Well if there isn't an anime forthcoming it's sad, but this won't be even the third time the Digimon anime has gone on hiatus after a season is completed. Don't cry because it's over etc. And no doubt there will be another season down the line, the brand is doing pretty well overall I think. Meanwhile in T-6... Ghost Game 63 where appropriately the end of the episode makes it clear we are in the home stretch! We have a plot on our hands! And related to that, shouts out to Ghost Game's most surprising monster of the week reveal: Good Guy Quartzmon, friend to baby Digimon everywhere. I can't say I was expecting that… Dagomon next week! And possibly the Digital World if the preview is to be believed.

I wish I could be more excited because Seekers looks absolutely amazing and exactly what I'd want a new show to be...but for some reason they decided not to go for an anime. I'll read the novels and I hope they're good but it's not the same.

Digimon Adventure had that novel adaptation, so another series being one to begin with isn't too out of place.

Omnicrom posted:...ending in 6 episodes means it'll have run for 68 episodes total. That makes it the second longest running single Digimon show, first if you count Young Hunters separately from Xros Wars. The show started October of 2021, it coming to an end after a year and a half isn't it being cancelled out of the blue. Doubly so if that DiM card is the next series/brand/thing. Yeah, objectively it's had a good long run, but I personally just started getting into it so I'm bummed that it's ending because being a fan of western cartoons like The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, king of the hill, and American Dad had trained me to want shows to last a hundred episodes at least. It's my own fault for not getting into it sooner, I hope the next anime Digimon is also good.

It may not be an anime yet/ever, but Seekers does sound loving rad. And I really can't help but wonder if the focus on live action trailers is a testbed for Something.

That trailer sort of makes me wonder if a live action Digimon movie could potentially work (Pokemon pulled it off well enough with Detective Pikachu after all)

Well, what i mean is the art gives off heavy smt vibes and the smt light novel had to be made into an explicitly adult movie, like hopefully you can see where releasing an anime like that would probably not be the smartest brand move

All the adult-targeted Digimon anime has been nostalgia movies tied into Adventure, making a web series or something for Seekers would be a pretty big investment on something very different in attitude to what fans expect from a Digimon anime. It'd be cool, but a web novel sounds like a pretty reasonable format to tell this kind of story in and frees it up to have a whole different kind of pacing than we'd get in anime.

Yeah. A web novel seems like a solid toe dip into this sort of tone. If its popular, I can see VNs, games, or some sort of show (either live action like all the trailers or an anime) popping up in the universe. poo poo, a three way faction war would lend itself well to a video game with an SMT like structure, provided Digimon games were allowed to have budgets.

It's worth pointing out that what you're describing is extremely rare in Japanese animation and what you are expecting generally doesn't happen. When it comes to anime you almost never get shows that run anywhere close to 100 episodes. The overwhelmingly vast majority run 12 or 13 episodes and that's it. A long-running adaptation of a very popular comic that is long enough may eventually climb north of 100 episodes, often over the course of multiple seasons over multiple years, but that's about it. A show that is HUGE will often not be slated for more than about 50 episodes. The most recent series of Gundam set the world on fire and moved an unbelievable mountain of merchandise, and nobody involved imagines it'll run for longer than 52 episodes total. There are a small handful of holdouts that can just run forever/keep fielding seasons forever, but those are generally the exceptions that prove the rule. Ultimately when it comes to anime, it's best to unlearn the idea that a popular show is going to run for hundreds of episodes because otherwise you're setting yourself up for stress and disappointment.

It's also just a better way of looking at stories. They should get satisfying endings, not just putter out forever.

Nodosaur posted:I just feel like a lot of the people scoffing at it are inadvertently insulting prose as a narrative form I have no issues with that and I do plan to read it, but an anime is always going to reach more people. I watched Appmon (if several years later), Adventure: and Ghost Game with my group of friends and it's always given us something to talk about (even if just to mock the show with Adventure:) but I find it hard to believe any of them is going to read a web novel, cool as it may sound. Omnicrom posted:That was where I was at. I was disappointed until they confirmed they were bringing it over. I have no hopes this will have a proper translation with how everything in the actual Digimon site is machine translated and the subs at Digimon Con were some of the worst I've seen in my life. But with some luck fans will take it upon themselves to translate it properly.

I very much doubt that Ghost Game is going to be the last Digimon anime series at least but it might be a little while before we get another one at this rate Speaking of novels, have any of the previous ones been translated (and if so how are they)?

I have heard a couple of interesting background details from it, like the idea that Sora's dad married into her mother's family so Takenouchi is actually her Maiden name which recasts how big a deal her mom actually is as a flower arranger and does a little to contextualize why they clashed in 99, but it's mostly little tidbits like that.
