| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, they threw Taichi, Sora, and their Digimon into some serious chaos this episode. Some very familiar Digimon from the first season also makes their return! Nice. I got a lot of nostalgia from this episode. One of the highlights imo is Izzy and his partner Tentomon though. Never underestimate the pair! |
 |
| Ho, ho, ho... Just finished the latest episode of Digimon Adventure: and credit where credit is due, they've been hitting it out of the park with these past couple of episodes. When they slow down the pace and focus on world-building and character interaction/development the show is actually rather rock solid! The plot seems to be rather more tightly written this time around, compared to the original series, which seemed far more episodic and tacked on. The children now have a clear goal in mind, know their role and they have suitable (personal) motivations for undertaking the task. Very nice. Of course, when it comes to the actual plot, there is the little nitpick of how overused the whole ancient war with the main characters being the *gasp* Legendary Warriors shtick is. Not sure if they're going to be using Yggdrasil or the Royal Knights though, and it looks like the focus will be on Angel and Demon Digimon only? Regardless, I guess it's better than what we got in the original with the Digimon being randomly selected or created or something. Though, I have to admit that I'm not that big of a fan of how they were all able to reach their Mega forms without their partners before and that their partners are there just to restore their power. Kinda cheapens it a little, in my opinion. Several random musings: - I wonder if only Agumon will be getting the special stock Evolution animation. To be honest? I don't really mind. After how they obliterated the pacing in tri., this is a real breath of fresh air. Still, I can't help but feel that they should either go with all or nothing. Taichi seems to get all the good stuff, doesn't he? - If the foreshadowing is to be believed, all of them are going to get Megas. Considering Digimon usually only has time for either a large cast with only a couple of fully-developed leads (Adventure/Frontier) or a small full-fledged cast (Tamers/Savers), how on Earth will they be able to do them all justice without it getting boring and gratuitous really quickly? Think Seraphimon in tri. Part 4. - Speaking of the cast, while I think it's good that they're focusing on a smaller cast at the beginning, I wonder if the other characters will get enough screentime and development. The dynamics will be rather different from the original as the later characters will be more or less outsiders to the already established group. - Takeru/Patamon and Hikari/Tailmon are definitely going to be coming in much later. Their status as super OP Angels are definitely being emphasized in this one. If that's the case, how are the other Legendary Warriors going to compare? Will the Angels be relegated to glass cannons or used as deus ex machinas? - From Server Continent in the original to Cloud Continent. I see what they did there. |

