Why I liked tamers was the fact that it switched everything up. Guilmon being the only main digimon lead being a virus digimon was refreshing

Digimon Tamers has the honor of being able to *still* make me cry- even as an adult.

Listen. The way Tamers handled that CRESCENDO of Jeri's pain into the D Reaper was SO well done. No holes in the development, whatsoever and absolutely HEARTWRENCHING.

Tamers is my favorite out of all of Digimon. It took the concept of those times kids wished for Digimon (and also Pokemon and many other similar shows) to be real. What we never thought of when making such wishes was the dangers that would accompany them. The fact Tamers took that idea and showed that it wouldn't just be all fun and games and would instead be dangerous was cool to me. However even though every series of Digimon had their good moments and I could enjoy each for what they were, Tamers was the best for me. Honestly I hope they make a sequel to Tamers one day. Something for the fans of the series like what was done for Adventure Tri. Either as a set of movies like they did with Tri or a full on series. Whichever they go with a sequel should be done. (I know they made a CD audio drama but I want full on animation.)

I really did enjoy Tamers I had a darker field, it felt different than the rest of the Digimon series and sometimes you actually felt bad for the villains for example Impmon, and yes the characters did feel like they got more development than in the other series.

Tamers does Sci-Fi better than Adventure and Adventure does better Fantasy better than Tamers, so its a tie in my eyes.

"Why Digimon Tamers Is The Best Digimon Season" I've got two words for you: Chiaki Konaka

They both had strong points to them, but yeah Tamers had such an immensely well written emotional arc for the time, dealing with stuff in a kid's show that hasn't been that well done until perhaps Adventure Time how many years later. I respect writers who aren't scared to tackle the topic of loss of self when it comes to entertaining kids. Brilliant stuff.

Goggleheads Taichi: Hotheaded yet likeable Davis: Didn’t dark digivolve his partner Takato: Very Moody but relatable Takuya: Kind of forgettable Marcus: LEEROY JEEEENKINS Mikey: Friendship and other stuff Tagiru: Badass, reckless, but does his best to help Who’s your favorite Gogglehead

I loved this because it was a cartoon that wasn't afraid to get dark. This is an element that I really value in cartoons and one of the things that makes a good cartoon into a great cartoon for me.

Before I watch this video, let me just say this: Digimon Adventure may have the best storyline and main cast, but I've yet to see a season that surpasses or even matches the iconic world building and battle system of Tamers. With the D-scanners, tamers can use cards to empower their digimon in combat. This is even better than pokemon, since digimon can fight without instructions and now their tamers can focus on supporting them with cards. Why did they give up on that 🤧

Digimon are the best franchise. You don't have to fight about which season is the best. Every season (and Digimon game) is special and unique in their own way. If you don't like some of them, it's fine. If you love some of them, it's also fine. Try to uderstand the series and their messages with your mind and your heart...like a true fan and Tamer

Tamers amazing. It was full of mental trauma in the form of Juri, had a great opening song, The Biggest Dreamer by Wada Kouji, has Renamon consuming an energy drink, more character development than any character in a Pokemon anime, and a movie that made no sense but it had the song Egao by Wada Kouji in the Japanese version so who cares if it makes sense or not.

Show some love to Frontier.

Tamers is my favorite Season, but my second favorite is Frontier. I actually prefer it Adventure for several reasons, one of them being that it's the one I watched the most as a kid and left the bigger impact on me.

Dude Digimon Tamers was a actually the first season I finished and I loved it.

Tamers was just felt more real to me the plot just didn't let up when the devas came then beealzemon being a dick then turning good to everything that went down with Jeri ( I only wished they did megidramon better it used non of it's real power)

Gotta love Guilmon, really hope that they do a 03 cast Tri. series. ❤ Would be amazing.

Yeah, I agree with this video. Tamers has always been my favorite Digimon season, because of the deeper story. Also, I'm a fan of deconstruction, and Tamers is a deconstruction of Digimon, in that it shows what Digimon coming into the real world would really be like. But Adventure will always have a special place in my heart.

Digimon 1 was for my favorite characters from series, Digimon 02 was mostly just for their designs(as I grows up, 02 and it's sequels was like newer pokemon anime with digimon replacing pokemon) And digimon tamers hold answer of this question: how to give kids superpowers without removing their digimon partners? Frontier make digidestined overpowered and savers make the digidestined trained martial artists(with ambiguougly metahuman physical stats to keep up with their digimons they fought alongside themselves)

I will be honest, I love adventure but..... Tamers has always been my favorite season, so I agree. Tamers is the best, but I understand if others don’t go with my opinion.

