Anyway, it's a little dull. The MOTW format is uninteresting, but I'll be fair and not hold that against Savers in specific since damn near every series does that (Tamers included). My issue with it is that the fights they feature are rather dull to watch. Sometimes we'll get GeoGreymon tossing a Digimon around before finishing it off, or Gaogamon doing one of his token attacks before reverting back to Spiral Blow, but overall, it feels like there isn't much to enjoy action wise.

The relationship between Digimon and human is rather interesting, though. I like that the Digimon aren't just malicious because shut up, but they actually aid the humans they meet in some manner. It makes the characters a little more interesting in how they utilize the Digimon for their gain in some way. My only issue is that the Digimon who actively help the humans are treated as mindless animals driven by instinct, and the Digimon who can speak and are treated as sentient are either the partners or show no desire for anything beyond "Destroy stuff because shut up."

However, to be entirely fair, I am only 10 episodes in, and the main story arc has yet to begin. But to be unfair, these introductory 10 episodes have done little to hold my interest. Masaru hasn't gone through any sort of change, Tohma has a problem with Masaru for 2 episodes, and now they're buddy buddy, Yoshino still doesn't get to do anything, and the Captain feels like they don't know what to do with him (His demeanor and attitude feels like he's the stoic, quiet leader who makes wise decisions and everyone respects, but his actions and decisions makes him feel like the "Hot blooded" leader who acts before he thinks).

Savers is a slow burn early on(but then again that could be said of most Digimon series), but once the plot kicks in the series in the teens is becomes one of the best Digimon series.