| This episode was really nice. That history behind what is going was slick. The ending though. Oh my gosh. We are getting 'her' next? Oh yeah! X3 |
| I wonder which digimon that angel bird meant, I'm leaning towards the idea of Azulongmon. What do you guys think? With only 6 digi eggs shown, that really hypes up TK and Kari later with theres. I wanted Birdramon to get a stock animation like Greymon, but hopefully next time the other tamers can get there after a while. |
 |
| That a was a really great backstory, I liked it a lot. Nice Mimi and Palmon made their entrance at the end. Next episode is gonna feature them, I wonder if there's a chance Taichi might end up with Mimi this time. vansonbee said: There's a lot of Holy digimons thou. Even if you are only counting Holy Dragons there's other digimons besides Azulongmon who are also holy dragon like AeroVeedramon, Goldramon, Goldramon X, Magnadramon / Magnadramon X, Majiramon. So there's a lot of possibilities imo.I wonder which digimon that angel bird meant, I'm leaning towards the idea of Azulongmon. What do you guys think |
 |
| I guess it's an ok episode, though I must say my hype is kind of undermined by the series' dependence on lore and story elements of seasons past. Dunno, just feels like playing a fan-made game of someone, who clearly has some clue of the world, but has no vision how to make the story his own. Favourite part of the episode: Scene with Taichi, Sora, Agumon & Biyomon: "They just keep coming and coming. We need to shake them of!" Next scene with Taichi, Sora, Agumon & Biyomon: "Somehow we shook them off!" |
| Another episode, and more than just nostalgia, I can finally say that the reboot is standing on its own pretty well. While Koishiro and Tentomon are in a Whamon's stomach within the Digital Network, Taichi and Sora standing upon the former ruins of the Digital World (as foretold by the spirits of Valdurmon), and learning about the backstory of the Digimon fight (which is still awesome), which gives the plot for this reboot, and finally, seeking the Holy Digimon. And looks like the fight has come their way, the Darkness Digimon sounding the first wave of rebellion. Tentomon's evolution to Kabuterimon is quite slick, and with it, Koshiro's tag-along with Taichi and Sora. OOH, finally going to see Mimi and Palmon next week? Quite excited for more. |
 |
| Good to see that it's getting better. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It seems like the story is really going for a completely different route, but the characters are gonna be kept the same. I wonder who's gonna voice Devimon since his original seiyuu died long ago. Taichi and Agumon's protagonism is kinda annoying here, Agumon has a super nice evolution sequence, while Piyomon and Tentomon have a very simple one... That's unfair, but oh well. |
| Another solid episode. I feel like this show has really kicked up another notch ever since the COVID-19 break, which is good (especially given the rough first 3 episodes). The more the show delivers like this, the more I'm interested in potentially giving the original a chance and properly get into the franchise. |
| The action parts were interesting and the explanations were interesting too I wait for me plot development now |
 |
| Whelp, here’s your typical Digimon fanservice. Yea, sorry, but I was never a fan of how the relationship between Digimon and humans work out compared to that of Pokémon and humans. Just my honest biasedness. It was still a nice visual display, nonetheless. |
 |
deg said: Err, deg? First time to Digimon? No matter how you look at it, that's obviously Devimon, the big boss of the first arc in original.that devil looking digimon looks strong too Sorry, I checked your list and it seems this really is the first time you watch Digimon. I just couldn't see someone watching this without nostalgia of the original. But you can do me a favor by watching the original to be more digestible to this reboot. I won't say which one is better but I can at least guarantee they're 'very different'. |
 |
| Nice episode. So in this remake, Devimon is using digimon instead of black gears? |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Up to this point, i give up on the children's reaction to the digital world and just see what this reboot has to offer. The battle was ok. Only Agumon has an evolution sequence, eh. Though I was surprised to see Rasielmon among the Angel Digimon. So perhaps this DW will not be ruled by Yggdrasil? Somehow seeing Rasielmon makes me bellieve that this reboot is an alternative universe to the event from Tri, like Meicoomon was reborn and she created this universe based on what she had learnt from the old world. That will explain why the children never question the symbol on the crests that appeared on their digivice every time their digimon evolve lol Next ep is Mimi, I was expecting her but at the same time, I surprise they haven't included Yamato in yet |
| I'm still not really getting into this anime. It just lacks all the great things i loved about the original. My love for the original series isn't even nostalgia based since i watched it only a few years ago. I don't know, everything is just very bland somehow. I don't feel any chemistry between the characters and when they try to have chemistry it feels forced. But yeah, i don't hate the show by any means and will likely watch it to the end, but so far it's not pulling me in. On a side note i'm not a fan of the Digimon's names popping up when they're on screen. I know who Agumon is anime! XD I much preferred it in the original when we'd be introduced to a new Digimon and get some interesting info about them too. |
| Holy crap, that was a really strong episode. I hope they flesh out character-Digimon relationships. It's one thing this show is missing, though they have hinted at that a lot. Sure, Taichi and Agumon get along, but we're never given much of a reason why. It's not like how Tentomon idolizes Koushirou for being smart. We're only 5 episodes in, though. When they show only Devimon's silhouette to foreshadow the villain: |
 Even if you kill me, even if you kill anyone, even if you reset science… There’s always an idiot who will try anything, and the shiny monkeys will inevitably create a technological civilization. |
| wait what wait what!! are there gonna be more royal knights in this series?! they really using more digimon here kinda glad.. |
| Not sure why but the flashback heavily reminded me of Frontier lol. This episode is surely better than the previous episodes, but I still have a mixed feeling about the reboot. I wonder how will the main cast defeat Devilmon since Takeru didn't join part with the adventure this time around, I only hope Toei won't uses Omegamon too much like if he was the Digimon version of Super Saiyan/Blue lol (Considered how they keep Omegamon appearing in Tri and Last Evolution). |

| YEEEEEEEES my stunning princess Mimi have finally arrived and things are looking much brighter. Honey go and give Sora a big kiss in the next episode =P Mimi are so damn cute and I cant wait to see more of her!  |

| It keeps getting better, I only hope the reboot gives a fair treatment to every character, the first Digimon did an amazing job on that front and right now it's been mostly Taichi's show, shame only Agumon gets that great evolution animation but at least it has been so much better than Tri. Lol yeah, I just can't help seeing Cherubimon and think about frontier, while watching this episode I kinda wanted to give that show another watch, I would like if they do a frontier 2 with the kids being the ones who evolve, I liked that concept so much more than the usual partner. |
| This episode: Some mambo jumbo. Frontier's vibe. Taichi and Agumon still getting the special treatment. Couldn't feel the Koshiro/Tentimon's bond, nothing like the original's one. Cool action and animation. Oh Mimi next episo- nope it's Taichi meeting Mimi. |
| Memory isn't great from the original and i'm slowly recalling things as i see the pokemons, really like the new story they're telling with the old characters, wish the animation was a bit better though. |

