I admit I'm biased because it was the first season I ever saw, but honestly I just really like season 3 because, by comparison, it just seems so... adult. Some parts of it were surprisingly creepy and/or dark, even early on, and as it continued it was just so... wow. I've never felt more sucked in by a Digimon plot before. And I loved the final villain. Also, I feel like this is the only season that really accurately captured the whole "digital" aspect. Seasons 1 and 2, despite tacking the prefix "digi" onto everything, pretty much just felt like a fantasy adventure story. Some kids get sucked into another world with fantasy monsters that evolve to get stronger and kill each other, whee~! But it really didn't need to have the whole "digital" thing attached to it (even if the franchise is based off of digital pets). Meanwhile, season 3 took the digital concept full-swing, actually making it feel almost sci-fi-esque. Digimon are constantly described as data, but in a way that actually makes sense this time. They're thought of sort of as programs - which are programmed to fight each other, which is why they have that instinct to fight. And they absorb the data of their enemies in order to make themselves stronger so they can digivolve, which means adding a whole bunch more data onto themselves. And because they're data, they can easily be deleted. But because they're sentient, that raises a whole bunch of moral questions when you have people who just want to delete them all and... yeah, it's just really interesting to me.Plus, given the fact that the team who produced this was basically just told to "re-work the entire Digimon series in a way that will encourage kids to go out and buy the video games and trading cards", they did a job of making all that work without totally sacrificing the story and managed to create something that wasn't an enormous cash-in. o.o
I know that kind of feeling. Yu Gi Oh! GX is the first season I saw and I love it.
After reading your comment I definitely have to rewatch the other Digimon seasons! :O
But unlike you, I definitely enjoyed the fact that the Digimons were not just "data". Or rather: I forgot forgot that they were actually just data most of the time. (I think, they have the Digimons say they're not only data themselves?) And I totally cried during the second adventure/season when that one Digimon of the "bad guy" in the beginning died (I forgot the English name).
Oh, and there were pretty much no killing during the second season ^^
But then again, I have to admit I never looked into the setting /story that detailed... I simply enjoyed what I saw.

I was not expecting this.Welcome all new members to our world of anime and manga. We are all weeboos here. Attack on Titan is fantastic. Continue to enjoy it because it only gets better (and bloodier).I love Death Note and I have yet to watch Code Geass, but I really really want to.The first season of Psycho-Pass was wonderful. The new season is, well... new. It has a whole new writter and it shows, especially in the first episode. The story is promising and I have no intention of dropping it. I only have hope that they won't mess this up. At least they knew to bring back Egoist. I never watched Digimon.
Code Geass is amazing! It is a little tiny bit similar to Death Note, since Lelouch gets this power to be able to change the world. But instead of being a total arrogant asshole he actually has a more understandable reason. Though that's why I love Death Note xD :3
I can't wait to watch Psycho Pass. The screen shots I saw were really impressive already.
