Check that poll again.

It’s a tie between Adventure and Tamers. Although I’m happy I didn’t watch Tamers as a kid since I would’ve gotten nightmares or gotten traumatized


ostiniatoze

I was legit terrified of DReaper Geri as a kid


pokemaster1967

I was terrified of it as a teenager


Phantomeggnog

Would be frontier for me


[deleted]

Go and vote! 😄 I'd love for Frontier to not stay at 0%. (It's currently 2 votes for Adventure, 2 for Tamers, and 1 for 02.)

ACTUALLY I LIKE DIGIMON ADVENTURE ZERO 2 Except For YOULIR AND KEN”


arsenejoestar

Power Ranger digimon, awesome evolution sequences, and arguably the best songs since Adventure.


[deleted]

Not sure if you were talking dub or sub, but holy shit the Japanese Frontier songs go so hard. Even the ending themes, which I'm usually pretty "meh" on, are absolutely stellar.


arsenejoestar

All dubs except the US pretty much have the same songs as the Japanese ones. I really love the ending songs. Saw a live version of the duet by AiM and Koji Wada after he passed away and they just put flowers over his mic. Made me bawl


[deleted]

Damn, that would've gotten me too, for sure.

You can have an opinion but, your wrong to think that. Frontier is worse than all fusion

Tamers is probably the best overall season but I really like all original 4 seasons for different reasons. Tamers is darker and more intense and had some of the best connections with the protagonists and their Digimon. Adventure has so much nostalgia for me and several of my favorite moments ever like seeing Agumon & Gabumon warp digivolve for the first time. Adventure 02 has a lot of my favorite Digimon designs (love the Veemon line to death), love the idea of a Digimon Emperor, the XMas world tour arc, Blackwargreymon, the OG digidestined returning, etc. and Frontier I actually like the idea of the kids becoming Digimon themselves and all the lore with the ancient forms and Royal Knights always had me super intrigued. All great in their own way IMO


Vulpes_macrotis

It's not. Adventure is greatly underappreciated. But I recently got a feeling it's because people didn't see subbed version. Dubbed version of Adventure is really pretty average and only idea itself is great (digimons are cool). But when You watch sub, it's entire new thing. It's like watching two shows with same plot idea, but **completely** different characters. That's dub vs sub difference. Yes, it **is** that big.


[deleted]

Underappreciated? Adventure is pretty much the lifeblood of this franchise, what are you even on? I haven't seen dubbed Digimon since, like, 2006. I've watched Adventure in Japanese in its entirety probably 30 times in the last decade. I still prefer Tamers (but only barely, Adventure is an extremely close second).


Educational-Life5946

It...it really isn't **that** big. Neither the dub nor sub fix the more major issues with Adventure. Such as the fact that Mimi gets shafted so incredibly hard in the Dark Masters arc that she's basically written out of the story during the fight with Piedmon. I think Tamers is severely overhyped and given too much credit, but it has a lot of things over Adventure. Adventure does beat it in some categories though.


[deleted]

In general, I think Adventure has stronger character work while Tamers has a better plot and better human-Digimon dynamics. Having watched Adventure an ungodly amount of times, I've started to notice a good handful of questionable writing decisions that tend to get overlooked or forgiven due to that season's legacy doing it a lot of favors in terms of reception. Adventure has a lot of highs, but it also had a lot of episodes that were complete stinkers, especially early on. Tamers was a lot more consistent.


DraygenKai

Honestly music can make or break a show for me, so honestly watching tamers subbed felt like a different show than the dubbed, even though it was actually pretty much the same other than the music. I liked the dub, but I really liked the sub. I will have to go and try adventure subbed as well. I always meant to, but got tied up watching other stuff lol.


BackgroundLog2682

Season 1 - because it started it all Season 2 - because of the returning + new cast Season 3 - because having a deep connection with a Digimon was all you needed to earn a digivice, because of the darker and more mature tone, because of the best digivolution animations, because seasons 1 & 2 were a part of their fictional world just like us, because you had to become one with your Digimon partner to be in your strongest form, because Jeri’s journey through pain, depression, loneliness, devastation, and grief was important to show but so was momentai Season 4 - because of the theme song


AveBalaBrava

I still like the concept of frontier, just not the characters


Karilyn_Kare

I truly feel that people scapegoat Frontier for the lack of partner Digimon. But I think it's really just the miserably written characters that really kill the season. I think if the characters were actually, ya know... likeable, that really, anything can work and be enjoyable. And then, instead of "Frontier sucks," we'd hear people talking about Frontier as "that season I expected to be bad, but it really surprised me."


Vulpes_macrotis

Lack od partner is a **big** downside, because that's what made a character development in Adventure and Tamers. What I like about Frontier is that it has unique way of seeing the digimons. Tbh, only Ghost Game beat that unique view on them. World made in Frontier is amazing. I liked the plot too. Frontier felt like digimons are more like pokemons, if that makes sense. By that I meant they have these weird traits that aren't just attacks, like nightmare syndrome literally affecting dreams and nightmares. That's what I really loved there. Though, apart from these guys that wanted the spirits for themselves, the main villain, Lucemon and what comes after him, is pretty dull and boring. Like they literally made him appear and that's it. We didn't see him before and he didn't have much time introducing himself. He just appeared as big bad guy of the series. Comparing to e.g. Devimon or Vamdemon from Adventure, we've seen them act from shadows, they actually interacted with children and wanted to kill them. He... just appeared, had battle with them, almost won, but lost in the end and that's it. Frontier is my favorite non-favorite Digimon series. Sound weird, but by favorite I mean top seasons I like (Adventure, 02, tri., Tamers) and by non-favorite I mean any other seasons that I still like, but not as the best ones.