Congrats on 15k. I really like Digimon Tamers and it's my favorite digimon season along with Digimon Adventure. I'm glad you made this on Odaiba Day In Japan and the new digimon adventure project might be a theatrical project

My favorite series is tamers and I hope they return to the tamers universe later.

I don’t care if data squad is not as liked compared to the rest but I think it’s the greatest. Marcus and shinegreymon had so many hype moments that I say it’s my number 1 and tamers is my second favorite !!!!

I do believe that most Adventure fans likes Adventure the best because it was the first Digimon season that they have watched from their childhoods. Adventure was also the first season that I have watched and I liked it and that made me to become a Digimon fan. I'm one of the fans who watched Digimon: The Movie first before Adventure 02 because the movie in my country was dubbed first before Adventure 02 was dubbed and aired on TV like Adventure. I saw the movie on a VHS that I rented on a video club and that movie made me to know about Davis, Yolei and Cody's existences. When Adventure 02 was finally aired, I remembered that I was very happy to see the same characters that I have seen from the third part of the movie, but when I first saw Digimon Emperor/Ken, I thought that he was one of the villains of this season, but after he turned into good and became another main character, I realized that he wasn't that much of a villainous character. I remembered liking Adventure 02 a lot when it was still a new season, but in the next year, I first saw a trailer of Tamers and I remembered that I was very excited because it looked very interesting to me and I liked how Terriermon (one of the digimon that I recognized from the third part of Digimon: The Movie) was one of the main digimon of this season. When this season was finally aired, it became my most favorite season of Digimon and Guilmon became one of my favorite digimon. I enjoyed it a lot more than the previous two seasons, but I still like the previous two seasons because they are Digimon series. I still haven't seen a Digimon season that I truly dislike yet, but I'm not counting Adventure tri. because it's a movie series, not a TV Series. I do not like Adventure tri. that much, but I'm so glad that they made it into a movie series instead of a TV Series. If it was made as a TV Series instead of as a movie series, it would probably be worse. If you like Adventure the best, that's fine. We all have different opinions and tastes on liking a Digimon season. Adventure may be the first Digimon series, but that does not mean that it's the best season ever. We have many other fans who likes other Digimon seasons that isn't Adventure or Tamers like Frontier, Savers/Data Squad and Xros Wars/Fusion. I also like Frontier, but I don't understand all those hates on this season.

Fun Fact: Dukemon from Tamers are not Royal Knight member just like Omegamon from Adventure are not one of Royal Knight" They are simply "another" Dukemon and Omegamon. And both of them can't fly thats why they got mode change who give them Wing.

Guilmon was one of my favorite Digimon tamers and in my top 5 in Digimon in general

I think both Tamers and Adventure are amazing, they are unique in its own way, but Tamers has a much darker tone. I don't really like to say one is better than the other because i feel like they are both great and it just comes down to which one you like the most

Digimon Tamers was my first season of Digimon I've seen from start to finish before I got the chance to see the other seasons. As I grew up, I noticed that Digimon's stories have more adult themes like families being separated, self-sacrifice, overcoming one's inner demons, and even death. Digimon doesn't hold any punches, but it never takes it too far and I like that.

I always understood why people love Tamers so much. However my favorite series is Frontier, if only for one very specific reason. The humans deal with their own problems.

"Matt and Tao have had many fist fights and Marcus, well, he punched God"

I remember tearing up when I was watching the final episode. Tamers is the best with Adventure coming in second.

Tamers is my favorite, but my second favorite is actuallu Xros Wars. While I feel like the story suffered a bit from too big a cast, the show tackled many themes it was going for quite well. I think it did the idea of the Dark Masters much better, giving each one their own group of episodes to flesh out how horrible (or tortured, or actually loved) each was. It also revisited the Digimon Emperor idea with... Ah nuts, what was his name... Anyway, he didn't see the Digimon as living things until his Digimon guardian, who at first only also saw the human as a tool, died trying to help him. I'm sad Hunters through time was soooo bad and Takeru stole so much screentime because he was so damn annoying. I wanted to see Taiki work on passing the mantle more to someone who deserved it.

Man i really loved Digimon My favorite has got to be Digimon Tamers then Digimon adventure 1 and 2

Call me crazy but Zero Two is my favorite. I didn't like any of the main cast in 01 but I just loved Davis and older Kari and Ken. Them knowing more about the digi world and not running around like headless chickens was a nice touch I don't think gets enough credit.

