Digimon Tamers is headed to Blu-ray from Discotek, with the original Japanese version set for November release. The series also appears in the franchise's worldwide best-episode poll as one of the first four anime titles.
Discotek announced in June that it would release Digimon Tamers on Blu-ray, with upscaled HD versions carrying English dubs and subtitles. The announcement was made alongside three other titles: the Hana Yori Dango anime, an HD remaster of Journey to Japan: The Kyoto Connection, and the first HD disc release of Kamen Rider: Skyrider. That first announcement left the release window unstated.
By September, Discotek had put a date on it. Digimon Tamers and Digimon Frontier, both in their original Japanese versions, are set for Blu-ray release in November. The September batch also includes Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins, Patlabor - TV Series, Ultraforce, Pani Poni Dash!, Argento Soma, and New Female Prisoner Scorpion Cell Block X, all up for pre-order.
Separately, the franchise's worldwide poll for the best episodes of its first four anime series, Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, and Digimon Frontier, produced a top pick from each. Toei Animation announced a compilation TV series that will air the winning episodes on Fuji TV starting October 4.
Those are the two threads: a physical media push for the series and a franchise-wide retrospective that places Tamers among the four titles being compiled. Nothing in the coverage addresses new animation, staff, or production for Tamers itself.
