Of all the Digimon series (including the original), Digimon Tamers is the only one I can recommend to anyone who has never watched Digimon before.
It’s not an anime that’s going to change your life, but if for some reason you’re interested in this franchise, Tamers and the OVA "Digimon Adventure Movie (1999)" are the two peaks in the Digimon catalogue.
The Digimon series in general is the typical show with a ‘monster of the week’ dynamic; therefore, the idea is usually to introduce new Digimon in every episode. However, Tamers, whilst retaining that element, also features excellent character development. The show is aimed at children, but

Of course I recommend the Naruto experience.
Naruto is a legendary franchise for many reasons. BUT, it's not perfect. It's one of my favorite anime, and I can tell you without hesitation that it's not exactly good. So yes, the play has its high points, its mediocre moments, and parts that go nowhere, as well as some bad bits. It’s not consistent. And that’s why I should warn you to be patient with it and not take it too seriously. The idea behind the show is, in principle, to create an engaging fiction, and it certainly is. The anime enhances Kishimoto’s original work. The music is excellent. And overall, ... May 1, 2026
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
(Manga)
add
I hate "robots," I'm FED UP with the homoerotic scenes with Amado, Shikamaru's submissiveness, and the fact that all the women, including little girls, have to wear heels.
The most flattering thing I can say about Boruto so far is that it's not worse than Naruto; it's just as bad. The difference is that in Naruto, at least the setting seemed interesting to me. I wanted to know more about that world and all those characters that Kishimoto didn't develop. Here, I don't care about anyone, I'm not interested in that Konoha. The little that interested me (Sarada, Mizuki, the relationship between Kawaki and Naruto) isn't developed, ... Apr 12, 2026
This film isn’t bad, but it has one of the most insulting openings I’ve ever seen.
Right from the beginning, the film practically demands that you switch off your brain completely and that everything established in the original work doesn’t really matter. I’m not even a fan of Akatsuki, but the way their presence is trivialised and none of the members matter in the slightest. Ugh. It’s shocking. Leaving that aside, this is one of the few films that gives us what we usually expect from a Naruto film but never get: interaction with or deeper exploration of the characters we already know. But of course, the creative ... Apr 11, 2026
Naruto: Shippuuden Movie 1
(Anime)
add
I think this is the only Naruto Shippuden film I’ve seen so far that hasn’t annoyed me, which makes it the best Naruto Shippuden film i watch. The story is fairly simple and, overall, it feels like a very long filler episode. I suppose having Neji and Rock Lee on screen is a plus. If you don’t like either of those two characters, then you’ll have no reason to watch this film. Nor would I recommend it to anyone who isn’t familiar with the franchise.
It has everything you’d expect from your average Naruto film, so I suppose it does the job. But overall it’s 1 ... Jan 15, 2025
An insult to intelligence
The only good thing I can say about this anime is that it has a cast of very colorful characters that I regret that they belong to this nonsense. Bad script, bad character development, if you are going to use this anime as something to have in the background while you eat and not pay too much attention to it, it could work, but don't take it seriously. The whole time I watched it I was reminded a lot of the Scot Pilgrim movie, a whole big narrative set up, with futuristic anime girls and technologically advanced companies to teach its protagonist how ... |
