honestly, digimon was always terrible.
if feel you tho. some of the new simpsons episodes are painfully stupid,

You should realize that you were young when you first saw Digimon and at that time you see anime with different eyes. Now you have childhood memories which make you believe the original season was awesome while you see the sequels in a more realistic light.

Digimon has never been a very good anime. Maybe not the worst, but surely nothing special either. I liked it back then, but I certainly wouldn't watch it nowadays. Additionally, sequels rarely are good in the world of anime. If it wasn't part of the original story arc right from the start, chances are the sequel is forced because the first season was successful.

The whole concept of powerful friends helping out kids, especially boys, is as old as anime itself, anyways.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Digimon to me was a stomping ground for Pokemon fans. It was a complete joke.

I never got into Digimon. Pokemon was always superior for me. It had a better time slot (was on right when little kids got out of school in the afternoon) and so, though I thought Digimon was kind of cool, I only ever saw a few episodes of it compared to Pokemon, which I watched every day. Pokemon just had better marketing what with the anime, trading card game, and video games to work with. Why did they ever split up the original 3? Everyone loved them!

I don't even know if Digimon has cards to play with.

Lol at all these guys. Newsflash: All animes are pretty bad. It's a kids show. Enjoy the nostalgia or don't watch it, but don't pretend like you're sophisticated for watching Pokemon or Naruto or some such shit.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

Your thing about a man stuck in a fantasy land sounds like the end to season 2, but you said it is for season 1. Can you link to a video to that? I thought the end of season 1 was about the dark masters.

I loved Digimon and Pokemon equally growing up, but I liked the Digimon characters better. I also liked (at the time) that Digimon seemed to have an awesome overall story whereas Pokemon mostly involved episodic encounters.

I don't think anyone here is pretending they're sophisticated lol. And maybe you should actually watch some anime that aren't targeted at kids before generalizing that they're all bad.

Yes ma'am, mother from the last century. Every animation is made for kids and can't be for grown ups at all. Thanks for the lesson. Hollywood is where it's at.

Wait, didn't like the third one? That's usually the favourite, or at least it's a debate between 1st and 3rd.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

=.=, I fail to see how shingeki no kyojin(attack on titan) was made for kids...let alone numerous other animes like Basilisk or Black Butler.
Limited Edition, lets do some simple addition, $50 for a T-Shirt is just some ignorant bitch shit.

Anime is a medium. There is good stuff and bad stuff just like in any other medium.
Saying "all animes are pretty bad" is like saying "all hollywood movies are magnificent".

The first Digimon season is still awesome, even when you have grown up.

Sounds like a typical case of nostalgia goggles.

Oh and Digimon > Pokemon.

FML i only re watched this about 3 months ago, fuck me still got me Such a end of childhood moment right there haha.

Pokemon being rinsed = silly, the movies aren't "that" bad though
The Simpsons = I watched like all 350 episodes, then after that they got god awful

Digimon, i totally agree, that as a child was awesome, rewatch season 1 like every year as i have it on my HDD, it is the best series, i tried to watch that "data squad" stuff and got bored terribly quickly.

Yeah this? Last episode for me was Piedmon dieing to MagnaAngemon after TK finally became responsible or something after everyone else was made into a puppet? Or key chain thing i forget xD

After that, it seemed to have just been a "goodbye" episode after or something? Kids get sent back or wake up somewhere and Digimon are gone?
