As of right now looks like a step back from Savers.
"YOUR JOB IS TO RECLAIM THE GREATNESS THAT WAS TAMERS" "Right and... How are we gonna do that?""I HAVE NO IDEA!"
Savers was a step in the WRONG direction.I blame Frontier for that, cause who WOULDN'T be thrown off on what's good after that.
>>40819I... Kinda liked some of what Frontier had.... Namely a sufficiently intimidating villain.
I'm surprised by this. I thought Bandai would abandon Digimon and focus on new IPs. It can't still be popular enough to make money like a kids' toy/game franchise needs to.*Now, you can't really tell if a series will be good or not based on one promotional picture, but I'm going to try anyway. The art style looks more like the old Digimon, which is a welcome change from Savers. I'm a bit worried by how busy everything looks, though. I mean, older Digimon had lots of detail, but the basic designs were relatively clean for the most part. Here, it looks like they're attaching too many accessories to the 'mon. Just look at the new Agumon replacement: he's got headphones, a Gundam-style headcrest, legwarmers, and a multi-clawed staff weapon. Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon were all pretty basic dinosaur-things with one or two distinguishing features, but they were all very distinct from each other, and from other 'mon. These new Digimon look less like Digimon to me, and more like every other Yugioh/Beyblade/Bakugan/Whateverthefuck monster design out there.Ah well. We'll see how this turns out. I liked the way the first Savers artwork looked, and ended up dropping it after ten or so episodes. I'm worried that this looks generic as fuck, but it could turn out to be something else entirely.*Not trying to piss on anyone's nostalgia here, but it's the simple truth that franchises like Digimon are created to sell toys/games. They can be great in spite of this, but they would never be made without the greed of toy company execs.
>>40830Digimon's a fairly stable popular franchise. It's not as big as Pokemon, sure, but what is?
I'll wait for a trailer or something before deciding if I'll watch it or not.
The image makes me wonder if there is going to be just one kid this time around with only a bunch of digimon and an obvious combined transformation looming in the middle. I don't know if that would work but I'm curious enough they're trying a 6th incarnation to see what this mess is all about.
Savers was actually pretty good, from what I saw. Frontier was shit, and if this show is trying to reclaim the glory of Tamers, more power to it.
I didn't like Frontier for dropping the Digimon partners, stupid idea.Savers was kinda nice at first but I didn't like the new art style and it quickly turned into generic anime trio which turned me off. I dropped it quickly.This seems to be getting back to the roots, so I'm positive.I like the group dynamics in the show, so I hope it doesn't cut off on neither children or Digimon .
Very don't know if want.On the one hand, Savers had an interesting starting premise, but it felt like it quickly skipped what made the others good in favor of trying something new. There's nothing inherently wrong wtih that, but it set us up for something a little disjointed from expectations. My opinions on Frontier was that I did feel the villian was the strongest thing that series had going for it. Cherubimon and everything that came with him was pretty wicked, but the rest of the show left a bit to be desired. And I fucking HATED THAT DAMN OPENING SONG. GOD it was awful.Tamers is a beast, and I mean that in every good way.What I'm seeing of this series so far doesn't remind me of tamers though. It looks like a cross between season 2 (which has its up points, but mostly I don't like it.) and Savers. So.... I'll just wait and see.
Just to remind people, this comes out July 6th.
>>44572HOLY FUCK DOES THAT LOOK AWESOME OR WHAT.
>>44592 ... was that... was that an Omnimon made of a robotic guilmon, a Drill-Lynxmon, and a clanky metal-kabuterimon? and did they combine akin to the megazord?I don't think I have words for that.
Who got Power Rangers in the Digimon?! Dammit, we keep them in seperate containers for a reason!
>>44572 So it is one kid with a super omnimon transformation. I still need to know more about the plot before I say anything but it looks like they're following the story of themes of the games this time. Also THE COLORS, OH GOD THIS ANIMATION IT’S SO VIVID.
>>44617 Well gee, I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
>>44692You're grounded mister!
