Ditto. Hurricane Touchdown/The Golden Digimentals (aka the "Present Day" portion of the English movie) is not canon to the series so they never got Megas.
It makes you wonder though: will Gatomon get Ophanimon or Magnadramon as her Mega? I think it will be Ophanimon to parallel Seraphimon. |
Man, it makes me wish that March 12 would be a lot closer than it is now since it's coming out basically when I start going back to uni again next year.
Also makes you wonder who's going to be on the other posters of the other 5 movies since we get Jou and Mimi to one poster. Most likely Koushiro will be with Sora and Hikari will be with Takeru. The other 2 posters? maybe all of them in one? 02 cast depends on how much related they will be to the story if they turn all dark/ virus-ed, corrupted and have to go against 01 cast or something? but it seems unlikely at this point until there's more info and more movies out. |

though i'm wondering why exactly kari didn't armour evolve gotomon into nefertimon. did she break her d-terminal or leave it behind somewhere? i can see leaving it in a closet as it became obsolete with the advent of cellphones, but i can't really see her or tk selling or tossing it out without taking the digi-armours out of it first. just think, it they had set this 4 years ahead rather then 3 we'd be seeing iphones and izzy wouldn't have an excuse to make it so they can only come in & out of near by screens. but that would also ruin a good bit of the rest of the plot & there's the possibility that by the end of this izzy might snipe jobs out of his grand achievement & create the first iphone in the digimon adventure universe. i also find it interesting that this is set in the year that Digital Monster X-Evolution was release which was the first time an alphamon & omega/omnimon fought in digimon media it makes you wonder how many royal knights will show up by the end of it.. a pre-evolution of one was in the harbor... also, did anyone else spot the tamers reference? |
I am 99% sure Gatomons mega will be Ophanimon, if only due to the Digimon Adventure game on the PSP, which also put Vikemon as the mega of Gomamon.

I don't even know what's supposed to be canon at this point

Canon or not, I still believe that Jou's girlfriend is that girl whose bike he stole off to give to Daisuke and Ken in Revenge of Diaboromon. Spoiler:

Okay, so it definitely has been a while since I watched it. But I never got around to writing my impressions of it! So, here we go:
First off, dat OP. Gawd. And look at all of them all grown up and doing their own thing - it was really nice to see that! Taichi's the only one who is still sort of lost as far as immediate goals are concerned but he's clearly the one who is more concerned about his surroundings and whatnot. His dilemma over fighting digimon irl - having witnessed the consequences - felt like a natural progression for his character and I can't say I disliked that. His and Yamato's ever-present tussle served as a reminder to the fact that these two lovable goofbuns will forever having that love-hate rivalry going on - no matter how much time passes by heh. Then we come to know about Joe's girlfriend (!?FFUAIKGJLDAG) and about Mimi being a model or something in america and how puberty's been really kind to her (I don't blame Izzy at all - she's the most attractive digidestined right now :p). Izzy is just Izzy. That scene where he's mouthing off giving exposition/infodump while the other characters ignore it and go about doing their own thing was a LOL moment haha. As for the shippings, boy does Toei not hold back in that regard - from the very first episode, it is made clear that there's some romantic tension involved between some of our leads. Yamato's, Tai's and Sora's is made clear as day with Tai's entry, him seeing Sora and Yamato together and his subsequent attempt at pretending not to notice them was just cute lmao. So was Sora's attempt at trying to juggle both of them with Tai's match and Yamato's concert timings clashing. And now that Hikari and Takeru are all grown up, they've got their fair share of admirers too - Tai's team members getting their act together in Hikari's presence (don't blame them - Hikari is adorable!!! <333) and Takeru being popular among girls. But it was Hikari teasing Takeru and giving him those glances from the corner of her eye that made their interactions a treat to watch. The story seems like it is building up to something grand and these four episodes did a fair job setting things up. One aspect I was disappointed in was the animation. See, there were scenes where it looked gorgeous. No doubt about that. But there were also those where they dropped the ball far too much - something I didn't quite expect to happen considering the fact that this is supposed to be one of their bigger projects. Episode 2 in particular - Taichi's encounter with Kuwagamon stood out to me the most. I definitely wasn't expecting One Piece Film Z levels of animation (Toei brought their absolute A game in that movie. It looked gorgeous from the start to the end) but it was still a disappointment. There are TV series out there now that boast more impressive sequences (OnePunchMan comes to mind. Won't even mention UBW - that's in another league) which is a crying shame since I was expecting to be blown away by these. But, since, in the end, it seems like this is mostly just them dividing the entire season's worth of episodes in the form of movies and it is essentially just a TV series in disguise, I can forgive them for some of the missteps in animation. Looking forward to the next one. I honestly wish though that they had taken the TV series route. Regular updates > spread out ones. But if this helps them keep up the quality of art + consistency and animation and prevent it from being an embarrassment like most Toei works, sure I guess. |

