Digimon Tamers: Digital Monsters Season 3

A great disc set for a great anime!For some reason these do not play on my many years old USB Blu-ray Reader/Writer (which also supports DVD) but I am able to happily watch these discs on a classic VHS/DVD player combo. Computer disc readers are sometimes picky when trying to handle authored DVDs manufactured much newer than it's own firmware though, in my experience.Anyway, I watched Tamers when I was in my early-mid teens, it had quite an impact on me and I took it greatly to heart. Two decades later I still look back on it very fondly, and I'm pleased I haven't recollected Tamers with rose tinted specs.I did forgot how 'heavy' this anime can get, there are some scenes which unfold in the digital world which, in my opinion, may warrant parental guidance (though maybe I'm just a softy). They lean into loss, hatred, guilt, and terror. They aren't light themes, and they aren't exactly glossed over. I almost get a light-weight Evangelion vibe, in that the children (Tamers) have their own various familial or psychological challenges which follow them throughout, or occasionally arise as new ones to overcome. There is a sense of realism and continuity to their emotional states, and their states of mind, aspects which the writers of the show do not just introduce and then promptly throw away again with the same episode (aka, poor writing) - leaving them magically healed back to a blank slate again. Instead, the characters inhabit a persistent, 'believable' world.Further to the above, I love the fact it is a continuous string of connecting episodes, which is unlike shows such as Pokémon, which has a great many filler episodes under a much larger story canopy (e.g. Ash aims to become a Jhoto league winner, takes dozens of fluff episodes to get to the league itself, or whatever). To be honest, I'm as far as episode 36ish and wish there was a bit of filler to actually enjoy the characters being themselves a bit, because there's surprising substance to relate to them as characters and it sucks they are just permanently stuck fighting and struggling all the time. The carefree days of the early episodes soon feel far away, as the Tamers are forced to grow and rise to the collosal challenges.Anyway, I love this Anime. I think it stands the test of time, and I would unironically recommend it.

Great dvd been added to my collection it’s the English dub so glad that’s the one that got sent

This product arrived perfectly package. This was given as a gift and they absolutely loved it! Thank you.

Been waiting for so long to have a copy of the 3rd Season and now that I've got it im kinda disappointed. The menus are lame and there is isn't much else other than the episodes and a few trailers from other seasons. I was expecting something a bit more than that.Overall, I like the fact that they released this and the cover design looks very nice, but they could have done better in terms of content in the DVDs and the box itself.

New region 2 DVD

Was a prestent. Arrived in good time and condition

Loved it

The two star rating is not about either content or Amazon customer service as both are and have been excellent. The two stars relate to the actual physical quality of the discs. I had to return the box set because they were poorly manufactured and would not play. Amazon replaced the set promptly. I'm getting some freeze-ups on the replacement.Great series for both kids and adults.

Definitely my kind of anime. I was only a little whipper snapper when this show came out and I started watching it a few years ago. Renamon is my favourite character of the whole show though. Bandai really knew how to make these characters both cute and beautiful. Renamon was definitely on the beautiful side. DONT CALL ME A FURRY!

Did not work on my DVD player

This is an amazing product 10/10

Despite my own troubles I went out of the way to buy a region free disc player. Tamers is my favorite season of the original 3.
