Out of all the seasons of Digimon I had watched, Digimon Adventure 02 was the one I remembered the least. The most recently I had watched it was back when it had briefly aired on NickToons years ago, and only now have I finished watching it in Japanese for the first time thanks to Discotek putting out new blu-rays for it. But from what I can recall, Digimon fans consider Digimon Adventure 02 to be quite divisive, and opinions on it are pretty split down the middle. Some think it's a great follow-up to the first season while others think it to be the worst series ever. I'm of the opinion that while I don't think it's the worst Digimon season ever (Those titles go to Young Hunters and Adventure 2020 IMHO), I definitely feel it's one of the weaker seasons by far, and for good reason. I attemp…

Digimon Adventure 2002 or 02 is a sequel to Digimon Adventure 1999 and continues with a new generation of chosen children to protect the digital world from sudden disaster. The digital world is inhabited by digital monsters called Digimon. Unlike Pokemon, they have more than 3 stages: Infant (In Training), Baby (In Training II), Child (Rookie), Adult (Champion), Perfect (Ultimate) and Ultimate (Mega) with the first being the names of the Japanese dub and the latter in English.
This series introduces a new ways of evolution and one additional new stage that in this series can be considered somewhere between Child and Perfect called Armor. Basically it can't fit to the traditional Level system like the previous forms which can lead sometimes to weird things when it comes to power scaling Dig…

When I was a kid, I didn't get the chance to watch the whole first season because I discovered it late, so you can say that this part is the first I watched and I liked it a lot. I remember getting excited,enthousiastic; jumping and screaming like them when their digimon devolpe . this show was one of my best
i enjoyed every episode in both the first and second season but there were a LOOOT of bad moments and points
Well the most fortunate characters to have a good development were ken and dark wargreymon the others were ignored , i kinda understand why cause i though :just 50 episodes??? i dont think it will be enough to give every character more time screen
In addition, the number of main characters is reduced
This frustrated me because I know the Digimon serie has the potentiel
But t…

Probably no other title better represents the common belief “sequels are never as good as the originals” in anime more than Digimon Adventure 02: with respect to the first one, the second installment of the Digimon series is unfortunately a steep decline. Suffering from one of the worst reputations in the franchise, it is infamous for removing many of the elements that made its predecessor a hit, for having an erratic second half as a result of creative differences in the writing team, for ruining one of the fan-favorite ships, for ruining the appeal and respect of one of the fan-favorite digimons, and for a questionable epilogue that left many fans with a bad taste in their mouths. Being the original series one of my all time favorite shows, this one is naturally among one of my personal…

ENG: Digimon is an anime with great potential and deserved to have a second season. Well, not this specific. Comparing this sequence with the first anime is seen that the production team did not give a deserved attention, creating a lazy story! First of all, as a sequence, then all the events occurred in the first anime must be respected, correct? Well, some of them, but others do not, for example: part of Japan has seen the digidestined and the whole world has seen that digiworld exists, and no one cares to know about the digiworld and what can affect in the real world. Besides that, all the characters have a normal life after all the events of the first anime and no one in the world goes after them to seek clarification. Speaking of digidestined, the new ones are very basic, but they are…

The rating system on here is trying to tell me that by ranking something a 4, it means I think it's 'Bad' and that's not really the case, but I like 02 less than Adventure and, critically speaking, Adventure is only a 5, so... you do the math.
When it comes to the sound and the animation, 02 has pretty much the exact same flaws as its predecessor. Add to that that season two's characters weren't nearly as likable, and the story gets a bit sloppy after the halfway mark. That said, this is another crucial part of my childhood, and I did still really enjoy it.
Critically speaking, it doesn't hold up quite as well as the original, but it does still hold up.

(This review contains some negative thinks, if you wouldn't want to know, then don't read this)
Truth to be honest, I've never watched 02 before last May 2013, but I knew all of the character since I've ever seen all of them once.
Dare if I say that I give 5 to characters? Yes, I did.
Gosh! The characters were so so soooo bad! I even can't understand how could this show turn to be like that! From a very good quality, to be a bad one. Although I still can't understand how could Daisuke turn to be the leader meanwhile Takeru and Hikari were having more experience than him, and I can see that Toei tried to make Daisuke 'shine' among the rest. I can't and will never understand their reason.
The most annoying thing is of course, jogress. Again, I can't understand how could Daisuke and Ken's jo…

what can i say about digimon season 2.... um in the words of bill and ted, EXCELLENT! its one of the few time where the squeal was better than the original and let me tell you why. first you have a recurring cast of the old digidestined this allows the die hard fan to ease into the new group of kids. plus the experts can help out the rookies.
digimon season 2 did have its faults and i say it comes down to series length. digimon has this problem that they must go from rookie to mega in less than 40 episodes this rushes the story and also limits any appreciation for newly introduced forms. for instants my favorite digi-egg was the digi-egg of miracles but it olny got 2 episodes and a minor movie appearance.
but enough of the negative lets get into the positive! i love the new kari or hik…

I watched digimon adventure 02 when I was still a kid, I did enjoy it very much. After I grow up, and rewatching it, I can't believe that it had a bunch of flaws in it. Let's go into it...
Story: 5/10
Being connected with 1st adventure series, the story involves about digimon kaiser, who make rampage on digital world, torturing digimon becoming his servants. New chosen children had to stop him for what he did. The story of kaiser become connected with the next villain and more. My problem is, the story had a LOT of annoying plotholes, especially on the dark ocean episodes. It's cliche, didn't make sense at all. It tended to be darker but it failed, more like a useless filler. It was nice to see the connection between the old villain with the next one until the last villain, making it beco…

