Digimon Tamers is good...DVD Boxset not so much, November 3, 2009
This review is from: Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete 3rd Season (Digimon Tamers) (DVD)
Just so you know, the rating above does not reflect my opinion of the show itself (which I would rate higher), but of this long-overdue DVD boxset that finally brought "Digimon Tamers" into my household.
For starters, I should point out that yes, this probably is a bootleg on account of there being absolutely no credit given to Buena Vista Entertainment or Disney in general. With that said, it's a pretty fine bootleg: the covers of the case are a bit uneven (of course, that may be just my copy), but the box itself is sturdy and discs inside certainly look professionally printed. Each of the five DVDs contains about ten episodes, amassing the complete 51 installments. The audio is 2.0 stereo and the aspect ratio is fullscreen; personally, I think it looks and sounds pretty good, but tech nuts will probably feel ripped off.
Sadly, this set only includes the Americanized version of the show...meaning you're only getting the goofy English dub and the expected censoring (which isn't as noticeable as it was in, say, "Dragon Ball", but it's disappointing nonetheless). There are also no subtitles, so there's really no way around the overly kiddy vocal performances that'll eventually get on the nerves of everybody over nine years old.
In all, this set is worth owning for fans that are either too smart or too scared to download the original cuts illegally, but it's not the full Digimon experience. However, since it's not likely that Disney is going to release the series by themselves, in its entirety (and almost certainly not in its original format), this is definitely the best bet for fans willing to shell out a chunk of money.

Caution when buying!, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete 3rd Season (Digimon Tamers) (DVD)
This series is great, and even though it is the dub, it has the scenes completely unedited, so it's like an uncut dub, bu be cautious, I own a lot of bootleg anime and none have the cheap DVD quality of these(and these look profesionally packaged)at first you fall in love with them but after a certain time with the DVD's they will stop playing and no DVD player will play them, the laptop and everything just say the it's an unsupported format type and will never play, so for how high the price these DVD's suck, maybe it was just my copy, but im just giving the warnign in case others have had this happen to them too and help others who are considering buying them...

Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete 3rd Season (Digimon Tamers), June 2, 2009
This review is from: Digimon Limited Edition Collectors Box Set: The Complete 3rd Season (Digimon Tamers) (DVD)
Digimon Tamers is the third season, which is another complex storyline with brilliant characters and lots of humour. The previous two seasons are seen as a TV show in Tamers.
The chosen children, Tamers are facing the D-Reaper, a misguided program that got mutated and is now going to destroy two worlds.
The main characters are Rika, Henry and Takato. However, other characters such as Jeri, Ryo, Kazu, Kenta and Suzie are also quite important. It takes place mostly in the real world, much like season two.
