Wow, what an interesting twist on the Digimon universe. The previous seasons are revealed to be fictional within this new season and everything here takes place in the real world. It is darker and more emotional than the original.

Pokemon lost my interest this way.

For some reason, Anime shows seem to have an awesome, action packed 1st season, then an annoying moral based second season, and then a good 3rd season that finds a balance point.

This may be why they switched to Tamers, or just that they ran out of villans, or that they forgot (or purposely) to leave a cliff hanger/open end. To sum it all up, they ruined the entire idea behind digimon. Digimon, to my mind are either the roaming, and may be killing, wild digimon or ones that protect their human friends/partners. The partners are few in number (which they lost in the Digimon World Tour) and are selected to try and remove the evil that is in the digital world. In a perfect series, evil gets beaten up but never removed (just like it is in life).

Tamers goes back to these principles and, at least so far, sticks to them. With it, it losses the requirement for the restraint on violence thus decreasing the morale content, increasing the fighting scenes, and keeping the same hilarious jokes they had for the original series. It is a beautiful save (applause).

Hopefully, like Pokemon seems to be doing right now, it'll just get better.

Being a big fan of the first series of Digimon, and then the second, involving all new kids, I thought this show would be great. But I was very disapointed. The show as a whole is lacking. For starters the voices of some of the characters are not too convincing. The human characters are much harder to warm to, one being completely cold hearted, another is just plain dull and the third annoying, although the bad guy does have potential. The Digimon themselves seem wrong. They appear to be more closely related to the first set of Pokemon, or the monsters in Monster Rancher, they are far to humanoid in appearence or not strange enough. It is as if the artists could not be bothered to use their imagination any more after blowing a few cogs on the first two series. The plot is very repetetive and dull, the writers take far too long to explain anything in the story line, there are odds and ends just left floating.

I would suggest giving this show a try if you are a fan of Digimon or Pokemon and all the modern anime, but it is not at all impressive.

This third season of Digimon is my favorite so far. It expands the non-battle portion of the show, focusing instead on character development and interaction. To me this makes for much more interesting viewing than simply concentrating on fighting.

Tamers really explores the relationships between between the Tamers and their Digimon partners, and between the Digimon themselves. The Digimon are presented as actual characters with feelings and motivations of their own, instead of just one dimensional bodyguards and sidekicks.

The English dubbing seems pretty good in this one as well. Guilmon and Renamon in particular sound very close to their original Japanese voices.

This one follows some time after the wonderful season 2,although the plot is not connected.It,s about 3 new kids,each with different purposes with there Digimon,until they meet the true enemys,and it isn't Hypnos,although they are nosy.Very good action,good drama,and a good plot,definetly for Anime or Digimon fans.