Compared to the first season, this second season of Digimon Adventures is a step down in quality quite heavily. With exception to Ken, the new characters lacked the depth and problems that the first season kids experienced. This is especially a problem with new kid Davis, who is portrayed as a hot-blooded act-before-thinking boy who doesn't get much fleshing out nor any problems that he must overcome thus making him feel quite shallow as a character compared to much of the main Digidestined. The sad part is that Davis is made the leader of this generation's Digidestined, for better or for worst. The older members of the first generation Digidestined are shafted to supporting roles whose their only roles in this series are to aid the current generation in explaining or advancing parts of th…

I.m so damn glad i´ve continued to watch the digimon serie´s on t.v after season 1 ended. The only minor complaint for me of season 2 was that some of the kids of se1 has been replaced, though i had no idea what the story was about this time, except that digimons wil be used alright. It really had a more darker, less kidfriendly tone the further the plot revealed itself , slight psychological mindfucks, digimon enslavement, what the real purpose was of the digiworld ect ect. for the animation and the music it stayed and kept the things that se1 had thanks to its popularity and ofc the dancemusicOP-ED. a lot of things came as sort of a suprise to me like any other kids that watched it back then, and talk of the day. it was certainly one of the best enjoyable t.v shows i had seen in a while…

A while ago I made a review on Digimon Adventure, explaining why I found it to be one of the best kids shows out there, one that had smartly developed plot and characters, great soundtrack, good animation, and overall superb enjoyment not just for kids, but for young adults as well. I also said that a 7.78 score was way too low for a series that achieved something as great as developing each character propperly, have the characters arc influence in the main story arcs and present mature themes to little children without being too dark for them. And so the expectations for Adventure 02 were far too high; I wish I could say as well that the score (currently 7.34) is also low, that the series is the great sequel Adventure so much deserved. Sadly, it is not, 7.34 is the score this sequel deser…

Digimon Adventures 2, the sequel to my favorite anime series Digimon adventures 1. Before watching this, I knew it could never be as good as the original one. I was right, and I decided to write a review hoping to benefit you all.
Story: Well, the series is four years after Adventures 1, and three new digidestined are introduced. I was excited to see the previous eight children at the beginning, but the series seemed to revolve around the new digidestined. It would have been great if Adventures 2 was all about the grown up digidestined ready for another mission to save the world. However, even though these new characters werent as good as the previous, the series still had potential. unlike adventures 1, which has 5 sections with different enemies, this series is mainly split into two: th…

This series is one of the first few animes i ever watched so i decided to watch it again.
The story was good with some rememberal story arc's but alot of episodes with a short and sometimes stupid way of ending the arc.
The art was good with some great character designs, backgrounds and some great 3-d effects near the end that could be used more.
For the sound, The theme song is to me one of the most memorable oppenings in anime (for the english oppening).
the characters are memerable with some great storylines (which sadly only last an episode or 2)
I enjoyed the series but not as much as i did many years ago. i guess i lost my love for animals with weapons of mass distruction.
Overall the seriies is good but like nearly every anime there are some problems. the characters can have a gre…

STORY: 9/10
Digimon Adventures 02 contiues 3 years after Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Mimi, Jyou, Koshiro, Takeru, and Hikari travelled to the digital world for the very first time. The series starts with 3 new chosen children, Daisuke, Yolei, and Iori, who get a new digivice model which was sent flying from the computer after Taichi touches the digimental with the crest of courage on it. These new digivices allow the new children to not only open the gate to the digital world anytime they please, but they also allow for a new type of digivolution, the armor digivolve. But these three are not the only ones who get new digivices, but also Takeru and Hikari from the first season. The chosen children team up in the first half of the series to fight against the evil Digimon Emperor, whose not only a…

Well, there back but not the main characters. At least, only two of the main characters from the old show are actually main characters in this one. Unfortunately, they have the same problems from before as well.
TK, although grown up a little too much, acts young a lot and Kari again is little miss Jesus with how perfect she is. Really, she seems to do nothing wrong with how caring she was. The other characters pretty much ether don’t grow, don’t change, or something around that until they hit a certain point and by then, I had lost interest in them. I think part of this was because that they seemed to be made to be the embodiment of two characters from the older show.
Davis is supposed to be Tai and Matt, Cody is Izzy and Joe, and Yolei is supposed to be Mimi and Sora. The only charac…

I've watched both Adventure and Adventure 02 back when I was a kid (I believe both were the English versions). Less than a week ago, I've started re-watching. All 104 episodes. Here are my findings, hope you find them helpful:
Characters:
No matter how you look at it - you'll compare it to the first season. Where the first season had 8 original characters, all with an amazing background, unique in every way, this series simply does not have the same amount of effort put into it. Daisuke is even bolder than Taichi was, to the extent of you wanting to smack him in the face. Big time. The same with Veemon. He's like Daisuke, and thus, annoying as hell. Didn't grow to either one of them.
As for Miyako - wow. She's even more annoying. She's that one girl that nobody really hates, but has no r…

I'll just say it right now, I was a pokemon fan when I was young. I wasn't that big of a digimon fan. I though the people always looked weird with there big hands on there small arms. And I always liked how the monsters looked in pokemon rather then digimon.
But this season wasn't THAT bad. It's definitely is better then season two of pokemon. Pretty much because they seemed to really try and put some effert into character development. I enjoyed the digimon monsters and there masters way more then I did in the first season. And I kinda liked the out come of it, especiually since I had been watching it from day one on saturday mornings, so it was almost kinda sad to see it done. The story is takes place three years after the first season, the first digimon masters are done and have passed…
