Nothing compares to the What The Fuckery of the female Beelzebumon though. It's actually embarrassing that that's an official Digimon. Thanks to Tri I've gotten back into Digimon, I started collecting the original Super Evolution toys. Been only collecting for two months, I think I have a problem. I have Kabuterimon/AtlurKabuterimon too but he's not pictired as he came reeking of cigarette smoke that I'm trying to get rid of. The best figure by far is the Jogress Evolving XV-Mon and Stingmon. It's actually quite amazing how accurate it can be both seperate and as Paildramon. Still trying to track down Gargomon/Rapidmon, Guilmon/Dukemon, Combining Omegamon and Armor Evolving Fladramon and Pegasimon for decent prices.

Everyone's complaining about fanservice and here I am remembering Lilymon,Angewomomon and Lady Devimon from the original series.

A good example of the annoying cheesecake Digimon seems to thrive on. Angewomon and LadyDevimon are both humanoid girls so when they Jogress evolve they have to get up nice and close and KISS because lesbians are SO HOT! Ugh.

I have never liked Angewomon, though. Digimon has always had their cheesecake characters, but LadyDevimon was nowhere near as prominent as people think. They only remember her because "The catfight between her and Angewomon was hawt." ...Or she was just a memorable character. Whatever. Dominatrix demons aren't really too rare in anime, but I guess it would be a lot of people's first introduction to them... Also, I used to have the Stingmon/XVeemon/Paildramon toy. It was awesome, but I lost it in a move. I'm envious of you

It's rather embarrassing that Lillymon is actually rather modestly designed in comparison to the likes of Mervamon.

We know what they want fans to thinks happening. As for the last part, that's nice and all, but doesn't have anything to do with anything. I'm gay and I can still identify bad fan service. |

Yeah, Lilimon doesn't count. She's humanoid, but not recognizably human. What I like the least are the mons that are literally just a human girl in cosplay. Those aren't even monsters, they're the sexy Halloween costume version of monsters. Lilimon is not that, and so she is good (it is for this reason also that i do not even mind, say, Ranamon *that* much). And her design and clothes are not emphasising fanservise at all (tri made her more shapely, because tri, but still). She's just a flower fairy. There are other examples, but not her.
Really though, Yellow Ranger brought it up, but Frontier is pretty stupid about it specifically. Ice bear excluded, the human spirit Digimon are vaguely human looking Digimon in armor...except for Fairimon, who is just some girl in her underwear. Then the beast spirits are all, as the name implies, more beastly and monstrous looking monsters...except Shutumon, who is just a more voluptuous girl in her underwear. Way to go Frontier. But yeah, it's always been a thing, doesn't make the fact that it keeps happening any less annoying though. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 03-16-2016 at 07:48 PM.. |

I wouldn't put Lilymon in the category personally, but don't get me wrong, it's been a thing since Day One.

So I'm some 9 episodes into Savers. It's decent ish, I gotta say. Something of a sausage fest though. It's all about Masaru except when it's about Touma, in which case it's about Touma, except when it's about Masaru. Yoshino has done jack squat in these nine episodes, and Sunflowmon has been completely ineffective the very very few times she's been called on to do Anything. Even the first episode that actually was about Yoshino, with the one idol dude, ended up being more about Masaru, and in the end she was unable to do a single thing.
All kinds of bullshit, this is. Not even Izumi had it this bad, and Izumi had it pretty damn bad. But, eh, I object to her treatment, but mostly on principle. If you can't even split focus in a matter even remotely resembling what one could call "equally" when there's just three main characters, you done fucked up somewhere. On the other hand, I'm not really losing a lot of sleep crying about not seeing more of her. As a character, she's fairly uncompelling (though I may think this as a result of her dismal treatment; if we hadn't seen a few more sides to Touma by this point I probably would find him kind of a bore as well. They need to let her actually do something before I can start caring, and they haven't let her, at all), and I really do not like her voice--I guess her va was new or something? She's not very good. (i just looked it up, yoshino was like her only role ever. explains a lot. is not encouraging for my hopes of her possible eventual improvement though). But eh, I can only hope this changes by the time Lilamon enters the picture. Which should be...episode 17? Man. And GeoGreymon evolves in 13? Jeez. Feels kinda early for Perfects to start showing up. Though looking it up I guess Tamers had them pretty early too. Guess I'm stuck thinking in Adventure terms. Guess it makes sense since they have to fit in not only the Ultimates but Burst Mode too for all of them... |

Though looking it up I guess Tamers had them pretty early too. Guess I'm stuck thinking in Adventure terms. Guess it makes sense since they have to fit in not only the Ultimates but Burst Mode too for all of them... I think part of what made Tamers seem like it waited a long time to introduce the Perfects was the fact that they used Evolution, especially early on, in general very sparingly. I think its noteworthy that while Growmon evolved into MegaloGrowmon in Episode 14, a mere 6 episodes after we saw Growmon for the first time, that was actually the first time we saw Growmon since his first appearance. Growmon was absent for 5 whole episodes and the episode after his first appearance he didn't even fight! Then after that we didn't see MegaloGrowmon again for another 6 episodes. Likewise Dukemon was missing for a good 9 episodes after his first appearance. Plus, like in Adventure, the existence of a new evolution didn't mean that you never saw the old evolutions again. Growmon didn't stop appearing once MegaloGrowmon appeared, in fact he only evolved in dire situations. Similarly in Adventure, MetalGreymon wasn't completely forgotten about once WarGreymon hit the scene. The same can not be said for Savers. GeoGreymon appeared in (I'm fairly confident on this) every single episode since episode one and once RiseGreymon appears you never see just GeoGreymon again. The evolution sequences in Tamers are designed to follow each other straight away with no cutaway so from the first time GeoGreymon evolves Agumon goes straight into RiseGreymon, skipping GeoGreymon. Heck, in the dub they even called it "Warp Digivolve" because GeoGreymon is never seen again. |