@ZeroDex “Goddamit furries, you guys just have to ruin everything” I love how you said this in a completely calm and non emotional way 😂😂👍👍

Tamers is just so natural and has an awesome feel Idk why but for me not even using nostalgia (my fav is frontier) I feel tamers was super nicely done and had such a great impact on digimon I kinda feel it was the reason for more digimon animes

I'm agreeing you there... though Tamer's Ending always felt sad and the aftermath movie is concern "CANON" but not. I can't say one is better than another only because the whole concept of Digimon is special.

Imma need a data squad video as well cause you dissect and explain everything so well plus data squad had some gem like moments

only 2 things I like about tamers how they mega digivolve and BEELZEMON!!!.. other then that wasn't too important for me and about advanture i liked the idea of having more characters. I like it that they spend their most time in digital world. I like MYOTISMON!!! best villain ever... I like that myotismon was interested in the human world. I like that there was a 8th digidestined missing and his partner was actually raised by the villain.. I like that patamon did not digivolve in time as most of the fans was expecting him next but he did in critical time and becames an angel and I'm sure it blows everyone mind.. I liked the idea of not taking good care of your digimon makes them turn into an unexpected and unwanted digimon like in skullgreymon case... so many things I like about advanture 01.. 2 things I dislike in it tho and u already mentioned them the dark masters did not last long and the rest of the digimons did not have their mega forms in the show.. so yea I like advanture more then tamers..still it's good to know your opinion 😀😘

11:48 not only that, but in that season, they are not "chosen ones" they are tamers, both the kid and the digimons choose to have eachother, so the fact that the last evolution it's done by fusing with eachother it's a great cartartic moment

8 characters I think you mean 16 Digimon are people too

Just in time for Odaiba Day! Anyways, as much as I like Digimon Adventure, I love Tamers the most, especially since it was one of the very first anime I ever watched along with Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon, and it still holds up to this day. Tamers was very bold even for a kid's show at the time, and actually went into subject matter that most kid's shows would normally avoid. I do think it helps that the series director, Chiaki Konaka did a lot of dark stuff intended for older audiences before he made Tamers, being the series director of Serial Experiments Lain, and if I remember right, he helped work on Neon Genesis Evangelion as well, which a lot of people compare Tamers to (fun fact: The D-Reaper was inspired by the Angels from Evangelion, so I can see ). There's yet to be another Digimon series like Tamers though, Savers/Data Squad tried to have some of the same elements that Tamers had, but I feel they weren't executed as well as they were in Tamers. This is especially true in a day and age where anime intended for a younger demographic tends to try too hard to imitate Pokemon, Beyblade, and all the different card game anime, and are more focused on selling merchandise over telling a story that can take itself seriously while still still being for kids, which is one of the things I always loved about Digimon was how it took itself seriously while still being made for kids and wasn't blatantly toyetic, which is one of the reasons I don't like Xros Wars, among many, MANY other reasons. The only thing I DON'T like about Tamers is that, even as much as I love it, I feel fans place it on a pedestal and overhype it, but that's about it really. Also Ryo, but that's another story.

Watching Digimon dubbed growing up, Tamers was my favorite. One day, I happened to see the ending of Digimon adventure 1 in Japanese compared to the dub and that REALLY made me get into Digimon again, particularly Adventure. After rewatching every season subbed, I like Adventure the best though Tamers is second for me. But the music, and the attachment each character has to their digimon I just feel more in adventure. And like you said, Adventure makes the digital world into a place of adventure, which I prefer in anime in general as well. Oh and Culumon and Xiao-Chung kind of annoy me a lot in both the dub and sub lol.

I think the new Ghost Game have the potential to become the one of the best digimon series

Tamers smooch one story plot was refreshing. And the villain turning a new lead with beelzemon was great. Not to mention it felt more unique that it was the D-reaper that would be the end boss, not Yggdrasil or a super ultimate digimon

I would’ve liked to see adventure and tamers characters do a crossover. Seeing tai and tokato together would’ve been a dream come true.

Tamers was DEFINITELY the best digimon series.

The best part of Tamers is that there is a ton of character depth of the Digimon versus Adventure, which mostly focuses on the humans.

Tri wasnt perfect but i wasn't bad either I feel like there could have been more to it though. But I enjoy tamers and adventure including 02 cuz I see that as adventure as well

It had Impmon, that is all

Digimon Tamers: Takato one man carries the show. < best dood ever.

