Anime Profile: Digimon: Digital Monsters

Digimon is about seven young kids who go to camp for the summer and end up getting sucked into a vortex leading to a digital world. They all meet up with little monsters known as Digimon. Each kid has their own Digital friend, which can Digivolve, Warp Digivolve, Mega Digivolve, DNA Digivolve, Armor Digivolve, etc. The kids go on many adventures as they try to get home and save the digital world.

Digimon now has 4 movies in the U.S, excluding Digimon: X-Evolution. The first U.S. Digimon movie was comprised of the first 3 Japanese Digimon movies, while the remaining ones based on the last Digimon Seasons we're released in the U.S. not too long ago. They we're all broadcasted on Toon Disney.

The first season of Digimon tells the story of different seven different children (Tai, Izzy, Matt, T.K., Sora, Mimi, and Joe) brought together under extraordinary circumstances. During a trip to summer camp, an earthquake envelops them all, and sends them to a realm known as the Digital World. They meet creatures called Digital Monsters, creatures (some friendly, others aren't) that are capable of evolving (or Digivolving) into more powerful forms. They immediately befriend the children, becoming their partners and helping them survive the many perils of the Digital World.

However, as their journey continues, they learn that the world they are trapped in isn't a game, and learn of the true reason they were sent there. The Digital World is threatened by a great evil, and the children learn of their true destiny as the Digidestined. In order to pull it off, they must realize the true potential of their Digimon and themselves. They also receive different crests of virtue to help in their mission. But, the danger is mounting and the Digidestined's battle to save the Digital World will soon spill into their own....

The second season begins three years after the Digidestined saved the Digital World. As they all enter Junior High school, the Digital World has been peaceful ever since, until a new and different threat arrives. The Digital World is now being terrorized by someone known as the Digimon Emperor. However, their new enemy is human, using the Digital world as a game to fuel his frustrations and ambitions.

The Digidestined are called back into action to put a stop to the Digimon Emperor's iron-fisted domination over the Digital World. However, new allies and Digimon join them in this new battle. But they soon learn that the Digimon Emperor is only a pawn of a new and mysterious evil threatening the Digital World. All of which will culminate in a battle that will involve the entire all of Earth....

The third season breaks away from the story of the Digidestined and focuses on a new set of heroes in an Alternate Universe. Takato is a kid who is obsessed with Digimon (which is a hit TV show and card game). One night, a Digimon known as Guilmon (Takato's favorite Digimon) arrives in his world, all with the help of a mysterious Blue card. He eventually meets two other children (Henry with Terriermon and Rika teamed with Renamon) who also have Digimon for mysterious reasons.

They soon learn that their world is being invaded by out of control Digimon, all kept under the watchful eye of a mysterious man named Yamaki, who is a part of a mysterious government organization known as HYPNOS. The three children eventually travel to the Digital World to find and cut off the source of this invasion and become a part of a battle to save Earth from a sinister force that could devastate both Earth and the Digital World.
