I was a fan of Digimon when it use to air here in America, but then it got canceled and Frontier can be found on ABC Family. But anyway I been watching Frontier(season 4) in original japanese with english subtitles and it's pretty sweet.(From what I hear disney butcher the show, I don't know) The character aren't 2-dimensional or flat, the monsters are pretty sweet, and the fights are cool to watch. And I like the mythos that accompanies the show. Any other digimon fans out there?

Canceled? It wasn't canceled, Frontier just ended about mid 2004 from what I understand.

I also like Digimon. The characters are indeed not flat, which is pretty groovy. There is one thing I cannot stand, though. The fans seem to find some deep meaning to the show, which I've just never understood... it's always just been a fun show to me, without any deep meaning to it.

season 1 was my favorite. Season 2 was good too just not as good....went downhill after that.

i dunno about downhill for me...i though Season 3 was pretty good. I never saw much of Season 4 because they took it away from Saturdays and put it on weekdays..it had a Three thirty time slot which is when i get out of school..it was over by the time i got home.

I'm on episode 16 of Season 4, I have the complete series original japanese audio and subtitled in english it kicks a ton of ass but it's really different from seasons 1 and 2. From what I understand Seasons 1 and 2 is it own time line, Season 3 is another alternate timeline and Season 4 is an alternate time line.

The only episodes that I actually liked about the show was when this evil clown like digimon appeared.I'm not sure what his name was though

I liked how the bunny one from Season three, the one with gatling gun arms would toss his bandolier around his back and it would whip around and click in place in front of his chest. That was hot. :o

I was 9 when digimon came out. i was pretty hardcore fan. Season 1 was good. SEason 3 was cool with the card stuff and the real world. Very original. I didnt see much of SEason 4, but it was pretty interesting.

Monster Rancher was pretty cool, I love the kids with monsters shows :( Anyway apparently Digimon came out before Pokemon in Japan, just that Pokemon was brought to america first :o

every episode of pokemon is the same

Ash makes new friends

Battles and defeats team rocket

tahts why i loved digimon so much...in depth plot...classic good vs evil...complex characters. it was everything a show should have been

I like all three shows. I wish Monster Rancher was still airing here in America that was a pretty sweet show, the action was pretty decent and the animation was different. I liked all of the characters. Now Digimon I first got hooked on it when it was season one, I loved every season except season four. Of course Toon Disney repeats that season like heck for some reason, same goes for ABC Family.

I believe that mon is short for monsters.

The first two seasons were ok, but the fourth especially sucked.

You'd think that that little yellow furball would have advanced in some way by now, considering he's won almost everybattel.

They sucked supreme ass:o

Pokemon came out in 95 and Digimon came out in 97

Yeah, the games were cool. At least they had better plots.
And Digimon technically did come out before Pokemon. Digimon started off as the tamagotchi virtual pets that were orignally aimed for boys because of the fact that you could link them up and battle. Afterwards Pokemon came to America as a show (I forget where it came from) and then Digimon followed up as comic called "C'Mon Digimon" (which didn't do too well) so it was remade into a comic called "V-Tamer" (which kicked ass's ass!). Later it was made a show.
Unlike Pokemon, Digimon changes up every season and every eppy. It's ALWAYS an arc in EVERY season. Everyone thinks its a copy off of Pokemon because of the name and the fact that they have monsters. Are Pokemon digital creatures from a digital world/universe?
Digimon always seems to surprise you somehow. It just gets better and better (except for 04. I thought that had a good plot and everything, but with the loss of digimon partners and bad dailogue, it just basically sucked ass's ass).
Digimon X Evolution is the best (but can't top 01 and 03 though it was just a movie)!!!!

This is my order for which ones I like more:
Digimon Adventures (01)
Digimon: Tamers (03)
Digimon Zero Two (02)
Digimon: Frontier (04)

I just wish there would be a 05, though.

I remember it was on in the mornings last year. So every morning I'd wake up and watch Digimon. I saw all of Seasons 1-3. Season 1 twice, and most of Season 2 twice.

I'm sorry but I can no proof that Digimon predated 95, the toys came out 96
