| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Geez, Omnimon with Taichi and Yamato by their side. This episode felt like watching a boss fight with a mega battling against a monster in that world. Action is pretty fluid in terms of the Digimon theme style. It looks like Omnimon packs the firepower of a mega as you'd expect from this show. Hope Taichi can make the best use of that digidevice. Nice to see more familiar faces like Kari and Sora though. |

| Seems like next episode is going to mark the start of the real adventure. Might be naive, but I hope the series will be able to redeem itself from the lackluster first impressions with that. |

| Fuck yea let’s go boys. It’s Saturday night and there’s no better way to end off a long day of anime than with Adventure(2020). Been waiting all week for this ep. The animation during the omegamon fight was awesome. Wasn’t expecting to see him this early in the series, and it brings up some power-scaling questions, but it was fun nonetheless The show in general just looks so pretty and well polished. Great to see the series in such an updated form Omg best girl sora has arrived No way the episode’s over that quick?!! Wtf. Felt like it lasted 10 minutes. Probably gonna get roasted for this, but I’ve enjoyed the first 3 eps of 2020 much better than the original series. I’ve seen some complaints about the pacing, but I find the pacing to be perfect. One of my biggest complaints with the original was how slow it felt on Jetix. Can’t wait for next week. |
 |
| Joe and Sora! So they're finally going to the digital world? Also hopeful the series will get better. Remaking Bokura no Wargame (and badly) to freaking start the series wasn't a good choice, but doesn't mean the whole show will be like that. |

Only 6 lights entered the Digital World at the end and it looks to be Yamato, Takeru, Jou, Sora, Taichi and Koushiro. It's definitely Mimi, not Takeru. Takeru is Yellow. The ED shows whom the 6 are that go. Ah! Yes, thanks for the correction! |
| I have no idea how I feel about this so far. How did so much yet so little happen in the first three episodes? Why did they establish things in a more "digital" looking world, if they're still going to go to the OG digital world? Why did they have Omnimon show up so early? The next episode looks more like the OG series, and will probably be completely different in tone, which makes me wonder what the point of the first three episodes was. It almost felt like filler, which is sad that the culmination of the original series has been reduced to this. Sorry if that was incoherent rambling, I just have so many thoughts that I can't really put into words.. |

| These three episodes were much better than the original three episodes. In the original the kids get attack by a Digimon then the Digimon evolve to their adult forms and defeats the enemy. While here the it's different it isn't the same formula they used from before. Having Omegamon at the beginning it shows how powerful a Digimon can get. Even though Taichi and Yamato aren't friends yet. Storytelling in the reboot is much better. Having Takeru and Hikairi out is better since it will build up something big later on with Angemon and Angewomon. |

Instead of following the episodic evolutions to adult level, we already got Garurumon from the start and (even though I didn't want it to happen this early) Omegamon. Anyway, I guess the episodic evolutions will start from next episode onwards. I felt the same about the ep. duration lol it ended so quickly. |

| they did not even show the name of that fusion of a Digimon they add EMP that can kill all electronics like the internet that was cool and they add that Digimons are artificial intelligence beings so thats more cool also they finally shown the Digimon island in the end next week its Soras time to shine |
| The fight was pretty hype and nice they saved Tokyo. Looks like the intro's over and the adventure starts with next episode. That last scene was really beautiful damn. I'm loving this reboot so far and hoping for more great episodes. deg said: they did not even show the name of that fusion of a Digimon They wanted to keep it a mystery for the time being for the sake of the story I guess. |