>>44572Please don't let it be just one kid.Also, classic mecha Digimon, don't know if want.These villains in the background looks awesome. Fuck yeah, giant elephant, minotaur and metal Monchromon thing
... Um...
>>44747GODDAMN IT
>>44747>SHOCKING NIGHT>FUCKING NIGHT
>>44749Yeah see, that's what I was "um"ing about.
>>44747It even had the male/female symbol thing.Jesus, who makes these backgrounds.It's like that bit of in-series code in the back of an episode of Beast Wars that said "Fuck you Ian".
>>44747FUCKING GODDAMN FUCKING ATOMIC RAAAAAAAAGEWho has the screencap of the epic Matt ragethread from old /co/?
>>44754This is the closest thing I could find:http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=12236547&x=Digimon+RAGE
>>44755And this.
>>44747Dammit Matt, if you're gonna break BROtocol at least take her to better places than the "NEIKD STAR: SHOCKING NIGHT FUCKING NIGHT" concert.
>>44747See, for a minute, I thought it was TK.That gives the image entirely new connotations.
>>44747I cannot muster even an iota of anger.
>>44747OH FUCK YOU SEASON TWO MATTSeason one Matt is BRO tier.Also:>Check background>Heineken>Shoking Night, Fucking Night>Rock & RoolAhhahahahahah, oh wow.>>44754I wish I haven't lost my my screencapped threads folder. But you can try finding it in 4cahnarchive, there are like three or four screencaps threads archived.
>>44754I have this.
>Sup faggots, my name is Matt, and I hate each and every one of you.>>44747He's taking her to a DMC concert? That's fuckng metal.
ill just leave these here.
>>44789I can't wait, I can't wait. Any guesses for the bullshit reason they'll all be together?
damn it, i keep forgetting this one.
>>44793 Just watch it turn into a one piece sports special. Of course, that wouldn't have any complaints from this quarter, the OP sports specials are AWESOME.
>>44794They fixed the digimon+power rangers aspect from Frontier. Fuck yeah.
>>44798no thats like a DNA digivolution. thats 2 or 3 together if i remember right.
>>44798or perhaps i misunderstood that.
>>44801Yeah, I think he means they got ride of Frontier "the kids become the Digimon" thing, even though he that already happened with last season.
>>44809ah, ok.
tee hee
>>45761It's not like people weren't already making Gurren Lagann jokes. But now with the appearance of this Starmon, I get the distinct impression they're doing it on purpose.
>>45778Didn't the 3rd season have an Evangelion-inspired villain?
>>45783I don't really see how the D-Reaper had anything to do with Evangelion.
>>45768So, I'm betting the huge dude on the right there is the Big Bad Evil Guy.
Just finished watching the ep. First impressions:- Fight scenes are more actiony this time around. Then again, it could be exclusive to the pilot ep.- They actually go the digital world early. Please let this be a sign that it'll be more similar to season 1.- Fusion digivolutions looks like it'll be prominent/common. So does that mean each kid gets 3+ partners? Or that the goggleboy gets an inordinate amount of attention, AGAIN? Do not want.
I can't find a source that will go faster than 30kb/s, it's kinda nightmare-ish
Hmm... it seems that digimon rank is going to be less relevant, if at all. Kinda breaks the usual structure in ways I don't think I like. Time will tell how it turns out.I hope the other kids get Digimon that do something and get fair amount of development
First episode is pretty... generic. Nothing really stood out all that much. Still, it's just the first episode, so it can't be expected to instantly win everybody's hearts.
Just watched the first episode. >>45948"Pretty generic" about sums it up. Hoping the next episode slows things down a bit to explain what's going on rather than throw more things at us.I also wish they'd tone down on the bright colors goddamn. The look reminds me too much of Sonic X or Beyblade. But I guess it's the best way to advertise something of its ilk.
>>45948Pretty much this, although it's not like the franchise has a history of great first episodes. If the first episode is reflective of the production values for the whole series, it could be a hell of a ride.
>>45973The next episode will be drawn with crayons and will be 85% stock footage.
>>45984It'll be just like old times, then!
