Thundervlux Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well let's see, I told you I was going to ban you if you didn't keep bringing it up so... I guess you technically got out of Dame Square. Not the way you would have wanted though. Sheesh, I was just asking, not moaning or speaking about the event. Maybe you should watch this and learn a catchphrase to use on me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnd1jKcfBRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm just skipping Xros altogether. Hopefully the next one will be better than Xros. We're aware of this. You've mentioned it like six times by now. We're also aware you've seen like, three episodes maximum. I'm not sure how you can argue if a series is 'better' than Xros Wars when you don't watch Xros Wars. So anyway... [spoiler= Episode 73] Hello throw-away-character of the day. I see you're a diver this time. How wacky. But no seriously, does every new character have to come paired with some annoying gimmick? Half the time they don't even get a personality outside of their talent. So anyway, Diver!Character finds a sunken ship in the ocean. This is oddly relevant to my Report, isn't it? Well unfortunately, Lord Cthulhu isn't impressed with her...Diving Ways, and blows her out of DigiQuartz. Oddly mild for an elder evil, but then again I guess pickings have been slim as of late. Diver!Character meets up with the Clock Maker, who seems to be channelling the Old Man from Savers. Clockmon reveals himself to the girl, so I suppose Diver!Girl becomes Diver!Hunter at this point. Opening. Yuu still looks improbably feminine. I'm reminded again how mismatched OmegaShoutmon, Tuwarmon and Arresterdramon look as a team. Now, we have Airu at the beach- Sheesh, she's really been getting some focus recently, hasn't she? Anyway, she's apparently there with family- hey are we going to get a look at the actual parents of the Hunters? That might be cool. Since Airu's not a major character, of course, the real main characters happen to be at the same beach, going fishing from the looks of it- perhaps the Clock Maker was ahead of the game? Taiki decides to go after a big fish after the other two declare their intent to, furthering my theory that Taiki actually has very little independent initiative. Airu, of course, only cares that Yuu happens to be here. Tagiru apparently did not know that fishing involved standing still for hours on end. Yuu notices his stalker is back, and even Opossumon is commenting on how freaking obsessed her Hunter is at this point. Yuu goes to confront her, and it appears that literally nobody in the group twigs that Airu has a crush on the guy. I'm not sure if that's because they're young or because they're just that naive. Meanwhile, Tagiru hooks a fish... which drags him into the water. Hey, attempted murder already, this can only go up from here. It's a shark, of course- or at least a digimon variety similar to one. Taiki tells Tagiru to drop the rod because duand swim back to shore- Oh, hello ChibiKamemon, nice to see you again! Anyway, turns out the shark is actually a Submarimon. Perhaps the partner of our Diver!Hunter? ...Yep, looks like it. Her name's Mizuki, which fortunately is less characters to type than Diver!Hunter. Both her and her partner come off as rather bland, of course. Airu tries to beg off on the grounds of not being a member of Xros Heart, but gets roped back in- apparently, Mizuki needs all the hunters she can find... Considering she had no way of knowing Tagiru was a hunter, I guess that makes this a ridiculously lucky coincidence for her. She has a treasure map. Tagiru doesn't know what a Treasure Hunter is. Taiki, like always, translates words from Japanese to Idiot Shonen Hero for his sake. Actually, it turns out she just cleans the bottom of the Ocean because environmentalism. And occasionally neat stuff. Yuu's interested and Airu is annoyed because he's speaking to someone female who isn't her. So we watch the cold opening again, this time with an actual line that added literally nothing to what we knew already. Goddamit show. Taiki and Shoutmon once again wonder who or what the Clockmaker is, and Mizuki finally just tells us that she wants the group to hunt what's obviously a Dagomon. Airu agrees to help in case there's cute treasure (???), but protests a bit too much that it doesn't mean she's joined them... I'm starting to wonder at this point why the Hunter Antagonists stick together in the first place now. Since nobody but Mizuki is licensed to dive, she's going to give them all a crash course. EXCITEMENT. The group reaches the dive point and I'm amused at how they all have personalized wetsuits that match their dryland clothing. Shoutmon Xroses with Chibikamemon and it appears Gumdramon intends to breathe using a snorkel and HOT BLOOD. I dunno. They appreciate the Japanese coastal wildlife for a few minutes, and Yuu proves his knowledge of marine biology. It looks like Gumdramon was serious about not needing to breathe; I wonder it that applies to all digimon? Anyway, they all look surprised to see an entrance to DigiQuartz this deep underwater. Personally, I'm weirded out that there's an open portal this far away from anything technological; have we seen any other naturally-occuring DigiQuartz gates that didn't come out of electronic equipment before? They sneak into the sunken ship graveyard, where Dagomon is trying to smash a barrier. It leaves and goes... somewhere after a minute, so Mizuki investigates, managing to break the barrier a little just by touching it- a heavenly voice tells