anthony-rigoni Okay, I won't put "Digi-" before each word but I'll tell you how great this TV series is. When I watch the first episode of Digimon on TV, I was completely amazed at how awesome it is. Seven kids(Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, and TK) are transported into the Digital World, home of many unique creatures simply known as Digimon(Short for Digital Monsters). Now, Tai and the others team up with their new Digimon partners to defeat an evil Digimon called Diaboramon. Every Digimon battle blows me away and all the characters are greatly designed. If this TV series didn't blow you away when you were a kid, I don't know what else is. Digimon is a Digi-Masterpiece(Okay, I lied about not putting "Digi-" before each word)!

Angelus2 When ever I hear the word Digimon, a glimpse of my childhood is thrown at me; the show was based on a group of kids on their summer vacation who are sent to a digital world, were digital monsters reside. In this monstrous world each child is given their own guardian who can evolve into bigger and more powerful creatures.The show had a great storyline and had a great cast of characters who were all different and quirky in their own way, the digi-monsters themselves were interesting and the digiworld itself was a character, the villains however were the normal diabolic baddie that you would expect to find in children's shows...i.e. Devimon, Myotishmon.....Two of the best villains in my eyes....I liked each characters own little problem and how they dealt with it. The next generation of the show was terrible but I stopped watching by then, this in my eyes was one of the best children's cartoon show of all time....Fun, action and a bit of romance....

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.