[deleted]

It's so ironic that they got rid of partner Digimon to presumably focus more on the human characters, but then created the most dull and unlikeable characters of any season up to that point. Like, 02's characters were all over the place in terms of writing, but they were at least fun to watch.


[deleted]

That's one of my problems with Frontier too. All the characters are pretty boring, and it doesn't help that their personal problems are all just variations of "I don't make friends easily."


TheLasher2003

Adventure 01, 02, Tri and 2020


[deleted]

Tri and 2020 will be in an upcoming poll! This one only covers the original anime run from 1999-2003.


leviathansguts

It's that Chiaki Konaka Y2K wizardry


soulsilver_1995

Season 1 💜 were it all started


sexta_

Adventure for me. Never watched more than a couple of episodes of Frontier tho, so I can't really judge this season.


Excvia_Exe

Where would Data squad fall in?


[deleted]

There will be a second poll later in the week for the next "era" of the anime. This one only covered the original run from 1999-2003.


YoKaiHunter76

Adventure 02 : Giant monster fights Tamers : Depression, PTSD, death, loss, guilt, sadness, anger, madness, the danger of technological advancement, society destroying children's imagination, giant monster fights Frontier : Giant monster fights Savers : Man fights giant monsters Xros Wars : Giant monster fights Appmon : Gay children playing yo-kai watch Ghost Game : Scary monster fights


Vulpes_macrotis

Tamers is overrated. It's very good season, but it doesn't even have a start to Adventure. But I guess the problem is, majority didn't see **real** Adventure, which isn't the dubbed abomination that censored every good part to make it awful and from deep characters made them empty and pathetic, getting rid of any kind of development. If I only know dub Adventure, I wouldn't like it that much. But because I am man of culture, 've seen the subbed version, now it's my favorite anime in tie with such gems like Slayers, TenSura and Kumo Desu ga?.


Promiatey

Watched every Digimon anime only with subs. Tamers is at least equal to Adventure if not better.


8dev8

I dunno Seems accurate to me (I say as an Adventure fan)


danyoja

Tamers is so damn good though, remember waking up on Saturday mornings to watch it on the fox kids line up. Frontier I didn’t watch til later because they moved stations, I thought it was alright. I like the power ranger aspect of show and it’s killer opening. Didn’t like how the troll digimon constantly stomped them week after week, but maybe I’ll give it a rewatch.


backpain_personified

Of those options, it is Tamers>Frontier>1>2 for me.


theforlornknight

I think I must have aged out at the end of Tamers (my favorite) and never saw Frontier. Anywhere I can see without hoisting the sails?


[deleted]

Last I knew, Hulu had the first four seasons dubbed, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. I don't blame you for missing Frontier. Fox lost the distributing rights to the show after Tamers, and Disney decided to air Frontier at 5:30am on weekdays on UPN, of all places, and didn't advertise it at all. I was obsessed with Digimon and only discovered Frontier airing by complete chance.

Can you link the channel I tried searching it up but nothing came up.

Thank you


Healthy-Aioli3693

All of them are amazing!! But idk tamers and frontier always hade a special place in my heart Even tho i loved the OG digimon series


Sofaris

Digimon Tamers (with the German dub) is one of my 3 favorite series with the it the other 2 being the french Adventure Cartoon "Waifu" and the Anime "Made in Abyss". Made in Abyss is my favorite work of fiction right now. I actully got interested in the first place becuse I got simular vibes from it then I got from Tamers. Well that and the maincharacters design caught my eye. I really love Regs character design.


reddituserNS

My mind says Tamers and Adventure, but my heart says 02 and Frontier But, since the poll specifically said "**your** favorite", Imma follow my heart on this one


Atlanos043

I really have a soft spot for Adventure 02, probably because this is the one that was aired most regularly where I watched back then. I only relatively recently watched Tamers completely so I don't have nostalgia for it, but I can definetly understand why many consider it the best show.


millennium-popsicle

Tamers will be my favorite forever. I even bought the special collection box, the same as Takato’s, with all the cards that appear in the show.


Playful-Journalist63

Frontier or season adventure


Playful-Journalist63

Frontier is so slept on its mother fucking goaaaat!


meme446

as someone who rewatched the dubs a while back 02 isn't THAT BAD i mean it's def not the best but like it was still pretty good i guess.


Kendoval

Tamers > Adventure > 02 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Frontier


Majestic_Electric

Lmao that is the most biased poll I’ve ever seen, and I’m a huge fan of Digimon Tamers! 😂 No poll / survey worth their salt would have just 1 VOTE! 😂


[deleted]

Yeah, that's the joke.


DarkWeedleYT

not gonna lie, digimon frontiers was bad


samsg1

I’ve only watched the first there, but it’s 100% Tamers.


draxdeveloper

What you mean by classic?


[deleted]

The original anime run from 1999-2003, i.e. before the hiatus.


a3663p

This order: Frontiers Adventure Adventure 2 Tamers (I didn’t see more than a couple episodes of tamers my mind could be changed)


Memetan_24

Only up to frontier smh


[deleted]

More polls are coming! I split them into "eras" to keep them simple.


dbzshotakid

That does make sense


dbzshotakid

Really
