Wasn't Tamers and to an extent Frontier already a mature take on Digimon already?

Time to see the end result of my childhood interests trying to be like my current interests.

I CANNOT wait for this to get subs!!!

It won't surprise me if Saban dubs Digimon Universe soon since it's the Digimon made for younger kids to buy toys while Tri is for the older fans.

Fusion flopped hard enough that they didn't even do Hunters. I doubt they're all too eager to pick up a new Digimon.

Well there is an english dub coming i just don't think Saban is behind it.

I remember Saban has control over the Digimon series outside of Japan. Digimon Fusion seems to be dead, but I think they will probably air it on Nick Toons.

So far i don't know what to make of Digimon Universe, it seems okay so far but there's this vibe of 'let's be Yokai watch!' that sticks out to me.

Yeah, I've seen a few clips and the show just screams Yokai watch, it dosen't even feel like a traditional digimon show at all.

i watched the first two episodes of DU Appmon and i enjoyed it. i thought it was pretty cute, it looks like it might be going the Xros route for how it handles Digivoltion but ill wait and see.

I blame Saban for having Fusion bombed. They didn't bother to market the show and no one knew that it was on Nick until the week after it aired. The toys didn't get release until very late into the show. With Power Rangers, Saban always have commercials for it on Nick and I see toys ads for Power Rangers on other kids networks like CN. It makes me sad that Saban failed to make Digimon more relevant like they did with Power Rangers.

If the new Digimon show does not get dub from Saban, I wonder who can pick it up? Funimaton has no interest with Digimon, I was told that Toei offer Xros Wars to them when it was airing in 2010. They don't seem to be into toy driven shows expect for Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On.

Duno why toei just license it with there usa branch. I mean they can hire studiopolis to dub show

I don't mind Saban dubbing Digimon since they make shows for kids and Digimon is a show for kids. The dialogue in Seasons 1 and 2 are very cheesy, but that's how most anime dub for kids was like back then. Haven't seen the dub for Xro Wars, so I can't comment on it. The dub for Season 3 (Tamers) was pretty good in my opinion.

Digimon Universe episode 3.

I like the monster of the week in this one. A video game Digimon that just wants to be loved.

I've finally gotten the chance to start watching AppliMonsters recently...well over a month after it started. Probably better this way. Still have one episode to catch up on, but what the hell, I have Opinions.

I feel like this could be a perfectly halfway decent show if only it wasn't so horribly directed. Unfortunately, it is so horribly directed. So, so horribly directed. I mean...it's not like it would be impressive, with how it's been so far, but the horridly sloppy way it's all put together is a major detracting factor. It makes everything, even the good things, come out through a weird filter and it's just...eh. I don't like it. Maybe I'm just crazy and making it out to be more than it is, but I don't like it at all. The director doesn't seem to have any sense of timing or understanding of how to do scene transitions. It's just...really distracting and thus not great.

So far it mostly feels like Hunters redux, minus the "following up on a far superior series" part, though unfortunately also without the consistent art quality and competent production parts. Like...seriously, it's just Hunters. Everything about the structure of the show is literally just Hunters. Even the whole AR field thing is just DigiQuartz, and the way the monsters are just beaten to be collected for kicks is also lifted from Hunters. Not that Hunters invented these concepts, but considering it was the last installment into the series the fact that it feels so similar isn't ideal. Especially because Hunters wasn't even good.

Our protagonist is pretty much the polar opposite of Tagiru, however. Which is not necessarily a good thing, despite Tagiru being kinda generic. Haru is just...kinda milquetoast. He's mostly unexciting and lacks any real endearing or interesting qualities. The show tells us he's a nice guy and I guess we're taking it at its word. He seriously has just been sort of there and occasionally acting as the story demands. And Gatchmon is, well...pretty standard as main partner Digimon go. Nothing we haven't seen before. Also unexciting. I do have to say I like the path his voice actress has gone through with this franchise though. She's gone from the mc's little sister in Savers, to a supporting General's partner Digimon in Xros Wars, to now being the main partner mon in this show. Pretty cool.

