The orginal japanese version of Digimon was a very cool show.
unforutanately, when saban entertainment dubbed it in english, they decided they had to change ALL of the musical score, change all the characters names to make them american-like, and completely re-write the script to include extreamly lame diolog. the only things that are the same in the 2 versions is the animation and some sound effects.....OTHER THAN THAT ITS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOW
simply put, THE ENGLISH DUB SUCKS.
try and find the original japanese version. if u cant speak japanese, try to find a subtitled version (trust me, its better than this POS.).
COMPANIES LIKE SABAN, 4KIDS, DIC AND NELVANA SHOULD BE BANNED FROM LICENSING ANIME CAUSE THEY ALWAYS BUTCHURE IT!! enough said.
 NOT a Pokemon rip off December 15, 2005

Digimon has a deeper story line. Pokemon tends to be more nonthing-bad-can-ever-happen-to-the-hero making it boring and really stupid. Digimon is NONTHING like that! The characters actually have some human flaws (unlike pokemon characters) making them more real and more fun to watch. This is one of the best t.v. shows ever!
Best Digimon Season! October 29, 2005

I used to watch digimon many years ago. It was an awesome show, and a decent merchindise to back it up. At my school, people would always claim that Digimon was a Pokemon Rip-off. Thats not true at all.
Digimon has a more deeper story line. There are several themes on conflict not only between the forces of good and bad, but internal conflicts. All the episodes were linked together and progressed smoothly (unlike Pokemon where they had the same plot every episode was similar).
If you are a fan of Digimon, but haven't seen Season 1 yet, I strongly reccomend you to buy this DVD. Season 1 is by far the greatest season of Digimon. It's very dramatic (for a cartoon) and action packed.
One of the Most underrated Animes September 25, 2005

Many people often lable Digimon as a simple Pokemon clone when in fact it is much deeper. The characters (digi-destined) deal with real issues that normal adolescents face daily, all the while trying to save 2 worlds. This dvd introduces the series as it contains the first 7 episodes. I give this dvd 5 stars for the content alone (the quality of the dvd itself is superb). I guarantee once you put aside the "kiddie" fascade prejudice, you'll realize that this series is a jem.
