I dislike Savers/Data Squad because the characters were such anime cliches.

I know that might seem meaningless with some of the guys in other seasons, but they just bored me to tears. They simply didn't fit in with Digimon. Maybe they did get some development later, but I was so tired of their crap that I couldn't bring myself to care about anyone other than Keenan/Whatever-His-Name-Was. The partner digimon were so bland that I can't even remember what forms they had let alone personalities. The punching, new artstyle, and "burning spirit" type stuff didn't help.

Maybe if the dub had some of the in-jokes like the first three seasons, I'd have tolerated it. If it's any consolation, I didn't hate it near as much as I did Frontier/Season 4.

As for X Ros Wars, I'm not sure about it. It reminds me far too much of the crap that I hated about Frontier. I might just wait for the dub and give it a shot then. I'm probably just dumping of this stuff because I compare it to Tamers/Season 3 (my very favorite).

^ I actully love Savers. Great soundtrack and the fights were fairly good. Yeah the main characters were fairly cliche and yet Masaru is pretty cool with the whole punching things several times you're size. As for plot I though it was mature but not psuedo-psychological which was also great.

Xros had some real Fetish Retardant with Lillithmon and that Bastemon

It was wacky as hell though. But Shoutmon x4 gained an awesome cape! and something pretty close the transcend sword.

I gotta say it was a pretty good episode for Xros yet I dunno the fights seem to finish far too quick.

^^Good thing I saw the eps before looking at your comment. Usually we spoiler tag that sort of information for 5 posts after the episode/chapter has been confirmed so everyone has a chance to see it before being spoiled.

10-11 was the best we've seen from this show so far.

The whole They're under siege and are only barely managing to stay one step ahead the entire time. We haven't had that kind of tension before here, and I thought it was really effective.

And it turns out that Akari was intentionally not given a clear role so it they could use that for her Character Development. That's pretty great, but she'll need to start being useful from here on out for it to work.

Finally, it seems like Nene and Kiriha are finally doing something important.

You know, it is pretty impressive that Akari was able to partly see through the illusion and hold onto the Code Crown. Think of how much inner/outer strength that must have taken. Also note that Heart Is an Awesome Power because how else were they able to throw that spear so fast?

Yeah. That girl really has more willpower than she realizes, when you consider how much she wanted to go home, and yet she still wouldn't let go. Also, she's the first non-digisoul enhanced human to hurt a digimon, and the only one make said digimon bleed. Now that's historic right there.

And now, no more new episodes until sometime in October......

Hopefully Akari's development will stick. Her uselessness has been bothering me.

And we get another creepy enigmatic type. Hopefully one of them will create a plot twist soon.

Ah, there we go. You know, I'd been expecting Nene to do something like this for a while; why do I get the feeling she's the REAL Big Bad of the series?

About Savers; cliched characters aren't exactly new for the series, and at least each of them had enough badassery to be rather distinct. I have no idea why you'd call the partners bland, considering they're probably the most different bunch we've had yet (and even get their own movie away from the humans to show that). The punching was one of the most awesome things ever and I'm not sure why people didn't like that, and I'm not even going to get started on the art style. Though again, I guess people have their opinions. I can respect that, even if I don't really understand it.

Episode 12

They're in the Sand Zone now, Nene gets involved, digimemories are re-usable, Taiki already has the code crown, and Blastmon is a freaking idiot. XD

52 episodes sounds fine to me and I like how the show has been progressing as of late. I did find the way that Pharoahmon's test worked to be kind of odd though. I am also glad the Digimemories are reusuable. I think it would be a shame if they were one-use.

I definitely think that of any of the protagonists at this point in their respective series Taiki has the most power at his disposal.

I do not have too many problems with him joining, but well, Ba'almon killed "good Digimon" to further his quest. Whatever, I suppose the more the merrier. If you count Dorulumon then this is the second Digimon on the other side that has joined Taiki and company. However, Ba'almon does not seem like he was ever really bad per se. I am liking how the angelic Digimon have been involved in the Sand Zone though. It is my favorite zone so far.

I hate that theme "We are xros heart" that they spam. When the guy sings it just isn't epic and sounds way too mellow, oh yeah and it is way too overused especially in these rediculously short fights that the series has.

Once again, I too don't get the hate for Savers, it's my favourite of the lot. Masaru punching things and the sheer hot-bloodedness that rivalled Gurren Lagann kinda elevated it to that spot on its own, but it has multiple qualities that make it stand out - several characters get character development after Merukimon turns up, it's got the most evil villain in the franchise bar none (and he actually gets away with multiple atrocities, which really makes you want the heroes to kick his ass), and the adults are actually good for something other than tech support this time. Among other things...

Anyway. The last few episodes were pretty sweet. So far, it's not my absolutely favourite, but I can hold it in fairly high regard. The next one is about to air, so... Can't wait.

Still not a sixth ranger, that spot goes to a certain flying Digimon. He becomes Belzeebumon but doesn't join the team.

You know, I wouldn't mind an SRW-ish game for Xros Wars. XD

Um... Whoever was doing the subs so far decided to call it quits after doing episode 13. So, basically, we're without subs for 14 and after until someone else picks it up.

Crap.
