Do you like the character design in Tri?
| I'm still not used to the character designs on the children, but I'm happy the Digimon are the same (even with the slight redesign), they were my biggest worry after the release of the first poster. Hopefully the animation will better reflect this (but knowing Toei...), I just still believe Atsuya Uki's unique design doesn't fit Digimon. His monster designs are honestly better than his human designs, if you ask me, that's probably why I'm okay with the Digimon themselves. |

| No I dont. Also they changed Tai entai(ha)rely |
| I love the new character designs. It makes them look so much more mature, which they should be since they're older now. I just hope it all looks great once we see it animated! |
 |
| I don't like it, but I'll wait to see it animated maybe it turns out not to be that bad |

If I were to rank the series, though out of the ones I've seen, it would be...DATS24 said: Punching digimon with bare hands >>>>>>>>> stand on the back and shout "ganbatte" The Savers season contradicted everything Digimon stands for. Barely anyone liked Savers. Just saying, on every "What is your favorite Digimon season" poll on the internet people either go for Adventure or Tamers, while Savers and Xros Wars barely get any votes. So yeah, you belong to the minority of people who think that Savers was any good, so go back to your Shit Taste city and stop embarrassing yourself by praising bad art as good. Digimon Tamers: I liked the plot, the shy, timid, yet strong, Takato, and the fact that out of the other series, it felt the most balanced. For example, Takato, Ruki, and Jenrya were the show's main stars and it seemed to remain that way throughout it. It didn't feel like the Takato and Jen show. Digimon Adventure/Adventure 02: 02 is a direct sequel, so I consider it as one big story and treat it as such. The main thing I did find enjoyable about the two series were the characters themselves. They were all pretty interesting to me...minus Hikari, unfortunately, since she came across as perfect at times (even though we know she's not), but I still liked her just don't favor her. Digimon Savers: I liked the change and the fact that they were using older protagonists. I also liked Ikuto's character. I did find Masaru ovebearing, though. Digimon Frontier: This series was okay in the beginning, imo, but felt it started to suffer when it became the Takuya & Kouji show, starring four other kids who just hopped on for the ride. I did like the complexities Izumi and Junpei had, which still has me wondering if Mimi's character for Tri is going to go through it (if she's recently moved back to Japan). Another problem, for me, was that they didn't focus on Kouichi as much as they should have, imo. Didn't see the other series. One thing interesting about each of the ones above, though that I find interesting, is how there's always some international or foreign association or something non-Japanese about at least one of the characters. Adventure/Adventure 02: Yamato and Takeru are part French. Mimi now has experience living abroad. Tamers: Jenrya and his family are half Chinese/half Japanese. Frontier: Even though all of the characters were clearly Japanese, Izumi had experience living abroad because of her father's work (like Mimi's situation) and it showed how kids of this nature sometimes face prejudice from their peers. An actual social issue in Japan. Of course not all go through this, but some "returnees" do and it's not just limited to kids. Those who may study abroad may get the same treatment. Savers: Tohma is part German, iirc. Been a while. So yeah...I just always found that interesting. ^^; |
| I personally like the characters style, it looks pretty dynamic to me. I think it will be awesome in motion. The digimon tho... some are not even bad, but Agumon... did they not feed him at all during the last 15 years? I'm looking forward to see the the plot. |

I'll say it - from what I've seen so far, I don't like it. It looks generic, much like many of the seinen character design I've seen. Furthermore, this is the previous work of the character designer: Now, that being said, am I saying that the actual product be terrible? Obviously. Not. But, there it is. The impression I got from the preview. |
| Tsuritama has a great artstyle for what kind of show It's supposed to be. The artstyle does not Digimon on the other hand. |

