My personal Digimon season ranking

Given August is Digimon month, I cannot help but do one of these. Because, oh boy. I have not made one of those in a long, long while.

Now, let me tell you one thing clear: I have been in the Digimon fandom since Adventure started airing 2000 in Germany. I still vividly remember getting into the show and what the first episodes I watched were. I have obsessed about this show for so long...

But I also have unpopular opinions when it comes to the seasons. So let me get to those.

And please note: I will not list Digimon Adventure: (2020), as I only watched the first 22 episodes and then just dropped it. But I will list Digimon Adventure tri., though it is not quite a season.

#1 Digimon Tamers

My number one Digimon season is and will probably always be Digimon Tamers. This show really has no right to be as good as it is. Like, holy shit. This show went so hard in so many regards.

It really is the only season of Digimon that has something like a proper pacing. With only a couple of episodes being actual filler, while most do progress either story or character arcs. And those character arcs are so fucking good.

When I was a kid, I got so hooked on Ruki, because she was just such a good female character. But by now I do appreciate them all. (Well, Ryou maybe less, but that is a story for another day. Because he is one of those examples where I also grew up on those games and I love game!Ryou...)

Also, the amount of amazing background characters is kinda hilarious. Like, background figures like Janyuu, Yamaki or Shibumi are so well written.

Not to mention: For a 2001 merchandise TV show with 51 episodes, the animation has no business being as good as it is. How is it, that this series still has better animation than some of the later series?!

So, yeah, all around great show. Love it. Will rewatch most certainly a couple more times.

#2 Digimon Universe Applimonsters

And while a lot of people will absolutely understand, why I put Tamers in first place, pretty much most people will not get, why I would put Appmon in second place. Because other than Tamers this has a ton of filler episodes.

But to me none of that really matters, based on the fact that I just love the freaking character writing in this show, all the references to computer history and also... The fact that this show is gay as fuck. I mean, holy fuck, the entire Haru/Yuujin thing? Yeah, it warms my little queer heart so much!

But other than that it is another series where I really just love all the characters a ton. Haru is probably the goggle boy I relate to most out of all of Digimon. But I also really loved the other characters in this series, including the Digimon partners and what not.

So, yeah, to me this is my second favorite Digimon show.

#3 Digimon Savers

Masaru in a way is the polar opposite character to Haru, isn't he? While Haru is this soft spoken, introverted guy, Masaru is just this pure hardcore masculinity! GAAAAR! So, while I do like him less as a character than I like Takato or Haru, I did enjoy the writing in this show quite a lot. There were a ton of personal stakes to the story, that the others seasons did not bring in as much as this show did. And that was something I really enjoyed.

And while it got ridiculous at times, I also liked how Masaru was a bit more involved in the battles by punching stuff. Though I kinda am sad that they did not go with that original concept where all the characters would've been able to punch stuff.

I also enjoyed that the characters were a bit older in this, though ironically my favorite characters from the season are Chika and Ikuto.

#4 Digimon Ghost Game

There might be some bias here based on the fact alone that it is the most recent season of the franchise. But even though it was basically 100% episodic, I did enjoy almost every one of those episodes. Basically the show is 100% vibes for me, but oh boy, do I love those vibes.

I find this season kinda weird in terms of how it kinda pushed for two Digimon/human ships, with Ruli/Angoramon clearly being coded into the text, while it is also fairly clear that Jellymon is romantically interested in Kiyo. I mean, there always were seasons where you could definitely go for Digimon/human ships....... but it was never like this. But then again: All power to the monster fuckers, right? xD

And yeah... Being a fan of the horror genre, I absolutely adored how many episodes were based around classical horror stories from all around the world. That was so freaking fun! :D

#5 Digimon Adventure 02

Okay, let me make one thing clear: Digimon Adventure 02 is not a good series. It is not. Knowing what I know about how chaotic it was behind the scenes, aka how chaotic and cursed this production was, this is also not a big surprise. I disliked the show for this for quite long. I mean, there is tons of filler and the animation is soooooo bad in soooo many episodes. I mean, there is a ton of fan animation that is better than this series. But...

It also is kinda charming.

See, the thing about this show is, that I kinda still do like how the characters develop over the show and how... positive a lot of it is. The characters are sweet with each other and even with their enemies. And a huge chunk of the show is also dedicated to the characters outright trying to rebuild the digital world.

