Digimon Tamers: The Complete Third Season

The Best Children's anime out there.
I'm not a man who uses hyperbole or constantly changes his mind about his favorite stuff. Digimon Tamers is the best anime made for children. I say this with conviction and honesty. The English dub is flawed, but does well enough in keeping with the tone and spirit of the original that kids will have no problem with it, and if you simply prefer English-dubbed anime to subtitled anime, this will service you just fine.

There are three main factors that make Digimon Tamers the perfect kid's show that still appeals to older audiences:

-Relatable and fleshed-out characters. The three main leads, Takato, Rika, and Henry, all have distinct personalities that can easily become iconic to fans of the show, but are also more flawed, nuanced, and developed than most shows period, made for kids or not.
