Adventure: will be 66 episodes long. Survive is delayed yet again, but has a more concrete release date now, January 2021.

I can’t help but feel that Survive was always going to be delayed again. There’s a pandemic, that has to slow down development

I was not counting on Adventure being that long, in all seriousness.

Interesting. The next few episodes will tell us what to expect from evolutions I guess. I really do wonder/hope we'll get more Omnimon-style fusions from the rest of the cast.

At best (or worst..) we'll get Kizuna forms for everyone.

It's more worst than best really considering how ugly those are.

Giant buff Patamon would be almost hilarious enough to accept one of those abysmal Bonds forms.

You know what? Let’s just do that for everyone. Everyone gets a form that takes some aspects from the Rookie, but puts it on a body that looks like they walked out of old-school JoJo, but has a cannon or two welded on.

My husband and I pretty much totally binged Appmon. We really enjoyed it. Even when it wasn’t so good it was ridiculously fun.

Ending spoiler
Whats the deal with Yujin seemingly returning at the end? Is there anything to that or is it just sort of a throw-away happy ending?

We're never going to get this, but I would really love an online action RPG Digimon game like Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

I don't know exactly how it'd work- maybe you could pick different starting Digimon and craft your own evolution line?

But goddamnit, it'd be really cool

So on top of the new Adventure: digivice we're now getting a $100 original one that covers Adventure, Our War Game, Tri and Kizuna.

Not surprised that we got pages for both Adventure devices before the Pendulum Zs, but with Japan's Pendulum Z preorders closed, hopefully the US will put up preorders eventually.

Had a similar idea, though I was thinking more in line with the Gundam Breaker series in term of gameplay, definitely on the same page regarding how the Digimon would be handled though

It could work. I have no idea how, but it could work. I'd be up for it.

We've had a lot of fighting games so another wouldn't be impossible. None with Masaru though, he'd just be broken.

A friend and I were watching this together and we were joking during the build up to the fight about how we need to get Leomon and Whamon and Pixiemon introduced so they can all die later. loving speed run that poo poo Ogremon, I guess!

Folks, Digimon is good again

It seems like its going a bit too fast though. Greymon evolving to Metal Greymon felt like something that really had to be earned, what with SkullGreymon and Tai’s character development. They’ve been doing a good job of having character moments so far and it’s worked pretty well, but in this case it just feels kinda... wrong, I guess.

Adventure: has just the right ratio of familiarity to unexpectedness. There’s enough of the original plot where you recognize it and think you know what’s going to happen but it goes and does its own thing.

Edit: forgot to say I lol’d at this exchange:

Even better idea; Titamon and BanchoLeomon team up, climaxing with them Jogressing for a new version of Chaosmon

we doing spoilers for now?

I was starting to think the pacing was finally gonna slow down a bit these past few episodes but godamn today's episode felt like getting hit by a speeding train, I honestly wish Ogremon got at least a few more episodes to be a threat, maybe go a round with all the partners at least once and get more buildup? but if it's speedrunning to get us to a Titamon moment down the line I'll accept it.

Though for now while I'm enjoying this reboot mostly I still think the pacing needs to chill out. :colbert:

Orgemon has already been defeated twice, so I'm fine with them doing this now before he became hard to take seriously.

Well if we are going to be having all 8 partners hit Ultimate*(plus at least one Jogress) it kinda makes sense that the pacing is going to be a little hectic at time in order to get there, like we'll probably have gotten all 6 of the current group's partners to Perfect by somewhere between episodes 20 and 30 depending on how the exact pacing will be(I figure it'll probably be between 2 and 3 episodes between each partner reaching Perfect starting from next week's episode)

*which is something no series in the franchise has done before, I think the most we've gotten before was Tamers having 5 Partners reaching Ultimate(not counting MarineAngemon here cause it reached Ultimate naturally before it even met it's partner)

Savers got every main character's partner to Ultimate and beyond; counting secondary ones like Miki and Megumi and Yushima aside.

Frontier still wouldn’t count since the two leads got two exclusive power levels (one of which required everyone else depower themselves) and were perfectly capable of using the final form all on their own. By latter stages, the group barely qualified as a team: it was Takuya and Koji with their cheerleaders.

Okay I'm sure I've asked this before, probably in this very thread...but how's the interface on these things for someone who doesn't read japanese? Simple enough I can have a notecard crib sheet?

Remember that Susanomon in the final fight had all five kids in it

Also definitely a big factor in why people like to talk about ways to fix Frontier in a hypothetical remake

Frontier was such an amazing and interesting concept utterly bungled in execution. I wouldn't mind seeing another swing taken at that tee, but I think it was sadly a product of its time and that time will never come around again...

Yeah, the whole Digimon Sentai team concept actually sounds kind of fun. A pity it quickly became the Takuya & Koji Show though (hell, the token female member wasn’t even allowed to win her DEBUT fight).
