Digimon Adventure: Episode 13 Discussion

I don't know enough all that much about animation, but isn't a lot of it done by hand and computer? Why would the animators need to meet for that when they can use tech to talk to each other about the scenes? In terms of animation, the pandemic shouldn't be much of an issue. If anything, that should be the one that's good quality since they had an extra month to work.

I'm skeptical of that excuse, but I wonder if it'll will be fixed in the bluray/DVD releases. I'm hoping so along with other sequences (like the first WareGarurumon); I'll be able to give them a pass then. Most likely, yeah. We'll probably won't get anything new until Ultimates (hopefully).

I can see how the next arc is going to make or break this reboot for a lot of people. I plan on watching to the end, but if it can't improve, I'm gonna be highly disappointed. Gods, tri. As much as Adventure: evolutions are disappointing, it's still better than those slow CGI messes for me. xD Wait, was it stated they don't plan on emphasizing the evolution sequences? I don't tend to read interviews or anything, so I'm going into this blind. I'm reserving judgement but this would be the first digimon season where evolutions aren't based around major character development - I mean, how are they plan on doing those moments without them? Seems weird they'd go down this route.

Your thoughts on the right track, imo. Certain focuses almost make it seem like they're putting in more effort into characters that are higher in popularity rankings rather than giving them equal treatment. Wouldn't put it past Toei, tbh. Is the PSP game any good? I haven't played but I've been hearing it's one of better Adventure adaptations.

Now I can't wait to see if your prediction comes true, haha.

Sorry for the late reply.

I wish the other 4 get an evolution sequence as well. After Zudomon's debut, I don't know what to think or understand Toei's aim. At first, I thought the other 4 will have simple evolution for their Ultimate's debut, and only Taichi and Yamato (And maybe, their siblings in the future) will get the special treatments. I understand that it is "traditional" of Digimon to give somewhat special treatment to the goggles head and sometimes the rival to make them stand out. In 02, only Daisuke and Ken got Mega evolution and Mode Change. Takato got Gallantmon Mode Change. Takuya and Koji got the Hyper Spirit evolution (combining other spirits??? I don't remember what it calls), Masaru got his Agumon Burst from, whatever the hell Taiki and Kiriha got with Shoutmon, evolution but not digixros?...Sure, I get it, at the end of the day, selling toys is the most important thing so i don't blame them for putting focus on the 'main' digimon, however, it would be nice for the other kids to shine in their own episode as well. Maybe they don't have that much attention, but at least don't feel completely useless and at least memorable in their own way. That's why in Digimon, the evolution sequences are very special. It marked the growth of the characters and at the same time, give them their own mini arc to shine. Not to mention, in terms of profits, it's a way to advertise toys as well. With the current fast pace of the reboot, I don't know if someone watching the reboot actually feel connect to the digimon and want to buy the toy :/ At least, for me, watching the evolution sequence will give me the hype and motivation to collect figure lol. So I'm hoping they are saving the budget for the greatest evolution sequences in later arc.

I haven't read any interviews about that matter yet. I guess based on 13 episodes we have had. I thought they don't want to make evolution sequence to focus on something else .But Zudomon's sequence in the latest episode was something else. Covering him in data and colour and he would have the BEST sequence, able to compete with Agumon and Gabumon even. So now, i don't know if they randomly choose someone to animate beautiful sequence or something else. It felt weird haha. I haven't played the game yet but I have watched the evolution sequences in the game mutiple times haha. There were copy and paste but there were efforts, which I really appreciate

no , it's not like what you think it made things harder , The pandemic made the process far harder. While the animators themselves can work from home, most of the other essential production staff cannot. If anything, the schedule may be worse from the effects.and it's the cause of most anime that doesn't have a decent schedule to be delayed
