Digimon Thread 8/1 Continues

Strange as this year it's been real slow on Sup Forums for Digimon. Is the seasonal anime too important to take a break and reminisce on the Digimon franchise?

In Digimon news, Tamers Blu Ray will be comming soon, a new pv dropped for movie 5, and we have been introduced to two new Digimon GraceNovamon and VenomVamdemon - Undead and there will be a stage play for Tri which will be an original story.

PV: youtu.be/FDQ7ToQa1x

So no one cares about Digimon this year? All I see is seasonal shit. How far has Sup Forums fallen that threads on classic anime die out. Faggots.

Tri is pretty bad.

Well yes it is but we don't have to talk about that tripe. I am done defending Tri at this point.

I like digimon, and I'm excited about the new Tamers release. But what is there to talk about right now? Your questions you posed in the OP are quite inane, and you should just wait until the BD is released. Just like when a new digimon game gets released, that's when discussion will occur.

But it's fucking Odaiba Memorial week. Sup Forums usually has a thread or two on it but so far this year nothing. Can we have one pregame thread before the 5th movie drops?

What's the new Tamers release about, anyway? I keep seeing it mentioned.

Tamers is getting a Blu Ray release along with a new CD drama that Konaka will be directing,

Glad people finally admit it

I thought I liked it at first but looking back it was all nostalgia. I hardly remember anything from Tri despite it being recent.

It's fucking sad; I know. But such is life as the internet continues its downward spiral.

The only people who said they liked it were forcing themselves to do so. I did so because I didn't want to admit that a bunch of sweaty nips shat down my throat.

>tfw liking digimon in poke-craze 90's
I remember when pokemon and digimon began airing at the same time for a while.
Had to fight my pokemon obsessed sister for my digimans.

Who won?

>new CD drama that Konaka will be directing,
I couldn't be happier.
Tamers 2 when?

It's out in 2 months so it'll be better to have one nearer the time.

Still August 1 though 3rd are significant dates in the Digimon timeline which includes on the 3rd the greatest bro of all time sacrifice.

Please, don't get my hopes up, user.

How mant anons have seen digimon nowadays?
It did air in the year some anons were born so who knows?
Maybe someone should stream it.

Never lose hope user, if you do they will never come back.

See I need to re-watch Tamers. It's been so long.

I did it last year and it is really good, the characters are really well fleshed out.
Impmon's arc was great, it was very nice that yhe digimon themselves also got some development

It was probably because of the smaller cast size, with only 3 main kids and 3 main digimon, the digimon got actual focus. Frontier's really got no excuse for being as shallow as it was with only 5 main characters.

I'm glad it still holds up. From what I can remember, Tamers was the best anime I saw when I was young. And the budding edgelord within me loved the darker tones.
I have it all subbed on my backup HDD, so I have no excuse.

Didn't Konaka play a big role in writing Tamers?

>Didn't Konaka play a big role in writing Tamers?
He was the head writer.

He was in charge of writing, as far as I can recall.

Well that explains why Tamers was so good.

Appmon is pretty good and keeps me entertained every week.

I'll get to it when it's over. How many episodes left?

Best Digi-girl

9 episodes left. Gonna have Agumon from Adventure as cameo in the next 2 weeks.

Appmon is allright, but they rea cpuld have shaved the amount of episodes down to 2 or 3 cour and the first half's seven code appmon hunt felt a bit of a waste.
I did like UNRYUJIIIIIII...

Agree. But first 20 episodes are shit.

On and off me.
I missed stuff here and there unfortunately.

Eh, they were more entertaining than early episodes of Savers imo.

The most underrated Digimon IMO

This is how a series attracts hate: by their fans being spiteful, condescending children.

Digimon isn't Steven Universe user.

After Tri, I don't know if I want them to revive Tamers.

But what if they get Konaka to write it?

>mecha Digimon
I dig it.

You know Xros Wars exists, right?

There's only been 6 seasons of Digimon: Adventure, 02, Tamers, Frontier, Savers, and Appmon.

Xros is not that bad to disregard like that.

Why would you disregard Xros before you disregard 02? Hell Xros is better than Frontier and Appmon.

I don't particularly mind it, but GraceNovamon seems a bit overdesigned even by Digimon standards.

How many cliches was in this one clip?

What is this "Tri" and why should I avoid it?
p.s. I dropped Digimon ever since the third series

>Xros is better than Frontier and Appmon.
Shit taste confirmed.

