Yet it all felt so alien as well, with the Japanese cast. There are very few dubs I like but the ones I grew up with are so ingrained in my memory they actually sound better to me than the subs and so it was just very weird for me to have the Tamers all speaking in Japanese.

Also the animation has not aged well.

Nostalgia does weird things.
I got so used to the English voice cast for Tamers that the Japanese just sounds weird
But the problem is that the dub makes some arbitrary changes (Gallantmon's voice, Antylamon's gender, everything concerning Orochimon) that I'm unsure which I like more.

And Tamers is 12 years old

I preferred the Armors, too. Forms like Digmon and Shurimon were so much cooler than Ankylomon and Aquilamon.

Also, Magnamon? Greater than ExVeemon and Paildramon.