Also, this show has Ken, who to this day is one of my favorite Digimon characters. So, fuck it. I actually still kinda like it.

#6 Digimon Frontier

Fun Fact: I grew up with the Japanese dub of Digimon, but Digimon Frontier is the one season, where I actually kinda liked the US Dub, just based on the US soundtrack for this show. I really kinda liked the vibe it had.

In a way I do feel that this show had in fact the strongest character designs out of all of Digimon. The characters just have the right level of detail. They do not look overdesigned, but also not too simple. I really digged that. And yes, as a kid I cosplayed Takuya a lot.

To me the series just mostly suffers when it comes to the pacing. Not because of the fillers really (I am fine with fillers, as long as the fillers are fun), but rather in terms of the Cherubimon-arc being sooooo long and everything happening after it feeling kind of like an afterthought.

But I still very much like the characters. I just wished they did not make Junpei a glutton. One fat character who isn't a glutton. Is that so much to ask?

#7 Digimon Xros Hunters

For anyone now going like: "But this is not even a series on its own!" I will kindly ask you: "Shut up, this is my list." Because those couple of episodes from Xros Wars that were clearly just meant to fill the timeslot for a couple more weeks, do have a very different vibes from the rest of the show.

Now, this also is basically just filler + then the crossover event. But... At times this was kinda sweet. I liked the vibes this show had at times and some of the characters were kinda likeable.

And I really liked the opening.

It was not good. Definitely wasn't. But there was stuff about it I liked.

#8 Digimon Adventure

Yeah, let's get to my most controversial Digimon opinion: I do not like Digimon Adventure a lot. I really don't. Some of the characters are fine, yes, but... I do not like a lot more of this show. Mostly because I fucking hate the crest system and how morally simplistic the show is, with the bad guys just all being bad guys with not much depth. Meanwhile most of the characters are horribly underwritten and have their entire character arcs rushed through within like two episodes.

And I just hate Yamato and how the show just tries to excuse all of his bullshit. There. I said it. I think he is a horrible character. A horrible brother. And a horrible friend. So, yeah, fuck him.

And Nishizono, the showrunner, had no plan where he was going when he started writing. Not entirely his fault, given that he inherited a production that two other writing teams already had abandoned. But maaaaaan, it shows.

#9 Digimon Xros Wars

What is there to say?

Digimon Xros Wars sucked. It sucked. And to this day I wonder what the drama behind the scenes was. We know there was drama (given the showrunner abandoned the production half-way through!) but details are sparse even ten years later.

But, yeah. Taiki is a fucking Gary Stu and the plot just shifts around him. The story is a whole mess. The female characters get sexualized to no end. Everyone who is not Taiki gets sidelined constantly. The animation is inconsistent. And what not.

And the really sad fact: The manga is so fucking good.

I am fairly certain that most issues are because of production drama. And one day I am gonna find out what that drama was.

#10 Digimon Adventure tri.

Digimon Adventure tri. is one of the things that by themselves are not good, but get really bad once you consider the universe it is set in. It is one of those things put into an existing canon without honoring the existing canon at all.

It just ignores basically everything happening in 02. The character developments from anything that has happened before. The 02 characters are just not there. The "original chosen children" exist and yet the OVA does not give them the attention they deserve. And Meiko is just... Oh boy. Meiko is just a horrible character for so many reasons.

It is just fucking sad that this exists. So fucking sad. Just why?!

Also, for OVAs the animation is so bad. Soooooo bad.

Yamaki Pine - This Bonsai tree is about 395 years-old and survived the U.S . atomic bomb attack on the Japanese civilians that destroyed Hiroshima during World War II. 

“On August 6, 1945, at a quarter-past 8 a.m., bonsai master Masaru Yamaki was inside his home when glass fragments hurtled past him, cutting his skin, after a strong force blew out the windows of the house. The U.S. B-29 bomber called the “Enola Gay” had just dropped the world’s first atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima, at a site just two miles from the Yamaki home.

The bomb wiped out 90 percent of the city, killing 80,000 Japanese immediately and eventually contributing to the death of at least 100,000 more. But besides some minor glass-related injuries, Yamaki and his family survived the blast, as did their prized bonsai trees, which were protected by a tall wall surrounding the outdoor nursery.