One good thing about the show, however, is that Haru is not the only main character. Or...at least he shouldn't be? For all I know it could take another page from Hunters and only focus on the mc while leaving everyone else on the sidelines, but eh, I can hope. They're taking their time to introduce the other characters, which I don't really mind. Eri's debut episode wasn't all too different from the rest in overall structure, but it's obvious that the show won't really come together until the main characters do. It was a lot more entertaining than the first four solo Haru episodes were, so we'll see.

And I've only seen her in one episode but I actually really like Eri. She's not at all what I was expecting, neither a cliched tsundere or straightforward tomboy, or a typical smiles and sunshine idol character. She's got a few elements of all that (mostly the last one) but the way she's portrayed is as just a bit of a weirdo, and a bit of a weirdo is just about the perfect amount of weirdo to be. She's rather entertaining. Dokamon is...not bad? He's not bad, but I am kinda disappointed that his debut fight was upstaged by "let's give Gatchmon an upgrade!" The only redeeming part is I think they only did that as a "they can do this! buy our toys!" thing and we'll never seen them to that again. Eri and Dokamon will hopefully be allowed to actually act on their own next time.

Kinda curious where the show will go forward with these two, actually...she's the second to be properly introduced, and the Blue One, to boot. Her partner mon is even clearly at least partly based on V-mon. Which should mean, the way Digimon usually goes, that she should be a big main character like Haru. On the other hand, she's The Girl, and The Girls have historically rarely been treated that well by this franchise. But eh, we've got a meek main character and the girl is the blue one. From what I hear there's also a good chance all the main four could reach the final forms. So, hey, shit, let's be Tamers, I don't mind! Prove me wrong, Applimonsters!

I'm kinda like 90% betting on it being a more traditional two-person focus show and Rei being the true deuteragonist though.

Anyway, an aside, but: not sure how to feel about the fact that they're apparently using CG for everything above the standard Appmon. It looks fine for the armored looking guys, like DoGatchmon and Scorpmon (Scopemon?) but the human looking ones are weird. Just...no thanks, buddy.

...Anyway. That's me rambling as I tend to do.

So yeah. This show. Pretty average at best so far. But hopefully it gets better.

The songs are pretty good, so that's something.

But! Oh yeah I almost forgot about this but.

I don't know if it has affected my perception of the show at all, but by god, CakeSUB is shit. I appreciate that there's a dedicated group working on this, it's better than nothing, technically speaking, but it's frankly almost too awful for words. That's hyperbole, but still, it's really bad. It's the most bizarre combination of "we're gonna take massive liberites with the dialogue," "we're gonna flat out get a lot of translation wrong," and, just for the shit of it, "when the characters say "de gozaru," we're gonna fucking include that in the subs. And what do you mean "no" indicates possession in Japanese?!? NO JITSU""

These subs hurt my soul. They are so bad. When I start feeling like I could do a better job, even with my own shit understanding of Japanese, is when I just have to call it quits. Guess I'm gonna be adding Applimonsters to the number of series I have to watch raw.

I was hoping Cruchyroll would stream the new Digimon show. They did stream Adventure Tri and Xro Wars.

I forgot Appli Monsters was a thing for a while, mostly since I never got around to starting it.

For those that have, how's it been? Still pretty different from traditional like first impressions I saw?

I haven't started it because I haven't heard anything good enough about it to make me wanna give it a try :lol

Honestly, even if the show was good enough to go out of your way to watch at the moment (which I wouldn't say it is, but then I've fallen behind and there's like three episodes I haven't seen yet), I'd say it still wouldn't be worth it until a better sub group takes a go at it. Unless they've improved exponentially over the last three weeks, CakeSUB is just...not good. There's no reason they should make as many mistakes/change things as much as they do. You're only half watching/getting the same show with their work.

This show is Yokai Watch with a Digimon Hunter skin so if you don't like either of the shows (I hate Yokai Watch) then this show is not going to be good for you.