I'm loving this reboot so far and hoping for more great episodes. deg said: they did not even show the name of that fusion of a Digimon They wanted to keep it a mystery for the time being for the sake of the story I guess. So I thought about it a bit more...My theory is that they're going to spend the season trying to figure out exactly what happened, like what sent the missile and where omegamon came from. They'll discover the main villain within the first half of the series and try to summon omegamon again, but fail. Then by the end of the series they'll figure out how to control the power and defeat the villain, OR they'll uncover some new form that's even more powerful than Omegamon and use that to defeat the villain. |
|
| I did like the fight told with just the visuals instead of dialogue, but it still is a bad writing choice. Agumon and Gabumon did not die or lose their memories so it still feels forced and make some lame excuse to not evolve to Omegamon in the future. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Is it bad that I was more excited to see silhouette of Joe and Sora's introduction than Omegamon fight? I don't buy into that how you disable a missile trajectory but then again, at its core Digimon is still a kid show. Then again, I feel like this reboot will emphasize more on the connection between the Digital World and the Real world, don't know, just a thought. I remember in the original, the digimon battle occurred in the real world much later in the series, whereas in this reboot, the effects already happened and will happend again now. I still have mixed feelings for this, mostly because I still miss the evolution sequence. I feel like the reboot want to get rid of the evolution sequence to emphasize more on investigating the mystery of the DW. It's certainly a different take but it certainly kills the hype when a digimon evolves, at least to me. I used to get so excited seeing the Digimon evolve, and then the kids had to learn of their inner selves through the crest, thus evolve their digimon partners. Speaking of which, I wonder if new viewers questioned the crests or just dismissed them. It kinda bothered me a little how Koushiro and Taichi talked about Agumon and the Digital World but never questioned the strange symbol appeared on the Digivice and their significance. For now, I'm excited for next episode because it will be about Sora and Piyomon! Let's see if there will be an evolution sequence or not. And then, we will finally get to meet all the children! |
I'm not completely against them using Omegamon this early, I didn't go berserk like some fans did lol but there were other ways to add mystery to the story without having to use Omegamon. I think many of us are a bit tired of Omegamon after the tri. movies. I'm actually hoping they give us new evolutions when they fight the final boss (for example, the new evolutions from the latest movie). |

| Whilst I wasn't a big fan of this episode, gotta admit the music was sweet. |
| But hey, at least they're not sticking to that old formula: EP1: Baby -> Rookie EP2 - EP7: Rookie -> Adult (one at a time, leaving out Patamon because he's special) Even though I think they're gonna use that formula again starting from next episode, it was nice that it started in a different way. I'm also waiting for Mimi and Jou's reactions. At this point, Taichi, Koushiro and Yamato already know about the Digimon and that stuff, and Sora is with Taichi, so he's probably gonna tell her what happened. However, Jou and Mimi are clueless, I guess. They probably arrived in the Digital World alone, and they're always the comic relief so... yeah xD (It would be cool if they arrived together in the Digital World) |

