Seeing Joe in the episode was fun they kept a lot of his traits. Still no Birdamon evolution. But Palmon has a small evolution sequence. I notice Agumon sequence was shorter in this episode.

It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community.

Really nice bonding episode for Joe and his Digimon. Next episode should be Yamato’s appearance, really looking forward to seeing my boy back in action.

Def feels like the pandemic has had an impact on animation quality when you look at the first episode compared to now, but still pretty solid.

God I feel like a kid again watching this on Saturdays on Fox Kids

Sea in digital world is one of the memorable place in the original, good to see it back even without the telephone booth.

Gomamon is such a perfectly cute one-dimensional character who put an unconditional trust to Joe. Joe believes he can't do anything until he becomes a doctor, but other children, even a leader like Taichi, secretly rely on him. Mostly because Joe is the oldest in the group but Joe is also has determination in his own way, and that calm other members down in a dangerously hopeless situation.

I'm wondering if they'll stop at seven children for a while to focus on a number seven, which is an important number that has dedicated song in the original.

I found this and the last episode rather boring, but the original had episodes like that and we’re currently going through the introductions, so I will let it slide. Next week looks to pick things up a little.

I think the most offensive thing is when Birdramon is on screen flying, but has no animation in her wings. Classic Toei animation right there..

Joe is cool and mature, maybe a bit too much, he's way too focused on his studies xD

Oh man, seeing Joe saying "you're my partner" to Goemon is awesome. They've just met and there's already a bond.

Gesomon is also a Digimon I remember from the original Digimon series. So much nostalgia...

I feel Joe and Gomamon are underrated, I really like those two and so far liked them too in the reboot, I wish the show would have started from this journey, so far so good but man, those 2 first episodes felt so forced, the cynical me just couldn't stay hidden.

Good old reliable Joe senpai has finally made an appearance. Although he was acting like a prick in the beginning, I'm glad he was able to come to his senses and trust his digimon Gomamon. I also liked the song that was playing in the background while they were fighting Gesomon.

Next week the team meets up with Matt and attack the digimon fortress.

hopefully Joe is done with his bs and we can move on to Matt's bs lol

Also, y'all think they will end the season on Devimon or keep going?
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably.

AHHH...Joe Kido and Gomamon.

The time I had watching Joe as a kid, being the nerdy kind that I can relate with strongly. Not as much as now, but purely for nostalgia reasons.

Gomamon's evolution into Ikkukamon was of course, a tried-and-true formula of the past episodes to show the kids with their Digi-destined ones. And it was good too seeing it after all these years.

Next up, Yamato's appearance. Definitely can't wait for next week's episode.

Nice Joe and Gomamon joined the team. Another hype episode with good action. I wanna see what they'll find across the sea.

Well I guess Agumon will be the only one to get the good digivolution animation...that really sucks. In the old show all the digimon got even treatment. That is very disappointing.

Also I miss Naruto's VA as Gomamon.

Other than that, this was a good episode. Joe was always my least favorite because he was so self absorbed in studying.

...I've been patient. But now that we have My Man Jyou, I can honestly say, the new Taichi freaking sucks.

I can sorta forgive the others being one-note since they haven't had six freaking episodes, but Taichi has and his one personality trait is: "courageous happy-go-lucky". Which okay, fine, but there's seriously nothing else to him that adds any depth. It reminds of the 4th Adventure movie and not in a good way. Where's the jokes, the goofiness? I mean, give us something. There's really nothing that separates him from Sora, another bland character. At least, Mimi gave us something, but I'm starting to doubt here...

And I dunno on the "flashbacks for character development" thing they seem to be doing.

My hunches are telling me the reboot is going to be weak on human character development. I already see the plot taking precedence over it. I'm hope I'm wrong but they really aren't leaving a lot of time for the humans and already the adventure aspect is getting scooted over for plot.

What Gomamon said mid-episode seems... forced? Like Joe's character development was just dumped here.
