Ignacio (He/Him) from the video game podcast Crossplay joins us to talk about Digimon Tamers. In a world where Digimon is a fictional game, young Takato draws a picture of his original Digimon Guilmon -- and it comes to life!

His friends soon pair up with Digimon of their own, and the kids travel to the Digital World, where they explore these partnerships and the unique evolutions of their Digimon as they fight the furious Beelzemon. 

We compare the English dub to the original Japanese script and discuss food metaphors, characters who crossed over from the video games to the anime, a kid's introductions to more dramatic storytelling, and a bird biker with three eyes.

Follow Ignacio!
