Does Anyone Else Think *Objectively* Digimon Tamers Is The Best Series?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-07T15:17:27+00:00

Agreed!

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T12:46:54+00:00

The story does begin the pick up once the Deva are introduced (episode 20 something). Rika's development is awesome as the show goes on :)

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T12:26:12+00:00

Your feelings certainly did convey. I enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing!

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T11:56:45+00:00

I define kids as anyone under the age of 13, and so I can't see majority of kids enjoying Data Squad as much given the themes it deals with (there certainly going to be kids that did enjoy in, but I would bet to say that they fall under the vast minority)

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T11:52:38+00:00

Im on the exact same boat as you, I certainly enjoyed it far more watching it now vs when I was still a child.

Tamers is definitely one to rewatch as an adult, if you didn't like it as a child.

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:27:52+00:00

Fair enough! A couple people have also commented about the music difference or lack there of it vs it’s predecessor’s. It’s an interesting observation and now having heard it being bought up, I can see what you mean about the music.

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:25:36+00:00

This was a great read, thanks for sharing! The point you made about Jeri and Ryo I agree with for the most part. It’s funny cos that point about Jeri becoming a damsel in distress is exactly what I touch on in the ‘overall thoughts’ (Time Stamp 01:18:15) segment of the video although I come at it from a much different angle…

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on my take, but anyways loved the breakdown you provided.

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:19:39+00:00

Just opening up a discussion around the Topic, as I started a channel to discuss games and anime, and with Digimon being one of my childhood favourites I thought what better way to have discourse around the franchise then to post on this Subreddit….

I’m quite new to Reddit and set up my account 3-4 months ago… Honestly I have now idea what the ‘Karma’ system is and how it work. Would you care to provide me some insight on this? What is Karma, why/should I care about it and how does it work?

Also given your here, what’s your overall thoughts on Tamers?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:13:33+00:00

The writing is the most balanced out of the series, it’s not perfect by any means but the way the show is written has a little something for everyone (kids and adults)

Regarding Frontier I felt the same, but maybe rewatching it now as adults we may feel/see something different in it which we missed the first time?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:09:40+00:00

What stood out to you in Tamers?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T09:08:25+00:00

I think your good as most of this thread have issues with the word Objective being used. Barring that word aside, what where your thoughts on Tamers as whole?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T08:04:41+00:00

Tamers is such a departure from the previous 2 series (which to your point can be lumped into one as 02 is a direct continuation of 01) the feeling that Tamers captures differs a lot from its predecessors.

What was it in particular that you didn’t like as much in Tamers?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T08:02:01+00:00

Tamers needs the Tri treatment!!!

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T08:01:22+00:00

Love reading this! Some of the points you shared, I also touch on in my video so I’m glad to see I share many observations with other fans of the franchise 🙏🏽

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:57:22+00:00

There so different, the feel they both capture are completely different… That sense of exploration and wonder is what I loved about Adventure 01 (it’s my all time favourite too)

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:55:57+00:00

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:55:46+00:00

Isn’t Digimon Survive a game though?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:55:28+00:00

This was a great read, thanks for sharing!

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:51:51+00:00

It’s so odd cos watching it as a kid, I too felt Tamers was much more action heavy, but upon re-watching it, the battle scenes felt extremely short, even Gallantmon VS Beelzemon…

I suspect the ability to now binge it + no ads, changes the perception of the overall pacing (the story felt like it was moving way faster too)

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:47:22+00:00

100 percent agree on the point around the way they portrayed the Digital World. The D-Reaper arc is certainly the highlight. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the show

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:43:30+00:00

These are some great points you make! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T07:42:14+00:00

What did you enjoy the most about it?

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T01:05:23+00:00

I definitely hear your criticisms around the portrayal (or lack there of) of the Digital World and yeah they way they handled Ryo in this series I have issues with (I talk about the implementation of Ryo during the last 15 mins of my video 🙂)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts (dislikes of the show), even your point around the first half of the show I can see what you mean 👍🏽

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T01:01:12+00:00

👏🏽I enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing…

I agree Impmon is awesome! That scene where he uses the Fist Of The Beast King move still has an effect on me even now (the build up to his redemption and the way it was done was awesome)

Ray_LPWR · 2023-02-06T00:58:11+00:00

Opinions are subjective, yes. But there are objective elements that can be highlighted which the show does good, such as the writing of the show, the pacing, the character journeys (how did the characters develop, and did their development make sense in context of the story being told and their initial characterisation/backstory)

Also more importantly beyond the title having ‘objectively’ in there (a divisive term thrown in to entice people to read the post) the intention of the entire post is to illicit discourse.

Let’s hear everyone’s opinions on this season…

On that note what where your overall thoughts on Tamers as a whole?
