"It's not a depressing ending" you say that to my bawling face after every 01 rewatch 😭

“I care more about clear communication than flexing my digimon knowledge to the 10 of you who will care” God bless you Billiam, finally someone said aloud what needs saying

25:54 That wasn’t an error. That was intentional. The English voice actor for Tai had a family emergency that day and had to leave the studio early. Unfortunately, that line was so pertinent to the plot that they couldn’t just cut it from the episode. To make matters worse, the English dub was in a time crunch and couldn’t afford another day to voice any leftover lines. Remember, this is the 90’s. It wasn’t as easy as making a voice clip at home and sending it in an email. The actors physically had to be in the studio to record. The only solution they had was to have the voice actor for T.K. voice that line as best as she could’ve in Tai’s voice.

My 8 year old and I are watching it now. We're in the middle of Tamers. I can't begin to describe how much fun it's been to rewatch my favourite childhood show in its entirety. But I dread season 4. So far the little man has chosen Adventure as his favourite, his Digimon is Patamon/unimon/ piximon. I've drawn them all for him, including his own character (his chosen crest is reliability) it's been a ride I tell you. Now he wants a bio emerge with himself and Piximon. I have no idea how to even start on it. Help!

I was obsessed with Digimon growing up. Its influence is still felt in my "everyday" life. When I see the brand Lululemon in print, I absolutely pronounce it like a Digimon's name: lu-LU-le-MON

Sike this video was actually about how he slowly grew to love the dejirap

Frontier may not be deep but I love it dearly. It was my favorite as a kid and was the first anime I remember making a point to sit down and watch every week. As shallow as it is it really helped cement my love of anime. The sailor moon-esque transformations also helped sell the show lol

Your review about each Digimon season and movie is amazing. You explained which aspects you liked and disliked about each one in an extremely comprehensive way. Thank you so much for this amazing content.

During 01 every time they'd Digivolve, I'd call my dad in to watch it! It got to the point where he would just join me and have his supper while we watched the original gang kick Digibutt! Thanks for the memories Billiam :)

Digimon is the best isekai anime

digimon tamers has GOT to be my favorite out of the entire franchise. the ending act is just amazing and the D-reaper is such an interesting final boss. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STTTARTTTED ON THE ANGST, i think everybody loves some good angst in a tv show (i know i sure do). AND THE 2d ANIMATIONS FOR THE DIGIVOLUTIONS WERE SO FUCKINGGGG COOOOOOOOOOL

The Digimon Adventure section of this video made me realize just how much of it I watched as a kid. I thought I only ever watched the Devimon arc, but seeing the characters from the later arcs brought memories flooding back to me. I remember having a huge crush on Myotismon as a kid.

I recently met wormmons voice actor and I gushed about how important the show and characters of Ken and Wormmon means to me. We had a sweet conversation about how the show effected so many kids. He's a very nice guy.

"Leomon dies" that's it, that's the whole anime series.

My favorite thing about Digimon Adventure is how sometimes when they animated a character running away, they'd just play one animation three times, getting faster every time before continuing.

Man watching this is making me wish there was a beyblade retrospective - that show was my life as a kid

The ongoing “kill Leomon” trope is almost like a law in digimon media. Literally if any form of Leomon shows up, it’s guarantee to die

My headcanon is that the spores didn't _cause_ Ken to be evil, they just pushed him off the edge even further. It helps me feel a bit better about it.

Digimon helped me make friends when I and my family moved to another nation. I used the anime to invite schoolmates to my house on my birthday.

Man Digimon the Movie was one of my favorite childhood movies of all time, of ALL TIME. Most of my friends chose either Pokémon or Digimon, but I loved both. It was fun and nostalgic to hear you flesh out all of the franchise 🥰

Hahahahah when he said his favorite part of 02 was the world travel arc because of the cute winter outfits and aesthetic...... I FELT THAT.

