Dude, why did you stop at 31? That's where they up the already high ante in the series!
Skip the DLC season though (post episode 54)
Ok, ok. It's on CrunchyRoll, isn't it?
Boss Doggie

Yep.
Thanks!

Ah, so it's finally coming, eh...
Hope the dub manages to bring the hot blood (though it'll be a momentous task).

Yeah I liked those and the 3rd.
I watched a couple episodes recently and the dialogue is pretty funny. Enjoyable but for different reasons than when I was a kid.

Started watching Adventure and Tamers again, comparing and contrasting. Such really great series. For shows that were labeled as Pokemon knockoffs, the characters really do grow a lot as series continues.
Man, that Devimon and initial real world arc before Devas show up were really something.

I agree. Liked One, Two, and to a lesser extent Three. I watched the beginnings pf season 4 and 5 and hated them. Never went back. They didn't have any digimon flair to them.

There's no such thing as "Digimon flair" since they're all Digimon!

Thanks for that. Really helpful....smartass.
The point was that they didn't seems to have anything in common with the first series other than the title.

You imply that the "first series" is Digimon.
I'm being a smart ass because that response is your atypical "Gen 1 Pokemon are better because they look like Pokemon!"

Frontier has a lot in common with adventure. You have a bunch of random kids getting sucked into the digital world and stuck there tasked to save it. They dont have any clue what theyre doing and theyre not the best team at the start. The lack of digimon partners was probably the big problem with it though as you dont have anyone but the kids to bounce off each other.
Savers has a lot in common with tamers. Starts in the real world, main cast is a three man group, group in the shadows trying to deal with the appearance of digimon in the real world, kids head for the digital world part way through the series to deal with big bad and retrieve someone, etc.

But then if you look at it, only Xros Wars (especially Xros Wars), Savers and maybe Tamers to some extent have mons that actually are worth being called a character. Frontier essentially trimmed the fat. The main problem really is post Seraphimon a.k.a. the Takuya and Kouji show.

I dont know, while the Adventure and 02 digimon werent deep, I still appreciate them and they had defined personalities.
I dont understand what happened in frontier. Everyone should have gotten fusion evolution.
EmperorGreymon, MagnaGararumon and Susanoomon should have only showed up with the last ten episodes.

One dimensional personalities I guess.
And to be fair, it's not like it didn't happen in older shows (e.g. anyone not Tai and Matt, Davis and Ken, and Takato and Henry (yes, Ruki was pretty useless compared to the two)). I guess it's just more apparent in Frontier.

It happened but it wasnt as bad because the other kids didnt lose their ability to fight in the process of giving the lead and his copilot the go ahead. They still did stuff and helped out, stalled and sometimes managed to beat the bad guy. And Rika wasnt useless, she became the defensive spellcaster. Natural progression for her and Renamon going from the duo who only wanted to fight, to someone wanting to protect.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Then again female characters being relegated to defensive positions isn't really that surprising in Digimon.
Given it'll likely air on Vortexx (Saban Brand's Saturday morning block on The CW) there's no way anything that can be seen as fanservice is making it through the visual edits phase.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Didn't Rosemon in Savers and catfight in Adventure got in?
Savers was edited by Toei USA to the restrictions of a cable channel (Disney XD). Xros Wars is getting edited by Saban for the restrictions of a broadcast network. The CW (the broadcast network in question) is seemingly a lot more harsh than even Fox (the broadcast network that aired Adventure through Tamers in the US) were. They used to demand 4Kids to edit TMNT 2K3 episodes even though they aired on Fox with no problems.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Yikes.
Welp, good bye, mervamon and lilithmon
Welp, good bye, mervamon and lilithmon
I tried to watch Xros Wars a while ago, but didn't like it for some reason and stopped. (this was only like episode 3, haha)
So, after putting it off for so long, I decided to give it a try again. Currently into the Death Generals saga, and I really like it. It's different, and that's what makes it so good.

There is another world beyond our own. A digital world where powerful creatures known as "Digimon" battle for supremacy. But the fate of the Digital World is at risk by evil forces, and the Digimon need our help. A young, human boy named Mikey is transported into the digital world along with his two best friends. The kids meet a feisty Digimon called Shoutmon and his formidable but quirky Digimon companions. Brave Shoutmon longs to be the benevolent "King of the Monsters", and ask for the kids' help to achieve his goal. Compassionate Mikey immediately agrees to help, setting up an epic adventure and engaging in extraordinary duels like none you've ever seen before. Now, the fate of the digital world lies in the hands of the extraordinary human boy.

Yeah but...!
dub trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0Ws0U2VQ0
I...am going to have to pass on the dub.
You do not like auto-tune opening?
I want to say more but my brain is already screaming not to even acknowledge this. I am just going to put this down and back away. Slowly.
SMT
this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Unbelievable, the characters are smaller than the size of my legs.
Wait I saw Tagiru and Arresterdramon in that preview, does that mean they are dubbing Young Hunters too? I guess Young Hunters is technically a part of Xros Wars right? If that's the case then I guess it makes sense. I just always kind of separated Xros Wars and Young Hunters in my head for some reason.