i agree. one of the problems that are popping up among peoples reviews is the lack of character development of the new girl & her digimon. they where just kind of there. especially meicoomon who seemed like he/she might take the role of a mysterious protector(think tuxedo mask or space medafighter x) there at first only to now look like its gonna take the same role that either labramon/seasarmon did in battle of adventures as a vaccine or the role of calumon or dobbermon as a source of digivolution. and then there's Meiko whom is obviously starting to get bad reviews as being plan because her character development isn't going to start til the next section comes out. now most of the reveries have gone negative because of that. others are just complaining about the slow pace of it. as for the animations not being on par with one punch.... one punches animation is all over the place. it can go from this http://www.japanator.com/ul/34452-annotated-anime-one-punch-man-episode-5/wanpanchi%20%2810%29-noscale.jpg to this http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_YZT25xxEGs/maxresdefault.jpg then just randomly turn into the same art used for god eater for no reason but to amplify this surfer chick that will never show up again in the most comic book way possible http://i.imgur.com/zocanGO.png for digimon tri the animation it has now works best. digimon adventure 01 & 02 where not the best animated anime around during that time but the animation worked well with the feel of the series. the animation was by all means something risky with tri given how different it is. look: tai adventure 01(1999) http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/2/24/Taichi_%22Tai%22_Kamiya_t.gif/revision/latest?cb=20121019143002 tai adventure 02(2000) http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/e1/Taichi_%22Tai%22_Kamiya_%2802%29_t.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/150?cb=20111231005451 tai xros wars/fusion(2012) http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/6/6c/6-76_Analyzer-03_JP.png/revision/latest?cb=20120304102406 digimon tri(2015) http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/5/5e/Taichi_%22Tai%22_Kamiya_%28tri.%29_t.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/82?cb=20150815223135 and naturally, he is starting to look more like his adult counterpart http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/2/25/TaichiEpilogue1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080716093817 |
There's a difference between art and animation. I was talking about animation, ie, the fluidity of motion of sequences on screen. OPM is, hands down, amazing at that. Look at the fight in Episode 2 in Tri again. It was choppy and quite poorly done.
Funny you bring up those screenshots, though - there's nothing wrong with either of the screenshots. They're only changing up the art as the sequence required them to - the art itself is very on-model for the most part and consistent. And the only off-model animation sequences (like the one in the first episode - that gurren lagan-esque punch, that is) look gorgeous so there's that. Tri hasn't exactly had moments of horrible off-model art though (not one that got me noticing, at least!) so at least that's good. So I definitely disagree. But yeah, this is a digimon thread so I'd hate to make it a Digimon vs OPM animation thread. I'll leave things at that. |

It isn't about turning it into an "animation competition". I personally believe that if I'm gonna complain about a certain aspect of the show, I'll try to back up my argument with some substance rather than make statements without them - hence my semi-tl;dr lol.
Digimon Adventure Tri.'s art, for the most part, is okay while animation isn't as good as I hoped (I know Toei can do better - one look at One Piece Film Z by the same production house and you'll know). It isn't even something that's up for debate since, if you've seen well animated shows or movies, you'll definitely notice the choppy nature of Tri's. OPM is a parody show, anyway. Ever thought that the beach bimbo that seemed like a GTA ripoff to you probably was purposely drawn as a reference, y'know, to invoke similar feelings as yours (GTA bimbo!?) in the minds of fans? A deliberate attempt? :p I honestly doubt that that's the case but I wouldn't put it past a parody series to attempt that, lol. I do admit, though, that some of my negative opinion probably is affected by the fact that I hate the animation studio - Toei Animation - and that probably leads me to be more critical as far as their shows are concerned. So there's that, too. |
Yeah, I honestly thought it was just a problem with playback on my part but nope, the animation really is somewhat choppy. Odd, since they didn't skimp on the art quality. So next episodes will be out next year after these were delayed for ~6 months or so? Wonder if there's some kind of production issues involved.
It has the feel and pacing of a series, not an OVA or movie. It was certainly enjoyable, but hopefully they don't think they can pull a Gundam Unicorn and release these over the next four-five years or something. |
To the people dissappointed about the animation I just want to leave this image of Omnimons appearance in one of the last episodes of Xros Wars right here:
http://i.imgur.com/BYY9ecE.png Just let that sink in, we could've had way worse. |
Clearer poster of the 2nd movie is out!

its one thing for data squad/savers to copy adventure 01, but it seems kinda off when adventure 01 copies data squad/savers. it also seems kinda contradictory that the one who had the crest of sincerity would have a dominatrix as her partner digimon to begin with... then again, who better then a dominatrix to represent "being free from pretense, deceit, or hypocrisy." either way, it just seems off. |
I think Rosemon was already Palmon's mega before Lalamon existed.

New information has been surrounding the net lately:

But I guess it is understandable. Since this is basically a 24 episode TV series being released in the form of movies. If it were just one movie or two, this kind of work would've been bad. But for what we're getting (basically a two cour series divided into 6 parts), this is okay. Quote:
I shipped those two so hard. <3; Hikari is one of my fave digidestined and this turn of events makes me really happy. And more of Joe and Mimi is welcome. I like Mimi as she is now and we haven't seen much of Joe in the first movie so that's also a plus. |
so basically their pulling the same stunt that was done with legend of korra and giving way to the shippers?

Now that I've seen the first movie, the yaoi hints are too strong. Fangirls will be all over the place.

Digimon Anime could use a new protagonist who's already broken and damage until his partner Digimon and friends help him recover. FYI : I'm not taking about a delinquent , I'm talking about some loner who's often unnoticed by others or Someone who pretend to be a comic relief to hide his dark side. Suppose , If I wrote Adventure 02 then Davis would be a kid who simply pretending to be a comic relief when he is actually very serious , mature and damaged person with a Dark past! Something like having an abusive Father who's in Jail for murdering his mother. |
