One of my all time favorites.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

but it never be regarded as the original. The first season was an excellent anime even in spite of it's glaring dub-related flaws. With the 3rd season we definitely got something much darker, more interesting, and overall much more effective by comparison to the first season. This time around the kids aren't referred to as digidestined but rather tamers (there is a considerable difference but the sad truth is both terms are used interchangeably) so there is no absolutes about Takato, Henry, and Rika saving the digital world with their digimon partners. The antagonists this time around are actually much more complex by comparison to the original in that they're not necessarily evil or out to rule world (human or digital) but all them are actually misguided (especially so with the final villain which I dare not spoil). Truth be told this season broke away from a few conventions of the series present in the 1st and 2nd season but more or less for the better. Of all the 5 seasons Digimon I've watched this is best of them (with only season 1 and 4 being very very close). Go check it if you deem yourself a fan of Mon series.

Hey, this is Blackguilmon here. You may know me from such forums as With The Will, The Digiport, and DATS. Now that I have watched the first four seasons, and some of the fifth season with subtitles, I feel I can now truly review this season to compare it to the rest.First of all, the ending was the best out of all seasons because it was sad but had a silver lining that suggested that Takato got to keep his promise to Guilmon, the one he made saying that he would come play with him again. I was crying during Takato's ending monologue, the voice actor did a wonderful job sounding depressed.Compared to the other season endings...Season one is the only ending that comes close to Tamers heart-felt ending. They had to leave their friends behind, and you didn't know if they would ever see each other again. It was sad, but not as sad as Tamers. Why? Because, Tamers not only developed the children, it actually developed the digimon as well as the adults for once.Season two ended and I was really disappointed with it. It was a really happy ending, but I could have done without them all being grown up. I also didn't like the fact that all the children had digimon, it made the original eight kids seem less special, as if just about anyone could have saved the digital world. They also didn't really develop the characters or digimon real well. Season Four... I'm indifferent. It wasn't really happy or sad. They developed a bond with their spirits, but the bond didn't really carry through the screen and into my heart like season three and one. I just... Can't decide what I think about this ending...All in all, Tamers had a darker, more realistic plot. I'm watching the Japanese version now and I'm liking it more and more with each episode. So much was cut out when it was dubbed into the American version, things that are, granted, sometimes not good for children to see. It was, after all, a children's show in America.My favorite character was Guilmon. Guilmon first won my heart over when he digivolved to Growlmon and defeated Devidramon. Then, afterwords, Takato became scared of Growlmon. You know what Growlmon did? He started crying. A gigantic dinosaur the size of a small condo is crying because he scared a little boy. I also loved his childish personality. So far, my favorite part of the show is in the Japanese version, Guilmon and Renamon are together and Terriermon walks up and sings a Japanese equivalent of "Guilmon and Renamon, sittin' in a tree" or something, and they both beat the stuffing out of him. It was taken out of the American version of course.Overall, Tamers was the best season in my opinion, and I'm glad that the newly made forums, DATS, is subbing the Japanese version for all to enjoy.

At first glance, "Digimon Tamers" comes off as a barely interesting tale with characters who aren't nearly as easy to sympathize with as those of the original. The saying that first impressions are often wrong has perhaps, never been more right.As it progresses, the show reveals itself as an addicting, exciting, and oh-so darker story than the (excellent) original. There are moments when this series suddenly jumps off the 'kiddie' train and presents drama that can surprise, anger, or otherwise touch viewers. Matters such as depression, self-evaluation, and of course, the bonds between the Digimon and the humans are all done quite well as every character becomes a little more interesting. In addition, this incarnation has the best written romance yet, and I found myself rooting for the two key players involved almost the whole time. The directing and battles are also decent, and some of the humor is actually funny. When all is said and done, if nothing else, "Tamers" is certainly one of those stories you'll remember--and for good reason.

Being a big fan of the first series of Digimon, and then the second, involving all new kids, I thought this show would be great. But I was very disapointed. The show as a whole is lacking. For starters the voices of some of the characters are not too convincing. The human characters are much harder to warm to, one being completely cold hearted, another is just plain dull and the third annoying, although the bad guy does have potential. The Digimon themselves seem wrong. They appear to be more closely related to the first set of Pokemon, or the monsters in Monster Rancher, they are far to humanoid in appearence or not strange enough. It is as if the artists could not be bothered to use their imagination any more after blowing a few cogs on the first two series. The plot is very repetetive and dull, the writers take far too long to explain anything in the story line, there are odds and ends just left floating.I would suggest giving this show a try if you are a fan of Digimon or Pokemon and all the modern anime, but it is not at all impressive.