For 25 years, one of those trees sat near the entrance of the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum at the United States National Arboretum in Washington D.C., its impressive life story largely unknown. When Yamaki donated the now 390-year-old white pine bonsai tree to be part of a 53 bonsais gifted by the Nippon Bosnai Association to the United States for its bicentennial celebration in 1976, all that was really known was the tree’s donor. Its secret would remain hidden until 2001, when two of Yamaki’s grandsons made an unannounced visit to the Arboretum in search of the tree they had heard about their entire lives.

Through a Japanese translator, the grandsons told the story of their grandfather and the tree’s miraculous survival. Two years later, Takako Yamaki Tatsuzaki, Yamaki’s daughter also visited the museum hoping to see her father’s tree.

The museum and the Yamaki family maintain a friendly relationship and it is due to these visits that the curators know the precious value of the Yamaki Pine.”

391-Year-Old Bonsai Tree Survived Hiroshima Bombings and Keeps Growing 

If trees could talk, this bonsai would certainly have a lot of to say. Planted in 1625, it’s lived a lot of history in its nearly 400 years. Currently located at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., it was gifted to the United States by bonsai master Masaru Yamaki in 1976. Little did the Arboretum know that this diminutive plant held a special secret.

The Yamaki family had lived just two miles from where American forces dropped the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in 1945. This horrific event killed 140,000 people and left lasting effects on the city, but Yamaki, his family, and the bonsai—all of whom were indoors during the explosion—were left largely unharmed. Yamaki later donated the tree to the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum ahead of the American bicentennial, never uttering a word about its unique history.

The white pine’s connection to Hiroshima was only revealed in 2001, when Yamaki’s grandsons paid a surprise visit to the collection. And while the museum doesn’t advertise this piece of the bonsai’s history, preferring to emphasize it’s role as a gift of friendship between two nations, it has recently added information about its connection to Hiroshima to its website...

L’arbre qui a survécu à Hiroshima

Le 6 août 1945, Enola Gay laissait tomber sa bombe sur Hiroshima. À trois kilomètres de l’impact se trouvait la maison de Masaru Yamaki. Toutes les vitres explosèrent, le blessant au passage. Mais Yamaki et sa famille eurent la chance de survivre, ainsi que ses précieux bonsaïs, protégés par un haut et solide mur.

L’un de ces bonsaïs est discrètement demeuré durant 25 ans à l’entrée du National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, au sein du United States National Arboretum à Washington D.C. Quand Yamaki fit don de ce pin blanc (qui a désormais 390 ans) en 1976 (53 bonsaïs furent offerts par l’association japonaise du bonsaï en l’honneur du bicentenaire des États-Unis), on ignorait l’histoire de cet arbre.

L’expédition vers les États-Unis, en 1975

Masaru Yamaki près de son bonsaï, en 1979.

Ce n’est qu’en 2001, quand deux des petits-fils de Yamaki fit une visite surprise au Musée que l’on sut toute l’histoire. Ils étaient à la recherche de cet arbre dont ils avaient entendu parlé toute leur vie…

C’est alors que l’on su comment l’arbre avait survécu, protégé par son mur. Le bonsaï avait été transmis dans la famille de M. Yamaki pendant au moins six générations. Un cadeau qui requiert beaucoup de soin et d’attention, en symbole de la relation qui devait unir les deux pays.

Surpreendente: bonsai de quase 400 anos que sobreviveu até à bomba de Hiroshima.

Esse bonsai, com quase 400 anos é a prova mais incrível de resistência a tragédias, principalmente aquelas provocadas pelo homem.

Os bonsais (bonsai é uma palavra de origem japonesa e significa “plantando em uma bandeja” na língua portuguesa) são árvores maduras que se transformam em miniaturas através de técnicas de podas contínuas de seus galhos e raízes, além de amarrações com arame. A muda demora de 3 a 12 anos pra se tornar uma planta adulta.

No dia 6 de agosto de 1945, às 8:15 da manhã, dois pilotos americanos lançaram uma bomba atômica sobre a cidade japonesa de Hiroshima.

Em questão de minutos, a cidade toda estava destruída. Alguns relatos afirmam que, em um raio de 6 quilômetros de onde a bomba caiu, a explosão inicial incinerou tudo quase que instantaneamente.

Miraculosamente, a única coisa que sobreviveu ao impacto foi esse pequeno bonsai de 390 anos, de aparência frágil e delicada. Ele foi encontrado à 3 quilômetros de distância do local da explosão!