This is a very emotional video for me, growing up in a super small town our cable company didn't the channel that had pokemon, so when that was the biggest thing Digimon was the biggest thing for me, it was basically pokemon in my mind and really good too, the characters look badass and unique, cool story arcs, when it came out it totally made up for the emptiness I felt never being able to watch Pokemon. The intense battles, the awesome transformations, the wondering what a transformation looked like, actually having transformations like Pokemon and how cool they turned out, those climaxes and things were the peak dopamine and serotonin experiences for me when I was that young. This literally was the most exciting thing to me at the time, just thinking about being so excited for it, telling my mom about it, my mom buying me the toys and cards and things for it, a large chunk of my emotions in childhood was centered around this show, just thinking about all that and how happy it made me, I could cry if I think about this too much lol

I saw a lot of these movies and shows on youtube back when anime episodes were uploaded in 3 parts so this was huge nostalgia trip for me

Of the original 8 digimon, I've always found Patamon's and Gatomon's evolutions to be the strangest. The others have fairly logical next stages; dinosaur becomes bigger dinosaur after spending time in the military, wolf becomes werewolf Billy Idol, etc. Even cactus becoming a flying plant makes sense. But a cat becoming a scantily clad attractive angel? And a flying puppy (I guess?) becoming an equally attractive angel? As a kid, these evolutions in particular had me scratching my head.

"but its digimon so...i need my goggles" that cracked me up

its so interesting hearing from the "western perspective" with the english versions of the show.

While I also loved Pokemon as a kid, the original Digimon anime has such a warm place in my heart. Unironically still think the story for that was really good, and I was glued to the TV through every episode as a kid.

Sorry for the Re-Upload! Copyright issues with one of the segments

I remember TK being my favorite growing up and not knowing why. As a kid, I usually liked the protagonist or whoever did the more fighting. TK was the opposite, he was a crybaby whose digimon never evolved until the very end of the first and last arc of the entire show. Then when I watched it again when I was older (in the dub for Latin America which stuck with the Japanese music and dialogue but borrowed the English names, I’m sorry but I can’t stand the English dub), I ended up realizing why I related to him so much, he was a young kid from a broken home as I was. I don’t even remember my parents separating like TK didn’t know. I remember one specific dialogue that had me emotional asf, and that’s when Sora wants to leave the group and TK stops her and says that “families suppose to stick together” very angrily, clearly projecting what he felt towards his family towards her. That hit me like a truck cause it’s like I watched my younger self and the emotions I couldn’t process on screen. People don’t talk enough how kids simply don’t know how to process emotional trauma and it’s up to our subconscious to find ways to cope with it, and my attachment to his character was probably one way in which my subconscious dealt with it. This is, in my opinion, what makes digimon so underrated

I know this video is over 3 years old but I am just now watching it for the first time. The insane amounts of nostalgia I have for digimon is insane. This is special because the only media from digimon I ever consumed were the 1st vhs of 02 and the movie along with Digimon 4 for the gamecube. Despite only having such a limited quantity of content to consume digimon at one point was more apart of my life than pokemon. I watched the movie at least 40 or 50 times with my brother when we were kids. The opening short was terrifying and so suspensful, the big fights to kill the spider things were so hype, and the last story was so weird and interesting. We had no idea who any of the characters were or any of the backstories, but solely from charm and direction we understood every emotion. It helped that the movies looked and still look amazing to this day, Another testiment to how timeless good animation can be.The late 90s early 2000s anime aesthetic along with the increasde budget for the shorts and movie. A lot of crazy shit has happened and I don't get to see my brother too often anymore. I needed to find this video and just reflect on stuff. Not gonna get too personal but my parents were divorced, I was on the internet a lot as a kid, and I loved cute monsters like any other kid did. Digimon never meant everything to me, but it remains such a strong piece of my childhood. Everything about the english dub is so early 2000s. A time before Bush and corporate greed plunged the economy and a world before social media took over. I am not some boomer who is gonna say social media is evil, because i have critical thinking skills, but what i mean is that the world felt huge, almost infinite as a kid. I had to grow up way earlier than I would've wanted to, the movie and the series in general is a reminder to more innocent times. Videos like this just make me smile so much, its so nice to just sit down and enjoy a funnt dude reminise about something we both loved as kids. thx Billiam

