Digimon, wow, this fine series has gone through a lot... it's been called a blatant copy of Pokemon, which it really isn't and has been through more bad times than any show I can think of.moreless

"Perfect"
First of, it is not a copy, both shows came out at the same time and yes, they do share a similar title but they both mean different things, yes, the shows are similar but out of the billion anime franchises that started around the mid 90s, pokemon and digimon are one of the few good ones, I see it as this: Pokemon has brilliant games, and a mediocre but affective series, Digimon has relatively good games, and the series are one in their own.
Series one:
It all started here and the first series, though cancelled at one point, sadly rather close to it's climax, was a very fun and great introduction to the franchise as a whole, premium children's entertainment.
Four stars.
Series two:
It's literally a good continuation of it's predecessor, and I'd say it is as good as the first series, but more skill was used, as it combated the fact that they needed to re-introduce the leveling platform, in order to keep new viewers, and it did it siccessfully.
Four stars.
Series three:
For me this, and series Five, are two of the best anime series I've viewed, it had brilliant character designs, great and fun action, great plot, and to someone so young, watching the end of this series was a real tear jerker, then again I was rather young! And don't worry folks, I won't spoil it, because I wouldn't forgive myself if I did!
Five stars.
Series Four:
This series wasn't as good as the others, but still effective and fun there were some clichecharacters, but I'd still say it's better than most shows of this genre.
Three stars:
Series Five:
I'd recommend watching the original Japanese version of this masterpiece, it was fantastically scripted, had a brilliant plot and for adults, surprisingly good, without a doubt the joint best series with Digimon Tamers (Series 3) a great series for kids and a great series for teens and adults alike, just please, don't get the watered down English version, it's messages are gone for what seems to be political reasons, and some of the script was taken out, which in my opinion is incrediblydisrespectful.
Five stars
There is one rather long series I have yet to review, I've watched an amount of Xros wars and enjoyed it, check my profile in the far future for a review once I have watched the series.moreless
