[edit] Edits

What did I do wrong this time!? I added more info about the theme songs & the titles of the movies in Japanese & Rōmaji. I didn't change the characters names to all be Japanese this time either. And even though I didn't add it back, what's wrong with having a "Digimon Adventure" image that includes Hikari & Tailmon in an article called "Digimon Adventure"?Linkdude20002001 07:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, one thing I've noticed is that you keep changing "season" to "series". Saban refer to 02 as "Digimon Season 2", Tamers as "Digimon Season 3", Frontier as "Digimon Season 4" so season is the correct term. Digivolve is the correct English term for "shinka", alternative terms are explained on the Digivolution page itself. Shiroi Hane 19:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, in Japan, these ARE separate series. In the US they are considered one...so its more of a technicality than anything else. BTW, I've modified the summary of Our War Game and identified the "water" the nukes land in at the end as Tokyo Bay.Pkmatrix 00:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

we know that, that's why the series name is also given. It's kind of like "Japanese name/English Name" in a way -- Ned Scott 07:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Besides, they're the common season names used by most English fans. Circeus 14:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't about fan consensus, it's about the facts. "Digimon Seasn" whatever is only used in the English dub. In Japan, each series was comprised of two 20~ episode seasons, aired back to back with no breaks in between. In all honesty, so far there have been 10 seasons of Digimon spread across 5 different series. This can cause of lot of confusion with people who don't understand that. For example, back when Toei announced it was contracting 3 more seasons worth of Digimon. There are still people who are waiting for "Season 5" through "Season 7" as a result - when in reality, Toei contracted the second season of Tamers (Oct-April) and two seasons of Frontier (April-Oct, Oct-April).

At any rate, I do have to admit, I'm a bit baffled by the people running the Digimon wikipedia articles. While the vast majority of wikipedia articles regarding anime, manga, and videogames use the original native-language source material as the primary, canon source, with the dub details as secondary information, the Digimon wikipedia articles are the opposite.

Actually, no. WP:DIGI just follows what WP:ANIME does, to use names most likely to be recognized by English readers. There are many other articles that do this as well. -- Ned Scott 09:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] spacers

not sure if I like the spacers or not on the main character list.. thoughts? -- Ned Scott 08:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it looks pretty nice. And organized, unlike most of the Digimon lists. ClaudiaVice 05:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English version

I'm curious why this article does not mention which company dubbed the English version. Danny Lilithborne 23:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The individual articles used to all be apart of Digimon: Digital Monsters, which does talk about the dub and Saban and all that. I guess we just haven't placed that information on these articles yet since the split. The individual anime series articles do need a lot of work. -- Ned Scott 23:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, alright. It was just a little confusing is all. :) Danny Lilithborne 00:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RTÉ

I know RTÉ showed season one in Ireland, but I'm not sure which other seasons. Anyone else know per chance? codu (t/c) 12:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Could someone post an internet link to where you can buy digimon on DVD?Sheenfanficker 02:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

If you search http://amazon.com for "Digimon" they sell the first 13 dubbed episodes on one DVD. Digimon: The Movie (the dub of the first three movies in one) is also available on DVD. Those two are the only DVDs which are dubbed. You can buy the original version in Japanese on DVD through many specialty sites, but it costs an arm and a leg. -- Ned Scott 05:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A question

From the article - The season was highly regarded, and garnered millions of viewers. It also became one of the biggest anime exports out of Japan, specifically the third, after Sailor Moon and Pokémon. (It is possibly the fourth largest, if Dragonball Z is included.) - why is Dragonball Z not included? (You can answer on my talk page if you so wish). —King Ivan 10:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I deleted that part; couldn't figure out why the heck it wasn't part of the main list. *Shrugs* That whole statement needs a source anyway so I put a citation tag by it. Indiawilliams 23:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