her not to do that. MarineAngemon, perhaps? Dagomon notices this, however, and just like a Cthuli Pastiche should be able to do, lays some Compulsion on her to break down the rest. Taiki and the rest of the group arrive to snap her out of it. She tells the humans to help her break down the barrier (so they can get through), and like idiots they all do so without further debate on the matter. Dagomon, of course, was just watching from a few feet away while camouflaged; Shoutmon IDs him as the legendary Dark God of the Ocean, and it doesn't look like they're even going to TRY taking on this mofo in his element; they try to take shelter behind the barrier, but the damage they did was sufficient to allow Dagomon to crack it totally. They flee into the ruins hidden behind the barrier, Dagomon in pursuit, and end up in a grotto with a Plesiomon. Shoutmon IDs it as a legendary digimon that's 'hard to find'. That's... nice, I guess. Plesiomon is pretty pissed that they broke the barrier, and wants them to leave immediately... except for the Dark God following behind them. Unfortunately Mizuki is still Dagomon's thrall, and she attempts to hunt Plesiomon- Taiki intervenes by grabbing her forearm, which is a bit better than the Standard Female Grab Area, I guess. Dagomon emerges from the water and Airu snaps, Cho Shinkaing immediately and declaring she'll take down Dagomon with her trap attacks. That she hasn't had time to set up. I'm not sure Airu really grasps this entire thing, honestly. Anyway, Cho-Hakkaimon knocks down some stalactites onto the Elder Evil's head, and Yuu jumps to push Airu out of the way when Dagomon deflects them towards her; nether of them get crushed, but it looks like Yuu sprained his ankle. Plesiomon attacks Dagomon directly, and reveals the egg she was guarding. Dagomon apparently intends to consume the egg and the data of Plesiomon to get more powerful, and orders Mizuki to grab the egg. While Taiki resorts to increasingly more physical measures to hold her back, Tagiru gets the idea to try -shock of all shocks- actually fighting. Gumdramon Cho Shinkas into Arresterdramon, then Xroses with GigaBreakdramon into an awesome Arresterdramon-Drill-Tank. Taiki shouts a warning, and too late Tagiru realizes that GigaBreakDramon is ridiculously uncontrollable. Even Airu calls him out on that, and she's the one who thinks it's a good idea to pull out Parasimon for no good reason! Shoutmon tries to fight back Dagomon, but his attacks are just brushed back at this point; Taiki can't Cho-Shinka him because he's too busy trying to keep Mizuki back. Tagiru gets the bright idea to try manual override on GigaBreakArresterdramon like Puppetmon did, but trying to climb up it is like climbing a Colossus. Plesiomon and Taiki finally get through to Mizuki, and she sobers up. Taiki lets go of her shoulders, then gropes her breasts for about a minute- you should probably keep an eye on the perspective on those hands, Animation Company That Does This Show. Meanwhile, Dagomon makes a bid for the egg- but Tagiru's managed to get to the controls on GigaBreakArresterdramon's head and has Assumed Complete Control. The two Kaiju wrestle for a bit, but Plesiomon allows Mizuki to Xros her with Submarinemon- the Xros Up unloads directly into Dagomon's back, opening him up for a Giga Drill Maximum to shred him to pieces; Tagiru snatches the Dagomon data, and I'm amused at the idea of a DagoArresterdramon. Back on shore, Taiki is disturbed at the idea of a digimon wanting to absorb the data of other digimon -I'm sure he would get along just great with Rika- while Shoutmon is still concerned about the identity of the Clockmaker. Mizuki apparently returned Plesiomon to the cave to allow her to care for the egg, which is nice to see. Yuu's ankle is apparently all better- as it happens, Airu is pretty good with first aid. Mizuki's leaving, as third-tier Hunters tend to do, though she flirts with Taiki a bit as she leaves. Airu begrudgingly thanks Yuu for his saving-her-life thing earlier, but she returns to Tsuntsun mode the moment he tries to comprehend her NOT being an insane jerkass; we catch a glimpse of her family too, but they don't look like they have detailed designs so it's probably not going to be brought up again. Tagiru complains about not catching any fish, but Gumdramon points out that Dagomon counts- we fade out on a group laugh and an image of Plesiomon curled around the digiegg. SubmarinemonXZeekGreymon looks amazing, don't get me wrong. Next Episode: CARD GAMES ON HORSEBACK Thoughts:So, uh, why was Airu in this episode again? I mean, she didn't really DO much of anything. I guess it helps leaven her personality by pointing out she's not a colossal jabroni at all times.GigaBreakArresterdramon is amazing.All these drills remind me we STILL haven't seen Dorulumon again since the first episode! And even then he was just a Xros Up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexev Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I watched Xros Wars and I liked it, which proved Hydra right annoyingly buuut then the site I was watching them on pretty much had deadlinks for every video. So I stopped watching around the time where the main villian was that little fairy. @Thunder: Or you know, I could just tell you to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The main reason I hate Xros is the Xrossing I think its dumb and it makes me mad watching it. Unlike Nexev I had a site where I could get all the episodes to the show. You had to download them but they were great quality and had subs so it was cool.