Look I like all three but Xros is much more competently made than either of those. Frontier is great ideas mired by sloppy as fuck execution and about 20 episodes of Royal Knights kicking the shit out of the protagonists where nothing is ever accomplished. Appmon wasted around 20some episodes and the plot really only kicked in at episode 30 when Yujin and Offmon join the cast.

how OP is gracenovamon?

Someone is triggered by there being no levels and the Digimon being the main focus.

- Xros failed at world building, threw away all power level and logic by removing levels, and it didn't make any of the fights interesting or worthwhile to watch.

- I'd still forgive them if they had interesting characters, but they didn't. Taiki is a giant Gary Stu and the whole universe bends around him and other characters became stupid because only he who could come up with great ideas. The other characters were his tagalongs because everything was all about him. They even ditched Akari and Zenjirou in 2nd arc, lol.

- Hunters arc especially dragged it down further (yes, it's still part of the season)w with poor characters, consisted of 99% fillers that focused on random characters of the day that nobody cared about, and in the end they had to make all other protags from previous series just to save the season. Heck, the art style and animation were even drastically different than the previous 2 arcs.

- Xros also treated every DigiXros as new Digimon which is a huge mistake, especially on abominations like GolemJijiKamemon and G-Cutemon. It's very messy and dumb system. They finally were aware of this in Hunters arc where everything was simply referred as "Xros Up ", but at that point, the damage had already been done.

- Fanservice became stupid and excessive with Mervamon with giant tits and cameltoe, and Liliithmon being a whore (though the latter fits I guess). Gattai Lilithmon? Mervamon's boob lasers? Ugh.

- Weeven haven't talked about plot holes like how Bagramon revived to Clock Man because lol why not.

If those didn't scream poorly executed season all around, then you're blind. Even less than 1% of Japan watched it, lol. I probably would rate it higher than Frontier (2nd worst season) if Xros stopped at 2nd arc, but no.

Yes, Frontier has shitty Royal Knights arc and Appmon has slow beginning, but those shows redeemed themselves in some other areas. Xros Wars? Everything was executed sloppily and gigantic mess overall.

OP enough that it will never appear in any anime series.

Meant for

>muh power levels
>muh levels
I'm glad Xros saud fuck it to that bullshit because the focus of power levels is complete bull. I rather it be skill bassed.

I agree it sucks that Akari and Zenjiro were ditched but they are still present in the manga. But then that shows they coukd have still worked later on by becoming generals in the anime.

Hey each DigiXros was a new Digimon. The joke Xroses were fun and interesting.

Ojay Mevamon came in durring Bamco having porn artist do the Jintrix and Crusader artwork. So with tit lasers and my waifu I think they were just going with that.

I'm going with Homeostasis fucked with Bagramon again and just turned him into a feeble old man.

>I agree it sucks that Akari and Zenjiro were ditched but they are still present in the manga. But then that shows they coukd have still worked later on by becoming generals in the anime.
Getting rid of Akari and Zenjirou was a smart move. Whole Akari's relationship with Taiki was cute they both were pretty damn pointless and Zenjirou was obnoxious. Nene and Kiriha were big improvements.

>I'm going with Homeostasis fucked with Bagramon again and just turned him into a feeble old man.
Don't try and make sense of a time slot filler that was literally shit out last moment. Nothing in YH makes any fucking sense.

Except they didn't even manage to do the skill-based fight in a good way.

Those joke Xrosses are treated as official Digimon, so they become no longer jokes. Compare to how Hunters and Appmon did it, those are treated as some kind of derivatives instead of completely new and separate Digimon species.

They could have given Akari and Zenjirou Xros Loader sooner like in the manga. Ditching characters that they already introduced was stupid. The show needed less Taiki, especially he is an inferior version of the one in the manga. The solution was to make non-Taiki character relevant, not ditched them. It's the same shit they did with Frontier that became Takuya and Koji show.

Best girl.

>They could have given Akari and Zenjirou Xros Loader sooner like in the manga.
Sooner what? They didn't get Xros Loaders until the literal end of the manga.

>Ditching characters that they already introduced was stupid.
You are right, Zenjirou shouldn't have existed period because he added nothing to the show Akari couldn't have done.

>The show needed less Taiki, especially he is an inferior version of the one in the manga.
You are horribly overrating manga Taiki, he's not that much different than anime Taiki. The difference is manga Taiki is haunted by his formerly selfish nature, where as anime Taiki is empathetic to the point it's a genuine fault and almost gets them all killed several times like how he couldn't muster the resolve to kill Apollomon.

