DIgimon Tamers is the third iteration of the series, the one that came out right as Digimon reached its cultural zenith outside of Japan, and the one that’s something like Digimon’s Deep Space Nine. Although it was originally met with confusion when it first aired, the series has not only aged well enough to be considered a cult classic, it is even viewed by many Digimon fans as the best entry in the entire franchise.
