The first episode was intriguing. I'm curious about why the girl introduced early on has a "cold heart". Lets see how the story unfolds in the next episode.

Hope this becomes a hit like the new digimon game. We need digimon franchise revival.
@MegamiRem It has been around. The Digimon games have been turning a profit it's just that Time Stranger is turning a BIG profit. So this anime is just icing on the cake. Digimon has always been here it is just the rest of the community hasn't been seeing how good the food has been put out. It just lacks a good anime, which we may finally have one.

I think that this is the best 1st episode of a Digimon series so far.

All the main characters as showed, we have some world building about the tecnology, the age / year that the story is set, the meeting of the leader and his Digimon, some insights about how the society is segregated and even the possible origin of this season's Digivice. We even got the evolution sequence of one of the digimons for the next level.

Also the little narrative before the opening and the cliffhanger in the episode was a awsome way to open the show.

5/5

PS: I love the FunBeemon / Waspmon in the ep, this match with the recent Royal Base / Bee deck stuff that is going to be release in the card game late this month.
@Gorgos as a big digimon fan, there is no question this is one of the best first episodes, that being said the best episodes of digimon were never the highlight (honestly if this is one of the not great parts of the show I'm excited)

@MasterHavik the TCG is also a big success and honestly probably one of the best systems and it was the first TCG since the 3 big ones and vanguard that was a success

I love this, the episode was GREAT
The world looks very interesting and allows a lot of thematic exploration, the characters have a lot of potential and there's no way this will be episodic!

@itsmypurgatory that's what I'm wondering! It seems like everyone here is praising it, so it being rated so low is confusing

@Guilmon1 I don't fuck with the TCG but knew how big it was when they did USA vs. Japan. It's not for me as I'll stick to the games but people like to at like Digimon some niche Pokemon jobber that lost the battle when it still has a good amount of fans. Yes we aren't Adventure big but we never left. I do feel us being a victim of translation terrors and some wonky but fun Dubs held us back as Pokemon didn't have those issues.

(I am happy for the newer dubs and the Adventure remake dub but man that OG cast was just magical.)

I liked it, but then again Ghost Game had a pretty decent first episode as well. Gekkomon has a neat design at least.

This looks great!

And Gekkomon might be my new favorite digimon, i love his design and ability and he looks funny.

Music, cyberpunk, and gen z aesthetic. The venn diagram between me and this show is precisely "Digimon" lol. That said, I'm digging this so far.

No fucking way Ghost game was 4 years ago holy shit it’s been that long without Digimon?? And we got the new game this week too we are eating good. This was such an awesome premiere. Production quality is insane. Then again, Ghost game and the adventure remake also started very strong and then fell off so we’ll see how it goes.

Not sure if this going to be a long running one or just one cour, but I’m hooked already. Tomoro’s design is really cool and I like the unconventional set up for a Digimon story. There’s no way his brother is actually dead either, I’m sure there’ll be a plot twist later on after he’s become independent and started walking his own path. The whole e-pulse concept is neat though. Very much looking forward to seeing where this goes

@ReMightyRon Lol I'm pretty sure OP lives in Japan and watched the raws on Japan TV/Livestream (Which is how he always watched the anime hours ahead of us).

Stark doesn’t live in Japan he just makes threads before eps end for the clout. He’s a former mod so none of the other mods ever do anything and if you call him out, you get your post removed. He’s been doing this for years and he even messaged me back in like 2020 because I started making discussion threads for black clover

I am a newbie when it comes to Digimon so this episode is... confusing to say the least. A lot of things thrown at you all at once. Okay...
The OP is certified banger tho, love it. Also Gekkomon looks a lot different from the cards

Not sure I understood what the heck is going on but it was a fun watch.

I think Mako-chan looks a lot like Armin from Attack on Titan lol.

@TheMangaManiac I think the card one is Gekomon, it's not the same Digimon, the Beatbreak one is Gekkomon, with two K.

The digi-egg seems to be almost the same as a Psycho-Pass and the city part surrounded by the egg-shaped globe gave me No.6 vibes. It is kinda weird to connect these two anime to Digimon but it is what it is. I am not hooked yet but I will continue to watch it for now.
