JP alone is worth watching. And I haven't seen Xros yet.

It's depressing, and that's what makes it all the better. The heroes have an incentive to win that the audience can get behind. It made things all the more tense when they made the (Incredibly wise) decision to leave the Primary village out of it and had the series take place primarily in the human world.
Adventure/1 explicitly stated that Digimon never die, they just get reborn in the Primary Village. Boom. Instant tension killer.

"What if Wargreymon loses the fight?"
Who cares. Tai just has to go to the Primary village and find Agumon's egg.
"What if WarGrowlmon loses the fight?"
Mihiramon absorbs his data and Guilmon is lost forever.

It was ridiculous that they were all content with literally standing around going "OH!" for 10 episodes straight because Koji and Takuya took all their powers.
