Digimon The TV Series
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.

This is how you do TV on DVD.
With television shows like Pokemon offering 3 episodes for $24.98, and Shows like X-Files, Star Trek and so on offering typically less for $17.98, it is refreshing to see that Saban is properly distributing its programs on DVD as they should be distributed: Inexpensively and abundantly. It is unherd of even in anime circles to procure 13 episodes at this price of any series.

As if that wasn't enough, the series is generally very enjoyable, dispite Saban's best attempt to "jazz it up" with cruddy american title music. It remains true to its anime heritage with good animation, action-packed story lines and enjoyable, deep charcters.

Also, its not Pokemon, nor is it a rip off of Pokemon. Pokemon is a low-speed, viturally actionless show with good moral content (just look at how many seasons Ash and Misty have been falling in love). Pokemon definetly has very childish feel to it. Digimon, on the other hand is chock-full of action, emotion, and could be enjoyed by just about anyone.

Let's just hope that this trend will continue. I would love to see season two at this price. I would even pay more for it, but if Saban gives up, there may be no more Digimon DVDs, never mind ones that are an awesome value.

Only time will tell.