The Warden Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 We did see Dorulumon, in the ep with SuperStarmon when Taiki and Yuu DX'ed Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Dorulumon and the Starmons, bypassing the rules to make Shoutmon X4.

Hydra of Ages Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I watched Xros Wars and I liked it, which proved Hydra right annoyingly buuut then the site I was watching them on pretty much had deadlinks for every video. So I stopped watching around the time where the main villian was that little fairy. Mhm, you should probably check around on a few sites- Deadlinks are a bit more common after the MegaUpload fiasco, but I think they've mostly been replaced by now. The Dark Generals saga gets a lot more epic as it goes as it goes on, and has some of my favourite character moments. Also Superior Mode, which even though the design was lazy, is win simply by concept (I will Xros ALL the digimons. ALL OF THEM.) The main reason I hate Xros is the Xrossing I think its dumb and it makes me mad watching it. What a mature critique. I'm certainly going to take your opinions seriously from now on after that well-thought-out justification. It's come to my attention that Tagiru has been collecting evil, Dark Digimon inside of his Xros Loader. Now someone answer this: Why would you ever use Gumdramon when you can just Reload the Dark God of the Ocean? Because he will kill you. No seriously, it's already been demonstrated that Xrosing with or Reloading unrepentantly evil Digimon is a bad idea. Just ask Airu how Parasimon is doing! Obviously Tagiru is JUST the one we need acting as Cthulhu's gaoler. We did see Dorulumon, in the ep with SuperStarmon when Taiki and Yuu DX'ed Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Dorulumon and the Starmons, bypassing the rules to make Shoutmon X4. Yeah, I just remembered that. Does it even count if he doesn't even show up in person? It was just his icon passing by for a second. Oh, no, we give him a construct and make him fight someone of 'our' choice. Would you give me a Noir if I volunteered to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Go ahead! Because in all honesty I couldn't care less what you think of my opinions or "Critiques".

If we're agreed, then, I will proceed to basically ignore everything you say/do after this point.

Nexev Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 So in a news flash I have begun the utterly cliche act of turning your silly iPods into a true piece of machinery. So far i've gotten a way to turn stray data from the remnants of special attacks into a form of currency which is being implimented into your Xrossovers. Thats what I'm calling them. Because its better then loader two or something. Currently working on a way to tie the abbility of spirit into more useful forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundervlux Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have a chance to fight for my freedom?! Oh thank sweet merciful Go- oh wait, I'm an athiest. Anyway... what will happen to me this time if I lose, and in what way will I be fighting?

The Warden Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 We'd have a construct prepared for the occassion, since no Digimon would ally themselves with you, not with that stink of death on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Construct? I don't know what you mean. But what kind of fight will this be? And what will happen if I lose? Do I get a forfeit or a punishment? And finally, if I win, would I be allowed another partner digimon. No disrepsect intended. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 The rules would be simple, you'd have to beat the opponent I choose with a Digimon construct, which is basically a virtual Digimon with any set stats, in this fight's case, 50000 to divy amongst HP, Str, End and Agi. If you win, you get to become a Hunter once more. Should you lose, you are to accept your place in Dame Square with grace and will STOP jabroniing and moaning, as it is REALLY getting on my nerves to hear you whine and do things like *whimpers*.
