I think we can agree that Saban didn't give Digimon music as good as the music they gave the Power Rangers. As much as I'd like a song as good as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers for Digimon, it didn't happen. That said, I wonder if the Disney music was any better.

They're still making Digimon games in Year Of Our Lord 2015? The last one I knew of was Digimon World 4. How many have I missed and were any of them worth looking at?

Rudoku posted:Digimon World DS, it's sequels Digimon World: Dusk and Dawn, another one that was kinda lovely (World Tournament I think). Those are the ones that came out in the U.S. There's a shitload that never left Japan. Apparently, one of those games that never left was a PSP RPG of the entire first season of Digimon that included everyone's warp evolutions. I think I'm going to cry because this is never coming to the states.

This is kind of a perfect combo: Do we have any real confirmation the release is in April? vivisecting posted: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.

The_Frag_Man posted:Hi, if I wanted to give this series of shows a try should I start with Digimon Tamers? That seems to be the best one from what people are saying. Either season 1 or season 3 would be a good start. Both were made (though the former did get a sequel) to be standalone so you need no information going in. They are both great seasons with a good story progression, well developed characters, and some fun action. While I watched the dub growing up, it might be best to track down the original Japanese with subs as the dub is kind of cringe worthy in retrospec. Season 5 is another really good season, just saying, but is very shonen-like while the rest of the series isn't as much. Quick warning, all the seasons -- at least the ones I watched (1-5) --, are 52 episodes long. I just felt you should know.

Blaze Dragon posted:Uhh, what? Did you even watch Frontier? Write off Takuya and Kouji and you don't have a series anymore. You can write off the other four and have no changes whatsoever, the series is horribly main/rival-focused, far more than any Digimon series before, to the point of making everyone else powerless to feed them. Literally! That was the worst idea in the entire season.

Edward IV posted:Not only that, in one fight they had the depowered side characters provide support with, get this, a catapult. You're not missing much. They all follow the same format: Royal Knights attack a place from an earlier part of the season, whats-their-faces go mega while everyone else twiddles with their thumbs, the villains win yet don't kill the heroes and run off to the next place.

Unless they were chucking nukes or something, they would have been better off on the side lines providing commentary on the fight.
I could but again why bother.

Kurui Reiten posted:The best part of Digimon to me will always be the vaguely cthulhu mythos-ish depiction of data and the internet. I'm not sure why they haven't just plain explicitly advertised it as a more kid-friendly version of the SMT series, instead of just getting an artist or two. Social Links with Digimon, Fusion systems to get new ones, that sorta thing. Probably clean up. I think they have done the former in atleast one game and I distinctly remember DNA Digivolution basically being SMT fusion in the games.

dis astranagant posted:They gave everyone megas (though you have to go out of your way for them) in the tie-in Adventure retelling game so it'd be kinda silly not to have them. I hope they think that way because it sucks when only two of the get to shine in the last arc. This does introduce something: since it's going to be a shoot towards mega, what's next? Usually they aren't already almost at top tier at season start.

nine-gear crow posted:It's probably one of 02's famous continuity/don't give a gently caress errors. Because there's a flashback that explicitly shows the kids give up if not their crests, then definitely their powers at some point after Adventure, but before 02. Nothing of value would be lost except for, maybe, jogress evolution, but I think that exists elsewhere.

I remember thinking that it was awesome the comic was mentioning -- I assume, at least -- a software exploit in the game and making it a plot point. I assume, atleast. Also, it was so odd in V-Tamer how Tai was the main character, but his digimon was Veedramon.

This show has a problem with the protagonists getting their rear end kicked. Because it's not just the late-game Royal Knights, early on they're getting loving ruined by everyone to. So, it's suffering from Beast Machine syndrome?

Well, they did say Digidestined in their English teaser a while back so it's not that surprising. Funny enough, since I don't follow Japanese Digimon, I didn't even notice these inconsistencies since they are what I expect, know what I mean?

They don't have to be dead. Since they were the active heroes at the time, they tried to fix things first, got chumped, and were captured. Like, they can just be captured by the villain.

Just saw Determination. Man, that got loving brutal at the end. Poor Leomon. Dead in the human world is a bad fate. Also, the big ultimate evolution thing could have been done a little better. It was a little too compressed, but I get why they did it that way: the show has always been more about the character's personal growth than the action. That loving heel turn, btw. I though Mei might have been behind it, but drat. Also, anyone else see that smirk on Himi-whateverhernameis' face when Mei went loving Jason Vorhes on Leomon? There is clearly some poo poo going on there. So, if all the 02 guys have been turned evil, doesn't that mean a lot of them are a lot smaller of a threat since they can't even go Ultimate/Perfect without Hikari and T.K? I think my main issue with the series is that cutting what was clearly meant to be a 1:30 movie into four parts fucks with the pacing. Even if you watch them back to back, it's noticeable. It should just be put out as one movie in the west, as I'm sure it was in the East. I guess they had their reasons. Quicker to release in chunks? The boob jiggle on Rosemon was really unnecessary. How many more movies are we going to get out of Tri?
