Digimon, anyone?

Hope this kick is legal...

Nostalgia Critic anyone?

Oh awesome! What a great post to see when I noticed this thread for the first time. <3

"And now we're introduced to Kari, the resident Mary Sue..."

I love you JesuOtaku. <3 Her Digimon retrospectives are excellent by the way, I definitely recommend them to anyone who hasn't seen them. Which I'm sure most of you probably have by now.

[Izanagi]

Yeah, JesuOtaku's retrospective is certainly worth a look and I liked the review it and how it pointed out the many flaws with the dub movie.

Alone, they're fine OVAs like Karas. A fun action filled watch. Sewed together...well, you get the point.

I watch the first two movies in Japanese not too long ago and I must they were great. Mamoru Hosoda is excellent director.

[Cobali]

I haven't seen digimon in soo long...:/ one I can remember is the one tamer merging with Guilmon digitalizing into Gallantmon. The other I belive was a tamer and Terriormon mereging to create some Green Gallantmon... and I thhink it was Tai or whoever them anime charachters are. That merged with Guilmon, or he was with Agumon, wait, now I'm confusing myself.

But the last Digimon anime I saw was... 4 years ago.

Ive watched every season except xros wars

[Weedy Spyze]

Just for the record, I've seen every Digimon series in its entirety. I watched them all earlier this year, actually. Oh and I didn't care for Xros Wars that much.

That was a great review, I'm glad that the NC brought in Jesu for this since it was fun to see them bounce off of each other as well as help him out with areas that he was unfamiliar with (like the movie's background for instance).

The sad thing about this whole thing though is that the head writer of the movie actually intended for the first two to be aired together with the third on its own, but due to executives interference we got all three in one movie and thus had to have the third's plot shoehorned where it didn't belong. Without it, the first two actually flowed better and probably wouldn't have been nearly as disjointed, though it would've pretty short in length.

Anyway, it looks like we may be getting the Adventure season on DVD in the USA.

It appears we will finally get a release in the USA for Digimon.

An Amazon listing appeared for season 1 from a company called New Video Group. This is the company that distributes the DVDs for The Guild, Red VS Blue, and Dr. Horrible.

If what little information in the Amazon listing is accuratethe Season 1 collection will have the Adventure title on it, be 8 disks, and come out October 9th with an MSRP of 80 dollars, with Amazon's preorder price being 56.

I'm waiting on further information and will update when I can. The source link is an affiliate link to Amazon for the item, so buying it from Amazon using that link supports the site.

Tamers was my favorite season just because of how well it was written and the fact that it had a bittersweet ending unlike the other digimon seasons

What does Digimon have to do or try to surpass the Pokemon franshise? This is your opinions and I know this may never happen but its just a question.

I think the series is better if you try not to compare it to Pokemon.

Pokemon's strength is in its games. The anime is subpar.

Digimon's strength is in the anime. The games are mediocre.

So here is another question.

What does Digimon have to do or try to surpass the Pokemon franshise? This is your opinions and I know this may never happen but its just a question.

I don't think it needs to do anything. Any sort of anime that came out around the same time as Pokemon was immediately panned by critics as they just dismissed it as Pokemon wannabe franchises. I think as long as people acknowledge the differences (of which there is many) between Digimon and Pokemon then it'll do well within their own right.

Any sort of anime, really? You might want to rethink that statement.

[Pokeshippers]

Personally as a kid I loved both Digimon and Pokémon, I didn't like any one more than the other but then as the years went by I never watched Digimon again but Pokémon seems to just appear all of a sudden and I get the urge to revisit my childhood :/

[Joshblue02]

what about data squad, so cool yet bio..... digimon, plain stupid, why not stick with the robots

[Jasonx1998]

I used to digimon when I was younger but eh?

[Taodragon]

Possibly good news for those in the US since from the sound of it, it looks like there may be a dub in the works for Xros Wars:

Was gonna wait until I had more information, but at least one actor has spoken up about trying out for Xros Wars dubbed.

The dub is being done at Studiopolis. It's in the midst of casting, and the WWP pilot stuff has been tossed out (as was always the assumption.)

Rising Sun Tokusatsu noticed Ben Diskin mentioning he tried out for it.

Based on info from Diskin, it appears the names are being changed for the dub, but not the names WWP used. Taiki's name is similiar (off by one consonant apparently.) According to Diskin the term will still be DigiXros (although based on the way this stuff is done, that may be an early script.)

As for who has licensed it... that information is to come later.

[UnovaGirlSkyla]

Xross Wars dub? Thank god!

[Heavenly]

Does ANYONE know who wrote the epilogue for Digimon Adventures 02? I want to personally thank them for ruining my childhood... seriously, I want to know.

It's not even the stupid job positions that made me hate it. If they would have just gave them jobs and ended it everything would have been fine, but no. They coupled 2 of them... worst idea ever.
