Very surprise to see a theater release for the movie. I still remember seeing Digimon: The Movie in theaters back in 2000.

I appreciate it greatly, but I don't think they're thinking things through with this theatrical release. Digimon on its best day has no way of competing with the more-popular always-relevant Pokemon. People will more likely spend their cash on something like that than a cult-following franchise in America like Digimon. Not to mention how slice-of-life the film is & the fact that it's acting as a foundation for the future movies instead of being it's own beginning-middle-end story. I can find people being put off by it. I hope it does well, but I won't pretend it's gonna be like the reaction to the DBZ films in the United States.

That's a problem I have with the Japanese version too tbh.

Anime film screenings do fine on their own. DBZ's a case of wide-spread popularity in the states (even people who don't even know much about anime know what DBZ is). Having been to screenings for stuff like Madoka Magica, Love Live, Tiger & Bunny and Expelled from Paradise, I can tell you that they'll sell tickets no problem. Digimon fans are more plentiful than you may think.

I think the Japanese version is better, myself.
I just don't like the dub's idea of having both characters speaking in tandem.

I understand why (2 become one, so both speak for the individual), but it also kind of diminishes the idea (The individual doesn't have their own voice, so (s)he doesn't really exist, it's just two people steering one car)

Ultimately, my issue is just that Takato and Guilmon's voice coming out of Dukemon just doesn't fit. It's too high pitched for my taste.
Kind of like Goku's VA continuing to voice him in DBZ even though he's an adult.

Digimon has a lot of nostalgia value for the people that grew up with seasons 1 and 2. I see people on Twitter and Facebook that are pretty excited for the English dub for Tri. Not everyone watches things subs and people like myself do have a nostalgia attachment for the old dub.

What? I'm like, 99% fine with Tamers' dub. Aside from a few dumb lines sprinkled around, my only consistent issue is Gallantmon's voice

I'm not gonna even pretend to defend Adventure and 02, but Tamers dub was solid~

I just think Dukemon should have had a male voice.

Though to her credit his actress does make him sound somewhat regal unlike the dub.

The dub for Adventure 01 and 02 did had a lot of issues with them, but I still enjoy them for what they are. They did change the character names, did cut down the violence, bad voice acting and change the music but I still enjoy them. The English voices are just too iconic to me.

I mean if people can still enjoy the old DBZ Funimation dub with the replacement music, censorship on the violence, stupid story changes, the cheesy voice acting and cheesy dialogue then I can still enjoy the dubs for Adventure 01 and 02.

...No one's saying you can't.
