Well, being as there are nothing but pro digimon tamer reviews, I figure an alternate view point is in order.

First off, I like the original digimon. It was simple, but fun. Lot's of cool creatures, fun characters, cool battles. It delivered what it offered. I also hated the 2nd series, (notably more then tamers), i found it boring, repetitive, stale, no form of character development outside 1, and set ups for multiple things that were never explored, just an over all disappointment.

Now, on to the topic at hand, Digimon Tamers. I've read nothing but reviews stating how amazing the plot was, so I'll start ... there. The plot was, stupid. Basically my main issue with this anime is, it tried to be something it's not. Anyone even suggesting this is in any way similar to evangelion should have their head examined. Basically, some of the names of things used seem remotely similar to some in eva... that's about the extent to the similarities. Evangelion was something called, a good anime. It had a well constructed plot and dealt with deep psychological and philosophical issues. I'm sorry but I don’t consider anything these character went through, deep. The only one who really develops at all is Ruki, and she does it so suddenly that you wonder how the heck she could ever have acted like she did to begin with. Basically, digimon tamers pretends it's evangelion, when in fact, its digimon. The original digimon was good, because it was simple, it didn't try to be more then it was. What happens when you try to pretend your something that your not, is not only does it add a pool of uselessness to the show, but it degrades what made it good in the first place.

Digimon Tamers reminds me of a spork. Basically, a fork that wants to pretend its a spoon. Lets look at a spoon for a moment. Spoons are very useful inventions, they allow us to scoop and hold liquids for consumption. Now let me ask you, have you ever tried eating soup with a spork? Let's just put it this way... IT DOESN'T WORK. It's like trying to eat soup with a spoon, that has 2 massive holes in it!!!!. I know, now your saying, "Ok, so the spork doesn't make a good spoon, so what? It's still cool!". No, no it isn't. See, in changing the shape of what was once a great utensil for stabbing/holding food, it now has an awkward shape that greatly hinders its ability to do even that! So lets sum this up. A fork is better then a spork, a spoon is also better then a spork. Tell me again, why we have sporks?

Digimon Tamers, is a spork.

That is all.
