Digimon Tamers Is Actually Deeper Than I Remember 

Also to note. Jerry didn't just forgive beelzemon after she made peace with Leomon's passing. She didn't forgive him and he accepted he wasn't forgiven even though he wanted to apologize for what he had done. His remorse wasn't for Jerry to forgive him, it was remorse for the sake of remorse. Even in adult shows they don't typically cover that just because you overcome a wrong done to you doesn't mean you forgave the person who wronged you.

I loved how much this season was a meta commentary on the monster taming genre. Taking the premise of a kid dreaming to have a pet monster and then having things go wrong, and testing the basic premise itself with trials and tribulations. Ironically despite the "careful what you wish for" sub theme, this season made me wish for a Digimon more than anything else.

There's a reason why some people call Digimon Tamers "Baby's first Neon Genesis Evangelion."

Digimon Tamers is my favorite anime tbh. One thing I'd like to add is that I always thought of the relationship between the tamer and their mon to be kind of like that between a parent and a child. It makes sense considering Digimon is a spin-off of Tamagotchi, a monster *raising* simulator, and you can still feel the Tamagotchi DNA in the Digimon franchise. The way that Takato was teaching Guilmon always reminded me of my own mom. Or Ruki always wanting Renamon to be the best reminded me of my dad. And then their anxieties about their digimon evolving, like a parent worrying about their child growing up. At least that's what I saw, although I'm not a parent myself.

Tamers is definitely my favorite season.

Definitely my favorite season. I remember way back so many people hated Jeri. Which only grew more when she didn't take Beelzemon's hand when they went to rescue her by themselves. I didn't though, we as the audience know just how much Impmon had changed prior to that moment. But Jeri doesn't & it also doesn't hurt that she's literally being used a battery for grief & despair. So when impmon uses the very move her partner uses to break open the barrier, it's only natural for her to remember leomons death again.

Maan, I love watching Tamers reviews. My favorite season from my favorite franchise. I remember waking up super early every day before school so I could record every episode on old recordable vhs tapes. Excellent video! Definitely can relate

best digimon season and one of my fave animes

Tamers also first Digimon season that actively give kids Superpowers in even canon

I'm a huge fan of Digimon but the one thing that's pretty similar to Pokémon is the main protagonist Ash and some of his traveling companions treat their Pokemon like best friends/family and not just for battling as well.

I’ve been in the same boat recently, haven’t watched Tamers since the Jetix days but I decided to watch the Japanese version this time around and it’s like watching it for the first time all over again.

I just recently bought Terriermon/ Lopmon deck😅😅 so those rabbits are from this newer Digimon series 😂 This rabbit thing is definitely hilarious, runs around with a gun and turns into a Mecha Armor But his baby form is just this stuffed plushie 🤣👏

One thing in Digimon is that I always think of the two worlds. The Digital World and the Human World, I can't really say the Real World because to Digimon living in the Digital World, their Digital World is THEIR Real World. It's like in Pokemon when Gen 1 Ash says a real animal like a Cow. (This is the Pokemon world, what's a Cow????)

Best digimon series ever.

“I like background noise when doing other things” I’m actually using this video as background noise.

First season still the best by a mile, this one lacked a good villan and epic battles, the story is amazing though and go into deep stuff for sure. 1 and 3 season are the best for sure

This was the best one out of all of them. Hands down

I definitely agree. It's just wow, the best animated season so far for the franchise.

Adventure 01 is the best ever by far but Tamers had a unique style and treated depression and computer data to another level.

I do quite like your philosophical take on biomerging setting this series apart from other monster training shows, the idea of the two sharing a bond so strong they literally become one. Although, my pragmatic take still also sees it as just a convenient way to avoid cutting away from the monster fighting action to show the kids awkwardly standing around on the sidelines, or getting caught up dodging stray attacks as the destructive magnitude of the battles escalate. Doubly so when the next series would ditch the idea of partners entirely and just have the kids be their own Digimon thought transformations.

The 90s Spider-Man animated series was my introduction to the emotion/ feeling of depression. Specifically the episode that ended on a cliffhanger with not-Mary Jane turning into a puddle of water and Peter screams into the sky

I was on the fence about season 3 at first, given how much it changed up from the Adventure continuity. But I was hooked by episode 5.

Way better than adventure

Greatest Digimon series

I love this show great video

My favorite

favorite season

I remember hating this season as a kid. Not sure why, given the rave reviews it's gotten over the years. I wonder if my perspective would change as an adult.

What I appreciate about Tamers now as an adult is the kids working not only together with their partner digimon but also the adults. The 'no adults in sight' trope is old and boring to me.

Anyone else disappointed with ghost game compared to this? The real life consequences of tamers felt so good to me. In ghost game all these things happen but they don't have any lasting consequences. No governmental power comes to investigate all this stuff. For some reason the addition of those like in tamers is very intriguing to me. In ghost game there's hardly ever any collateral damage. They just swap over to a parallel dimension. That's so lame. I was excited when I heard it would be horror. Thought it meant it would be older people show. We need more digimon shows that deal with deeper heavier stuff. Anyone else feel that way about such aspects?

Bro you got me a little mad. Digimon Tamers did establish the brant as Pokemons Cousin? If anything Digimon prooved that it has much more substance than Pokemon in regards of their animes.

Digimon Adventures 1 & 2 and Tamers were amazing but received a lot of flack at the time due to its similarity to Pokémon which had launched around the same time. Anyone who would watch both of these series would quickly realize that the two series, while sharing a somewhat similar premise from a far view, were actually very very different from each other. In my opinion while Pokémon is fun, Digimon has always been far superior at storytelling and while we don't get many games, all have been decent or better. Considering most of the Digimon games are vastly different from each other and are still good states something, Meanwhile 90% of Pokémon games share the same exact structure.
