Season 1 vs. Season 3-Which is your favorite?

[Wisemon]

In 04, the action was damn good, and in the final battles, you got to see the emotions of the characters very well (I'm not going to ruin it for you if you don't know why), because 4 of the characters had to remain in their human forms.

04 was the only season that made me feel any empathy for the characters, which is another plus in my opinion. The Kouji/Kouchi plotline provided the emotional interest, and Kouji and Takyua provided the classic Digimon two-guys-who-fight-the-whole-time-but-are-really-good-friends duo. Matt/Tai were a more interesting duo for sure, but they definitely trump the TK/Davis duo.

You're damn right the action was damn good in 04. For the first time ever, a Digimon (Beetlemon) clotheslined his opponents. They also made their own tandem moves, like the Avelanche Axe and Proton Slam. The way MagnaGarurumon and EmperorGreymon beat Cherubimon was also pretty neat, though I hate admitting it. The battle against IceDevimon was another good one.
