The second season of Digimon picks up four years after the original DigiDestined brought peace to the digital world. An evil Digimon Emperor has seized control of the digital world, and since some of the original DigiDestined have moved on to high school, new kids Davis, Yolei, and Cody join T.K. and Kari in the ranks of the DigiDestined and travel to the digital world to fight the Emperor and the evil he's spreading. The DigiDestined discover that the Digital Emperor is someone from the human world, so they must change the way they fight to ensure success. Finding Digi-Eggs, which allow the DigiDestined's Digimon to digivolve, remains a high priority, but when the dark control spires and digispirals that the Emperor is rapidly constructing keep the Digimons from digivolving, the destruction of the spires becomes an even more pressing directive. Then Arukenimon, another new enemy, enters the scene, and it looks like darkness may prevail in the digital world and beyond. The DigiDestined's fight in the digital world helps each of the DigiDestined find their own inner strength and begin to realize the true power of dreams and optimism. Besides making them stronger as individuals and as a team, the DigiDestined also discover that working together enables their Digimon to digivolve to their respective Champion stages and then to digivolve in combination with other Champion Digimon to the extremely powerful Ultimate Digimon stage. The Digimon series is nicely animated, full of action and suspense, and highly appealing to kids ages 7 to 10 as well as to the young adults who grew up with the series in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Bonus features include a villain photo gallery and a 32-page character guide booklet. --Tami Horiuchi Commonly referred as Digimon Zero Two, The Complete Second Season is the direct sequel to Season 1 and takes place four years after the original series. With most of the original characters now in junior high school, the Digital World was supposedly secure and peaceful. However, a new evil has appeared in the form of the Digimon Emperor, a human just like the DigiDestined, who has been enslaving all Digimon. Three new children are chosen to save the Digital World and, along with T.K. and Kari, make up the new generation of DigiDestined.

Considering the size of the season the price you can get it for is certainly worth it. Lack of features while disappointing is mitigated by the beautiful packaging with the character guide and eight discs that are label with a digidestined and digimon as well as all the episodes on it. While 02 is enjoyable continuing the story from the Digimon adventure or 01 giving us new digimon and new digidestined. It lacks one of the core themes from its predecessor about finding your inner virture and thus the middle of the season for the most part seems unfocused and the plot just kind of meanders along with a Frankstein's monster villain in Black-Wargreymon that falls short. The digimon emperor arc though is some of the best in all of digimon and the episodes set in the real world where the older digidestined appear prominently are really enjoyable even though the season then ends rather abruptly leaving many loose ends while also trying to tie up stuff with the infamous epilogue. For digimon fans who have waited over a decade it certainly worth having an appreciated its done well and at a reasonable price. For possible purchasers I can tell you have gotten my kids and several of their friends to share my joy of digimon. It would best to start with the first season but since after 02 digimon takes on the characteristic of power rangers where one season contains its own story so that the next seasons are only connected story wise to themselves. Digimon 02 is still a very fun story on the whole and nice to see T.K. and Kari and advance the story of the Odaiba digidestined Review: The end of the "real Digimon" - This is my second favorite season of Digimon next to season 1. In my own opinion, this is where the "real Digimon" ends. There were a few things that bugged me in this season though. One, I always kind of hoped Kari and TK would have gotten together, and I feel the fans of Kari and TK were robbed. Two, they didn't put Kari and TK together but were able to put Ken and Yolei together at the very end of the series. Never understood that one. Although, I did wish they did build up to the romance between Yolei and Ken which would have made more sense when they announced it at the end. Third, yes the "plot holes." One of the "plot holes" I didn't like that Toei did was stopping whatever plot they had going when they aired "His Master's Voice" (one of my favorite episodes this season next to Genesis of Evil). Don't know why Toei stopped it, they could have had a good plot and possibly let Kari have a story of her own. The few things I enjoyed about this season was seeing the old characters from season 1, the Ken saga, and the Davis/Ken friendship. Overall, great season of Digimon and one of my favorites! I always felt Digimon ended here when the second season finished. Digimon didn't feel the same in Tamers or beyond however I did surprisingly enjoyed Frontier. It truly was ashamed that Toei did not decide to continue using the Adventure characters for other seasons. They could have easily made them continue their adventures in high school or heck college and even continue building character development especially for the new kids in the second season. Shout out to New Video Group for another amazing release! Can't wait to get this in the mail:)

Just when you think it can't get any better...
When I discovered that Digimon Adventure 01 was released on DVD, after twelve years, I was over the moon. And now that very same company is releasing Adventure 02 as well, and if the first DVD set is anything to go by, this will be a brilliant set. The story is original, but just as compelling as the first, and the ending ties up the character arcs nicely. The perfection of this series cannot be described in words, you have to see it for yourself!

Just bought it for a voice actor signing, but also got a good series out of it!
I had actually never watched Digimon before. I only bought to be signed by the voice actor of The Digimon Emperor/Ken Ichijouji. I watch the Tsubasa Abridged series alot and the Digimon Emperor is in a few episodes. The episodes he's in are absolutely hilarious, so even though it was an abridged series of a totally different anime, I thought it be nice to have the actual Digimon Emperors VA to sign it. I have two friends who love the series and told me to watch it; when it finally came in, I thought bought it, might aswell watch it. I can see why friends like it. It's a pretty good series that made me laugh quite a bit. The DVD box it came in is really nice and so are the disks. Great, likeable characters and a cute and funny series overall. The only thing that bugged was the "Digimon Energize!" to the piont I started fast-forwarding it everytime they did it. I give it two thumbs up and may buy the other seasons now.

Very Well done...again!
For those who bought the first season on DVD, the box set is similar. PROS of set; I am 30 episodes in and so far ALL episodes are PRE 9/11 airings. This means that all shots of the control spires being destroyed are intact. CONS; 30 episodes in and some episodes (4 so far) are missing the opening and recap. One episode was missing the credits at the end. Again, only 30 eps in out of 50 so I'll let you know if anymore are missing openings and recaps. In addition, some episodes include a Y7 rating box for about 15 seconds at the start of each episodes. It makes it seem cheap like they ripped it off line for a bootleg. Overall, a nice set. Some flaws as mentioned but its a great price and packaged nicely. A must have for Digimon fans!

Great Product
I've been waiting for these DVD re;eases for years, and it's really nice to finally see them. The quality of the video is wonderful, considering the show is over ten years old, and the episodes themselves are the original, uncensored dub versions that aired before 9/11, meaning you get some scenes or shots that make the sequences feel more complete, particularly with the destruction of the control spires. My one nitpick with the set is that some episodes are missing the recap of the last episode, or the opening sequence. This really hurts the very first episode, because there's a really sweet summary of what's happened over the last 3 years that's missing. Nevertheless, this is a great set, and I can't wait for the release of the other seasons.

An Old Favorite Returns
One of my favorite shows growing up was Digimon, my favorite season was the second. After Digimon: Digital Monsters - The Official First Season was released, I was hoping for the second season my only hope is that Saban Brands' re-acquiring the series in 2012 doesn't affect the episode's presentation and that they stay the same as when they aired on Fox Kids in 2000, like the Season One set did. You couldn't see the English dub of Season Two on DVD, the closest thing available for 13 years was Digimon - The Movie . I can't wait to be able to watch the episodes "His Master's Voice" and "An Old Enemy Returns" again, anytime I want! It is worth the price if you ask me, since Digimon fans have been waiting 13 years for this season to be released on DVD and are anticipating Digimon Tamers in June 2013.
