Yay. The new key visual also looks great too. Can't wait! I hope we see a PV soon.

Good news, let's hope Toei doesn't butcher the show like so many others recently.

Rumor has it that it will take Dragon Ball Kai (remake)'s airing spot so maybe expect a late start.

It's not like they're going to sound female.

Female seiyuus taking on male roles has been evident since forever ago.

The VAs announced were for the digital monsters, not for the human characters.

Sounds horrible though, like FMA:B's Edward.
No matter how "male" they can try to sound, it doesn't work.

You know what, this is probably gonna be like Sailor Moon Crystal where Usagi's voice sucks ass because she's too old to play a teen role. :/
Well, the cast for the humans haven't been announced yet. I don't think it'll be too problematic if the digimon sound a bit female.

My bad. A typo on my part. Still, it's going to sound bad because of the voices that have matured.

That is my concern as well. I can't be optimistic about this considering their track record of recent years.
Especially the last 5 years were grim dark. In their 2014 buisness report, Toei even outright admitted "quantity over quality" to be their buisness approach as it "yielded better results".
I can only see a second coming of SMC-esque low budget terror.

Yaiy!

I know a lot of people are complaining about the visuals and character design, but i like it and think it will suit Digimon.
I really enjoyed the style for Tsuritama.

I'm worried this might be the case after looking through the known staff's credentials. The director (how odd that we actually got a known director, at least since Adventure?) has a very mixed bag on his résumé, and School Days looks to be his blackest mark. I'm also thinking the new art style is going to be a magnet for off-model moments (which have always been a staple of Toei, to be honest).

The CGI Digivolutions will probably be hit or miss, I feel for sure.

Happy that the original theme songs return I don't really care for the voice cast since i have seen it ger dubbed

CGI was also used in older digimons people shouldn't make a big deal of it

It's surprising to see that the intro theme will be Butter-Fly again. I thought it would be a new theme song, but might be a remix or something. Glad that Brave Heart is returning to the the evolution theme song. Hope the VAs will be the same as their original VAs from Adventure 02, as it's only a few years after 02, so the characters' voices won't change that much. Looking forward to it, hope it won't disappoint.

I hope they do something similar with the English dub, if there is one. This is one of those few shows where I found the English dub to be vastly more enjoyable than it's original Japanese counterpart.

Its been theorized the reason why there hasn't been a animated preview is because the producers fear of a negative backlash.

The clothes are boring. That's never a good sign. I hope it's Digimon Adventure where they do crazy battle and journey in the digiworld and not some modernized "our school lives with digimon defending our hometown" -bs.

This is hitting all sorts of nostalgia triggers in me. And I'm okay with that. (To be honest, I might actually squee a little once I hear Braveheart's riff on the show).

The staff makes me feel like this could go either way, good or bad.

Art feels conflicting, but I feel like it might grow on me. We'll see.

Spring couldn't arrive sooner.

Not much experience with Yuuko Kakihara but hopefully they can also sneak in the original writers, I really want some Reiko Yoshida episodes.
I did rewatch the series in japanese not long ago and I wouldn't mind if the guys change seiyuus (don't they keep them through 02 though? this is only a couple years after that anyway), the digimon don't really age so there's no problem, most people watch the dubs anyway so who cares in the grand scheme of things.

Wow when I looked at the visual Tsuritama instantly popped out at me. Doesn't look as young (for children) with the new visuals, but I like it.

I guess my next long series should be Digimon. Looks more interesting than Pokemon.
+ Director of Jormungand. Why not.

Tri confirmed for being saved. The visuals still bug me for a various number of reasons, but original singer of Butter-Fly and Brave Heart? Bringing Brave Heart back? And Butter-Fly? Original singers? We have hope here. Don't fuck up again Toei.
