Do want.

One of the Toei writers said that.

Yeah, it's been so long. My last year of (non-college) school starts next week. I can't believe how long it's been and how little I've changed.

Hard to be believe it'll be ten years this August when the anime first aired in America. Kind of makes me wish we had another season to make up for that abomination that was Savers/Data Squad.

I don't really care about the series like I used to, but it's still annoying that the only R1 DVD's lack original Japanese audio - just reflects how it was made back in the days where Japanese cultural references were eeeevil, and for Savers, when they haaaave to censor aaaannnyyttthhhhiiiiing that could be viewed as offensive (Citramon, anyone?).

And looking over the dub, and comparing it to the Japanese - honestly, back when it first came out, I didn't notice how horribly dubbed it was, and all the idiotic Americanization jokes that were put in.

*as said Digimon dies* "Oh, so this is the heroes Crowning Moment of Awesome! I'll just edit that in and- oh, right, impending death" *boom*

On villains- I always saw it that 01 was just full of opportunistic warlorRAB. It seemed every time the kiRAB finally won- SUPRISE! There's someone even worse waiting. It seemed silly to me after the big deal they made over Myotismon though at least 'They took the initative whilst he was away' made sense.

It was on a Disney controlled channel aimed at kiRAB. Having a giant borab show up at a amusement park just may consider "too soon".

(although, I do recall some old Disney cartoons in which the villians did threaten people with borabs. Double Standard?)


Horribly dubbed? Except for the first 7 episodes, the Dub of Digimon was fine. Ok, so they added jokes, but considering Saban's history, it comes off as to no surprise.

And even those bad jokes turned out to be so bad it's good.

Oh Come on, Savers wasn`t that bad.

Usually, digimon has great charachter development(what the series is known for), but not THAT much in savers, but I'd like to think the plot makes up for some of that. It introduced a lot of concepts that we've always wanted to see in digimon, such as evil tamers, and a truly evil human villain.

I don`t think any series will ever be able to match 01's herculean feat of giving eight main charachters complete and fulfilling charachter arcs in 54 episodes though.

Is there a reason TV Tropes is so very hated here? (Or at least by HC?)
