Digimon Savers is the fifth series/season of the Digimon anime. As of 2006, it is currently in production by Toei Animation.
After a pause of 3 years, a new series has begun in 2006, first aired in Japan on April 2 (Sunday) at 9:00 AM on Fuji TV. The title is Digimon Savers. The anime characters appear to resemble more traditional anime designs, rather than Digimon's more unique established style.
Bandai of America allegedly plans to bring Digimon Savers, along with its products, to American shores in the summer of 2007, though this date has yet to be officially confirmed by Bandai.

Plot summary
Masaru Daimon, an undefeated street fighter at age 14 (in his words, "the best street fighter in Japan"), meets Agumon, who has escaped from DATS, a secret government organization set up to keep the Digital World and its inhabitants in check. Despite terrible first impressions, the two become best friends by "talking" with their fists. Although his skills with personal computers and technology are lacking, his father (now missing) is the leading authority on "Digital World" research. With others, Masaru and Agumon work to investigate various incidents involving the Digital World and Digimon, to try and get to the bottom of things. The Digivices used in this series are called "Digivice iC".Episodes