I didn't watch new movies, the last time I watched the series was on TV when I was a child Watching new movies means I have to re-watch the entire series before that Oh ok, I see. I don't think you missed much, to be honest. The tri. movies were, overall, disappointing. The best one was probably movie 3. |
| What really happened at the forest back in S2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrqZ80FvQDQ |
| The missile was so close, scary! |
 |
| Feels a bit weird to me because even though it may be on strange happenstance, they already had access to Jogress and warp by episode 3. Also Yamato have an adult/late teen voice despite being, uh, 11? |
 |
| tbh i like the animation, i like the ost and soundtrack and i like the characters, im just not sure where they're going with the plot, for now 8/10 until we actually see where this is going oof |
| Oof. Maybe now that we are over the "Our War Game"-remake, we can finally move on to more interesting things. I hope. So far every change, that has been done is either for the worse or just meh. Most annoying is, that they keep playing the card, that we as an audience already understand, who the characters are and the dynamics between them. Tai and Matt just took down a Mega Digimon without flinching, like they had years of training in fighting Digimon. The whole DigiDestined and Digimon relationship is after 3 episodes still left unexplained. Tai hasn't even had an on-screen exchange with Agumon yet. Are Digimon like V-Pets now, can DigiDestined even communicate with them in any way as is right now? Why is Tai so sure he'll be able to contact and bring out Agumon again in the next episode? Can they communicate via DigiVice, but the animators didn't bother showing us any of that? The Our War Game remake was interesting in that they replaced Diaboromon through Algomon and it seems like "Our War" isn't completely over yet, but on the other hand, we've seen it already... and done better, if I might add (no disrespect to the animators, they did a good job, but the episodic format really ruined any sense of tension, that the original had and only gave more space for people to question the logic of the remake - i.e. the Omnimon appearance) Positioning it at the start of the series might also really undermine any future development of the show. The whole introducing of Tai and Matt as heroes from the get-go f.e. leaves little room for character development and makes the relatability with them harder. I want DigiDestined, who crap their pants at the first sight of a giant beetle or one's that think they can raise a dinosaur baby by themselves, but fail miserably. The new Tai and Matt just bore me. |
| Alrighty, here are my polished-up thoughts: First of all, the evil Digimon was defeated and the missile was stopped by Omegamon. Yay... They're pretty much invincible and all-knowing as Omegamon, with the power to even redirect missiles, so any stakes built up over the course of the previous episodes are rendered naught. Interestingly enough, even though Omegamon was portrayed as OP, we weren't even able to appreciate just how OP he was because they revealed him at the beginning of the series. Diaboromon was able to defeat WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, two Digimon who we've seen best Dark Masters handily. What did this guy do? Beat down a couple of Champion/Adult-level Digimon? Actually, Greymon and Garurumon were still standing at the end of episode 2! Can you really look at me with a straight face and tell me that you got the same OH SHIT reaction in this episode like when Omegamon dispatched hundreds of Diaboromon with a single shot from his Garuru Canon? Yeah. I didn't think so. Speaking of the Omegamon fight (which didn't even seem all that well-animated or choreographed compared to the fights from previous episodes), there was no sense of urgency or desperation like in Our War Game. Notice that in Our War Game, even after becoming Omegamon, they still needed to figure out how to defeat the big bad guy? The solution? Something ingenious that was built up over the course of the movie. Imagine that! Omegamon was even less of a deus ex machina in the original movie than he was here! That on top of him being the culmination of an entire season's worth of growth is why he worked. Here, it is precisely because Omegamon wasn't earned, and was so OP at the end, that the entire escapade seemed rather pointless and there was hardly any catharsis. Look at Taichi's reaction after coming back to the real world. He was like, oh. That was fun, as opposed to. The only real fall out is (I assume) that EMP and the birth of a new evil digimon which really has nothing to do with Omegamon. There are also no consequences to this power-up. Some people were assuming that Omegamon would result in an Angemon sacrifice. Firstly, that didn't happen. Even if it did, why would Taichi or the audience care because they only spent like 15 minutes together? For Angemon's original sacrifice, Takeru and Patamon's bond was forged over a season's worth of episodes, they had an entire episode dedicated to their relationship before that sacrifice and Patamon's evolution was built up very well. It's precisely because they spent most of their time together fighting that it was only natural that Taichi didn't really seem to give a crap about Agumon or curious about Omegamon or anything after returning to the real world. Yeah, you can argue that it's because "I know we'll definitely meet again", but they seriously managed to build up a far stronger bond between Taichi/Hikari and a bestial Agumon incapable of speech in the original half-hour (sorry, 20-minute) Adventure movie than in these past three episodes. Whatever the case, now that this arc is over, on to the next one. From a missile to a black out, we have yet another time limit. Just saying, even in video games, time limits are unnecessary, annoying and a lazy way for the developers to artificially raise the stakes. ...and I wonder if that's how they're planning on keeping the stakes up in this series, by imposing a time limit on everything. Hopefully not. As per the title of this episode, it also seems that they're finally going into the "real" Digital World, but can they come and go as they please? That would change the dynamic a whole lot. On one hand, it does tone down the desperation and stakes considerably, but it's also a chance to have the chosen children be more agentive and assertive in wanting to save their world, which is good. Interestingly enough, it looks like BOTH Takeru and Hikari will be absent from the adventure this time round as only six lights corresponding to Yamato, Mimi, Jou, Sora, Taichi and Koushiro went into the Digital World. How that will pan out with regard to them and their angel Digimon, once again, we'll have to wait and see. Let's just hope that they'll be able to stick the landing with whatever payoff they're hoping to achieve. As for the next episode we have Birdramon. So, we're really going back to a formulaic thing with hyping up a new Champion/Adult level right after Omegamon and they expect us to be excited? I don't know... but at least they'll finally be able to slow down the pace and give us some much needed characterization and interaction. While Birdramon also did appear in the 4th episode in the original, Sora already had 3 episode's worth of screen time and interacting with Piyomon by that point. Will they be able to organically make up for lost time? Once again, we'll just have to wait and see. robiu013 said: Oof.

