>>31983670The first digimon season was a great "monster of the week" with colofrul and varied designs, both human-wise and digimon-wise, a very upbeat tone and sparse emotional moments just strong enough to make children feel something, since the tamers and the digimons spent a very long time together.
The digi-world was great too, everything was both similar to the real world and grotesque at the same time.
DAT is a highschool anime with digimons sprinkled in.
Everyone has the same outfit, the world is, well, the real world, we've seen Japonese city centers a thousand times before.
The filler is more out of place than it has ever been (seriously, tho, one episode, the digi-tamers contemplate losing fond memories of losed ones by vurtue of a virtual death, the next is a fucking public bath episode), it's even more aggravating because of how short the serie is.
The end of arcs felt great to me but only for nostalgia purpose, I squealed a little everytime someone reached his mega form but they're short, predictable and feel like a carrot to make me endure the stick that are the rest of the episodes.
I really, really, really want to like it, but it's hard.
I don't watch the pokémon anime so i can't compare the two.
