I've just been wondering: why do all these animes look so darn much alike? Not only in plot (catch-raise monsters, protect the world from evil), but also the drawings!! Is there only one cartoon drawer in all of Japan or something??? I mean: Ash, Tai, Ikki (Medabots),... they all look like the same recycling of a 10-to-12-year-old kid with hair which was gelled permanently on a bad-hair-day!!!