They all look like they're bored off of their asses "Oh hey, a fish. That's cool i guess" |
Yemi_Hikari said: Deltascourge said: "Oh hey, a fish. That's cool i guess" There is more to said series then just fishing. Well i wouldn't know because i don't plan on watching that show either |
| It's palatable but nowhere near as good as it ought to be. |
| I'm super excited for the new art style! I really loved the animation in both Tsuritama and Cencoroll, how it was so watery and flowy but also simplistic! I have super high hopes for this upcoming season! |
| I could care less about the art direction/character designs. It's DIGIMON! |

| @OP I think the reason you think they all look the same is because they are all wearing the same uniform. If you remove the hair in most anime characters they all look similar in a way. It's the outfit and hair that defines a character MOST of the time. We are all biased on our opinions but going so far as to call a certain anime sh*t just because you didn't like the art is childish in many ways possible. We all have different tastes in art and it just so happens that Digimon Tri's art doesn't cater to your artistic standards. You should not judge it so early because appearance can be deceiving. Besides the people have already spoken and based on the results, a lot of people love the art. You're in the minority but that doesn't make your opinion invalid of course, just not what others think of the anime just like your opinion on Savers and Xross Wars. Personally I like the art because of its simplicity. It reminds me of the old days when the art was really simple yet memorable. It is true that art does kinda represent an anime but it shouldn't be a basis if the anime is sh*t or not especially since we haven't seen at least one episode of it. Considering that since this is Toei we're talking about, the animation could drop considerably so I think it was intended to keep the art simple to maintain quality. |

It's DIGIMON! truest words have never been spoken its digimon!! personally i like the old art style mostly to nostalgia but that s something from the 90s seriously even one piece changed its art style over the years (maybe one pieces a bad example?) its been 15 years since digimon debut damn i feel old (sort of) im just happy theyre using butterfly as opening, i still listen to it even to this day and the same cast as well |
JacobKyon said: And you basically misunderstood that part and threw fits at me. It simply means that he has his own opinion on Xross wars and thus is not invalid because it is an opinion after all and thus is not factual. And by minority it refers to his opinion on art which the answer is obviously stated in the poll that he himself created.

My opinion too. lol So much for minority. Also, way to not be condescending and everything by criticizing about other people's opinions in a comment about the validity of opinions. Oh man, the irony. Oh yeah, and I don't think the show is automatically shit because of the lazy character design in the preview images, but I'll call it as it is when I see laziness in design, whether if the final product will retain the same laziness or not. Yes, laziness. I don't think I've used that word enough when referring to this, so let's use it again - laziness. :P But really, your argument that all anime characters look basically the same without hair or outfit is pathetically weak. The reason the new design looks bad isn't just because of their outfit or hair, which I must say, are as painfully plain as their faces, so that argument is automatically thrown out of the window anyway. In fact, the nuances in anime faces can be easily differentiated even without the faces or hair. Kino's Journey has its own character design. Shiki has its own design. Clannad has bugged-eye girls looking like freaks. Gurren Lagann has its own character designs. Etc, etc, ETC! lol I mean, really, even Pokemon had a more interesting plot than Digimon ever since Xros Wars - heck, ever since Frontier! What's that? Evil Digimon took over the Digital World again, and it's up to a group of children with attitude to save the world before bedtime with their awesome Digimon partners? Oh yeah, I've totally never heard of that plot before. No no. When Pokemon of all things becomes more interesting than Digimon, you know you've got a problem. Hell, even Power Rangers... oh god, let's not even go there. Please fix your shit, Digimon. And that is your opinion on its art so I'm not gonna argue with you because I don't see the point in prolonging the argument any further as it will only end in us throwing stones at eachother for calling the other person's taste in art sht. It seems that my statement was rather vague so let me rephrase that specifically for you. Most anime characters look SIMILAR, as in some features look the same but not the entirety of the character design, in their respective anime. That is also your opinion on Pokemon being more interesting than Digimon. You may share the same sentiments with other people but definitely not the whole world as for me I personally enjoy Digimon more. And that is also my opinion. Mwuah |

