Hitlersaurus Christ posted:Wow, I was expecting an epilogue, not a pilot. It’s a shame that the chances of it continuing/becoming a TV series are so low, because that was 100% Konaka right there. Same, but then again I've seen enough of Konaka's stuff that I probably shouldn't have been surprised this is how it went. I haven't seen anything by Konaka that didn't have an open ending or that didn't in some way link to a broader untold story. Then again this was described as his sequel pitch in the lead-in right?

Honestly, aside from Konaka's concerns about it, Toei is definitely not gonna greenlight a Digimon series where the characters are twenty year old adults, even with Dragon Ball GT Goku Takato rolling about.

I dunno. Digimon has found a rather important niche with the adult fanbase, with Tri and the games from Re:Digitize onwards. That's only a logical step forward, giving adults a series about adults. It probably wouldn't be released like a normal Digimon show though, it'd have to be something like Amazons, on a web service.

Even adult-oriented anime favors teenagers and young adults.

Ending on a lame note is just being true to Adventure so I hope that's true, that way it can be 3/3 on bad endings.

He still comes entirely out of nowhere, without explanation, and adds nothing to the series which is pretty damming for the final boss of the series. If anything, Tri has used Apocalymon better than Adventure has. Still a better ending than 02 but that's not high praise, 02's is still the worst ending in the franchise.

I'd argue that as well if it wasn't for the loving epilogue That epilogue is just inexcusable and if Tri has any sense at all, it'll just quietly ignore the thing entirely DT, if that's all true, that doesn't even sound like an ending. It just sounds like "more poo poo to come I guess"

Found this chart made by japanese fans. Horizontal is interesting, vertical is exciting. Adventure is used as the control point. Both interesting and exciting: >Appmon >Xros Hunters Exciting but not interesting >Frontier >Savers >Xros Wars >Xros Generals Interesting but not exciting >02 >Tamers >X-Evolution Neither exciting nor interesting >tri.

Honestly yeah, you guys are being a bit too rough on DT here I largely have to agree with these- none of them are exactly a measure of quality after all. If Tamers had a serious problem, its that it basically runs out of villains super early on, and for a kids adventure show that's kind of important. We get Scari Jeri at the end but even she's super subdued due to her role. Tamers manages to be a great show regardless, maybe even because of that fact, but it's one thing Adventure has in spades. Even Apocalymon, who you can argue about, was a really great bad guy for them to have to fight.

Yeah, I took exciting to mean in terms of nonstop action and the such. Tamers has pretty good action, but it is definitely toned down compared to others. Think the finales, like Adventure was solved with everyone throwing their big final hits, 02 with even more totally everyone throwing their big final hits, Frontier had a bit of a huge kaiju fight, while Tamers has a big mega final sword slash whiff hard and then programs and emotional growth and support defeated the monster. Which is great. That's not to say Tamers is unexciting or anything. Beelzemon vs Gallantmon is amazing. But the big fights aren't as common, and its best moments are more character-driven than having a cool-rear end fight. It's still just a silly scale, but I can't say I find it particularly wrong or worth debating against.

I don't know why are you getting so bent of shape about this. I just posted because I thought it was an interesting peek at the mindset of the Japanese fanbase. But hey, if you rather let the thread die because no one tries to spark any conversation Anyways https://twitter.com/Digisoulweb/status/982841100581908480 Translation. Straight from Konaka's twitter, a picture of a prototype logo for Tamers. He also says that originally it was considered for all digimon animated projects to include the word Adventure on the title but this idea was ultimately scrapped.

I'm glad they didn't go with that. Seeing how Adventure has by far the biggest universe of all series, "Adventure" serves well as a term for those series and things linked to them specifically instead of all Digimon anime.

Digimon Evo would be a great name for a show, though. Anyway, let's talk about something more constructive. What's a Digimon you would have liked to see get more (or any) attention in the wider media? Personally I'm kind of bummed Plesiomon never got its fair shake in the anime. Blahblahblah evolution "making sense", but it's clearly designed with being an Ultimate for Gomamon in mind, and the use of Vikemon instead ends up leaving two evolution lines out in the cold. All poor Plesiomon has gotten is bit roles and stuff in the video games, and it's a charming, memorable design to boot.

Crossmon has always been that to me. I learned about it thanks to a sticker of some sort and instantly fell in love with its design, yet it's mostly non-existent in the wider franchise. At least Plesiomon had a role in one episode of Hunters.

Slash Angemon might be mine I discovered him back in, like, 2002 thanks to Digimon World 3 and holy poo poo, he's the most anime protagonist thing ever. He's all metal and blades with blade wings and giant swords for hands and it's just hilarious He's like what a really overexcited child would design to make Angemon WAY COOLER

I've always been a huge fan of Deathmon, the only Demon Lord digimon who never hit it big. Deathmon was a real good monster of the week in V-Tamers, but beyond that Deathmon has basically no traction in digimon media. I suspect it's because Deathmon is thoroughly unthreatening, but I find it rather endearing.
