Azran posted:I could swear the only instance of censorship I know of (the one in Gargomon's first appearance) was also in the LA dub, weird. It's been a long time since I watched halfway through the series (the channel broadcasting it here never finished the run) so yeah, faulty memory and all that. What kind of changes were made to the crests, by the way? Joe's went from Sincerity (or Faith, whatever you want to translate it to, it's Sincerity in the Latin American dub) to Reliability, Mimi's went from Purity to Sincerity, causing no end of confusion between people who are accustomed to different dubs. Not to mention how the Perfect level became Ultimate despite an Ultimate level existing, so that Ultimate became Mega, which is so confusing that I just don't use Ultimate for any level to avoid it. And then Appmon added its own Ultimate level, too!

Well, Appmon's is "Kiwami" as opposed to "Kyūkyokutai", so I imagine it's far less confusing for Japanese speaks.

The English names of the levels are a leftover from before the anime launched. In the western version of the original virtual pets, they called it ultimate because it was the highest level you could get to. They didn't keep the individual name changes though, like devimon to darkmon or monzaemon to teddymon (which honestly would have made more sense for the English dub)

so apparently someone asked Kenji Watanabe, the current head of the brand, whether Jesmon's name actually came from "Jesus". It doesn't. It's just an acronym that coincidentally sounds similar. What the acronym stands for however is unknown.

Saver, Saber, Savior. It's kind of a toss up and the Japanese writing doesn't really match how savior is written in Japanese. In short this entire line is a mess, romanization wise.

Except they're the three musketeers, not the holy trinity. I mean, digimon is never subtle about their religious influences. I mean, one of their monsters is literally freaking Buddha. Christianity isn't taboo in Japan, so there's really no reason why they'd even bother dodging in the first place. His answer even recognized the "Jesus" thing as a happy accident. I think he's serious.

That's because they're not, they're more likely related to Omegamon Alter-B as its profile in the international version of Digimon World: Next Order states that it was originally an Omegamon Alter-S that was mixed with Black Digitron by someone, lost its mind, and became berserk.

So I've finally decided to get into this franchise and was just curious, are any of the movies canon (that is, are directly referenced in the shows proper) to the series or do they mostly just stand by themselves? If they are, where exactly would be the proper placement for them?

By that I mean, the first Japanese movie. It's like, the first 20 minutes of the first American movie. The second movie is canon as well, it takes place after Adventure but before Adventure 02. This would be the best segment of the American movie. The third movie is non canon and might be more incomprehensible in Japanese than it is in English. The fourth movie...might be canon? Maybe? Maaaaaybe? If it is, it's after Adventure 02. Tri would come after that, and has done nothing to answer that question. The two Tamer movies ...MIGHT be canon? I think the Locomon one is. If the Locomon one is, it's after Tamers After that I don't know

The second movie is set after Adventure but before 02, so it's canon as well. The third and first 02 movie doesn't line up with the series at all, but Wallace shows up in 02 drama CDs and the movie is used as a basis for spin off media so it's dubiously considered canon. The fourth movie is set post-02 and while Tri doesn't really say anything about it there's nothing that contradicts anything. It's canon. The first Tamers movie doesn't quite line up with the show but Takato's cousin shows up later on so it's canon. The Frontier movie isn't canon to its series at all, but you can make it work if you squint and don't wonder why a character doesn't seem to visibly be carrying a certain mcguffin. Savers' movie doesn't fit in anywhere at all.

So basically only the Prequel movie and Our War Game really count in terms of the overall series, that's about what I figured. Is the Digimon Tri movie series worth watching?

As much as anything else, but no one can really say for sure there till it's done. It's canon, though, and the producers have said repeatedly it's going to explain how the world of the 02 epilogue came about.

I should point out that while the second Tamers movie isn't technically canon, as it had no involvement from Chiaki Konaka and it contradicts the Drama CD that serves as the proper epilogue to the series and was made by him, I still consider it the actual finale of Tamers and the drama CD non-canon because gently caress, the poor kids went through far too much to not get their happy ending. Sometimes, you just have to accept the author is wrong, and this is one of those times. Also Tri has been pretty good but it's somewhat slow-paced and the last movie was not as good as the rest. It's still worth a watch, but with two movies to go we don't know if it'll drop the ball by the end.

I think part of the issue is that it's paced as six movies, but we likely won't get any real answers until the last one. It almost feels like they've stretched the last movie or two out, and then rushed the endings, instead of fixing the pacing to feel more natural.

Well that's nice and good but not what affects things at the end of the day. It's not like Konaka had any lack of appreciation for the movie. He acknowledged it and even praised it, and that CD has a musical nod to Ruki's song form it.

I read a bunch of the dramas when I couldn't sleep earlier this month and they are 99% terrible. The other 1% is the Tamers epilogue even though a buncha nerds are trying to interpret it as referencing the Wonderswan games. Tri has made some odd decisions but ignoring the dramas was a good one.