Regarding a new adventure continuation if ever it happens It would honestly be better if its te same old one episode a week routine like other anime That and for god's sake get better writers and more supervision on them

The 2 main reason I like digimon tamers it's because: Number 1: I like how the tamers use their cards and digivice to modify their digimon giving them extra power, increase their speed, giving them weapons or special attacks Number 2: I like the idea of tamers merging with their digimon to allow them to digivolve into Mega

@ZeroDex, didn't we get to see Angewomon and Angemon digivolve into their megaevolution in the American release of Digimon that went from Adventure 01 to Adventure 02?

As far as fleshed-out antagonists are concerned, I think Yukio Oikawa in Adventure 02 had a substantial backstory that was somewhat redemptive like Impmon/Beelzemon, although the focus in Adventure 02 was in how Oikawa was possessed by Myotismon at the moment of his grief and remained so until he was no longer needed. I think the darkest moment in Adventure 02 was when he lured children into the world of dreams (instead of the Digital World) like the Pied Piper, which still reads to me as a metaphor for child abduction and torture. Similarly, Beelzemon killing Leomon in Tamers visibly fucked Jeri up and played right into her depression.

You can't directly compare them. The only things they have in common are digital monsters that can evolve and come from a digital world and childs with a digital device that team up with them. But the consistence of digimon, the story behind what makes them evolve and the reason why digimon and humans team up is completly different.

Guilmon, my favorite rookie, and Gallantmon....my favorite Mega level Digimon....enough said!

I also really liked the card enhancements in tamers lol. Seeing terriormon with the brave shield was the best

Tamers is definitely my Favourite ♥️ Currently making a video on lesser known facts about Tamers. If possible, guys please have a look 😊

Impmon's arc as a character holds up against some of the other best character arcs in anime history

I love that they used cards to power up there Digimon

I like more the Digimon adventure, maybe because it's the beginning. And I've watched it when I was 4 and still love it.. And also because almost all of the types of Digimon was present there. And yeah you're right it's sad that only Agumon and Gabumon were able to reach their Ultimate form.Data Squad is good too..

Tamers is my brothers favorite and he doesn’t even watch digimon XD

Data squad all the way bro I watch all shows and it was the best for me man!!!!

can you do all type of Digimon fusion next ?

Tamers is so good! Idk if I'd say if I like it better then Adventure, I'd probably say they're tied but I totally agree. Tamers was a fun and different take. So good

Strongly disagree overall. I dislike the idea that common systems of storytelling, such as character development, inherently make a story good and are needed. I don't believe they are. I think a story needs what a story needs and that there's some which benefit from such formulas, while others that are fine without them. I appreciate the stoicism of some of Digimon Adventure's cast and the extenuation of their individual character traits to such a degree, they serve as the underlining connection and conflict between each character, as well to their Digimon. There's fortitude in their consistency, which keeps inline with the narrative, that their personalities are integral to the overarching conflict. It helps drive the idea, that these kids had something special about their personalities, something that could overcome such otherworldly odds. As counterintuitive as it's going to sound, I propose this makes the characters feel more real. Character development in storytelling is exaggerated, because there's a romantic aspect to growth, that we as people admire and strive for. However, such change is highly unlikely and somewhat unrealistic. Within too short a timeline, kind of inorganic as well. Just look to your own interpersonal relationships. People may change for the better or worse, but if you really look at them closely, it's not so much their personalities that have changed, but their reaction to circumstance. This is what makes Digimon Adventure's cast so endearing and unforgettable, despite the show being all about Wargreymon and Metal Garurumon in the end (one point I agree with you on, but feel torn on. I enjoyed how open ended everything felt and that many Ddigimon didn't reach their mega levels, because the show never felt "over" and there was beauty in such incompletion. One reason I love Digimon is how vast and unexplored everything feels.)

Terriermon is cuter than Pikachu *CHANGE MY MIND*

if you are a real fan of adventure 1&2 is not separated

02 is the best imo. The price of 02 merch says a lot about it's popularity too. Here in the US more people where exposed to 02 than any other season, I believe. That and the adventure and 02 timeline have more digidestined than any other timeline. The passing of the torch from one group to the other. It brings a sense of unity and consistency that a lot of the later seasons seem to lack. Its simply a much bigger and better world than any other season.

Any plans to rank all the seasons from worst to best?

Personally I like Tamers and Frontier more than the other shows.

Tamers is the best season because it had the best story arc , the best "Villain Digimon" with Beelzemon ( and impmons development) and the best charakter development out of all the seasons

At 11:43 , what's the manga that the picture's from ?

Whene will you make a video about digimon 2018 thanksgiving? And i prefer xros wars s1 only not s2

i personally like tamers the most and think of it as the best. as a writer myself, i just love the story and character writing. however, my second favorite is digimon savers (data squad) by far and it actually comes close to tamers in most aspects. i guess its because savers was the first i saw, but i just cant think of it any different anymore.

