Digimon Savers, the fifth season of the anime (which came after 3 years with no new Digimon season), is a great addition to the franchise.
As often with Digimon, the first episodes are episodic so we can get to know this new setting and world. The tone is dark, rivaling Tamers, and the plot progression is great. It also feels like this season paid homage to Adventure (first Digimon season), since there's both an Agumon and a Piyomon as partners, with Lalamon's and Gaomon's lines clearly having been inspired by Palmon's and Gabumon's respectively. Evolution-wise, it's a return to form, because it's straightforward lines this time. Also Masaru and Touma have younger siblings, just like Taichi and Yamato. But I don't find this to be a weakness, because the story was totally different, and so…

This series is definitely targeted more toward older teens and adults. When I was younger, I really didn't care for it. I somewhat like it now, but the production relies on the same formulas and writing techniques found in literally all the series in this franchise. For example, the main lead is always the hotheaded, passionate character paired with a dinosaur-like Digimon, and the same is true for the other characters.
The intro and ending songs were fine, but not particularly memorable. I like Yoshino's voice actress; her voice is soothing and composed. On the other hand, Daimon was quite annoying with his overly masculine ideas. Then there are Tohma and Ituko; to be honest, I enjoyed the side characters more than the main character.
The evolution scenes were the best I've seen in all…

To understand where I'm coming from, I'm a huge Digimon fan. I have been since I was a kid watching them air on tv. I never watched Savers when I was younger so I came into this fresh.
Initially I absolutely hated this show. I watched the English dub and despite having some great VA's, they couldn't save some awful writing. I, like many people, found the intial arc to be horrible. Its really boring and doesn't get you to care about the universe or the characters. Many characters seem to be copies of other main characters from other series.
Over time it did get better though. I would never say I felt it was great though. By far the most redeeming factor for this entire show is Marcus. He seems dumber than any other main character we've had so far, but he actually punches the Digimon in the…

If you are looking for a beginner anime. I totally recommend this show, i know the ratings aren't that good but in my opinion it was my favorite childhood show.
Story : 10/10
Character development : 10/10
OVERALL : 10/10
I rly liked this show
and if you like Pokemon then its perfect for you.
PLZ WATCH There are only 48 episodes so it shouldnt take too long.
Take it from me, i have it watched it 5 times already. It is a good show. Loved the fights and character development.
It is definitely worth your time. If this review convinces anybody to watch it then good.
(it keeps saying i have to write a longer review so i am just going to spam )

It isn't my favorite digimon but it's not bad either, i'm giving it a 7 because it isn't as good as Tamers or Adventure 01 but it isn't that much inferior, i think it's pretty generic which i don't think it's bad since i'm not into cult stuff but i felt like nothing on this anime besides the last episode made me feel excited at all, the opening and ending are very good but i didn't like the evolution song Adventure 02 and Tamers have far better Evolution soundtracks, the villains are very good though a shame that they only appear later in the series

Well... I'm glad that's over.
This is my first "review" on MAL, and I will be blunt here. Take some of my thoughts with grain of salt, because the review is less organized, than I'd like it to be.
Before you leave, I won't bash Savers, because it "ruined my childhood anime". I went in hopeful for a change of setting.
There will be some spoilers.
Digimon Savers is the first full length Digimon series since Digimon Frontier in 2002-3. I've seen quite a few people praise it for "saving Digimon" and being more "mature", than it's predecessors. For starters, it has more aggression and main cast aging from mid teens to early twenties (with some variables), so it must be more mature. Right? Well.. no. It's not. I dare say it's even more childish than Frontier was.
But would that be a bad thin…

I remember when I was about eight or nine this used to be on Kix, and I absolutely loved it. And five or six years later, I look online to see the horrible reviews it's getting.
To be fair, I never watched the original Digimon, so I can't really say anything. But I do know that this show doesn't deserve all the criticism it gets.
From what I know, it's DRASTICALLY different from the previous Digimon series. Different art style, older-looking characters, and a completely different concept. From what I understand, the previous Digimon series were about children being sent to the digital world, and Savers/Data Squad is about a group of people who capture Digimon who are sent to the human world. Honestly, I see why fans of the original might not like this one at first glance. But if you get…