Digimon: Tamers was probably my favorite iteration of Digimon. It was a way to make us all feel like Digimon was more realistic than ever before. My friends and I all had Digivices and used to dream of obtaining the blue card. Leading us to create our own Digimon designs and use our Digivices in super fun imaginary games.

it is not a re-upload, iti s a master collection with a remake. lovely.

Not even 18 minutes in, and you made me want to watch the whole series.

Damn, the relationship arc between Billiam and the DigiRap was at least somewhere in the top three in the list of compelling things about this series.

I watched Digimon Fusion first and I loved it , I did not even realize that it was Digimon and thought of it as just a random anime. When I grew up a bit more , I discovered digimon and watched digimon adventures and then I watched this video and realized Fusion was digimon lol

Hearing the songs at [00:27:00] I'm really glad in Germany we had translations of the original Songs (They also are pretty awesome. "Leb deinen Traum" and "Wir werden siegen" for everyone who is interested)

Nobody: Billiam: HAVE I MENTIONED THE DIGIRAP YET?!?!?!

Frontier may not be deep but I love it dearly. It was my favorite as a kid and was the first anime I remember making a point to sit down and watch every week. As shallow as it is it really helped cement my love of anime.

The digimon first movie was really good for a simple movie, the way that greymon and parrotmon fights just came to life

They should make a game where you play as Leomon, the player would be filled with anxiety wondering when they were going to die 😂

Digimon tamers is part off my childhood. I just love its opening song and the story.

I love how the digivolutions step it up on the tech with the animations too, that has a really nice touch to it especially with them being digital

Watching this has unlocked so many memories. I didn't consider myself a big Digimon fan, but so many of the show review segments make me realize I watched most of the shows as a kid.

I used to play digimon with my two friends in elementary school on the playground where we pretended to be stuck in the digital world and so on. We played that every day for years. I haven't watched digimon in years and this video reminded me why I loved it so much. Now I gotta go watch them all ^-^

"Wizardmon, Gatomon's 'BFF Forever' or at least 'BFF for now'..." I shouldn't have laughed. I really shouldn't have. But I did. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Man I remember loving Tamers and Frontier the most growing up. To me Digimon Tamers gave me the emotional investment that I couldn't perceive when I first watched the original since I was too young at the time. While Digimon Frontier was a series I first watched at the start of my teenage years, when I first started hating being depended on parents, friends came and went with each school year and cool seemed better than cute, so when I saw a Digimon series where the humans weren't dependent on their partners to get stuff done and were actual combatants simply vibed well 13 year old me. Digimon based super transformation simply hit the golden ration between Power Rangers and Digimon as far as I cared at the time.

Digimon was the first anime I was obsessed with as a kid. I still remember how awesome all of the movies were, and watching all of the new series on TV when they came out.

Only real Gs know this Is a reupload

Tamers was the last Digimon series I remember being on tv. So it's fun to see what came after that.

As a 93' UK kid, I only remember a SINGLE episode of Digimon, and that was because I watched it shortly before getting food at a local fast food branch. That was an Event for me, for those who are curious, It was about the Digimon that was an Evil Tree.

Frontier is actually my favorite, mainly because of the nostalgia and Bokomon and Neemon.

I actually found the complete first season of digimon at dollar tree, so either I'm super lucky or dollar tree is really stupid

I just want to say, as a child, 'Times standing still!' Came off as intentionally awesome in the same way two equally skilled samurai with swords crossed is.

So glad you mentioned the Dark Ocean for 02. They could have done something really cool with Daemon, the Dark Ocean and the whole Oikawa storyline without having to bring back Myotismon

The songs and VAing in the english dub is iconic in its own right. I had that first Digimon movie on VHS and damn near wore thru the tape! "We're the kids in America, aye oh!"

