September 29th, 2016 5:41 PMicomeanon6You got it! I've always run out of steam whenever I've tried to rewatch 02, but this should help me stay focused.
I put my thoughts on Confession in the thread (which I get the impression tends to be dominated by those two guys arguing ad nauseum about canon minutiae...). Definitely my favorite of the Tri movies so far. What'd you think? -
September 29th, 2016 4:47 PMAstinusPlease continue these. Because you know the epilogue is my favorite part of Zero Two, and I want to hear your thoughts on the Japanese version. And thoughts on the characterization of everyone.
This is also making me want to rewatch Zero Two along with you, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I have no time.
Also, I finally saw Confession! -
September 29th, 2016 3:47 PMicomeanon6Episode 3:
This episode has literal puppy-kicking, and I would deduct points for a lack of subtlety if it didn't segue nicely to the scene with Ken's one-spectator-animal-cruelty-coliseum (speaking purely from a stadium-design-geek standpoint, it's an interesting contrast to have a coliseum that's designed to please the emperor rather than placate the masses). I remember thinking that Nefertimon and Pegasmon were way less cool than Angewomon and Angemon, and I remembered correctly--heck, they pale in comparison to Fladramon and their attacks are visually uninspired IMO. -
September 28th, 2016 4:00 PMicomeanon6Episode 2:
The main point I think where 02 suffers in comparison to Adventure is the relative lack of suspense and uncertainty, as it becomes clear in episode 2 that at the end of the day the kids are going to be safe at home as opposed to stranded in a mysterious world full of things trying to kill them. Also, no kid today would use a D-Terminal because they're so big and bulky (much closer in size to a Game Gear than to a smartphone) and when I noticed this I felt really old--thanks, Digimon. -
September 27th, 2016 4:59 PMicomeanon6Well, you asked for it, so I'm now rewatching Digimon Adventure 02 and am going to VM you with a two-sentence review of each episode until I'm done, until I get bored, or until you ask me to shut up. :D Just so we're on the same page, I'll be using PositronCannon's subs. I've actually seen only about half of the Japanese version of the show, so I'm interested to see how it differs from the dub in the second half.
Away we go!
Episode 1:
It's weird how matter-of-fact the show is about big changes since Adventure, like those PDA-things that hold the digimentals and the gates in the computers. I'd forgotten that from the beginning they portray Ken like a kid who's taking a misanthropic approach to a video game--I recall the dub portrayed him more as a cackling-cartoon-madman until they saw where the script was going. -
September 21st, 2016 5:20 PMicomeanon6Boo, that stinks. :( Don't worry, I won't bomb you with spoilers.
-
September 21st, 2016 4:11 PMAstinusJust warning you that I'm working all weekend, so I won't be able to see Confessions until Tuesday. :(

September 15th, 2016 5:33 PMAstinusPretty much just got home from it! I actually really enjoyed it as well! It was much better than I was expecting.
I got chills when Brave Heart played. -
September 15th, 2016 5:07 PMicomeanon6Did you make it to the Tri dub? My reaction is surprisingly positive! :D
-
August 21st, 2016 7:47 PMicomeanon6I'm spoiled--almost everything shows up in northern Virginia or at least the wider DC area, at least since I was in high school. The furthest I went was to a University of Maryland auditorium where they were showing Evangelion 1.0 before the dub was put out on disc. They accidentally started the film projector instead of the digital one and we got the first 15 minutes of Food Inc. before they fixed it. I was the one who convinced my friends to go and nearly died of embarrassment.
Huh, that turned into a bit of a tangent. Anyway I'm seriously surprised at how wide a release this thing's getting. They couldn't possibly make their money back, could they? -
August 21st, 2016 7:41 PMAstinusThe only theater in the area actually has a showing! I was surprised, because normally my area doesn't get anything.
I still need to buy a ticket myself. -
August 21st, 2016 7:36 PMicomeanon6Yup. Walking distance, in fact. Thanks for reminding me; I should buy a ticket.
How about you? -
August 21st, 2016 4:42 PMAstinusIs the dub Digimon tri movie coming to a theater near you?
-
August 7th, 2016 6:07 PMicomeanon6Wait, for real? Now I'm trying to remember what the ears looked like. I must have gotten thrown off because when I think Jolteon I think "spiky." "._." is right, my face is getting red.
This just in: icomeanon6 found to be complete fraud, doesn't actually know jack about Pokemon. -
August 7th, 2016 5:32 PMAstinusThat was a Jolteon icon. ._.
Still, RIP for now!
