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

Well this is my first review so don't be harsh on me:P.
Thought i saw this ages ago so i don't remember it good.
Story: is nice but I didn't 't like it very much because the characters were too young.At start digimon is bit boring for me but it goes better later.Lot of relationships in there.
Art: well i can't say anything bad about the art, it was nice. Thought there surely are animes with better art and stuff. You got to see it yourself.
Sound: It was ok, thought themes were bad. Lets skip this.
Characters: characters are young children and monsters with who the children get friends to.
Enjoyment: well it was fine but it i think for people older than 10 it can be boring.
Overall: well it was OK, but it's up to you people that should you watch it or not. read more

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'.
Both have monsters that battle
though digimon has a superior story to pokemon in every way possible
A good deal of people recomend these two together because they are simular. That is where it ends, they are simular, but one should expect some majorly different senarios between the two. But the simularities... training monsters, traveling, growing up... are the things that might mean if one likes one, they might like the other.
You'll probably also like Digimon if you like Pokemon and the other way around, 'cause it's about monsters and people. Digimon has a better storyline though.

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.
