Summary:
Digimon video and card games are all the rage! Kids want their own Digimon, mostly in the form of low-cost plushies. However, a boy named Takato gets more than a toy, he finds a real Digimon! A whole new world of adventure and destruction opens up to him and his partner digimon: card swiping, eating bread, and winning the heart of a ponytailed girl.
Review:
The creator of Digimon is a genius. Others would have stopped at two seasons of a child-oriented show, but he felt the need to add another thrilling saga, thus we behold the beauty that is Digimon Tamers!
Music is one of the strong points of this show: the opening theme alone will blow you away! Listen in awe to the excellent Engrish of the very same person who sang the first season's theme, and you will crave for more.
The designs are also amazing: all the monsters are cute, cuddly and made just for children. Parents who hate Pokemon and its violent battles will surely let their kids watch Digimon Tamers. And the Chosen Children, the heroes of the show, have been designed exquisitely. Takato's get-up is certainly cool, what with the preppy goggles that is unique to him alone. The hairstyle that the character designer gave to Rika fits her personality, never mind that her head looks huge and her shadow appears to be a pineapple's.
Tamers' story is marvelous from every angle: A young boy, barely in his teens, finds a Digimon. The Digimon, though ferocious-looking, is conveniently child-like and friendly! Along with others who are 'chosen' like him, he defeats seemingly unbeatable foes. The cards that can help a Digimon by equipping and upgrading it are nothing compared to the power of love, friendship, and a strong yell.
Digimon Tamers has one minor flaw: its ending. It could have ended like the previous (and more awesome) season, wherein everyone lived happily ever after with their unnatural, freaky slave/friend/pets called Digimon.
All in all, I would rate this show a 99 out of 1000 for being child-friendly and violent at the same time.