| I like it, it's different, they look more like the end of the their teenage years. Except for Kairi & that other kid. |
| I don't like it. But if the art is consistent (unlike Digimon Savers/Data Squad), I will grow to like it. |
muhuchiki said: I grew up with this series and I was sooo excited to hear that there will be a sequel, but the cheesy bland art style ruins it for me. I also grew up with this series, and the ORIGINAL art style is the cheesy and bland one. I'm honestly tired of the Adventure and 02 art, it looks incredibly childish. ...I'm glad that they changed it, considering that childish style won't fit the characters anymore now that they're aged up. Seriously, a 17-year-old Taichi looking the same as he did at 14? KILL IT. WITH FIRE. I'm not one of those nostalgia-blinded fangirls - I saw Adventure and 02 when I was around 12-14. I loved it back then and thought it was awesome. ...Years later, I found Frontier and thought it was even better than the first two seasons. Then I watched Savers right when it aired and found it better. And finally, I watched the X-Evolution movie and Xros Wars and liked them more than Adventure. *shrug* These three seasons and movie are my favorites now, and watching them made me realize how cheesy the original series were. That said, I actually kinda like the new art style. It looks really smooth and clean this way. ...Plus I love the fact I'll get to hear Takahiro Sakurai doing his cute and goofy Tentomon voice again~ Now I'm kind of curious... Digimon Adventure Tri would have looked AMAZING with a sports anime art style. Namely those used for Ace of Diamond, Free, Haikyuu or Kuroko no Basket. ...I can't help but picture Yamato looking like a blond, grumpy version of Sousuke Yamazaki. |

| So, there have been a debate ongoing for a change in character design for the upcoming anime digimon tri. I'm sure like many of you know, there have been many discussions about the official character design and people are having some "problems" accepting the official design by Toei. The images below shows the new proposed character design change vs the official character design by Toei. The proposed change vs official character design:   I generally prefer the new proposed design because the characters actually look better and looks more "mature" as compared to the official design. What are your thoughts? Which design do you prefer and why? If you like the new proposed design and hope for a change, you can sign the petition too(ask me for the link) |

Which design do you prefer and why? These big goggly childlike eyes look more mature to you? I swear, sometimes the opinions of people blow my mind. It's like they're aliens. If that lame petition succeeds, I'll gladly never watch this. Tell me, what's the point of a new Digimon series if there is nothing new? The official artstyle is great. |

If that lame petition succeeds, I'll gladly never watch this. Tell me, what's the point of a new Digimon series if there is nothing new? The official artstyle is great. Exactly how I feel. I like the art style and seeing the Digimon characters in a new, modern era. Sure it was more fitting in a show like Tsuritama, but Tsuritama is a good anime in its own right. The style is refreshing to me - I love the brightness and the upbeat energy behind it which definitely suits a series like Digimon imo. I kind of get what they mean with the proposed designs though. Hikari and Taichi's personalities seem to be captured better in their new expressions. By comparison, the original designs make their personalities seem more watered down. At the same time though, when I watched Tsuritama the characters were plenty expressive so I trust this won't be a problem with Tri either. |
| Hikari looks great in both pictures. But Tai looks better on the right. The OTP |
| Atsuya Uki’s designs are gold. I also believe they don’t need to be altered in any way, shape, or form from their original versions. Bigger eyes? no thanks... |
 |
| The original designs were more individualistic. I do like the character designer working on this, but... I don't think it suits a show where we have a preset image of the characters too well. The previous designs had a lot of variation, especially in eye design, whereas this show the characters end up looking fairly the same. I'd say when designing original characters you might have more leeway to make individuality that fits your style, I'd say the designs in Tsuritama were good and the character designed is good. I just don't think this works for the show. The bigger more expressive eyes suited the Digimon cast... and it lead to easier emotional expressiveness coming through in scenes. I'll watch it regardless of course, but I do wish it had kept with the style. |
