Story: The storyline of Adventure evolves (no pun intended) into something wonderful as the series goes on, however, the beginning is very shaky, and, for some audiences, a weak beginning is an automatic turn-off. It starts off very episodic, and, aside from the fact that the kids want to get home and have to fight a guy called Devimon, there is not much else for plot. However, after they get home, the series jumps into one of my favorite anime story arch of all times: The Eight Child arch. That part (which largely takes up the middle of the series) was masterfully done, and if the beginning wasn't so average, I would have surely given this anime a 9 or a 10 because of its splendid center content, which is like a bipolar carnival ride of smiles and tears.
Art: For a show in the 90's, Adventure had very good art, and, even today, I prefer its style over that of many newer animes (Digimon ones included.) It is a hybrid of a toony style and a realistic one, giving the show a somewhat recognizable flare. Also, they have some amazing creature designs. True, there are some insanely cute Digimon (especially the babies) but, for the most part, the monsters actually look like what they are: Monsters! Adventure also uses a pleasant blend of CGI and traditional animation. Thankfully, they keep it low on the CGI (possibly due to the technology of the time) so it never looks stupid or overdone.
Sound: What can I say, I love the soundtrack for both the English and Japanese versions. The dub and sub have catchy tunes throughout, however, in both versions there is nothing outstanding in the area of music. It’s mostly just songs that’ll get stuck in your head, but there are no memorable pieces destined to give you chills.
Character: As someone who writes, I know that, the more characters you have, the harder it often is to develop them all. Adventure never seems to have this problem. The characters are all fleshed-out wonderfully, and are very relatable. Though they are young and clearly wise beyond their years, they are not so wise as to raise too many eyebrows, for they still make childish mistakes, and, despite their maturity, still act like kids. All of them have their own back stories and issues with their own images; at times the things they say are surprisingly deep, and I often found myself laughing and crying along with them.
Enjoyment: It's not too often I can come back ten years later, watch a show, and enjoy it more than I did a decade ago, so Adventure deserves a ten in this department. When the creators said they wanted to make it a show that anyone of any age could enjoy, they were not kidding.
Overall: Very good. Though it is definitely not perfect, due to a fun plot and great characters, it's still worth watching if you've never seen it, and rewatching if you have. read more

Story:
This anime basically starts off with seven children (well, teenagers) spending time at a summer camp. Suddenly, mysterious devices come rocketing out from the sky towards them(from who knows where). The seven children take the mysterious devices unknowingly activating a "portal" to another dimension called "the digital world." In this world lies strange creatures called Digimon. These seven kids will travel together in order to realize their importance in this strange digital world and their futures that await them.
Art:
Actually, In my opinion the animation is quite good for an anime of it's time. The animations of attacks(etc) was well put together an animated.
Also, the Digimon where surprisingly animated well too.
Sound:
In my opinion, the opening song was quite well done(In the english version, got no clue of the Japanese version). Also, the numerous songs that appear in the background in certain episodes is also quite nice aswell.
The sound effects from attacks and the environments is quite reasonable also.
Character:
The children in this anime were quite well put together, in terms of personality and in terms of speech. The Digimon characters were also well developed in terms of appearance, and in terms of personality as well.
Enjoyment:
Honestly, this was one of the first anime's I grew up with when I was a kid so there's no doubt why I thought it was pretty good. Also, I liked a variety of the various Digimon they encounter so it was pretty interesting.
Overall:
Overall, I would have to say this anime was pretty well done. The various characters excited me aswell as the suspense of the fighting scenes. I truely thought this was one of my favourite anime's of all time so for me it's an instant classic like others of it's time eg.(Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Bey-blade, Sailor moon) I would recomend this anime to anyone who likes action/adventure stories. Also, In conclusion, I think anyone would love the various kinds of characters and digimon in this anime that they would just have to choose a favourite among them. read more

its similar in a lot of ways i don't feel like explaining
i don't like either anime actually
they both have to do with well digital Anime's though bakugan is more like a mix of Poke'mon and Yugio it is similar Digimon
well if you liked anny of those anime's you'll like this ~.~
They're practically the same show. You battle in another dimension and your monsters shout out the names of their attacks while you battle.

The main characters both have small monsters as partners, who can evolve into bigger, more powerful monsters. In both series, these monsters are used to battle each other and serve as bodyguards for their "owners." Pokemon was always the most popular of the 2 series, but Digimon is definitely not to be underestimated and by many even rated better than Pokemon.
Digimon and Pokemon focus on the friendships and interactions between young kids and their monster companions. Although Digimon has a more developed storyline as opposed to Pokemon's simple 'become the greatest trainer' plotline, they both will provide good entertainment, especially for the younger audiences. Also, both series end in '-mon'.
