I still feel that it worries too much about setting up the sequel that the movie alone just feels rather weak. While it didn't fill me with as much dread as I anticipated, it also didn't quell my fears.

I have a hard time identifying Mao(Luka/Gokai Yellow)'s voice.
I can definitely identify Junya(Gai/Gokai Silver)'s voice but Mao's voice feels different from her Gokaiger days. So already in episode 1 they have confirmed the existence of the 02 digidestined and I wonder if they will ever make an appearance again. As much as the first eight are the protagonists I personally liked the digidestined from 02 and it would be great to find out how they are missing in action. The way they teased it already on the first five minutes of episode 1 got me wanting to know more about their whereabouts.

agreed. also MAO voice Hikairi Taichi sister and she got really good a voice acting.

i mean eppisode one was slow but after that it did start to bulid up and mystry like you said about 02 cast MIA mean they might be traped or some thing in the digital world. and have no way back at this point time. caure remeber time move diffrently to real world and digital world. plus it further confired when we see Takeru and hikari digivice being there 02 ones.

Alright, I'm halfway through Saikai. Really enjoying it. All those evolutions hit all the right nostalgia points. And the cg isn't half bad for once. Toei has come a long way.

Kinda bugged me that CR is using the term "digidestined" considering that they've otherwise avoided all other terms from the dubs, but eh. I guess 02 made it so it's a viable canon translation, but I still wish they'd stuck with "chosen children."

Also I...guess they changed Piyomon's name to Biyomon? Like. Weird. But whatevs.

I always thought it was Biyomon?

In the dub it was, in Japanese it's Piyomon. But in tri they're calling her Biyomon. Even when the romanization shows up during the evolution, the name that pops up is Biyomon...

Even though they're still pronouncing it Piyomon...

And...halfway through episode three....no! Fuck you, chrunchyroll. Her name is Tailmon, not Gatomon. I have ears, I know what they're saying. Come on. They're not calling the humans by their dub names, why are they doing this? Fricking crunchyroll. Even though I have the subscription, I'm tempted to just download this from somewhere else so I can tamper with the subs. This is some bullshit.

Pretty odd for CR to mix up dub and Japanese names. It would be like if CR sub Dragon Ball Super and use both Funimation dub and Japanese names. Like spelling Freeza as "Frieza" or saying "Kibito Kai" instead of Kaioshin.

Of all the shit Tri does, you're complaining about Tailmon's name, a character who's name is spoken aloud, what, 3 times throughout 4 episodes?

I didn't really notice the whole sub issue until tonight. When I watch all four parts last night, I was having too much fun to notice it.

I'm not complaining about tri, I'm complaining about CR's subbing of tri. And it's an issue because yeah, actually, when stupid subs get me all hot and bothered it breaks my immersion and I can't focus on the actual thing as much as I should.

But still, screw this subbing thing. Nothing pisses me off more when it comes to subs than arbitrarily changing characters' names. It's so unnecessary.

That being said, of the three episodes I've now seen, I...don't think I've spotted any shit. I'm enjoying all of it quite a lot. Taichi's side of the argument with Yamato and his concerns were pretty vague and thus sorta dumb, I guess, but other than that, pretty damn good so far.

Honestly, the only part of the sub itself that got to me was "Digidestined" since I've always disliked the term.

Ok, done with Saikai.

Liked it. Really hit on all that nostalgia, and the great animation and art quality was a wonderful thing to see. Lots of cool, nice, funny stuff here.

The fourth part wasn't quite as exciting as I would have wanted it to be, since a lot of the stuff in it is of course stuff we won't really understand until later installments. Also because Taichi continued to be a wet blanket for no real discernible reason.

The fact that none of the perfect or ultimate evolutions were shown was a tad hype killing. How am I supposed to get excited about cool transformations if we don't even see them? Really, that battle in general felt like it escalated kinda weirdly. I'unno.

Anyway, I guess they showed that "DigiDestined" website, so ok, I'm forgiving Crunchyroll for using that, I guess that kinda justifies it. (Still not letting the Gatomon thing go, though).

That being said, really now? Omegamon gets to stay Omegamon? Pull yourself together, Crunchyroll. How unsightly to be so inconsistent.

Well, obviously not that I mind. I just wish he wasn't the only one who kept his name. Even if I'm sure they only did it so people would catch on to the Alpha-Omega thing. Which, as things go, is both kind of a dumb reason and good enough for me.

Anyway, yeah, Saikai was cool. Looking forward to the rest.

edit: hey just saw that poster for the second movie. Vikemon and Rosemon and Imperialdramon...holy crap! So awesome. Would have definitely preferred Plesiomon, but this is still pretty much everything I wanted out of tri. Ultimates for everyone! So great. Can't wait for Tentomon to go HeracleKabuterimon or whatever. (also, defs hope they keep Tailmon's Ultimate as Holydramon, non-canonicity of hurricane touchdown be damned)

i dont think so toei treat hurrican touch down as a non cannon movie when they helped bandai manke the psp game said that warp digivolution in that game are cannon mean will be getting her human angle mega form

for mega seem to going by the games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx3AoqinpX4

Yeah, I know it's not really considered canon, that's what I meant. I should have said non-canonicity I guess.

