Summary: Digimon is great for anyone...
Review: Digimon is a great show, that I highly recommend for people of all ages (myself being a 19 year old in college). For it's genre, Digimon focuses on far deeper issues than any other series I've ever seen. From beginning to end the show offers realistic characters, great action, and a moving theme. The entire series has 104 episodes (so far... only two seasons have been released in America), and the beginning is a great place to start.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Does anyone read these titles?
Review: Digimon is a lot better than it looks.

Yes, this is a kids' action/adventure show. Yes, it features cute, extremely marketable creatures. Yes, the show can get repetitive after awhile.

It's also drop-dead seriously dramatic at times. This series deals with really tough issues, and without treating them as the Moral Of Today's Episode (as lampooned so wonderfully by the Animaniacs' "Wheel of Morality"). These are issues that aren't solved in one episode, and that cause the kids some serious emotional pain: divorce, the tough love of a single parent, the soul-balancing comfort of a good friend to talk to. If you or your child enjoys Digimon, they're watching an above-average show.

Technically, the DVD is pretty well designed. Artsy DVD menus frustrate me, so I was relieved to see that this DVD features a very straightforward menu system. You can access any episode, as well as a handful of "bloopers" cut together from the show (I laughed out loud at "Can we just call him Bob?"). The chapter stops are at the standard places: Opening theme song, beginning of episode, middle of episode, and ending credits.

This disc also benefits from its raw size; thirteen full half-hour episodes on one disc. That's over four hours of content, all for a very low price, especially by anime standards (where discs are typically priced at USD $10 per episode).

I can't really think of a reason *not* to buy this disc, unless you're scared that you might actually find yourself enjoying a kid's show.

Summary: Get Digi wit it!
Review: Digimon is one of the best Japanese Anime out there! The development of characters is outstanding. The characters are believable and deep.The Digimon story has heart and has alot of symbolism and a meaning. It's very east to get caught up in the compelling story. The entire concept is outstanding!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Digimon is under rated
Review: Digimon is under appreciated and misundertood because it is often confused with Pokemon the low brow japanimation that is aimed toward young children. Though a lot of Digimon can be enjoyed by younger children the over all plot and underlying themes require some amount of neurons to understand and appreciate. Digimon is also by the creators of Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: For Digimon Fans
Review: Digimon Season 1 Total Digimon! is a good DVD. Digimon is a great Anime, for all thoughts that have not seen it. For all the Digimon fans wondering about what is on the DVD, here is the summary. It is EXACTLY what was on Fox Kids, with the bad breaks where the commercials would be. It is the first 13 episodes, in English only. It also has 8 Digibloopers. It is a good value, and a good thing for any Digimon fan to have. Just remember it is EXACTLY what Fox Kids showed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Digimon The TV Series
Review: Digimon was one of the most spectacular television shows to hit markets. It completed three series and is now on a fourth. However, unlike the Poke' Mon show, Digimon is not about capturing creatures and placing them into battle. Rather it's about a war between a computer generated Artifical Intelegence which takes the form of DIGIMON or those little Giga-Pets or Tamagachi. The true magic in Digimon is not the battles themselves, but the adventure leading the Digi-Destined(Children who posses the challenge to save the Digital World and their own world. It's heart warming and heartbreaking. In this volume it shows the first 13 episodes, but Digimon didn't heat up until Genai (the wise one). The children also have a task to become bigger and better people by fullfilling a purpose witten upon their tags and crests.(not in this volume) My only hope is that they complete the series onto DVD continuing with Etemon, Myotismon, Dark Masters, and the true worth of Digimon Apoclamon.
The theatrical release will seem like a mere show and tell of digimon when you compare it to the original TV series. I just can't wait until the Digimon 03 series release. That was the best season there ever was and ever will be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: digimon is prodigous
Review: do you want to see the best of all animie than get this movie . wheather you are 7 to 100 you will be rocked droped and shocked . most people think that because the name sounds so much like pokemon that they have to be the same show well just to let you know that you are far from the truth i saw this because pokemon is a cartoon for little kids with the focus of inslaveing animals in tiny balls for days and when they come out they are forced to fight untill thay are half way to death . bu as for digimon no animals are inslaved at all and if they are its because they were taken hostege and of course they are freed by fellow digimon .in the show digimon you see friend ship develop bettween digimon and there human partners you see that all people must be theamselfs and never think less or little about other people and yourself they show that friendship , hope , relibilty and other emotoinsare things we all carry.you get to see how a teen or child can grow up so much just by carry for herself and others . this dvd will make you laugh sing cry and pray for the fate of the world all in just 3 hours . so to conclued digimon is a very deep and complex show so buy this dvd

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: Finally they released digimon on DVD! This is a collection of the first 13 episodes on DVD. It also contains the Digi-Bloopers, which were shown only on TV. For me, it's perfect. Digimon's always been my guilty pleasure. The only problem I have with it is when I play it on my PS2, the colors go from dark to light to dark and keep doing that. I think that it's just the high compression that's doing it, but aside from that, it's great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A few common misconceptions
Review: First off, Digimon is not a pokemon clone. Digimon came before pokemon. Pokemon just made it to America first, because it would make more money (and it worked, did it not?). Also, Digimon is not a kids show. It was made to be one by the American censors, but the American vesion has been butchered pretty badly. Digimon, like most anime, is actually for older teens and adults. Digimon is actually suppose to be a symbolic piece, touching on the areas of the human mind and soul, the eternal inner struggle between good and evil, the evolution of the human heart, and the qualities most essential to human happiness. Being as america was not ready for a show of this calibur, animated or not, American dubbers made it into a children's show, so that they could atleast get some money off of the marketing. The American version is pretty good anyway, and it's really good for kids because it still has a bit of that deeper inspiration to it. But for anyone who is a real anime fan and wants to see what it's really about, I suggest you find the Japanese import, uncut with English subtitles. It is really inspirational.
