Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When it first came out, I was skeptical. I did think it was going to be a Pokemon clone as many other type shows were coming out. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Now with the show spanning four seasons (with only the first two connecting), it makes me appreciate more the greatness that is Digimon. I have to admit that the new seasons just do not live up to my enjoyment of the first two seasons. I felt it had better flow, better depth, and much better characters. The whole cast was very likeable and whether that was due to Saban's part in casting great voices or not, I commend them with that. It is sad to not be able to hear the Japanese counterpart or see it un-edited but it is understandable and I will take what I can get.
More about the show. The first series starts out with seven kids at a summer camp: Tai (Taichi), Izumi (Izzy), Sora, Jo, Mimi, Matt (Yamato), and his brother TK (Takeru). Unknownst to them but that was where they would embark on a journey of epic proportions (to be cliche). They see these lights sparkling in the sky like the aurora borealis and then they get their digivices, mysterious handheld machines that help them with their digimons' evolutions and get transported to the Digital World. They all land in slightly different places and waiting for them were their own respective Digimon. They got no time to rest as one mean digimon was there to put pressure on them. The series goes on with MANY plot twists, new evolutions, and amazing themes of courage and friendship. It might seem cliche and cheesy but it really touched me and it was all done in a very ingenious way.
What compelled me to write this review was seeing that others shared my view on digimon. I really hope what people get out of this review is to at least try watching the series. Rent or borrow this DVD, watch the new episodes on TV on UPN (season 4), which shows some promise. Though now that it seems that nothing is going on DVD, much less any home release, I feel a need to buy this DVD finally so that I can indulge in the nostalgia once again, .. and actually many times more.
