Lore about Digimon is about as relevant to the franchise as the lte about Pokemon and makes about as much sense

Endorph posted:The Tamers dub was a big step up from the Adventure dubs. That's just a general problem with American children's media. It's not supposed to be dramatic or serious and any pause is seen as a break in the action or comedy.

Xros Wars and Young Hunters definitely aren't the in the running for the best Digimon series, but they're not really at the bottom either. There is some cast focus problems but that's not really anything new, particularly when the Digimon on the team are given as much spotlight as they were in Tamers. If the protagonists in Young Hunters were a little less insufferable, it'd probably go a long way to improving it.

Astro Nut posted:The various series do have minor ship tease moments, like the angry couple scene in Savers, and Olegmon calling Nene Taiki's girlfriend, stuff like that. But as said, minor stuff, usually just for the occasional gag more than anything else, which can also just be read as kids being awkward because kids. Minervamon X Beelzemon OTP

Montegoraon posted:Well, yes and no. The key point was that Ryo's mortal foe, Millenniumon, was the origin of the dark spore that made Ken a super genius and also turned him evil (as well as presumably manipulating his memory). The implication being that driving Ken to create Chimeramon, a precursor to Millenniumon, was the spore trying to recreate his old body. Which would have been an instant game over. So Ryo was basically part of a season to season metaplot that occurred through material outside of the series that never developed into its own?

Kurui Reiten posted:Oh, the outside materials definitely explain the entire thing. I just hadn't seen the original version of Our War Game or any of Revenge of Diaboromon until recently. I found it funny how these two Digimon, whom I remember being top tier and secret in a bunch of games and such, had fight scenes that boiled down to "Destroys literally thousands of Megas, then gets chumped by a single one later" and "fight starts, single face stab, fight over". Welcome to jobbing. It's like I'm really watching a tokatsu series!

Kuroyama posted:Mods, requesting a name change to KNIFE OF DAY. The edge of that name is razor sharp. Just finished it. The damnedest thing is absolutely no one mentioning the 02 cast. There's no mention at all. It's strange and a bit awful. It's clear that there are other digidestined in the world (I dunno what the literal translation of whatever they used was) given Takeru on the website, but no mention o the others. Poof! I guess Takeru's finally old enough to realize the social costs of all of that monster fighting in the city that they've been doing and it's left him a feeling a lack of courage. Jou's totally absent from the movie for the most part. Izzy (forgot his japanese name) is a loving genius and must be loaded now. Also, his mom still buys his clothes. Tailmon's voice is super jarring since I've never heard the original before. New character and their digimon are the targets of the digimon bad guys and the human organization it seems. I really dislike that plot development. I feel like this would've been better if it was paced as a two cour rather than as six movies broken up into 24 episodes.

Twiddy posted:Yeah the weirdest part of watching Digimon Tri was getting used to the JP voices and the lack of DIGIMON DIGITAL MONSTERS DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPIONS everywhere. Reminds me of when I tried to watch Digimon Tamers JP and the lack of nostalgic camp made it less enjoyable for me. Agumon sounded exactly like how a lizard monster might sound like.

ConanThe3rd posted:Who'd even dub Digimon : anyway? I thought Saban finaly retired and the setup they have/had for Tri/LE was not suited to TV dubbing. Dubbing is basically a separate question of airing now because of online streaming. Funimation still does dubbing as does at least one other company, but it's basically for their own services rather than being licensed out for broadcast. Burkion posted:Where would it even air? That's the awkward question. Anime doesn't tend to get picked up like it used to- it's all adult swim or Toonami generally. This is sorta the decade where niche stuff like anime which already had awful margins finally got largely shuffled off to streaming. CN via [as] via Toonami is pretty much the last bastion of broadcast anime save maybe for some very small or obscure channels that exist only in certain markets or in the weird parts of the satellite TV listings

We've got a long way to go with this series at least as it's meant to be 66 episodes (5 cours) so while the pacing has felt a little bit wonky pushing out all of the Adult and Perfect forms as quickly as possible, I think we're finally gonna get to actually have them get some proper interaction with each other. Or they'll just show off more digimon. Either/or. Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Blockhouse posted:Yeah but at the end of the day no one's going to want your merch if they don't like the show The principal audience for this is nominally still children, just reused with the Adventure cast for nostalgia bucks (and allows them to reuse some old assets for merch that they might've had lying around). It definitely doesn't breathe enough, but I can see how it'd keep an 8 year old boy entertained long enough from week to week to make them want toys or pencil cases or w/e of the stuff they saw.

dbzfandiego posted:The thing with this right wing stuff in the modern age is that the longer you are mired in it, the worse it gets there is a clear pipeline of radiclazation and I get the feeling people are reacting to how bad this can all become in not a lot of time, even now what we are seeing here is not a good sign. Even if it isn't radicalization towards American RW crankery, crank magnetism being what it is, it's not unlikely that he'd start falling into some kind of crankery that's adjacent to the one(s) that he's currently into

Larryb posted:Not a bad episode, Ruri (or is it Ruli?) has potential but isn’t quite there yet in my opinion (she’s fairly prominent in the OP though so that could be a good sign in terms of how much focus she’s going to get). Of the three digimon that's been encountered and defeated, only Mummymon seems to have seen the light in not causing trouble (at least not in mummifying people) while Clockmon and Dracumon have both sworn revenge. So I'm relatively confident that they'll all show up for a round 2 of sorts when the team gets the ability to send digimon back to the

The scene with Gammaon and the manjuu was extremely painful. Gammamon is basically a 5yo and having to explain death to someone that young seems downright impossible and also a shortcut to tugging at my heart.

Geostomp posted:The show really does seem intent of using the sheer menace of the random digimon to make up for the current lack of overarching plot in these early episodes. Still, they are using a lot of powerful Digimon so soon, meaning that they plot villains will really have to step up the threat level since Ultimates will be old hat by the point they show up at this pace. A lot of the Ultimates they show aren't necessarily beaten. Generally they're just driven back enough to listen to reason or flee and that's sufficient enough for the team

1st Stage Midboss posted:Adventure: definitely had its moments, and it's not surprising that they'd want to dub it since a 67-episode show in a proven franchise is probably an easy sell. Now it's over, it feels like a show very suited to running in repeats forever on TV - you could change the channel to whoever's airing it, catch an random episode or two, and enjoy them as much as if you'd seen every episode. The ending was kinda silly but it's pretty par for the course for this series.