But yeah, I guess those choices are logical. I still really hope it's Holydramon, though, monstrous dragon cats beat bishoujos with wings any day of the week.

Yea but doubt it strongly cause remember reading some were that toei class the game warps cannon not that films

I never liked Magnadramon, Orphanimon fits Gatomon better IMO.

I also completely missed Paildramon Dragon Mode on the cover for the next movie, so we might find out more about the02 kids next time.

I do not like Ophanimon. I know she's going to become Ophanimon, but I'm not a big fan of her. Oh well.

I'm really hopeful the other characters reaching Ultimate is treated with grandiose and not just them going "Oh, HerculesKabuterimon? That's neat."

Adventure tri is already out on Crunchyroll?

Yes, but if you are a free user it won't get unlocked til next week.

I mean, I like Angewomon, and I don't dislike Ophanimon (she was alright in Frontier), but it's my firm belief that we need more dang Piyomons. Piyomon is the one and only female Digimon of a main character whose evolution line didn't go through that bishoujo line crap. Even more so if/when she goes Hououmon. There are way too many cute humanoid """"monster"""" girls in Digimon, and it honestly gets old.

Again, dragon cats are way cooler than chicks in cosplay. They always have been and they always will be. I want more of my digital monsters to be monsters.

Ophanimon in Frontier was fine, but that was as a character. I just don't like altering Tailmon's final form just because it's sexier than cat dragon thing.

As for female Digimon as a whole, that's just how it is, unfortunately. I was going to bring up Antylamon in Tamers, but then I remembered it was originally male in Japan.

I just like Ophanimon for being an Angel.

Ditto, Ophanimon just makes more sense to me as Tailmon/Gatomon's mega form seeing as it naturally progresses from Angewomon.

It's like if Palmon's mega form progressed from Lilymon to like...a giant piranha plant creature instead of Rosemon. Like yeah, plant theme, but it's way too jarring a change.

Cat - Cat - Angel - Dragon Cat
We know Tailmon's full evolutionary family. How is Ophanimon the natural progression when Angewomon comes out of fucking nowhere and actually breaks the natural flowing chain?

How is Angewomon not counted as "Too jarring of a change" in comparison to a piranha plant being in Palmon's evolutionary line?

Plotmon's more of a puppy.

It's always looked so generic mammal that I associated it with a cat, but I guess I can see where you're coming from.

I think the thing for me is, it's not even like they actually evolve from their Perfect to Ultimate forms. It's warp evolution, so they're jumping straight to the finish from Child level (seeing it this way makes stuff like WarGreymon make way more sense, imo). Maybe Holydramon isn't the best followup to Angewomon, but it sure is a decent evolution for Tailmon or Plotmon.

And even if it was, I don't really believe that the transition from angel to cat dragon would necessarily be any more jarring than the transition from cat to angel.

While we're on the subject, I really don't like Rosemon either. Lilimon is a cute flower fairy and a good form for Palmon, but I really don't see the voluptuous plant tentacle lady with slight bondage themes as a good fit for Palmon's character. Her entire design seems to be all about being sexy. It's kinda gross, and it actually makes me a little uncomfortable. Not that I'm saying she should turn into a pirahna plant, but...I'd probably still like that more. Oh well.

Well, there is MarineAngemon if you don't like Rosemon.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130402185858

Yes, Lilymon can apparently evolve into this.

To be entirely honest, I just don't like Rosemon because Lalamon used it as her final form first (Rather, in animated media, at least) :lol
Entirely petty, I know.

If people disliked Magnadramon/Holydramon evolving from Angewomon, people would be pissed if Lilymon became MarineAngemon :lol

According to Wikimon, Lilimon can evolve into Holydramon as well.

Here it is! the solution! Angewomon and Lilimon just have to jogress into Holydramon. Bam, goodbye all my complaints. :0

Anyone want 02 on Blu-ray?

http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000101082/

I can just feel Matrix's anger at this.

I'd forgotten how silly Ken looked as the Digimon Kaiser.

That is very silly.

It's a 12 year old playing Overlord, of course he'll look silly. :lol

I am just so...So...So happy...

I'm not angry

You mean it's not a classic villain design for the ages?

Did 01 and Tamers got a blu-ray releases in Japan too?

11 year old.

Very mature.

I agree. I feel that Magnadramon fits better by showing off both sides of her evolutionary lines, the beast and the holy parts. Just making her a female Seraphimon I find to be incredibly boring, and insulting in its own way.
