Outlier May 6th, 2015 5:34 PM

I'm more disappointed by the shift to movie format than the delay. I never really watched Digimon as a kid so I was hoping to start watching this new series along with everyone else. If the movies are just going to be a streamlined version of the series than I might as well go back and watch the originals.

I was actually a bit disappointed with the art style. I loved the style used in the old Digimon Adventure movies. Like, simplistic yet delicate and almost realistic in a way. This was choppier.

I guess I'm kinda happy that they'll make "movies" about it because that means they can cram in a lot of plot in a decent way. Sometimes in the anime, things moved really slowly with filler stuff just to flesh out the characters. Which was amazing in a way but also sort of boring sometimes.

Don't wait for dubs?
Just a suggestion, y'know?

Someone redrew the characters again into their old style from bits of the PV:


Btw, does someone want to get the title changed to Digimon Adventure Tri lol? Since we've gotten a confirmed name ages ago.

They look much better than their official art, too bad they won't be used =/

Plus it's not a series anymore. Well, a series of movies lol.

That Matt is going to give me nightmares...
Honestly, I prefer the new designs. Yes, they're different but it's been 15 years, things change, and now it actually fits with the Digimons themselves, Digimons designs have always been pretty realistic and anatomically correct, in comparison the humans always looked very cartoonish, and slightly out of place.

Astinus May 14th, 2015 5:07 PM

Wow. Seeing that art really shows a difference in the designs. To me, it's like Tri had to have this art style. Comparing the screenshots from the PV with the screenshots of 02 I have on hand, the art design for Tri just fits what they're going for. As saifors said, it's a more realistic look.

Also, that Koushiro... http://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/smilies/1/9/stonk.001.gif

I am really, REALLY excited for the new Digimon!
Yes, it definitely sucks that there's gonna be another delay, but I really hope they're going to use that extra time to make the animation amazing. I always loved the animation they produced for the Digimon movies, so I hope they're gonna keep it up.

As for the new style and character designs ... I think they're ok. I never expected them to use the old style in the first place and it could be much worse. I think it depends a lot on the quality of animation, too.

I really hope for a good story too ... because, all nostalgia bonus aside, the original Digimon series were actually pretty decent. I loved the way they portrayed the relationship between the children and their Digimon <3

(Please please please let the new Digimon be good .. I can't take another disappointment like Sailor Moon Crystal)

Well, there went all hopes of it being english dubbed ever.

Good job jerks.

>:(

The Digimon dubs were never that great to begin with anyway.

ggctuk May 16th, 2015 1:16 AM

Did something happen that I missed?

Lusus May 16th, 2015 1:44 AM

I would rather not see it dubbed considering what they did to Xros Wars/Fusion. I mean the series was dark so some things obviously needed to be cut and changed... but the voice acting was terrible and a ton of Digimon that already had english names in the previous series had their names change for no reason at all.

The Mega Champion May 16th, 2015 10:52 AM

Well excuse me for preferring animes dubbed in a language that I can actually understand and not have to read and watch something at the same time which is impossible.

I actually like the english dubbed Digimon episodes.

So if it's not dubbed at all, maybe I won't watch it?

ggctuk May 16th, 2015 10:57 AM

Like I said, did I miss something? Was there some sort of official announcement that said that tri will never be dubbed in a million years?

There isn't an official statement, but it was announced that tri. will be six movies/OVAs (I keep seeing different things) rather than a full series, which significantly hurts its chances of being dubbed since it will likely take them years to release them all in Japan, which will make them too infrequent to air on TV and with Digimon not being nearly as popular as it used to be a theatrical release outside of Japan would probably flop. Saban doesn't do direct video releases as far as I know, and the fact that there still hasn't been any sort of release for the other Digimon movies that were dubbed doesn't help anything.

It may not be entirely impossible, but its chances aren't looking too good at the moment.

EDIT: They also never dubbed the last two movies, although I've read that there's some sort of licensing issue with X-Evolution, and the Savers/Data Squad movie isn't that good anyway so it's not a particularly big loss. Still, this doesn't help the tri.situation much.

ggctuk August 1st, 2015 6:39 AM

Digimon Adventure Tri has a new trailer. It looks very good: those new character designs actually look great in motion. There's also new characters being introduced, it seems.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIGcjZ2nxbI

They also released this poster yesterday:

http://41.media.tumblr.com/be8dc7b65afce9b3098af94361932772/tumblr_nscbjf1bxQ1uq3bnuo1_500.jpg

Looks like we're going to have a battle of the Royal Guards. Interesting that this is in opposite of X-Evolution: omnimon was the bad guy and Alphamon was the good guy then, and now it looks like the roles are reversed. Also, if Alphamon is appearing, I'm wondering if other Royal Knights like Gallantmon will also appear.

Another interesting development: the first movie will be released in Japan on November 21, as originally billed, but it will go out on region-free DVD and Blu-Ray December 18.

Given the first trailer had English subs, it sounds an awful lot like the region-free version is being done so anybody anywhere can buy it, and Toei is possibly to do an English subtitle track for it. It's the only thing I can see happening TBH, given they've deliberately been hyping this up for fans in the West too.

Kenchiin August 1st, 2015 7:54 AM

I was just coming here to post this, lol, you won.

Anyhow, the Digimon designs are HORRIBLE. But whatever, I NEED THIS.

ggctuk August 1st, 2015 7:57 AM

I personally think they look just fine. If anything, I think they benefit from better shading.

RedJ August 1st, 2015 9:48 AM

Apparently they're going to be selling a limited amount of Blu-Rays at the theaters it will be showing at, so we definitely wont be waiting very long for subs.

Also:


'One Vision 2' Digimon Tamers sequel confirmed*

*not really but it probably is a nod to Tamers

Famon August 1st, 2015 11:45 PM

I think Tri will be the Sequel of all series !!!

Astinus August 2nd, 2015 12:55 PM

I'm wondering who those four characters are that they showed in the PV: the boy talking to Taichi, the person looking out the window at sunset, the girl wearing glasses, and there's still that person under the bridge.

Everybody still looks better than I originally thought, especially now that they're moving. I don't mind the Digimon designs. In fact, I even like this design of Gomamon more than the original animation.

Mana August 2nd, 2015 1:04 PM

Eh I find it odd saying the design of the digimon is weird- its the same core design in a new art style. They all look great from where I'm sitting :).

saifors August 4th, 2015 2:27 AM

Ok, that's it, I've completely fallen in love with this art style.
The Digimon look like their monstery Bandai "designs" and I absolutely adore it!

Kenchiin August 4th, 2015 6:36 AM

So... seems I'm the only one against the art style. I will join the foreveralone train and watch it with my mouth shut :X
