I watched it dubbed growing up, I've never seen it subbed beyond 1 clip towards the end of the show and listening to the opening/ending themes so I can't say for sure.
I honestly don't remember a lot being censored in it to where you'd definitely want to pick the Japanese over it. If you watched the first two series (Adventure / Adventure 02) dubbed, I'd stick with that.
Savers, aka Data Squad, is the only one that I've seen where you definitely want the Japanese version over the English for the first five series/seasons. |

@GAO
I've been trying to watch all the seasons of Digimon recently and I just finished Digimon Adventure 01 and 02 dubbed. I know the dub is corny at times but its pretty good.
What is Data Squad about and is Frontier or Xros Wars/Fusion any good?

I personally hated Frontier but others seem to like it. The English dub got a little more serious about it too by coming up with new songs instead of just recycling the "Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions" one over and over lol.
Let's see if I can remember it enough to give a good run-down of the basics, I haven't seen the show in so long lol. Savers breaks into two halves basically. First half is about a guy named Masaru (Marcus) who's your stereotypical tough guy and he teams up with a redesigned Agumon who only exists to help get nostalgia-fans back into the series since Savers was the first Digimon show after a six year hiatus. It turns out, that Digimon would escape into the human world from the Digimon world and a group named DATS would be dispatched to get the Digimon and return it peacefully back to the Digital World and the Agumon is one of them. Masaru teams up with the Agumon and eventually join DATS. The rest of the first half is basically like Tamers in that a rogue Digimon appeared and it would be up to Masaru and his two teammates to go stop them. They would also occasionally go into the Digital World for some missions. I can't give too many hints beyond this without spoiling a major plot twist, but eventually the team discovers someone on the human side is killing Digimon and the Digital World Digimon are trying to fight back and hate humans because of it. The second half focuses on this battle more as the DATS team tries to stop the conflict and save both the human and Digital World.
I haven't seen Xros/Fusion beyond the first episode subbed so I can't say much for it. I do have one of it's openings bookmarked because it's catchy lol.
Here's a compilation of the Japanese openings for Adventure 1 through Savers though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7xHMHH-rj4 Somanycatchysongs. Dakedo whoa whoa whoa. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFqp7ohG2SY This one has Xros Wars openings too.
Here's one for endings for Adventure 1 through Savers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWwdkAr2Cag
Plus one of the Japanese voice actors doing a song cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb5CKYoItKk (Had to pick one that Gaomon did. :P)
(The JPN version has their voice actors do a cover of the opening/ending + some original songs while the English version only did singing that was in an actual episode. The English version changed the song every time except in one case from one of the Tamers movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvHwHfMiHBI.) |

@GAO
I wish America had some better theme that "Digimon Digital Monsters Digimon are the Champions" because the Spanish/Latino theme of season 1 is somewhat of a translation of the Japanese version.

@Pare That's corrected after Tamers. Frontier, Data Squad, and I believe Fusion used original songs instead of recycling the old theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqPwarOp-KI (Frontier) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXryMS-htlk (Data Squad) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k3_ybOlsbQ (Fusion)
(My god at the autotune on Fusion's... And I thought the Yugioh Zexal/Arc-V English openings were bad...) |