>The solution was to make non-Taiki character relevant, not ditched them.
They did exactly that, Nene and Kiriha proceed to become more involved especially in Death Generals. You also are ignoring the Digimon which had some of the most personality in the entire show, with Shoutmon actually sharing the title of MC with Taiki and gets just as much screen time. Hell the core Digimon of team Xros Heart all get pretty fleshed out, all getting a full backstory and character development.

>It's the same shit they did with Frontier that became Takuya and Koji show.
Ignoring two characters who never fucking did anything is not the same as introducing FOUR main characters who several episodes had the plot revolve exclusively around them devolve into nobodies who just are there watching from the sidelines. Also if you hate how Xros for doing that how do you defend Appmon who ignored a shit ton of characters they introduce and act like they will be main characters but they literally contribute nothing like Ai and Watson?

What happened to all the digifuckers?

>Favorite opening?
Hirari and Butterfly are tied. None of the other openings are as good as those two

Biggest Dreamer and FIRE are both amazing as well. I also have a soft spot for Never Give Up.

It's a currently running series of movies that is a direct sequel to the first season, focusing on the original 8 kids again now they're in high school. It's made for the 15th anniversary and is totally about cashing in on nostalgia, but they changed things, including a new art style, so some people think it's the worst ever just on that alone.

Chapter 17/22, enough for them to be relevant and participate in the battle meaningfully and not being ditched instead of like in the anime where they were ditched and then became Generals with little to no fanfare at the last 2 episodes, and then overshadowed by the protags of previous seasons.

Anime Taiki is a Gary Stu and his flaw isn't really a flaw since it can also be seen as his strength instead. The reason he acted like a saint was also never explored properly unlike in manga where it had an arc.

At no point Ai and Watson are treated as main characters. They are supporting characters even from episode 1 and are not the main focus. Akari and Zenjirou, on the other hand, got the same number of episodes as Taiki in the 1st arc and then got ditched later in favor of other characters that were not part of the group to begin with. There's a clear difference there. Please educate yourself the difference between the main characters and supporting characters.

Is the animation similar to that HORRIFIC first Digimon movie?

Yes, that one.

Frontier when?

>the Digimon Adventure movie
>horrific

You're right, it was an abomination, silly me.

You're just trolling now, aren't you.

Never, it did so poorly it literally almost killed the franchise. Why would they return to it?

Is there something wrong with your eyes or is it your brain?

A 500 dollar blu-ray release though. I get that's normal for Japanese home video, but still.

never because, you know, the doors to the digital world were closed, FOREVER
I don't want it to be like the second season of Blue Dragon

If they were perfectly fine ignoring Adventure's drama CD, then it's perfectly fine if they ignore Tamers' drama CD, too.

>never because, you know, the doors to the digital world were closed, FOREVER
Why must you hurt me in this way, user?

Because I am the one who is suffering the most

>Why would they return to it?
Because I liked it. Hopefully, they give us something with it next year.

Oh duh of course there's something wrong with my brain... how could I forget how Smash Mouth saved this film?

>how could I forget how Smash Mouth saved this film?
>Watching the butchered dub version
You deserved every single second of suffering through that gutted abomination.

>Smash Mouth
Wait: you meant the Fox produced shit that melded Digimon Adventure, Our War Game and Hurricane Touchdown into one thing?

Yeah, that's fucking horrible.

I will not suffer, I will believe that their partners and smiles will return one day.

Of course I was talking about that.

What did you think I was talking about?

Myotismon in Adventure.

Early on if not the first episode.

Damn near at least.
>Have any Digimon merch?
Some. I've got a talking Patamon on my book shelf, a missing green D3, a digivolving Magnamon, a broken digivolving Guardramon, and some of the comics Dark Horse printed back in the day.
And I get a stiffie every time I think of the new digivolving toys Bandai is making.
>Which Digimon game is your favorite so far?
Never played any.
>Who was your first ship?
Probably Tai and Sora.

>Favorite opening?
German Butterfly.

Never paid much attention to them.
>Favorite insert?
I don't understand the question.
>Is 02 still shit after 17 years?
Mostly, but it had some good stuff sprinkled in there.
>Was Tri a mistake?
It's flawed, but I hold that it deserves to exist.

The Digimon Adventure prequel film.

Probably this movie (aka the first part of the bad mashup dub thing) that is just called Digimon Adventure. Each of the parts of the dub movie was released individually as their own movies in Japan, so you need to be more specific in the future.