I been using kissanime to watch this so I don't pay attention on who is subbing this but wow if I was not a huge digimon fan I would of stopped watching this. All the human main characters are not good and the show lay out is also not good. The appmon are passable but I have to know. WHY PUT DIGIMON IN THE TITLE?

They don't really talk about the main villain till episode 9. Why does haru get 4 episodes to himself when he is soooooo boring while the other two only get 2 to explain the way they are. Also I sugguest skipping the yellow's two episode especially the second because there is just so much stupid and just asking questions like

Why make a fake famous youtuber so yellow will start to freak out about his popularity on youtube? Why not tell yellow that you found his videos are getting replaced?

I hope this show is not a long one. Aso this is suppose to have toys for it but other than a video for the applidrive, gatchamon and dokamon I have seen nothing.

USA Digimon Adventure tri. Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Annoucement
Shout! Factory have acquired the North American distribution rights for Digimon Adventure tri. Parts 1 to 3. Shout! Factory are planning to release on both Blu-ray and DVD, along with digital. It will have both English and Japanese audio.

http://withthewill.net/threads/17004...al-Annoucement

Cool news. I miss out on the dub in theaters, so I can't wait to hear Tai's voice in English again.

suprised toei went with shout when Flatiron Film Company have the dvd right to the Digimon TV anime in the usa

Awesome, does that mean we can actually have our version now rather than it getting pushed back because it wasn't out in the US?

I assume Shout and Toei made a deal starting with the super sentai dvds and now Digimon.

I have the official DVD's of Digimon Seasons 1-3 on DVD. They are dubbed only, but I won't mind if we get a official Blu-Ray release of them with the Japanese versions. I recall that Toei did release Digimon on Blu-Ray recently.

So will the Tri dub be a straight dub or will there be jokes thrown in and censoring (Like Rosemon's tits bouncing) like what they did with the original series?

Considering the DVD's will have a Japanese audio option I guess it's a straight translation.

I was told that the dub for Tri is very faithful to the Japanese version. Tri is made for the older fans. So no more censoring things, corny jokes and no more Saban/Disney added scores that were added to replace the original Japanese one.

Damn now I wish there was more swearing in the japanese audio so I can hear the dub voices tel someone to go fuck themselves.

Wait is it the original cast? it better be!

About half of the original cast is back.

Why? Digimon is a series mostly market to kids. I know Tri is made for the older fans, I think dropping the F word would be too random. Damn and Hell is mostly fine, but I highly doubt Digimon will ever have the F world ever be used.

It think it's more morbid fascination than anything to do with quality.

Basically, it would satisfy his inner 12 year old.

So Soushitsu is out.

I will say this: it's definitely in the top four tri. movies so far.

Less facetiously, I do think I liked it more than the last two, or at least it felt more eventful. Still a fair degree of drama I could have lived without, but eh.

Weird rapey not-Gennai docks the whole thing a lot of points tho.

And Patamon going ultimate was a load of nonsense. This was not in any way a Patamon/Takeru focused movie, so it came across as pretty random. Totally breaks the pattern of him getting to evolve last...

Also ended kinda abruptly but oh well.

Still not addressing 02 at all...

Also they used Phoenixmon even though I'm pretty sure Hououmon has always been its name even in English. Dang it, crunchyroll.

edit: also part 5 stuff.

Title is Kyousei (symbiosis)

Poster.

So Tailmon evolves into Ofanimon, which is laaaame, but it's Ofanimon Falldown Mode, which means it's the bad end evo. Hopefully the right one is Holydramon. I really can only hope.

Nope phinexmon was always the English name dating back to the old digimon TCG http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/...20081201082150

The ORIGINAL dub name was Phoenixmon, from back with the original Digimon World, and associated games... I don't know when they reverted to Houohmon, but I'm pretty sure it was either circa Frontier or Savers.

Hmm, alright then. I'll admit I just based that off the fact that that's what the Digimon Wiki uses (since that one's localized).

Guess they're just being consistent...in their inconsistencies. Eh.

Pretty minor.
