Ah, Digimon Tamers. Often considered the best of the Digimon series by a large part of the fandom, I remember it got a mixed reception in my country during its release; mostly due being completely unrelated with the previous two Digimon seasons.
But more importantly, due the very slow-pace of the first episodes, taking a very long time before the main characters venture into the Digital world.
The mundane setting, combined with the apparent lack of a villain in the first episodes (The proper antagonists are introduced much later in the series) caused some of my schoolmates to consider the series "boring" and refuse to give it a chance.
I remember that as the moment when many of them stopped watching Digimon, but personally, I found Tamers to be an interesting series, due its a mysterious atmosphere and new characters.
Sure, I was bothered a bit by the lack of villains (And also the lack of action of some of the first episodes) but as the series progresses, the plot also became more complex, with some brilliantly written moments.
The dub (The Latin American dub, not the english dub) was still pretty solid, and fortunately, kept all the excellent original soundtrack (Only the opening and the ending were translated) I always liked the awesome opening the series had; it's a very sad thing Chiaki Konaka, the main writer of this series had became a loony conspiracy theorist.
Something something "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". (See also: J. K. Rowling, or all the artists that started being involved in the nft scam)
