I am four episodes into Tamers right now (I burned through the Konaka episodes then got sidetracked), I've been trying to get these Big O walkthroughs done, and it's eating up a lot of my time (I'm going through frame by frame, which is pretty tedious). I usually post on MAL in my downtime at work, so I have more time to screw around online than to actually watch anime a lot of the time. Anyway, I think it's a cool show so far, it really surprises me to see how much better this is than the Pokemon stuff. For some reason I assumed it was a rip off franchise, but I'm impressed so far. I'm going to try and get caught up to the next Konaka episodes this weekend.
Also, I'm glad you're liking The Big O, that really is one of the more underrated series out there. I'm trying to get those walkthroughs done, but this show is just so complex in terms of the symbolism and easter eggs that you could spend a year on it. I ended up skipping over a lot of the movie references in the walkthrough for now, I figured it was better to go back and fill those out once I've at least explained the show.
I enjoyed Digimon Tamers, when I got back into Anime 2 years ago, I rewatched all of pokemon and Digimon to the 3rd season, didn't enjoy it past that though.
I've never fully watched NGE, about 4 episodes until I decided to watch some other things but I plan to restart it since it's what I done to One Piece in the beginning, and that changed my whole view on anime.
Yoruichi is my favourite character out of bleach, she just has the whole package of humor, comedy and ecchi, haha.
Neon Genesis Evangelion - Digimon Tamers recommendation
It might be hard at first to find common aspects between those two animes, but if you analyze it thoroughly, you can notice that they are very similar in certain manner. Konaka did the work on Tamers so well that he managed to hide attributes from EVA masterfully and make the show following the same Digimon style as it predecesorrs. However, knowing Konaka, this show has more complex character development, characters dealing with their own problems and questions about life meaning in both psychological and physiological way. Now about similarities between EVA and Tamers.
Several characters in Tamers are based on characters in Evangelion. Same battle style in both series. The main heroes fighting baddies, whilst the battleground is surrounded by military forces. Relationship between pilots and evas is similar to relationship between tamers and their digimons. Hypnos (organization in Tamers) is equal to SEELE at the beginning, Monster Makers is comparable to NERV. Similar uniform, headquarter, team work. Group of people working on computers and thus participate. WarGrowlmon have those two pylons on their shoulders, It's jaw armor resembles of EVA 01's mouth and Wargrowlmon have that pointless wire behind his back.
Honestly I didn't find much similarity between Angels and D-Reaper agents. There are angels intended for different combats and operations as well as the D-Reaper agents. The only similarity i could find is that there are agents of similar material and structure as some angels and the appearance of ADR-02 that possibly takes that eye sign from Sahaquiel.
One of the most notable comparisons in fanbases is the Rei/Lilith fusion and evolving of the Mother D-Reaper with Juri inside her. Mother D-Reaper with Juri scenario closely followed the elements of Rei and Lilith.
It's excessively to say that Tamers is Evangelion with Mons. They share some similarities but in fact Tamers is far from being an Evangelion clone.
Evangelion is more science fiction and adventure packed with humour. Tamers was supposed to be a show for "kids" but it turned to be more Lovecraftian which is surprisingly good in my opinion.
Tamers has been my favourite anime for years and the fact that it is inspired by Evangelion got me into Evangelion even more. They are both very good animes.
It's very detailed and well thought out and if someone does read it they will see the similarities, although it's still a big recommendation, a lot of them are just 3-4 similarities between two anime but yours is by far the best and most in detail one I've ever seen.
Hello! thank you very much. I have honestly been wanting to check out monster for a long time now. Since theres no new anime that look appealing this season. i might have to check it out now. lol
