Digimon

Honestly? Writing wise, Digimon was a much better show than Pokemon.

Of course, most people does not notice that because they are only familiar with the atrocious english dub which was filled with bad jokes and censorship. The great music of the series was replaced with some godawful trashy "rap" songs that feel totally out of place.

I am so glad the dub in my country keep the original songs and music, and also keep almost the same dialogue of the original series.

Watch the original 1999 anime, avoid the english dub.

This series was the best! I loved it more than Pokemon and more than its follow-ups - not that they were bad, but nothing could compare to this. I loved the characters, the Digimon, the battles and the stories.

Not sure why Pokemon was seen as superior. This show had a new story in every episode and there was a conclusion season after season. Unlike Pokemon who does the somethings in every episode season after season.

The theme song is a treasure. Voice acting was iconic The digivolving visually and audibly was a great experience.

Digimon Adventure really is a great show. One of my favorites as a kid, I now revisit it as an adult and it definitely stands the test of time!

The show does an excellent job of character development, character designs, action scenes, and adding the element of real world consequences. Each of the kids deal with their own insecurities, which they learn to overcome in order to help themselves and their friends, typically helped out by their individual Digimon partners. The Digimon all have really cool designs. The actions sequences, while nothing spectacular are interesting and fun to watch, especially as the Digimon evolutions grow further. By adding real world consequences, the show helps us feel the danger and intensity of what's happening, making it much more exciting.

Not without its flaws of course. Early on, the first 10 episodes get a bit repetitive. At times, the show can be dull and immature, which is to be expected of a kids show.

Overall, a great ride that makes you feel like a kid again!

I grew up in Portugal so i got a dubbed Japanese version, although now has an adult i think the Portuguese dubs are kind of cringy specially in this season, nowadays i watch it in Japanese with English subtitles. This anime is haunting it's emotional you can relate to the characters, feels like you are there with them going trough everything they are going. When i watched the american version most of the serie's soul was gone so i couldn't even watch it anymore. This IMDB page is for the normal Jap version i noticed even has the original voice cast so i give it a 10, the American version got a 4 from me.
