I wanted to but couldn't!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Digimon is a classic children and Family anime that was released in 1999. It is a series that changes frequently by season, so my review will first focus on the first 4 seasons individually, and then my thoughts on the show as a whole.Digimon Adventure: When people think of Digimon, they think of the Adventure series. Adventure supported strong characters, great storytelling, and a nice focus on relationships the characters have with each other and their Digimon. Tai, Matt, Joe and TK's story lines were particularly memorable, because these characters grow so much individually by the end of the season. I also appreciate how this season covered serious family issues including adoption and divorce. These focuses were surprisingly mature for a children's television show. The story was at its strongest during the middle arc; giving the characters the opportunity to understand themselves more, and form stronger relationships with each other. It especially got dark in the final arc of the season. What didn't work about the season was the first 12 episodes. It had some interesting parts, but it was mostly very dull, with the series picking up with the arc finale. I also felt the show should've touched on romantic relationships as well as friendships. Overall its strong character development and great storytelling give it an 8.3/10.Digimon Adventure 02: The sequel to the original Adventure, showing the original characters 3 years older, with a new set of Digidestined led by Davis Motomiya. TK and Kari also join the new Chosen Children as well. A lot works in this series. The characters are just as lovable as the original; especially Ken and Davis. It also expands on the Digital World, and how other children across the world are connected what happens there too. It's also pretty amazing to see our other favorite characters from Adventure as teenagers. You particularly see a lot of Tai, Izzy, and Matt. A surprise villain, as well as the phenomenal character development of Ken, are particularly memorable about the season. However, this season occasionally drags a bit, particularly during the Arukenymon/Mummymon arc, and the globalization of Digidestined takes away from the original idea of limited "chosen". Then there's the lame epilogue. Because of the nostalgia, continuing great characters, mostly good writing, but a slightly lower quality; this season receives a 7.7/10.Digimon Tamers: This version introduces tamers Takato, Henry, Rika, and later Ryo as well as supporting characters Kazu, Kenza, and Jerri; in a different time line from the original. It also features changes to the Digital World's established rules, and Digimon as a card game. This series is the best incarnation of Digimon. The character development spans even greater than the original, especially among Rika and Jerri. This version of the show portrays much darker ideas than the original including death, depression, and the Digital World as an archetypal wasteland. Some of the best Digimon of the series are introduced including Terriermon, Renamon, and Beelzemon. The series also focuses more on Asian folklore more than the others, by introducing Deyvas and Spirits. This mature version of the series expands beyond what the original ever gave us, and provides a sad, realistic, and hopeful ending that actually left me bawling. The show never loses its original charm though; through the occasional childish Digimon, lame puns, and the strong grounding friendships. My only complaints are the large focus on Jerri at the end and the sudden and random entrance of Ryo. The card game idea also had to grow on me. Because of its many strengths, the show gets a 9.5/10.Digimon Frontier: This incarnation of Digimon is a love-letter to the original; focusing on leader Takuya and his group that inhabit Legendary Warrior Spirits that allow them to become Digimon themselves. There are several things that work in this series, and several that don't. I love the characters, but their backgrounds could have been expanded much more. There is too much focus on the shared loneliness the characters face, rather than different issues that bring them together. The Kouji/Kouichi story was brilliant though. The idea that humans could become Digimon was great because it allowed the children to do something in the series other than cheer on their partners. The only thing missing from this was the strong bond between the Digimon/Human partners. However, the warriors did have a spiritual connection with the humans, an idea that was most expanded on with Takuya. But this idea should've been explored further. The series also portrays corruption, an archetypal wasteland, and features cameos of Digimon characters from the first 3 series. The villains were pretty boring though, with the exception of Cherubimon and Mercurymon. Lucimon would've been much more interesting if he didn't spend most of the series whining about needing more data. It also sucked to watch the characters lose and nearly give up so much towards the end. It was a downer, and happened too often for it to make an effective point in the story. I also loved the edition of Trailmon and the romantic tension between JP/Zoey. Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi also had fairly decent character development. Even though this is the weakest incarnation of Digimon, it's definitely underrated; therefore a 7/10.Overall, the series as a whole will forever be a beloved anime and children's classic. It has introduced many young people to anime, and acts as a transition to more mature television, movies, and adult ideas. The series' focus on friendship and love as the ultimate weapon against evil is a powerful message for children. The realistic portrayal of children and their problems make the show relatable. Overall the characters, story lines, and philosophies explored in the show are realistic but somehow light-hearted; making it a mature, smart, and funny children's classic. And it's completely underrated.8.1/10

Digimon: Digital Monsters is an English translated version of Digimon: Adventure, it's your typical imported Japanese anime from the late 90's about monsters and children. Critics have criticized it as being a pseudo version of Pokemon, Digimon however is far from being a rip-off it shares common aspects with more popular Pokemon such as children befriending the monsters, the monster evolve, the monsters battle etc. Unlike the lighthearted Pokemon however, Digimon is more of a classic tale of good and evil it's plot is completely different from that of Pokemon. I have seen other anime that follow what I call the Pokemon formula, Digimon is not one of them. The Pokemon formula: A character aims to be great at something, goes on a quest, wins things, monsters come out of stuff to battle (cards, toys, balls, etc), usually involves some kind of monster tournament. Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakugan, and others follow this formula more than Digimon. If anything Digimon has more in common with science fiction anime's or Saturday morning American cartoons about action and adventure, than it does with the other monster anime.The characters are not your typical one dimensional anime characters, all of the characters seem to have very distinctive personality's with interesting back stories that keep the viewer interested. Even some of the villains and Digimon themselves. The anime is a lighthearted tale of good and evil, with some mature themes mixed in such as losing your parents and death, the anime also teaches kids about teamwork, friendship, and the importance of working together. The anime has great plots and sub plots that are not to complex for children to follow, but are very well written and interesting.The English version of Digimon is filled with cheesy puns and comedy to keep kids laughing, and a score composed of cheesy 90's early 00's pop rock to catch their ear. The English version also has some of the more intense scenes removed from the original Japanese version making it more appropriate for kids, without parents having to worry about Digimon being a bad influence on children or to dodge controversial Japanese anime stereotypes. For the older audience who may enjoy anime, the original Japanese version of Digimon Adventure, features a much more serious script (the dialog at times is usually completely different), a beautifully composed score made up of orchestra, electric synths, J- Rock and J-Pop, and features much more as a lot was cut out of the English dub to make it more suitable for western children and western audiences.

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.

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.
