Between Adventure and Tamers, the latter takes it by a smidge. Tamers had such a great story and character development. I also like how it handles the topic of depression, among a few others.

 

Favorite digidestined/tamer/protagonist between Mimi and Marcus, I'd go with the former. Great character development, especially how Tri follows up with it in part 2. (You go girl! Tell your classmates to firetruck off!) Also she's cute.

It´s been a long time since I last saw any Digimon anime (outside of the current Tri OVAs), just for nostalgia and memory I would say Adventure 01 is my favourite, although I think Tamers is the better show in the franchise.

Frontier is by far my favorite Digimon season! Its actually one of my favorite animes in general. I also feel like one of the very few that hate Tamers; goodness I loathe that season!

 

As for favorite Digidestined, its actually from Frontier (tie between Kouichi and Takuya), but since its the original ones, I went with Daisuke, cause everyone seems to hate him, and I do like him.

Probably Adventure. I really like Tamers too. Too early to judge Adventure tri, but I like what I've seen from the first two films.

 

Digimon unfortunately has far more terrible seasons than good ones. Adventure 02 and everything that followed Tamers wasn't particularly good imo.

Adventure. I like a lot of Tamers general world and plot, but the characters of Adventure make it for me.

I'll go easy on this one.

 

My favorite season is Adventure 02! The idea of Armor-digivolution was the first digivolution I was familiar with, then I watched all the way through seasons 1 and 2 to discover all the different forms of the digivolution process. Digivolve, Armor Digivolve, DNA Digivolve, and so on. Not everyone felt this way, but I actually had lots of feels while watching 02, mostly because of Ken's backstory. (Never forget. )

 

My favorite DigiDestined, at least top 3, are as follows:

 

Davis (02)

Marcus (Data Squad)

Taiki (Fusion)

 

Haters gonna hate!

 

 

Rock on!

Tamers and Tai for the win!

So what was problem with Tamers? Just curious, nothing personal.

[Power Jusho 1,783]

Frontier and Adventure 02 are my favorite series and my favorite characters are Marcus, Takuya, Koji, and Davis

[khsg 73]

The first adventure and the first digidestined were definitely the best. The story actually had a very deep meaning, the characters were more interesting and generally the whole plot just made be so emotional!!!

No problem.  Honestly, I just find the main characters to be so boring (except for Rika, who I think is a... well let's just say massive jerk) that I don't care what they're doing, or what's going on.  Because of that, I find this season to be really forgettable.  I know its not a good reason or explaination, but that's just how I feel about Tamers.

My favorite Digimon series of all time is Digimon Tamers. While my favorite DigiDestined is Tai!!!

1.) Tamers

2.) Adventure 01

3.) Adventure Tri.

4.) Frontier

5.) Fusion

6.) Adventure 02

7.) Data Squad

1 & 2

I voted Tamers but I'm actually torn between that and Adventure 1. Sora is the best

I've only seen Adventure and 02 (I'm watching Tamers, but slowly), and honestly, it's very hard for me to pick one over the other. :S

But I quess, in the end I prefer Adventure. It was just better overall. All the characters (except maybe for Hikari) were well-developped and relatable in their own way. Also, I really liked how realistically it showed us each character's strenghts, flaws and insecurities. IMO Adventure is fantastic in portraying children in a realistic way. I feel like most shows either make them seem really really helpless and ignorant or just small adults.

I also love, LOVE how diverse the cast is in Adventure, and how each of them is treated with respect. I especially love the part where Koushiro's parents said that there's nothing wrong with being interested in computers (since usually hobbies like that aren't treated with much respect, especially when you're kid).

 

But my favorite DigiDestined is Ken. He has hands down the best character arc in the entire series (I mean Adventure and 02), and he's the main reason why I love 02 so much. I can't really explain why I love Ken as much as I do (although I think I wrote a tumblr post about it once upon a time...), but I relate to him strongly.

Honestly though, I love them all a lot. Especially Yamato, Sora and Jou. And Takeru. And, well, everyone.

Very elaborate opinion, very well-thought out. Though "except maybe for Kari"? What do you mean by that? Just curious.

Just that I felt the focus was never on her the same way it was on the other children. I mean, for the most part she just was there, and things weren't told from her perspective at all I feel. Well, she kinda got character developement when she fell sick in the Digital World, but even then the focus was mainly on Taichi and how he dealt with it. It's probably because she joined so late, so she never really got as much screen time as the others, or entire episodes dedicated just for her.

I think it becomes most clear when she's compared to Takeru. They're the same age, but we see Takeru going through a lot more character developement than Hikari. We see him being a crybaby, but learning to be more brave, and dealing with his fear of being abandonded (also, I really liked how Yamato and Takeru's relationship was handled, it really brought more depth to both of them). But we mostly see one side of Hikari; she's brave and noble, and always puts others before herself, although she's a bit fragile (which are all great traits, btw). To me she just comes across a bit one-dimensional.

I mean, Hikari is not a bad character at all, and I definitely don't hate her. Actually she was my favorite when I was kid, alongside with Takeru, and I still love her a lot. ^^ But I think she was handled much better in 02.

And yeah, this is just my opinion, it's fine to disagree since I'm pretty sure I there's a lot of things I haven't noticed.

It's alright, at least you're being honest. Personally, I wanted to see more of that Dark Ocean and its story, if it had any.
