Forum:Favourite season?

I may be opening up a big can of worms on this one, but what's your favourite season of Digimon and why?--Rad140 23:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I've only seen Adventure and 02, but out of those two, I thought Adventure was the better. Adventure was structured, had a start/end, and some character growth, even if they were all stereotypes. 02 felt like it had potential, but never got there. Many of the episodes had little bearing on the season overall and felt like filler... I can't even remember half of the stuff that happened, although it did have moments. I've seen some of Tamers so far, and I'm really liking it. The english dub isn't as painful to watch, the characters have depth, and it's the most plausible (comparatively) season so far. --Rad140 22:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Tamers. I've never knew how beautiful Digimon could be until thenStinkomanFan 13:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I finished Tamers, and I have to say it's probably my favourite (Adventure 2nd, 02, 3rd.. haven't seen Frontier or Data Squad)...still, my favourite characters are the original guys from Adventure, but it was better having a smaller cast so character development could be focused on (which was a big problem in 02, IMO). Still, I don't understand why the Dub for every season has to be awful though. Rad140 "RAWR?  NO UPDATES!?"   00:08, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For me, one of the problems with Adventure 02 was how Daisuke went from idiot hero to deus ex machina. I mean, yeah, he could have used some character development, but it still hit me with some confusion.  The second Digi-Egg episodes were perhaps some of the best, character development-wise, as it seems the second digi-eggs were things that those characters hadn't quite learned how to hold.


 * I guess, I hated the World Tour part, because it felt so much like filler, even if it did set up the ending. Which, IMHO wasn't well done.  I guess I missed the drama and tension from Adventure.  The Spiral Mountain arc was very interesting, and the ending episodes had me on my toes.


 * I have a soft spot for Frontier, even if a lot of people hate it. I guess I just liked the premise, even if Takuya/Kouji stole the spotlight later on.  The Sefirotmon arc was awesome for character development on all sides.


 * Tames was god. Dark enough for pleasure, but light enough to keep me, it had a complex plot and enough friction in the group to make it awesome.  Still doesn't outplace Adventure in my heart, but I liked how they used the side characters.


 * I disliked Savers. Masaru started as hot-blooded idiotic hero and ended as such.  Visually, it was awesome, but character-wise, I hated everybody but Yoshino and Ikuto, and the former had like one day in the spotlight.  I just wanted to punch Masaru by the end.

 * Pretty much what Lanate said. I also disliked in Savers:


 * Masaru was such a ridiculous blend of anime cliches, it was infuriating.
 * Marcus's "tactical genius" amounted to shouting arbitrary codenames at Gaomon, who would do pretty much the same thing he always did. C'mon, Naruto had more tactical genius in his first real fight against Zabuza.
 * The Royal Knights, sworn to protect the Digital World, pursued a plan of action which would doom both worlds, and were killing humans just because - there was no intent to save their world in there. Then, they switch sides not because they recognize that Yggdrasil is both evil and insane, but simply because he makes a knock-off shield. This probably resonates with some kind of Bushido mentality, but it's just idiotic to any English audience.
 * It may just be because I watched it subbed, but what the hell was Yggdrasil trying to accomplish, anyway? I barely understood the finale.
 * With Adventure 02, the biggest things I disliked were Davis and how the new Digidestined had such a fit about deleting the Daemon Corps. c'mon, you killed Kimeramon, you killed Cherubimon, and these things are literally physical embodiments of pure evil. There is literally nothing which deserves extermination more in the universe, and added to that, you're not even killing them, just rebooting their program as Digi-Eggs.
 * The ending and epilouge. 1) Like hell Davis doesn't have dreams. 2) Dear glory, the epilogue is awful.
 * Also, I disliked how the movie could easily have been fitten into the anime, with just a few different scripting OR having the base powered by the Digi-Egg of Kindness instead. The Digi-Egg of Kindness could also have been a catalyst of Ken's redemption, or even be a fitting reason why he went all despondent in that episode. Glorious  CHAOS!  05:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and 02 also decided to focus more on relationships between the characters (romantic ones, apparently) than relationships between their digimon (isn't that a pretty big part of why we watch this show?) and we all know how that went.

(epilogue=drugs. At least it gives a pretty good reason for kids to stay off drugs.  "Hey, kids, don't do drugs, or you'll wind up with something like the 02 Epilogue," says the PSA announcer, who then hangs his hand and starts sobbing) Rad140  "RAWR?  NO UPDATES!?"   01:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
