Oh my god, I have the bootleg Omegamon too (with many other bootleg toys, comes with living in a third world country). Seeing it brings me so many good childhood memories.

Sup buddyIt was the same for me, those toys hold so many good childhood memories. I'm honestly surprised they survived for so long in a relatively good state. I was recently linked to this series of articles about the franchise's story http://www.digimonworld.org/2015/10/the-original-monster-makers-history-of.html http://www.digimonworld.org/2015/11/childrens-war-game-digimon-pendulum-d.html http://www.digimonworld.org/2015/11/zen-and-art-of-digimon-digimon-in-asia.html A shame they stopped there though. All in all, is a fantastic read. Plenty of information I wasn't aware of.

One of my favorite youtube musicians, Tsuko G, just released a cover of Butter-Fly, in tribute to Koji Wada. It's fairly excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDwzFi0gc0s&hd=1

The same site that leaked DB Xenoverse 2 ahead of its reveal, is saying there's a new multimedia initiative for Digimon. Via Tamer Unionquote:Japanese spoiler blog Alternator reported today that the latest issue of V Jump magazine contains an announcement of a new upcoming Digimon series, Digimon Universe Applimonsters. Said to be an Autumn 2016 collaboration between Bandai, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and Toei Animation, Universe Applimonsters is supposed to encompass a toyline, TV anime series, and video games. Alternator acquired the information via a furage ("Flying Get") meaning they acquired an issue of the magazine more than a day ahead of its street date. Such acquisitions are made possible by paying off middleman distributors, or stores that get their stock early. Alternator's original statement with an English translation is provided below.

"Applimonsters"? Well, another anime can't possibly be worse than the last one.

Looks like there's a 15th anniversary D-Ark on the page next to it, too. Wonder how they'll handle the card slash part of it?

Oh boy, a lovely multimedia project. Exactly what I wanted out of Digimon. Oh wait, what I wanted was for them to continue on the road they were, my bad. I want to trust but I won't, this will be terrible. At least Tri is still ongoing and that reminds me why I love Digimon.

Pretty much every Digimon series has had an anime, toys, and a video game tie in. I dunno why yer suddenly doom and gloom about it now.

Going full multimedia like that only makes me think that we'll get a poo poo f2p phone game full of IAPs to make it even remotely playable, with a half-assed anime that only exists to sell said game. The fact that Digimon seemed to fix itself on appealing to an older demographic to survive, while this basically screams "going for children who have no idea how money works so they'll buy everything", doesn't even remotely help. It might just be me being overly negative though. I also had no expectations whatsoever of Tri, and that sure proved me wrong.

A smartphone app is the way to go considering kids don't want dedicated Digivice toys anymore. This isn't about being cheap this is about adapting to a newer market. That doesn't mean this is necessarily a kid-oriented work, of course. Digimon Collectors, Crusader, etc. were targeted towards older fans and they were all digital.

The other animes also existed to justify toys, games, or cards. Why do you think they had digivices to begin with?

Kids who are of the age that would be most interested in toys haven't even had their own Digimon series to have toys of.

The general failure of toys in that vein across the board. Roleplay devices that make sounds and stuff are more popular than quest or pet raising toys. The Xros Loader flat out BOMBED.

So this is literally just removing the pretense and getting rid of the name Digimon that's great Also amusingly enough, for me as a kid? Digimon season 1 and 3 was never a toy show. For whatever reason the toyline for season one NEVER came out over here. I was never aware of it and never really thought of the show like that. Season 3 also did not have much of a shelf life over here, though there might have been some cheaper poo poo that I ignored.

Focusing so much on apps sounds like some 90's era, "we're still relevant" style rebrand that just horribly dates the work.

"Digimon" is part of the series' name. I think it'd be a bit presumptuous to say it won't be used. EDIT - also, EVERY series of Digimon dates itself. Like, Our War Game and Tamers are great works that both use technology well, but they're also pretty far removed from how technology advanced since. Application software, meanwhile, have been part of technology for decades now. They're not going anywhere. EDIT - I mean, Taichi and Koushirou save the world in the 2nd movie using Windows 98 and DIAL-UP. Nodosaur fucked around with this message at 01:59 on May 21, 2016 |

Considering the full title starts with "Digimon Universe", it sounds like this is just a standard case of a spin-off using the original's marketing draw to get up and running. Nothing new for any form of media.
