New Digimon Adventure anime


Recommended Posts

I see no reason to hype this at all.

This pretty much.

 

Each season gave me something new(mechanics, characters, digimon, etc) which is one of the main reasons I loved it. I find no season bad or better than the other; they each had their own charms. No doubt I'll check it out when it comes out, but they'll have to give me more to look forward to.

Click on "Skip", and you'll be brought to an egg. You can only click on it once a day, but apparently if it gets enough clicks, it will hatch and reveal some information.

OR you can pay to click it more than once a day, and at a certain point the eggraputre will happen and the egg will disappear, leaving only a shadow of where the egg once lay.

 

This is clearly a product of Ian Bogost.

Personally I'm not a tad bit excited about this, because I see it as a major stepback. The original 8 - with the exception of Hikari and Takeru, who were younger and, therefore, still had some potential to grow further - had already closed their personal arcs and moved on to become the mentors to the new generation - who, as the teasers seem to imply, are probably going to be mercilessly shoved to the background to bring back the exact same kids who had worked so hard to pave the way for them. It's like the coach of a soccer team suddenly decided to ditch its entire roster in order to bring him and his old colleagues from the "ol' good times" back to the field, when there's nothing more they could genuinely contribute with beyond giving assistance to the new players. And there's the risk of them making Taichi and the others' character development regress in order to try to avert the aforementioned problems by giving the audience a "reason" to stay invested in the series while also pleasing a few over-nostalgic fans.

There's also the whole 1000s of tamers bit that they need to work around.

Not exactly. The teaser I've see so far just refers to "Taichi. Seventeen. High School Days." 

It doesn't say it'll be exclusive to the first generation members. That part is just implied because it is the 15th anniversary of the first gen, but there's a good chance that the franchise won't disregard 02 from happening and will carry around its characters. After all, they are also part of Tai's life now, unless they got separated stupidly far from each other like Mimi.

Also, I think 1st year of middle school was a bit too early to be saying "I'm too old to do these things anymore", and that always bothered me from 02, especially after Davis was shown to have a crest of his own and therefore not need Tai's and Matt's (way to screw up on paperwork Ghenai). Of course, a stupidly unstable and deus-ex-machina-ish crest (refer to GoldenVeemon for it), but there was one exclusively for Davis nonetheless.

Besides, my personal favorite generation, Savers (AKA Data Squad) had main characters that were way older. It'd be a bit unfair for them not to have something to do. I'm just glad it wasn't them in adulthood because getting reminded of 02's ending is embarrassing.

 

Though, I get the main reason they were replaced when the Digimon Emperor was around:
Digimon can't evolve, but we have a few species in our pool that were able to get this pseudo-evolution kinda thing (Armor). Unlucky for the 8 of you, only the 2 younger of your group have Digimon compatible with said pseudo-evolution method. Yes we know, that is a very convenient pattern for a second series to start, right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Digimon is at it, I wonder if they'll ever make an ova or something about when Ken was infected. That kid that appears in Tamers seemed to be a sort of mentor, so there's a lot of curiosity from me to that.

Point taken, but I still find jarring that Taichi will resume his role as the leader of the Chosen Children long after he passed the torch to Daisuke. Whenever that happens in a series I follow, it just feels like a huge stepback to me, as it was the case with the Boo Saga in DBZ, where they repeatedly hinted at Gohan assuming the role of Earth's Champion only to shove him aside in favor of Goku. The way they did it - having Gotenks screwing up HARD when Gohan had been keeping the upperhand throughout all the fight up to then - didn't help matters either.

 

But, TBH, I'm curious to see how their updated artwork will be.