A planta foi presente do "mestre dos bonsais" aos Estados Unidos. Em 1976, o japonês Masaru Yamaki, conhecido como mestre do bonsai, doou uma planta do tipo aos Estados Unidos. O que não se sabia na época é que a árvore tem 391 anos e sobreviveu ao ataque de Hiroshima, 26 de dezembro de 2016.

Nuovamente in ritardo oggi recupererò postando due foto. La prima continua il discorso iniziato con la foto di Hiroshima distrutta e fa sperare che la razza umana prima o poi migliori. Si tratta di un pino bianco del Giappone in miniatura, invasato ben 390 anni fa e appartenuto a una famiglia che abitava a meno di tre chilometri dal luogo di impatto della prima bomba atomica della storia. La famiglia lo ha curato per cinque generazioni, finché, nel 1975, il pino fu donato negli Stati Uniti dal maestro di bonsai Masaru Yamaki, in previsione dei festeggiamenti per il bicentenario della fondazione del paese. Gli stessi responsabili dell'arboreto non seppero nulla del rapporto tra l'albero e la città bombardata fino al 2001, quando due nipoti di Yamaki vennero a visitare il locale museo dei bonsai (National Bonsai & Penjing Museum) proprio per vedere il pino del nonno. Quando esplose la bomba, uccidendo 140 mila persone, l'albero era protetto in un vivaio circondato da alte mura, assieme alle altre squisite creazioni di Yamaki. Oggi il pino è alto poco più di un metro. #hiroshima #ww2 #storie #storia #storieefoto #history #worldwar #worldwar2 #japan #atomic #bomb #bonsai https://www.instagram.com/p/B05fTY-H9yv/?igshid=1sojwd1g5gjpy

Descubre el bonsai que tiene 391 años de edad, ha sobrevivido a Hiroshima y sigue creciendo

La mayoría contamos con heridas de guerra, historias que nos han puesto al límite y que hemos superado. Pero lo de este bonsái rompe todos los esquemas de supervivencia que puedas tener. Con casi 400 años de edad y el ataque de una bomba atómica sobre sus ramas, este árbol puede estar orgulloso de sus logros. Plantado en 1625, tiene actualmente 391 años de edad y pertenecía a la familia Yamaki, que en 1945 vivía a sólo dos millas del lugar en el que las fuerzas estadounidenses lanzaron la bomba que mató a unas 140.000 personas. Sorprendentemente, el árbol y la familia Yamaki sobrevivieron a la explosión. Aunque pueda parecer inverosímil, después del ataque nuclear, en 1976, este mismo bonsái fue un regalo para Estados Unidos del maestro de bonsáis Masaru Yamaki. Sin embargo, la historia no era conocida por los propietarios del bonsái hasta años después, cuando en 2001 los nietos de Yamaki explicaron su extraordinaria historia mientras visitaban la colección.

Además de curioso e invencible, es bonito. Esta pequeña pieza de arte viviente es digna de admirar. Aunque los bonsáis están ya extendidos por todo el mundo, su cultivo es un arte que proviene de China, pero que se perfeccionó en el país del sol naciente cuando llegaron hace ya 800 años. Estas plantas requieren tanta atención como delicadeza. Pueden llegar a crearse preciosos bosques de bonsáis conociendo este arte y sus secretos en profundidad.

En caso de estar pensando en tener un ejemplar en casa, no debes olvidar que se trata de todo un arte y que conocerlo bien supone bastante trabajo. Se necesitan técnicas específicas de riego, abono, poda y trasplante que debemos aprender para mantener con vida un bonsái, lo que también incluye mucha dedicación.

Amazing! Credit to @facts_and_video : A 400 year old Bonsai tree from the 1600s that survived the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Japanese bonsai master Masaru Yamaki and his family were inside their home when the atomic bomb exploded less than 2 miles away. The bomb killed 140,000 people but Yamaki and his family miraculously survived with only minor injuries from flying glass fragments. The bonsai tree, which was outside their house in a walled nursery was unharmed. Thirty years later, Yamaki donated the tree to the U.S. as a sign of friendship from Japan. Today, the tree is located at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.

In 1976, bonsai master Masaru Yamaki donated a small white pine bonsai tree to the United States National Arboretum in Washington D.C. as one of 53 bonsais given by the Nippon Bonsai Association to the U.S. for its bicentennial celebration.

For 25 years the tree sat by the entrance of the arboretum’s National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, hardly gathering any notice. But like so many things we pass by without knowing anything about, this tree has a history … and a really remarkable one at that...
