I kinda have mixed feelings about the new designs.

It's cool we're moving past noodle people but those designs are too generic for Digimon. Where's the flair? Are we that against having characters looking like something cool?

Here's hoping the Digimon have OK desgins.

Considering that the characters look like they are now, the Digimon are going to look WAY different and I don't think I'm going to like it really.

I like the new art style of the characters, but the Digimon have to look flashy and not like they had just came out of the anime movie: Wolf Children.

(The art style of that movie is kind of similar to Tri's art style).

I kind of doubt it, the franchise has had different styles for the humans amongst all the animes and games, but the digimon species always look more or less the same.
Adventure, Tamer and Xros Wars have way different casts, but Leomon still looks like Leomon no matter where he is.

Its not the designs that will look different and more the animation style. Look at the Digimon movies for example. Especially the ones done by the same guy who did "Summer Wars" the Humans look nothing like in the show but the digimon do and they blend in well because of the way they are animated.

But the general design similarities are still there. To me, the only Digimon series that actually broke it was Data Squad/Savers, but even there, the characters were distinct enough that it wasn't noticeable.
Here, Sora is just Kari wearing different clothes.

Concerning the Digimon themselves, I think they'll be fine. I doubt we'll be seeing huge differences in their general design (Unless they bring back the giant Greymon design from the movie).

I hope you're right, Algo.

That's what been bugging me as well. Will they incorperate the all 6 warp evolution from the PSP game in this

The character designs look fine to me since I was able to tell who ever one is. I'm looking forward to this so much since it's good to see the original characters back. I do hope that the Adventure 02 cast return as well since I always loved Veemon as a kid.

Oh I have no worries about the Digimon. I expect some redesigning maybe (and the animation style difference not counting), but a Digimon is pretty recognizable. Especially the originals.

But yes, I was meaning that out of context, the gang is pretty darn anime generic and unrecognizable. Even with context... They still kinda are. And ugh, you're right Matrix, Kari and Sora are totally the same character wearing different clothes there.

I wonder if Saban will get the original voice cast back if they dub the show in the near future? It's a shame that we have to wait until at least 2017 for the show to come out in the US. Saban did a terrible job on marketing Fusions since there was hardly any promotion for the show and no one knew it was out until a week later. Saban does a better job on promoting Power Rangers then they do with their other franchises.