| Koushirou was so calm when he was swallowed. Yappari these children, each calmer than the last! (≧∇≦) Agumon and Piyomon shed tears when they saw the figure of ultimate digimons. Maybe these are their instinctive memories. In this new stoty, Ogremon is still working under Devimon. It seems that Devimon should still be the boss of the early stage and I wonder when Ogremon's old enemy Leomon will appear. Looking forward to the next ep! |
 |
| Smh...Tentomon speaks with a clear Kansai accent, "Koushiro-han", yet they used "-san". Useless translators...If they're going to use honorifics for some series and not for others, they may as well do it right. I guess it's better than Mr. Koushiro. |
| Tentomon gets some shine this week, and next week...MIMI!!!! Also Devimon is back baby! |
 |
Almost nothing about Kôshiro in an episode where Tentomon evolves, some half-assed attempt to show us some bonding?? No character-centric episode for everyone this time, I guess... fancyjasper said: I'm still not really getting into this anime. Everything is just very bland somehow.

XD Now, I'm scared thinking of Angemon and Angewomon... (and maybe Vamdemon) @KitsuneLisek What do you mean by "winged Digimon"? The holy talking giant bird? It's Baldrmon. August 1, 2020 @Sakarii Indeed. I simply didn't see why they tried to make a bit of it when it came out as poor as this, when it wasn't even important. My actual problem with the episode is that it doesn't participate to portray Kôshiro at all, unlike "equivalent" episodes in the first series that tried to show how characters were in the same trunk of episodes. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| ..........I'm ready to fight for this backstory. It's SO much better than the OG, holy cow. Toei, do NOT mess this up. I swear. If you can't execute this well, just kill off Adventure. You don't deserve to try ever again. Glad to see the animation doing better; the art is... their hands are too big, it looks weird. lol I... yeah, I'm gonna say I like this episode. Interesting though, the route they seem to be taking. Going for plot set-up right off the bat with seemingly not a lot of character development on the human side. But plenty on the digimon side so far. Certainly different... If they handle this well, this could be really good. If not, this could be the biggest waste of potential in the series franchise. Actar said: Of course, when it comes to the actual plot, there is the little nitpick of how overused the whole ancient war with the main characters being the *gasp* Legendary Warriors shtick is. Not sure if they're going to be using Yggdrasil or the Royal Knights though, and it looks like the focus will be on Angel and Demon Digimon only? Regardless, I guess it's better than what we got in the original with the Digimon being randomly selected or created or something. Considering Adventure did the Legendary Warriors shtick first and this IS a reboot of that... It makes sense they'd use it; it'd be weird if they didn't, no? I'm just glad they're fixing it and I hope to the gods Yggdrasil is nothing more than a footnote if they have to mention him. The flashback is hinting pre-Royal Knights. Or maybe I'm just overly hopeful, lol. Rei_III said: Almost nothing about Kôshiro in an episode where Tentomon evolves, some half-assed attempt to show us some bonding?? No character-centric episode for everyone this time, I guess... Looking with too much hindsight. Go back to the OG; there's barely a bond there too before Tentomon evolves. You guys gotta remember, they don't know each other yet. A bond between the two ISN'T necessary for the Adult evo; it only requires the digimon to want to protect their partner. Ultimate evo is the human bonding (going by Tri, lol) with Perfect being the human accepting themselves. Adventure has always had the digimon partners bond with the humans before the humans bond back, if they haven't bond by the halfway point, then we got a problem. @Rei_III I understand and I can agree. It did seem odd how focused it was on just Tentomon especially now that the next episodes show the humans as focus. I'm all for digimon character development, but I dunno if this was it or if it was just them getting the evolution out of the way. I hope this is just the seed and we'll get something even better later on. |

| Wow, so many enemies, it was cool to see the fights. |
 |
| Since no one mentioned. Soundbirdmon is an OC Digimon that won a contest aimed for OC Digimon designs. The artist is; Satoshi Yamaguchi. |
| Tentomon tickling Whamon was hilarious. xD Decent episode with some interesting backstory. |
 |
| Kabuterimon was cool, and his voice sounds good, which isn't always a given with this reboot so far. Ogremon's voice defo shocked me a bit, not what I was expecting, but it could be okay. Devimon teaser too, let's go. I wonder when they will introduce the other digidestined. Mimi is next from the ending, so I guess she will be properly introduced next ep, but what about the rest, defo a slow way to introduce such a large cast. Also one thing I never mentioned, in the OG01 we have them all freaking out when they first get to the digital world, which makes total sense and is realistic and relatable. It's kind of throwing me off how a lot of that is completely absent in the reboot. Like they're not appropriately shocked by what's happening, like all of this is just normal, or a minor surprise. Maybe it's unfair to compare it so closely to the original, but it definitely doesn't hold up imo, even tho it seems fine on it's own merit. I mean the original for me is an iconic influential show so maybe that's unsurprising, but I do find myself wanting a lil more out of the reboot! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| They were cooking this episode. And I like they are not afraid to destroy enemy digimons from start, unlike original digimon adventures. |