There's an alternate universe where T.K. is the leader of the 02 team and Ken's double life is actually relevant to the plot and I'm disappointed that I don't live in that universe

Neat and fun fact: Veemon's voice actor was also Ken's.

The “hey digimon” song was so iconic. I’m surprised you didn’t like it. Very memorable

Thank you for perfectly explaining my favorite childhood show and game 💯💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

I saw "Child's War Game" in theaters at a special event with my cousin. We were huge fans of the card game at the time and even got a promo card for going to the event. I loved it, and it really brought me into Digimon for years, but it was always so hard to see more of it. Still, it was part of what got me into anime in the first place.

My favourite way to summarise Tri is "the literal personification of Homeostasis gets a bunch of kids roped into a fight with an ancient evil tree and goads them into conspiring to murder a cat."

Dude, the nostalgia hit me so hard that my eyes kept tearing up at random times

I really love 02. It’s my favorite season actually. A lot of it is the nostalgia and my love of the concepts introduced in the season, but I still love it

I'm looking forward to Digimon Survive. The reasoning behind putting visual novel elements into the game in a way that will accentuate aspects of Digimon that were generally only present in the anime (corrupted evolutions, for example) intrigued me. I want to see how they go about executing that.

I’m annoyed that you never mentioned that Kari’s digimon: Gatomon was the only one who remained in champion form

i LOVE the animation style of the gen1 movies. They have such great flow and that wonderful loose, relaxed feel. I have long wished the shows had been done in that same style. i grew up watching the original US airings on Fox Kids when it was on tv and saw Every. Single. Episode. gotta say i kinda lived for those angel ex-machina moments. and I loved "season 2" and still love it. I really enjoyed Ken's redemption arc and the eventual reveal of his backstory with his brother. I just wish we'd had more of those moments in "season 2". and watching that section of your rehash, I feel like Ken was what made that season... as for "season 3", i loved the shift to the real world, and as a kid it felt like the creators of the show were understanding that childhood desire for our fantasy worlds to be made real. that was the last season of the series i could get into, but it felt like a really good send of for a show that had shaped a huge chunk of my childhood.

This brought back memories, thank you

Frontier really touched me in my childhood. The English opening was my favorite and the whole turning into Digimon thing really appealed to me. As I grew up, I realized that the story was pretty poor xD. But, as you can see from my username, I loved it and I loved Kaiser Greymon, haha!

My inner magical girl anime fan: "How could you not like Frontier!? Look at all the cool transformation sequences!"

I remember finding a Swedish dub of movies 1, 2 and 3 mashed together as a child, and for years my only knowledge of the Digimon franchise as a whole were those three things. I actually thought they were just supposed to be part of one big movie split into three parts. I actually have the file for the Swedish dub on my PC My favorite was always the one with the internet, and it all just feels really nostalgic to me today. Just watching the clips, I can remember the Swedish dub, basically line by line

I can't believe I watched that all in one sitting, lol. It was so nostalgic. Growing up I LOVED Digimon, it was one of my absolute favorite animes. The growth of the characters and the lessons they had to learn were often so very relatable and real. And of course, the Digimon themselves I loved too. I watched every season until the end of Frontier (which I loved, and would roleplay with my friends becoming Digimon and getting all this new strength to push swings higher or lift heavy things lol.) I have seen most of the movies (well minis the ones that don't have to do with the original characters.). I want to find a way to watch the Ghost Game series now.

I personally enjoyed Frontier a lot, and honestly, I didn't know it was disliked by other Digimon fans.

I like Renamon's personality. I'm not into anthropomorphic sentient creatures. At least, not in "that" way. Renamon's just cool. And Guilmon is adorably goofy. Galantmon with Guilmon's voice is hilarious.

