Digimon Vol. 1 VHS

I got this for my little brother to ease him off pokemon,didn't work..Digimon may be as close a series you can get to pokemon,but it dosen't compare.The story is deeper,but the characters are drawn in a more 'kiddish' manner.If I were to see a 5 minute clip of each show without prior knowlage of any,I'd say Digimon is better then Pokemon,but after watching over 15 episodes of each,Digimon fails in comparasion,the voice acting isn't as good and the fact that you have 12 main characters(6 kids and their digimon)doesn't help character development. After all that,Digimon isn't a bad show.It's just a second choice when it comes to Kids series.

(1)Digimon is awesome before you even think about any of what I think your going to no, I haven't bought it but I've seen the entire 1st season by first season I mean every episode up until the 2nd season starts ( I've seen alot of 2nd & 4th season episodes too and liked them hated the 3rd season )I love the first season of Pokemon as well ( By first season of Pokemon I mean all episodes up until Johto) before you get any thoughts like "oh she likes pokemon that's dorky" let me tell you that anything past the "1st season" of pokemon I mostly dislike (Johto Wasn't bad but wasn't good either)(2)anyway for the rude amazon reporter who said digimon was a rip-off of pokemon let me make one thing clear digimon came BEFORE pokemon and pokemon came AFTER digimon therefore pokemon would techniclly be the rip-off since it came after. anyway I'll leave one last thought and comment ( I will also be rating the characters and listing their crests + maybe some extra info(3) any bad review for the "first seasons" of these shows I will consider unjust and somebody had the nerve to call patamon "Pikachu on drugs/crack" patamon VERY VERY vaguely resembles pikachu the only alike thing is that patamon has a yelow color on the top part of its body and while I simply ADORE pikachu does it have those exeptionally cute eyes? and I don't believe I've seen it evolve into an angel (Angemon) either......(4)last remarks (rating etc.):Taichi "Ty or Tai" Kamiya 9.5 Yamato "Matt" Ishida 10.0 Sora Takenouchi 9.25 Hikari "Kari" Kamiya 9.10 Koushiro (alternately Kohshiroh) "Izzy" Izumi 8.99 Mimi Tachikawa 8.87 Takeru "T.K." Takaishi 9.68 and lastly Joe Kido 8.34(5)now.... in the same order that I rated them their crests will be listed (I'll stil tell who owns each along with the crest though to prevent confusion)(6)Courage:Ty Friendship:Matt Love:Sora Light:Kari Knowledge/Wisdom:Izzy Sincerity/Purity:Mimi Hope:T.K. Reliability/Faith:Joe(7)Xtra Info: (F1K) Kari's full name, Hikari means "light" in Japanese additionally she is the holder of the crest of light,(F2S)Sora means "Sky"(F3TM)T.K. and Matt are full brothers even though they have different last names their parents divorced (Their mother with T.K. their father with Matt) while their mother stayed single their father remarried changing Matt's last name to Ishida Though not T.K. (since his mother is divorced it dosen't effect him)(F4T)Ty named Taichi after what else, Taichi! also in the japanese version of the show both Kari and Ty have the last name " Yagami" instead of "Kamiya"(F5J)Joe had 2 Brothers in the japanese version of the show in the U.S. he has 1, Jim(F6I)Izzy has a computer with a Pineapple symbol on it this would be a joke refering to Apple computers(F7M)While Mimi's crest is called the crest of sincerity it can also be translated as the crest of purity (listed above)Or the crest of empathythanks for Viewing and I hope this helped you out if you were buying or you learned something if you were just lookin' at guides and knew about digimon!Note:(8)if you are wondering about what the what the ()'s next to each fact means (for example F6I) then let me explain: "F" stands for the word "fact" the number refers to what number the fact is (in this case the fact # is 6) the Letter stands for first letter of the person or people (in the case of Fact or "F" 3TM since that is shared among T.K. & Matt) of whom the fact is about in this case the fact is about Izzy so the letter is "I"therefore, the fact is considered F6I

I must say at first i hated Digimon but when the series went longer into the story i started to like it. It is a very good show and i think it is way better then pokemon. This show is for more grown up kids while pokemon is for little babies.

...I like this movie--I'm glad that someone had the sense to put the episodes into a film. The voices are slightly different than they are later in the season, (probably because the voice actors are just getting used to their parts) but that doesn't change the overall effectivness of the video.The characters are fun, the Digimon are interesting, and the Digiworld and Digivices are intriguing. The common prefix 'Digi' may seem tiresome at first, but you'll grow to get used to it. (I think...)All in all, I think that this is a decent example of anime and a good beginning to the Digimon show.

Better than pokemon!Yeah right for one thing Pokemon has more creativity because unlike digimon all the names of the pokemon do not end in "mon".Although it does has some good humor and such it's still a palid attempt to pokemon.And yes pokemon did came 1st it was 1st introduced in the 70's as a comic book in japan.Even though it's certainly not the worst in anime it's far from the best.And don't expect this show to have a feature flick anytime soon.