You don't know how happy I am to read comments like yours. (T.T) |
It was the same situation in the original show and many were critical for that decision. So now nobody has a clue as to why Toei insisted in giving him a voice way deeper than the one he's supposed to have given his age; everybody thought this time they were going to correct their mistake, something they didn't. (I'll post my comments of the episode later, kinda lazy now) |
| Now it seems more interesting than in the first two episodes, good |
 |
| Now that the "Our War Game" remake is over, it seems to have replaced the Parrotmon incident in this timeline? I can be on board with that. Visuals - Still continue to look good. Entering the Digital World for real this time was pretty colorful. Dialogue - Still hard to get into, and its weird that Tai and Matt just don't react to a lot of things. Either way, Sora gets pulled in with them now, so here's hoping we get to have more of a group dynamic going. |
| Love the new episode! Look forward for how the digital world gonna be here Storytelling-wise the first arc is good to build up the mystery. I know a lot of us can't help but to compare to the original, but we should know that this series is a reboot and should comsume it as a brand new story. The old era is ended with last evolution kizuna, the destined kids have grown up as well. This series is for nowadays kids to enjoy. Not like we can't enjoy it, but to enjoy it fully we need to see it from the kids perspective like we do back then. thats my opinion |
| So they still get isekai'd, glad they did, now it'll finally feel more like an adventure. Still a bit iffy with that Omnimon shit they pulled and I doubt they'd be able to redeem that but heck, not a lot of anime to watch anyways so Im sticking.. I mean it cant get any more worst than that... I hope. |
  |
| The new Digital world looks beautiful. Hikaru and Takeru seem to be as cute as always so that's all I needed to know, my biggest complain is how everyone is evolving left and right but the show is different enough and doesn't feel as nostalgia bait as it could have been, it still and will always be ofc but so far so good, hell I am still surprised Butterfly isn't the OP lol. |
| Another action packed episode in which Omegamon beat the viral digimon boss and prevented Japan from being struck by nuclear missile. Now we get to focus on summer camp featuring Sora and Joe. The digital world looks amazing and it looks like Tai and Izzy are going back for another adventure with Sora coming along for the ride. |
 |
| LMAO a bit off topic, but the logo brand of the laptop at the 3:26...lol And that missile made such a big fire ball that could be seen in multiple countries around the globe, maybe a freaking 1 teraton bomb. |

Without a doubt, this has been the worst episode, which shows protagonists who do not flinch, do not blink, do not speak, do not express any emotion on Omnimon's shoulders during the fight. Until the minute 10:30, practically no one speaks, and neither Taichi nor Mat speak! It seems surreal to me. Then we have a battle that does not present any kind of challenge for Omnimon, which ends with a simple thrust. At least the digimons were expected to return to the forms of Koromon and Tsunomon, but not even that. The theme of the camp, no relevance, happens in a few minutes and when you want to realize it, Taichi is already in the digital world (I expected some of them would met...only Sora? XD). The series overall feels very rushed, I am disappointed and I am afraid that it has become quite clear what the tone of the anime will be: a much more commercial and superficial version, especially aimed at new and young consumers which didnt grew up with Digimon 1, 2 and 3, specially. Can someone discuss some of my points? One last thing...I feel that the voices like Taichi, Matt and Sora dont match with their age (8 years if Im not wrong), they feel much more mature. |

The first chapter of the original has much more than the first three chapters of this one. Precisely the series is slow enough for relationships to develop between the characters, and between the characters and their digimon. In the first chapter you have a real and digital world, you know all the characters and all their companions, you know all the first evolutions, you have a battle against the boss, and you have the children falling off a cliff and totally lost, the plot is served. |
|
| Man I really like how this is going, I have the feelling that the misil attack was an attempt to kill the digidestined before they get to the digital world, taht would be a smart move from myotismon (or whoever is going to be the villan). Also looks like Takeru isn´t going to the digital world yet, hope it isn´t for long, the relationship between him and Yamato is what makes Yamato an interesting character. I want to see the next episode now ( ＞︿＜) |
  |
| For some reason, these last few episodes feel like a whole prologue to the actual original journey, but idk. Since apparently the last episode was paying homage to some Digimon spinoff I was not aware of previously, I'm not sure how much differently the script will go compared to the OG Digimon series. |
 |
| I see what they did there. The first 2 episodes were kinda like the Digimon movie but for this series. Taichi gets introduced to Agumon before the real adventure starts, and now that he's sent to the Digimon world for real, everything gets "reset." He'll have to evolve Agumon to his overpowered state from zero. Either that or they'll escalate power levels further beyond just Omnimon. Maybe everyone will start fusing like in the older Digimon games, or Frontier. Either way it was a pretty good episode. The way the series is set it makes me feel it might get darker than the original Digimon Adventure. We'll have to wait and see. |
 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. |
| amazing episode this is really enjoyable again i did not see the original so i dont understand why people are not happy but im really hype for what coming next i give this 5/5 also the Digital world looks incredible |
