I think its just because the two are seen as the 'odd' ones, so of course they somehow mucked up falling dramatically.

Something I only just got myself though is that they're all wearing uniforms respective to their current education. Joe's still off doing his own medical school thing, so dark blue, Matt, Sora, Tai, Mimi, and Izzy get a light blue for high school, and Kari and TK are still (probably only just) in middle school, so they're wearing the same green that Tai and the others had back in 02.

Its small, but that's a neat touch.

Jyou is probably already attending Toudai, since in 02 he was already in high school... but you've seen how that kid dresses. Even if he was at a university like Toudai where there are no uniforms, he would still be wearing blazers and poo poo all the time. Loser.

I'm just stoked for all the merchandise that is going to be coming out. Do you know how long I've wanted a Mimi figurine? (Spoilers: it's been 15 years)

beautiful.... :cry:

Just saw

in the smilies. Thanks to whoever bought it!! Gotta say I think I'll miss the giant feet and inexplicable Glove Fashion, but I'm kinda digging the simplistic same face. We'll see how long that lasts. My favourite parts of Adventure and 02 have always been Mimi's expressions so we'll see if that can be translated to this style.

Yeah - I just spent the past 20 minutes looking for a release date other than "April 2015." After watching Shirobako this makes me very worried lmao. We should have at least a pv other than some silhouettes with the Bolero in the background. Right??

I hope so. Do people still use irc to download anime? I guess NOWADAYS you could use twitter to follow your favourite subbers and torrent the episode when they tweet its out. Or is that too optimistic? Please don't tell me I have to do irc again.

While I have no idea myself since I haven't used fansubs since I was 13, I imagine they wouldn't use twitter since that's a big, flashing, red sign to the content holders.

I thought about that briefly, but its also really easy to just type in "[anime] subs" and find them that way. They wouldn't need to use twitter.

The human VA change make sense since everyone is an adult now.

Literally all the voice actors were adults when they started adventure. I'm so bummed they dropped Mimi's voice actor... I thought she was a Digimon staple. She always sings the closings. :sigh:

BUT. Who is this?

Is she the villian? I am totally down for a lady villian. She doesn't go to the same school as they do.

Q&A by Producer Sakurai
Everyone is planning a party! Who would play what part?
Yagami Taichi: Naturally he�ll be the one who brings everyone together. But while I say that, he may only be taking the initiative so that he can keep eating sweets?!
Ishida Yamato: He�ll be in charge of the live background music with his newly practiced guitar. In the middle, Mimi will join in with the addition of singing and the entertainment heats up!
Izumi Koushiro: He�ll look up the recipes of the food that Mimi says she�ll make! He�ll be everyone�s assistant, and he�ll even buy all of the candy beforehand!
Kido Jou: He�ll help out in the kitchen. But at one point unnoticed, Jou will end up in charge of washing all the dishes and cleaning up�
Takaishi Takeru: He�ll support Yamato with his performance and be the DJ who casually chooses the party music.
Tachikawa Mimi: She�ll vigorously begin to cook, saying �I�ll do it!� but it�s possible that she�ll grow tired of it midway?!
Takenouchi Sora: She would take up the cooking that Mimi got tired of halfway and end up in charge of the kitchen. The cute way that she arranges the food on the plates will be highly praised by everyone!
Yagami Hikari: She�ll be in charge of the photos and take tons of pictures with her hobby camera! She would steal sweets along with Taichi and eat them.

Since it�s almost Halloween, what kind of sweet would each person be?
Yagami Taichi: An old-fashioned donut fried to a dark brown color.
Ishida Yamato: I guess this idea is influenced by his French grandfather? Creme brulee.
Izumi Koushiro: Going along the same lines as oolong tea� Chinese food, dim sum, sesame seed dumplings!
Kido Jou: Made laboriously faithfully� homemade baumkuchen.
Takaishi Takeru: Bright colorful macarons in cute wrappings.
Tachikawa Mimi: Colorful but poisonous-looking?! jellybeans.
Takenouchi Sora: Quick to make in the morning, sweet french toast.
Yagami Hikari: Pound cake filled with cream (but low on the sweetness).

I'd be more okay with the 02 additions being missing/injured/whatever if it extended to Hikari and Takeru as well..... like why were those three fighting some big bad by themselves. It just doesn't make sense that 4/6 group members did poo poo by themselves and no one knows/cares??? that they failed.

It reeks of pandering, and not the kind that would make me happy.

Huh, kind of surprised that the next movie is going to focus on TK and Izzy. I figured TK and Kari would share the movie seeing as their digimon are similar and all.

I guess the next one will be Kari and Sora's turn for megas?

I could not be happier. A friend and I were just saying that since TK and Izzy apparently talk to each other, maybe they'll have a movie together which would mean that Sora and Kari have their own movie. We laughed. It would never happen. Kari and TK are joined at the narrative hip. Still, we sighed wistfully at the idea of a lady-focused movie.

I know it�s only the first episode, but story wise this is going to blow Adventure 1 out of the water. Obviously they know the amount of episodes they�re getting this time so they�ve planned it better.

Some things I loved:
- The music!! Everyone loves a good Bolero, but the score when Tai was entering the digital world was just beautiful. So adventurous.
- Taichi�s act of courage is what throws him into The Net. He�s a 12 year old boy, theres no way he can stop a moving train but he has to do SOMETHING. I�d love it if all the kids get thrown in because they do something to activate their crests (though what did Matt do to already be hanging around in there lol, hug someone?)
- Taichi just like punching and throwing a digimon?? I always thought he would be the kind of Rowdy Boy that would Fight and thank GOD we�re finally getting that
- I feel like everyone�s characters are already so much better defined (except Kari, but what else is new). Izzy was awkward and shy, but really happy that Tai was so welcoming. I hope they keep the adoption plot.
-Matt said loving nothing but they already established the rivalry vibes better in one shot than they did in all of Adventure 1
-$ :homebrew:

$ Mimi Tachikawa-Gates $ :homebrew:

$, the absolute ultimate princess that none of you peasants deserve. I�m GUESSING that if you thought she was annoying and spoiled when she was lower middle class, Adventure 2 Mimi, daughter of a billionaire, is going to gently caress your poo poo up. I can�t wait to see that little bitch again. :3:

If every character gets an introduction episode it could be like episode 5-8 until I see my daughter again :negative:
