| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well it was okay i guess, more silly than I had thought for a Digimon show. The MC and his partner was somewhat fun to watch. As it takes place so far in the real world, there's a blend between fiction and reality. The digital aspects of the show gets slightly serious but the graphics is pretty cartoony. I kinda like Gatchman so far though, at least he seems fun to watch. |
 |
| Not a bad start. Reminds me so much of Xros Wars Hunters. Hope this one doesn't fail as Hunters did. The fact that this TV series have better graphic than Tri, THE FKING MOVIE, blows my mind. |
 |
| what the hell L even doing here revenge kira? for first ep all they said is main character/are you main character etc last min remind me of fail xross on Hunters SHIT also the appmon version of digital world (?) too OP and ED was ok for first digimon without wada kouji partner being replace by buddy |

| Into the Internet! |
| Am I the only one who thinks the MC is a bit like Yukiteru? |

| The only thing I'm hopping for is that it turns out better than Hunters and XWars although XWars was slightly enjoyable. |
| I liked ep. 1. Chat monster and next GPS monster. Wonder how they are gonna filled other monster if all type of app is used. Haru also likable. It is pretty creepy if you'll be asked if you're protagonist or not on vending machine like that. OP is good. |
 |
| I know that Haru is voiced by a female actress, but somehow he just doesn't sound like a guy to me. So I liked the fact that the female character with the pink hair (in the opening) has like a non- feminine digimon. Reminds me of a fusion between veemon and gumdramon. The best part for me has to be the vending machine. The fact that it drop out a digivice seems so unique and hello digiQuartz except now you don't have to say "open." |
| Arguably this MC is Takato second coming, weakling MC not always bad stuff sometimes that is refreshing for Digimon case where we always get Brave shounen archetype I always thought the next Digimon MC should be like Takato but smarter and book worm my image we would get a megane MC but this still good. |
| Haven't seen Xros Wars, but other than that, this was the weakest opening episode. It's not bad, I'm looking forward to the next episodes. Curious about how Digimon will work in this one, combine apps similarly to Xros Wars fusion, have classic evolutions, or maybe something completely unique? Gatchamon is alright, but the enemy Digimon was really uninspiring. I hope the next Digimons have actual designs instead of being anal beads. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I like the concept, but I don't like the digimons at all, I hope it will get better but I don't see any potential in this one. This looks worse than Xros Wars Hunters, and that's bad. |
 |
| This is why Pokemon is bigger. |
| kinda disappointed.... digimon is way better... difficult to buy the ew appmon concept |
 |
| It was okay the concept is cool but the execution wasn't there but I will give it a couple more episodes |
 |
| From first episode, looked like a refreshed version of Digimon Xros Wars Hunters (and that's not so bad cause Hunters had an interesting start) but... Appmon series seems like it has a very young age target group, younger than previous seasons. Maybe the producers are planning to make this anime a big hit and build a new legacy like they did with Digimon Adventure. I don't know if they can take it cause I don't belong to that target group. So far I like the appmon idea but the execution is ugly for me. The new "digital app monsters" looks so bad cheap and bad designed. Hope we will see the classic digimon as secondary characters on this series. The producers seems also are planning to modernize the digimon franchise. My experience says that when I was a kid I didn't even knew what a tamagochi was, or that digimon were V-Pets but I loved digimon anyway. |

ListAandM said: what the hell L even doing here revenge kira? LOL I'm not the only one who noticed XD. Alright, looks like my fears seem to be put to rest--except I'm not sure if I'll get used to Haru's voice. I think it's going to be nice to see him grow as a character (from bedwetter to hero), but that voice kind of makes me hard to take him a little seriously, not going to lie. I just feel it's a little hard to believe he's 13 with that voice. But otherwise, it was actually not a bad first episode. I don't have a smartphone, so I'm not sure if that contributes to me not really understanding too much of what's going on, but at least Gatchmon is there to explain how things work. Speaking of, I think I'm going to like Gatchmon, I thought he was going to be a little annoying, but what I thought was his voice from the PV turned out to be coming from the AppliDrive, I think. Thank God, I was worried I was going to have to put up with a screechy character like in Monster Strike. It's still way too soon of course, but after what went on with the text bubbles, this is going to be interesting to see it dubbed (if it'll get dubbed) based on what was laid out in this first episode. I wonder what kind of liberties they may have to take; I can imagine that if the kanji remains, they may have a voice-over reading it in a distorted, robotic tone of sorts. Kind of similar to how Ophanimon contacted the DigiDestined through their phones in Frontier, is what I'm thinking of. I'm going to keep in mind the hacking elements that was going on in the first half of the episode, because that sounds like it's going to be a running thing. Touching upon cyber security I think will be a pretty cool idea for Digimon to tackle, and using smartphones could be an interesting way to look at it. So yeah, I'm sold. Silly first episode, but it should get much more interesting as time goes on like with every Digimon series. I'm a little excited to keep up with this. |

| We came from Cards, Spirits, Police Force, and Fusion to applications? Not a bad concept but it looks kinda silly. Also, nice going make your own version to Digi Quartz 4/5 |
DATS24 said: otterman965 said: This is why Pokemon is bigger. so? I'm just pity for those who watch pokemon, only leads to another false hope. Appmon is a hidden gem. Said the guy who watched more Pokemon than me. Calm down. This episode is average at best and you know it. The story is hella generic. That moment before AppliRealize is one huge cringe. The soundtrack is bland, can't even remember one anymore at the moment. Gatchmon is supposed to be the mascot, but he is neither cute nor cool. Well, at least he's kinda likable character-wise. The fight is so stupid. Mark as read? What the actual thing is going on there? Hopefully there won't be nothing as stupid next episodes. The concept is interesting, I'll give it a praise for that and thus I'll check out more of it. However, judging fom this first episode, Pokemon is just better, by far. I don't know how this one will turn out in the future, if it's good, then it's good for me to have something good to watch. If it's bad, I would drop it and wouldn't ever have to bear the embarrassement of once claiming it a hidden gem based on only one episode, one suckass episode not to mention. Win-win for me. |
| Well, nothing bad nor new for what is probably a kids coming-of-age adventure. In our cellular phones world, turbulent appli-monsters are like bad spirits, they can easily disturb humans and their privacy. I know this idea of perturbations in the real world has already been treated in Tamers and Savers but the way it is done here reminds me far more Yôkai Watch (you'll find other points too) The only real weak point lies in Gatchmon fighting technique: as a search engine incarnation, it is a good idea that it can research in a battle to be effective, but the "to block Internet chats spam, simply note them as read" sounded pretty stupid, and the way it was done in the fight (just shouting "READ") made it even worse. 3/5 Now, as a Digimon fan: Another step toward modernity after XWars: - the drawings style has similarities and the monsters designs are like the next level of what already changed with Xross. Too bad for me, the general monsters design was what lured me in the first place to the brand. - the partner/buddy has its own distinct personality (a thing started in Savers) and its own goal (Xross). I wasn't a fan of Shoutmon and this Gachmon gives me the same impression, but it is a undoubtedly a good idea to preserve. I also expect a purge of the angel/demon component (who was already strongly reduced in the last series. At the end of the road, I will come to resent this new sub-brand like I did with the supposed return of Rockman in the videogame domain simply because of the disappearance of the original concept. You're a main character: you're wearing goggles. Thanks for the reminder, in case we didn't notice that was a Digimon entry.I suppose there will be a fully drawn parallel world if we consider the ending's pictures. |

Win-win for me. haha, you really don't appreciate creative fighting? lol pokemon better? yeah greninja lose against a type it had advantage of. By first episode pokemon is better? yeah, pikachu goes down to level 5 and lose to starter every new season. pokemon fight can be more intense indeed, but most of the fighting are just stupid especially the result. grenjinja? best friend? pffttt, get released episodes after story generic? based on first episode you can already judge the story? pfffttt At least appmon has the potential unlike Tri. also Gatchmon>>>>>>>>>pikachu anytime it doesn't need to be very cool or cute, as long as he has its own character treatment, it's already a very good thing that makes it not as a fighting tool Creative fighting? Mark as read by just saying "I've read your message"? Seriously? Remind me again how Messemon attacked Gatchmon? Remind me again how Gatchmon finished Messemon? Yup, same old physical attack. Welp. So what a water pokemon lost to fire pokemon? Is it a bad thing? Did you just imply a water pokemon must win 100% against fire pokemon? Please. Yes yes yes, how stupid Pikachu didn't fight as seriously as when he fought a Dragonite. How dumb. And oh geez. Ash gonna released Greninja? Clearly he hated Greninja. Just like how he hated Pidgeot, Butterfree, and Squirtle. Yup yup no reason behind it. Ash hated them. Come on, don't be dumb. Jesus Christ, this guy. Please learn some comprehension. I clearly said 'this episode' in my post. Jesus Christ, please not so dumb and immature. Why are you even bringing up Tri? Oh wow Gatchmon is better than Pikachu? You know why? Because you said so!! How genius!! This intelligent, clearly outta this world!! Haha. Keep convincing yourself. Delusion is fun! |
DATS24 said: Yeah he once said greninja was his best friend, now he released it. lol based nonsense Satoshit, no wonder why he always reset himself. Glad the series bring him to school. Hope he doesn't graduate in the end. It's indeed physical attack, but you don't realize all gatchmon do was trying to evade messemon's attack? that's the point. it can win easily, but didn't know how to evade simultaneous attacks. gatchmon was just trapped by replying what messemon said spontaneously. all it did was just crushing the attacks, not the messemon itself. I'm not saying fire can't win against water, but man, it's just pretty stupid that greninja will never win against mega charizard X, as yeah charizard is the most overrated pokemon. lol the first episode already gave gatchmon a character treatment, much better than 800 episodes++ pikachu has been if you said "based on this episode", then I still agree to disagree though. Since when resetting to level 5 and losing to some starter is much better? He once almost left behind Pikachu. So what now? Whatever you said there, the execution is still stupid. It tried to do things differently but it failed to make it good. It can still be good in the upcoming episodes. Who knows? I haven't written this one off yet. It's just that for this episode, it's a miss. I don't know what's so stupid with Greninja unable to beat Charizard. It sounds just fine to me. One strong Pokemon lost to another strong Pokemon. Yup sounds normal. Guess you completely forgot about the character treatment Pikachu got at the very first episode of Pokemon series. Okay. Also you must have forgotten Pokemon anime focused more on the adventure, knowing more about new pokemon, knowing more about the lores in Pokemon universe, knowing more about the characters, rivals, gym leaders, travel companions, and such. Anyway, your post sounds so childish I'm cringing hard. Please be more mature. |
Actually Digimon Savers was the first OP without Kouji Wada for its first half. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| An ok start for the first episode. So, Yuujin appears to be the main character in Haru's perspective but seems to be the antagonist near the end of the episode. Hmm, foreshadowing a conflict between him and Yuujin in future episodes. |
 |
| They aren't gonna even called them Digimon,do they? I think this series will be quite different than other Digimon series. They take the concept of Digital Monsters but turn into something else. |

There's reason why the title is still called "Digimon Universe" Because we are trying to create a new series with new kind of monsters but we want to attract more viewers so we use established franchise name eventhough what we are doing are different. |

| They're called Appmon....okay then Interesting |
DATS24 said: Hmm I'm afraid that I must say the same thing to you, who brought pokemon out of nowhere in this forum. I really don't understand what's the stupid thing in this eps 1, and I saw that mostly ppl appraised how the battle using some interesting strategy like that. Losing is okay, indeed. But if keeps losing many times no matter how strong you are against someone is just purely stupid and all your effort is completely futile, so why wasting episodes just for something you won't reach many times? Idk if you maybe have watched XYZ or not. But yeah, I can't even find what's better with pokemon anime rather than just action and good animation. Adventure? Yeah, but most of the time you only meet random ppl what will be no longer remembered, even the whole adventure in the previous series won't be remembered at all as he resets. And as I said, what I meant by false hope in pokemon anime is that the anime was actually good for some earlier arcs, but later then it only went downfall. Even the best characters like Team Rocket weren't ever properly treated with such potentials to be serious. Hmm.. Pokemon and Digimon are like Coca Cola and Pepsi. It's not out of nowhere. Also, the meaning of my initial post was actually very simple. It meant that this sucks. Simple as that. I believe one shouldn't respond when one didn't even truly understand it. It's embarrassing, and how you responded it like a retarded teenager is even worse. I've explained about Pokemon anime in my previous post and I have no interest in reiterating it again. I can't quite grasp your logic. Meeting random new people while going on adventure seems normal to me. False hope = Things not going as expected. That is assuming everyone has the same expectation as you. I don't expect Ash to win the league anytime soon. Therefore, I never felt the anime gave me any false hope. I'm getting bored with this. If you think it's good, good for you. There's no need shove your opinion, which nobody cares, around. It's not good enough for me as for now. No matter how much you preach about how creative or whatever it is, my opinion is not going to change. See you. I'm not replying anymore after this. |
DATS24 said: soooooo muuuccchhhh better than Tri(shit) with all forced nostalgia and forced teen drama all about. OMG! I came here just to shout this lol @Episode: 5/5 |
| better than sun/moon is good enough for me. |
| Meh, wasn't really that interesting. |
 |
| Loved the first episode. I like Haru as a realistic and logical thinking person, since most Digimon main protagonists have mostly been hot headed. Looking forward to seeing Eri, she seems pretty cool. And I already love Torajiro from the stupid devil horns he does in the opening. I love Gatchmon's search ability. It allows to learn about his opponent and develop strategies based on that information, which will hopefully lead to having every fight be unique, and not just power level struggles. But with Evolution as a prominent part of the series that serves as power boosts, it may turn into generic power struggles. Same way.in Tamers had the card concept to provide variety and add a bit of strategy, but was eventually pushed to the side for the evolution power boosts. Really looking forward to seeing more. |
| This was, as expected, a terrible first episode. From the pacing and character design and introduction to the whole presentation, extremely poorly done. With no charm, this looks like a silly below average kids show. The opening and ending themes suck and this is the first Digimon series that I can say that for. I don't see anything interesting here for anyone above the age of 6... but I'll keep watching it because it has Digimon in the name and I want to have a justifiable reason when I give it a low score. Sad to see another Digimon project sucking butt like Tri. |
 |
| @BliuBliu At least they are trying to do new things under this brand, even if it doesn't work for most historical watchers. Adventure Tri and this thing are taking directions not seen before in the franchise. Giving more personality to the "partners" is a good idea. Note: I don't like what we saw from Appli Monsters and dislike the (lack of) story progression of Tri and some of its incohrencies. |

Sad to see another Digimon project sucking butt like Tri. How was it poorly done? It did a pretty good job of introducing the main characters (Haru and Gatchmon). We know their general personalities, the dilemmas that they will most likely be facing, and introduced the mechanics to how their fighting works. Pretty decent coverage of the supporting cast, which would most likely lead to seeing them more in the future. I personally like the slight silliness, but it does still handle the serious emotional aspect pretty well. |