Here is my first review for an anime that I watch (I have been watching anime since I'm 10 years old, and now I'm 26 years old). Due to Digimon Savers "excellent animation and story" I have to write one as to warn people who love Digimon franchise.
Story : I have to agree that Digimon Savers has the most unique storytelling compare to other digimon franchise. Not only the main characters is someone who is old (compare to others, where most of the character is 10-13 years old) most of character is 14 years old and above. Not only that, they have their own squad, and the story doesn’t start from digital world (I don’t know if this considered as spoiler, but it is all there in Episode 1). But, background story and how they meet their digimon is not clearly told (except for daimon and yoshino…

This season is really underrated
Story (6)
This whole premise is about an organization known as DATS who capture wild digimon and take them to the Digital World. For the first third of the season starts out bland and just your typical "MOW" (Monster of the week) formula, by episode 13. You finally could take the show seriously the second third of season just focus on their exploration of the Digital World and we found out more on how Digimon is roaming into the human world and meet our antagonist of the show, Karata. He plans to whipe out all the Digimon with his man made Digimon known as Gizumon. The Gizumon comes from Digimon DNA except he doesn't have a heart. His plot were actually totally devious. Now the third half is where they jumped the shark. Honestly the King Drasil (mind you I…

After watching this series my second time I feel I need to write a short review about this season of Digimon.
Sound:
The soundtrack here is outstanding (if you ignore the opening and ending themes). Lots of stand out songs which have been burned into my memories, plenty to choose, all of which I enjoy.
Art:
I felt I needed to mention this since it is one of the weak parts of the show. I feel some of the attacks and actions could have looked even more epic, but a lot of it was either speeded up or just not given a finishing touch. I also noticed the eyes would randomly teleport before the head would move into the correct position. Despite the lazy art design I thoroughly enjoyed this show.
Story:
The story itself I feel is quite strong, I love that this anime pulled in a couple of…

You may like or dislike this series, but there's an undeniable fact: Digimon Savers actually saved the Digimon anime franchise, that's why we got the sixth series, Xross Wars. People who dislike (or even hate the series) are usually 2 types of people: 1) people who saw barely 3 or 4 episodes and abandoned it and 2) people who watched it from the beginning to finish annoyed by the fact that this series is way too different from the previous Digimon series. The first I can understand, as Savers doesn't have the strongest first arc (like every Digimon series), but the second one I don't: every single Digimon series is different and distinctive from each other, so what if this one is more mature and darker? I think that is one of the strengths of this series, because it aimed to those children…

This is my first time writing a review for MAL, and I actually wasn't going to write any, but after finishing watching this series, I definitely cannot resist the urge.
I scored this series 5, average. I would have given it a 4, but there are some things I actually somewhat enjoyed about Digimon Savers, so I thought calling it downright "bad" would be inappropriate. So instead I'm going to say: this series is not good. It's not the worst ever, but it's not good. This comes from a person who has loved the Digimon merchandise as a whole for almost ten years.
When Savers originally aired, I simply ignored it. I wasn't that high on Digimon hype back then and from the very first promo picture I could tell I didn't like the series. Only this year I finally decided to check it out, as I've see…

I absolutely loved this anime, and everything about it, I can't help but give everything a 10, for some though, if I could, I'd give more than a 10, as I'll have in my reasons below
This review is being given after watching the Japanese version of this anime
Story: 10/10
You could say that this anime starts out a little slow, with the meeting of the main character, Masaru, and Agumon (once more the main characters digimon) and the introduction of all the other characters that will later play a big part in the series. I had this anime on-hold at episode 14, and when I started it back up again, I became completely addicted to the series. Though I remember the beginning being slow (which is why I put it on-hold for such a long time), once I began watching it again I couldn't stop. I non-sto…
