Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

jephtha Provided here are compendiums of my thoughts on the individual Digimon seasons, which I felt would be appropriate given that this page regards them as one whole. For more thorough evaluations, feel free to refer to my season or episode reviews.Digimon Adventure: A successful beginning volume, originally a mini-series that garnered enough attention to merit an extension. Admittedly, not all aspects of the production have aged well. The art style works, but the animation suffers from the same hindrances as most children's anime, and the storyline is not as cohesive as it should be. The diverse, endearing cast of kids is the greatest aspect, a quality in which the series has remained unsurpassed in its own line. Much imagination is evident in this one, especially with the partner digimon, who collectively are the most appealing main monsters in the franchise.Digimon Adventure 02: A curious companion piece to the original. Rarely boring and brings the franchise some of its most influential elements. Strong themes of redemption and forgiveness, more substantial villains, some great monster designs and an emphasis on character relationships show potential for excellence. Unfortunately, evident poor planning during production derails much of this. A viable candidate for a re-imagining, though that is a long-shot if there ever was one. Digimon Tamers: The first reboot of the franchise, and also the grimmest of the seasons. Discards the fantasy elements of its predecessors, opting for the style of a sci-fi drama, complemented by higher quality animation. Sporadically poignant, but tends to get bogged down in watered down sci-fi themes. The storyline is more coherent than the first season, despite suffering from a meandering, unwieldly first half. An excellent final act is the main asset, boasting some of the dramatic and technical highlights of the franchise. The kids are mostly a chore to watch, with the exception of Rika, but the supporting cast of partner digimon and the adults pick up the slack when they can. Overall, a well-made and bold new direction for the franchise, even if it demands a bit of patience.Digimon Frontier: A fairly out of place second reboot that has the kids become digimon instead of partnered with them, a concept that would work better in a conventional superhero show. Suffers from a derivative storyline and underutilizes the more unique characteristics of its cast. Mostly non-menacing villains don't help, though the action sequences and animation are of fair to good quality, especially the last clash with Cherubimon.Digimon Data Squad: Continues the trend of reboots. Clearly emulates the more serious approach of the third season, but with much less intrigue and poignancy, and a less than welcome dose of melodrama. Derivative characters are not helped by uninspired partner digimon(although the updated Greymon subspecies is pretty cool), while the central villain is removed prematurely, hampering the final act. The technical aspects are above par for its own line, and the English dub demonstrates how effective director Jeff Nimoy can be when given more creative control. In summary: has good ideas that aren't fully capitalized on, great moments diminished by context, and not enough heart.Digimon Fusion: I decided to pass on this one, on the grounds that it just looks like the same old stuff, repackaged and drawn out. The "xros" idea also doesn't appeal to me, as it pretty much turns digimon into living lego pieces instead of creatures with evolutionary lines that can be followed. Maybe I'm wrong…but nonetheless, I don't see myself bothering with this one. As for the future of this franchise, news has been steadily poured out regarding a new project continuing the original story. The reboot trend has been stretched to its limits, and it's encouraging for the producers to recognize this, opting to build upon what is arguably the franchise's biggest success. Personally, I'm a LITTLE skeptical about a couple of things, but at the same time REALLY excited to see Digimon get the update that so many other old franchises have received (e.g. Transformers, G.I. Joe, Ninja Turtles, even Alvin and the Chipmunks for crying out loud). By covering the high school years of these guys, there is much opportunity to liberate this series from the usual kid-related tropes and delve into new territory. Let's hope they get it right.

manga-ka Oh, and the US is totally incapable of making crap? Get the eff off your high horse, American cartoons suck so bad most of the time, there is rarely any good effort put in "American" animation(We all know like 99% of all animation from the US and some from Japan is done in Korea), and you say the stuff that comes from Japan is all crap? Neither Pokemon nor Digimon are a copy of each other, it's just Japanese culture to be fond towards "pet simulators"; plus the naming thing is another Japanese quirk, it's like how we acronym things, like S.W.A.T. Despite your lambasting, Digimon is actually well written given the demographic, it's got strong messages about morality, life, and how good and evil isn't all that simple, and it can be thought provoking at most times. The character design isn't bad, there's a wide range actually, it's quite imaginative. If anyone else argues that, I'd like to see you draw something that appeals to a lot of people. As for the literary aspect, these characters are well written and fully realized, the wonkyness of the cast and plot is mostly attributed to the awful localization of the first two seasons. For gods sake, don't be ignorant and put something down just because it doesn't appeal to you, I may be biased though, since as young as I remember, I grew up watching Digimon, and I'd like to say it has made me a much moral, thoughtful, intelligent person with a deep respect for life. Seriously, this series has its good points, and I'm not crapping on people's opinions otherwise, but you should know just how infantile you are flaming a series just because it gets on your nerves or how you don't like it. I doubt you can come up with any good reason why this series is bad.

Meuron OK, I began watching this before Pokemon, I liked both anime series, however I thought this was way better the Pokemon, why? Because it wasn't quite as predictable. Once the first season or so of Pokemon came through, I saw it being just milked for all it was worth, more Pokémon being added etc.Digimon, although released a while after Pokemon, had several differences - mainly the evolution and the actual layout of the story.However like all TV series however good, future seasons become more dragged along and lose the main characters of the first original season.Still, if I had the choice between watching all Digimon series/movies and playing the games etc. to Pokemon's movies/series and games, Digimon would win.

daily_angel i first saw Digimon when it was aired on fox kids. from the first episode it caught my attention and i loved it very much.i know many people say it's a rip off Pokémon but actually Digimon excised almost ten years earlier and the only two things they have in common is the ending of the name (mon) and the fact that the kids are together with cute and strange figuresDigimon is an very matured series, even though it seems to be for young kids. The kids stuck in Digiworld have the same problems as everyone has, like Izzy being adopted, Sora's bond with her mother, Matt and T.k's divorced parents, Joe's tough dad, spoiled Mimi and Tai's older brother role over Kari.the kids are on summer camp when they become stuck in the Digiworld and meet all these strange creatures and befriend some of them. they have to work together with them to save their world. these kids have to be unselfish and fight for something like they never had to do. because of this they become more mature and get great personality.Digimon is never without problems but even through the fighting there are lighter moments and times which makes the show easy to watch even for the younger watchers.if anything, people can learn great things from Digimon cause not only is it entertaining, it also educates the watchers without it being strange or stupid.it has been a very long time since i saw Digimon but i still miss it a lot. the show is fit for young and old.i rate this show a 9 cause even though there are some errors and flaws in the show. the characters are so well worked out that you can live into them without trouble and understand all of their emotions. besides the plot is nicely worked out without questions being left in the end.