I became a fan mid season of the First Digimon. When I heard that they were changing the series settings and just focusing on 3 kids and their Digimon, i hated the idea and i wanted it to fail but i did a 180 very quickly. Tamers was perfect

They need a tri equivalent for this series, they left it on such a cliffhanger

Th reason I really love Tamers is that it’s the most realistic digimon season. Takato, Henry, Rika, Ryu and the other two guys I forgot their names are Digimon fans, the Digitital world actually seems realistic. I know that sounds dumb, but the fact that they where only in the digital world for like 15 episodes and it was complicated to get into the digital world and difficult to get out made it more special imo. Whereas in other seasons they constantly went into the digital world and came back like they where turning on a switch. Also the three main digimon are so like able and the fact the team is small is much better imo. There’s so many great things about tamers I can go on and on but these where some that came to mind.

As a kid I never liked Adventure, I was more into Pokemon, but somehow Tamers did catch my attention and I ended up loving it. As an adult, I actually love Adventure; but mainly because they kept that storyline evolving with Adventure Tri and Kizuna, and they knew how to make it personal for us adults who are dealing with nostalgia and with past friendships that we still miss and love. Would have been interesting had they done that with Tamers too

I personally liked both but went with Adventure just cause the main guy in Tamers reminded me of Ash from Pokemon. #TeamDigimon!

What confused me about Tamers in the english version was that Renamon is female. I'm german and I only know it as a male Digimon.

Just finished rewatching Tamers, for like the umpteenth time, still makes me cry. At the end, few moments in the season, its just so good. There's really only ONE episode that has no overall purpose in the story, other than being a silly episode: Kazu and Kenta's Excellent Adventure... Love Tamers. Loved it ever since I saw it on TV as a child and I still love it all these years later.

"God damn it furries you guys just have to ruin everything" LMAO

Another wonderful video

I still love them all equally.

I believe that every seasons have a special things about it yes tamer have a really good story and character but the beginning in human world was boring it barely have some real action and i really dislike the digital world in it it felt so empty unlike frontier or xros wars these to seasons have the best digital world in my opinion it's full of colour and Digimon and that's why it felt more alive in the end what i was trying to say it's that all of Digimon seasons are good because each one of it have something special about and know we have a new seasons named ghost game and i really enjoy it i really like it the mysterious atmosphere in it

Good video ,interesting , i remember watch this show after the homework in 3 grade and have the toy

"just like yamcha" subbed

4:16 this reminds me of Gijinka HTFs in Coffins scarred me from googling them

Can you do one on adventure why its better?

I have watch almost all of the digimon series. I've watched 1 to 3 and frontier and Digimon Xros Wars. and I'm 12. Love the series and am starting to get into it again. about to rewatch every series.

I love Adventure 2 the most =)

Okay, so you take Tamers over Adventure, I respect that. But I have to ask, what are your thoughts about the other seasons, how do they fair up? I personally believe the second best season is Adventure 02, though I guess it's because of nostalgia, but still, Adventure 02 is the only season to be a direct sequel to a previous season, unless you count Adventure Tri. Data Squad I think was an interesting season and I loved the idea it had of having a sort of Digimon "police force" as it gave the main characters an easier way to get involved with the plots (similar to Power Rangers: SPD), though the villains took forever to show themselves. With Frontier, while I think it was the weakest season, I liked the Legendary Warriors and it introduced both the Royal Knights as well as Lucemon, the leader of the Seven Great Demon Lords. I've got nothing to say on X-Wars since I haven't really seen it yet or any other season after that.

Digimon Tamers is totally awesome! I think for mass audience, it is better. But for kids Adventures is better in my opinion. The reason I say this is because the character development in Adventure is, well, better. And the cast is more relatable and can give good lessons to kids (and adults). In that sense I say Adventures is better as a simple story that everyone can enjoy. But Tamers deals with some mature themes that I think attracts older people. The development and story are still fantastic but I dont think it reached the point of Adventures. Adventures was too simplistic and light that I can see why an older viewer would be attracted a lot more to something more complex like Tamers.

Absolutely agree Tamers ftw!

My favorite seasons are 02 and Xros Wars. But I agree Tamers is the best written Digimon series.

Frontier and Data Squad because they have the best villains and world building.

I think that fusing with digimon in the tamer’s show is the reason why in frontier humans fused with digimon spirits and transformed into digimon and in digimon data squad as well