The amount of memories that just unlocked once I heard that Digimom Fusions theme is unreal

Not gonna lie, my favorite scene in all of digimon is from tamers. The scene where Beelzemon uses corona destroyer is the one that hit me the hardest. "What I did is beyond forgiveness, I don't need anyone to tell me that" hit me hard.

The first two Digimon films were and are amazing to me and two of my favorite childhood movies. I just loved the villains and the art style in them.

“Pokemon and Digimon are very different.” Me: what are talking about Charmander is the mascot for both of them.

@Billiam I love your vibe and subject matters in videos and how painfully in depth you go to explain your views. I've known your channel for like 1 year 1/2. I watch like 3 of your vids in a row... occasionally, but this digimon vid is awesome. Ive watched it 3x's so far already. Thank you bro. I love digimon, and its how i found your channel! Subscibed!

Oh man, the english dubs really slaughtered so many awesome intros. I'm happy that in Germany they kept most of the original songs

The first episode I ever saw of Digimon when it originally aired was the one where Wizardmon sacrifices himself for Gatomon. From that moment I was hooked and I've been a fan of the series ever since, but the abridged version of the movies brings back then charm the original had.

"When Im in a Bad Takes on Digimon Frontier competition and my opponent is Billiam"

I have always loved Digimon! I watched the movie so many times as a kid too! I somehow found the whole first season on three separate discs at Dollar Tree of all places a few years back 💛

Just imagine Oscar Isaac saying "Somehow Myotismon returned."

The first time I saw Digimon I loved TK's arc to no end, and the fact that Patomon is the unequivocally strongest of the partner digimon is just something I love, because it would've been so easy to disregard that after the first encounter with Devimon. I was actually more excited during the Digimon movie when Seraphimon just randomly comes out of nowhere than the Omnimon reveal. And I was equally disappointed when he did nothing whatsoever, despite being arguably the most powerful entity in the series up to that point. In his Ultimate form he obliterated a monster who singlehandedly defeated the Mega partner digimon with ease. Seraphimon should've been an apocalyptic old testament deity, not a throwaway power-up for Veemon and Terriermon. I get that as a narrative payoff, their idea just works better, but I see no reason Angewoman and MagnaAngemon couldn't have fulfilled the same person, if they weren't going to use their Mega evolutions, they shouldn't have included them

Watching this video opened a whole mind blast of memories from watching digimon as a kid

As someone who grew up with the German Dub The most nostalgic factor to this day is the music wich got worked over in the dub making it more than fitting for the mood, one of the cutting points that digimon is my personal *best* childhood anime

1:01:50 "Puh-ladin mode" This actually hurt my very being

And now digimon is getting another movie... Awesome

I love both frontier and data savers, have a fond memory of it being late at night, raining and watching the final few episodes of tamers where all the old digimons come back

Digimon was ahead of its time in terms of dubbing.

"the only way to watch the original series is to track down the 2012 dvd release" Yes, the only way Yarrrrrrrrrrr

>starts talking about the "return home" episode Oh boy.. "*Now, a few years ago..*" OOHHHH BOYYYYYYYY

I adore the jab at Leomon always dying at 30:13 with that *thunk* as he hits the ground. And one thing pretty funny about tamers was a random third tire character got a *MEGA* level companion as his default.

Divorced parents and terrorism. This show was way ahead of his time

This has been in my recommended for a long long time. I'm glad I finally gave it the almost 3 hours it deserves. You expressed all the thoughts I've had about Digimon, and many I didn't even realize I had. Now, time to listen to Butterfly and Brave Heart on loop.

When I was a kid their was a theory that the 02 team was scattered around the tamers universe. T.K. was the head of hypnosis Kari was Takato’s teacher Yolei works for hypnosis

cried watching this. Thanks Billi boi

I grew up outside of the US, where for some reason, the tv channel I watched the show on aired random Tamers episodes multiple times- specifically the ones where Jeri is possessed. So I ended up with this vivid childhood memory of possessed Jeri creeping me out most afternoons for several weeks…
