I'm saving all my hopes to hope this will be a good season.
Some may think so (I think I remember someone else in here not liking Tamers), but I just find it to be one of the best seasons. *shrug*
Here's a short list of why I feel that way:
- All of the main Digimon have character arcs and a distinct personality.
- Characters aren't stereotypes (Takato subverts hot-headed leader, Ruki isn't "the girl", etc).
- The way Digimon are handled is more "realistic". (Some might not like that, but I found it refreshing.)
- Like Adventure, family is important to the story, which I always like.
- It is the most morally grey season, pulling off the stuff 02 tried to do.
- It is the only season (that I know of) where Digimon die permanently, raising the stakes a bit.
- The way the writers incorporated the card game is probably one of the better forms of product placement I've seen in a kid's show.
- It has Guilmon, Terriermon, and Renamon.
I could come up with more, but I think you get the idea.
