The Digimon Thread

[Allio]

well with Digimon Xros Wars starting in the US on Sept 7th under the name Digimon Fusion, I decided why not we get a digimon thread started here.

little note. Digmon Xros Wars is the longest running season, 79 episodes... but majority of Digimon fans suggest you to stop after 54...the rest of the season, though it tries to start the 15 anniversary of the the franchise, is terrible...worst then DigimonAdventure 02

Talk about your favorite digimon stuff. What is your favorite digimon? who is your favorite leader?


I guess I'll start things off with my Digimon ranking


Favorite:
Savers


Great:
X-Evolution
Next
V-Tamers 01
Tamers

Pretty good:
Adventure
Xros Wars manga


Good:
Xros Wars (first 54 episodes only)
Frontier


Too short to judge:
D-Cyber


How horrifying:
Adventure 02


Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation level of bad:
Xros Wars episode 55 - 79


My favorite is Masaru Daimon, just because he is SOOOO over the top
My favorite leader belongs to Taichi from Digimon V-Tamers, he is the only one that I could get behind 100%

I love love season 3. 1 and 2 are good, sure, but season 3 is just out there. F*cking Beelzemon killing Leomon? Oh, man. That stunned me as a child. I also think the characters were better in season 3, like Takato and Guilmon.

I guess my favorite is Beelzemon, though. He's alright with me.

[Slade]

I had no idea that show kept going. I do know my favorites are weregarurumon and wargreymon.

Oh, Digimon. One of my secret loves.

I had an original Digimon virtual pet when I was younger, which I absolutely adored and it pretty much grew from there. I really got into the games before anything else and when I was probably around 13 or 14 I used to be on one of those Digimon RPG boards where you'd battle and raise your Digimon and I was obsessed with it. It was weirdly hardcore and featured all the original evolutions, which still rattle around in my head to this day. I also really loved the Digimon World games on PS1. I have a special place in my heart for Digimon World 2, as it's a game I played mostly from a bed during a pretty rocky period of my adolescents. Digimon World for the DS is probably one of my most played games of all-time.

As far as the anime goes, I watched the first three seasons then fell off. I think Adventure is still great, Adventure02 is absolute sh*t, but Tamers is probably my personal favourite. The characters were so much better realized thanks to a much smaller roster and the story had a way better pace to it. After that I felt like the series took a nose dive and I ignored it for a really long time. I came back into the fold with Savers, which is (objectively) probably the best series. I watched the entire thing in Japanese as they were released and loved it. I watched bits and pieces of Data Squad, but really couldn't deal with the dub. I'm not normally like that, but Data Squad is one of few exceptions. I haven't watched any of the anime since, although I haven't heard much good about any of it, so I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Where manga is concerned I have much less experience, but I really liked the V-Tamer 01 series, which I actually had a Japanese friend buy for me while I was in high school. I just flipped through the pages, since I couldn't read them, but I got the gist. Years later I finally got around to reading some translated scans on the internet and I really enjoyed them.

I still have an ingrained love of Digimon, but I've found it very difficult to keep any maintained interest in the franchise because of the constantly fluctuating quality of it. Another nail in the coffin are those god damn Japanese PSP games that are a merciless taunt. Now that I'm thinking about them again...I made need to just import them...

[Pterobat]

I watched the first three seasons of Digimon when I was too old for that, and ended up getting sucked into it pretty hard. It was a really fun, weird story with great monster designs. I was also surprised at how complicated the plots could get.

Season 3 is my favourite by a long margin, and the only one I'd like to see again on DVD. The Lovecraft influences just make it boss, but the metafiction aspect is also pretty dang neat. I'm also more into reluctant heroes, so Takato was a cool little dude.

I don't have a favourite Digimon at the moment: I have about a million of those designs that I like. Things like ExVeemon, Garudamon, Plesiomon, Gryphonmon, Kyuubimon, Garurumon, Growlmon, Airdramon, Magnadramon, Seadramon, and so on and so forth.

Very much looking forward to Digimon Fusion this Saturday.

Digimon season 4 comes out on DVD next Tuesday, and a set with the first four seasons comes out on October 22nd.

[Allio]

Though I don't know if I'm going keep up with Fusion (I already watched) but I do hope it is strong enough so that Digimon Decode comes to america

though I am curious to see how the dub is going to censor Lilithmon scenes

I just saw Digimon Fusion on Nick. It's OK, I'll keep watching it. It's certainly very flashy.

If you've watched most/all of the other seasons, where would you rank it?

I personally enjoyed Tamers and Data Squad the most, but I know almost nothing about this series, so I have no idea how it compares.

[Cure]

I just saw the first episode, so I can't really answer that.

Tamers is the one with Takato and Guilmon, right? That's my favorite, too. I will say that going by first impressions Tamers was more "oh man, I gotta keep watching", whereas Fusion is "it's alright, I'll give it a shot".

[Allio]

watched it

the opening wasn't as terrible as I feared

only voices that irks me are Zenjirou's/Jeremy Ballistamon's and Kiriha's voices...but other than that, they are decent

I loved Omnimon's voice though, sounds like a great Royal Knight voice

will give it a couple more episodes

[Storm Eagle]

Yes it is.

I'm not sure which I'd rank as a favorite. Maybe I enjoy all of them equally. Besides, season 3/Tamers is the first one that I watched from beginning to end in its initial run. Before that, I just watched reruns of the first two during the summer before season 3 started, since I got into Digimon near the end of the second season.

Speaking of the first two seasons, both the dub and the original Japanese version are now on Netflix. The subtitles for the Japanese version were off in the beginning, but I believe they're working on correcting them.

[Allio]

anyone curious

here is the original opening

[miru]

X-Evolution is one of my favorite incarnations of the series ever.

[Allio]

Okay...so decided to do kind of a edit compilation of what I notice

first up in the dream sequence, Troopmon's guns are painted red

Lilithmon get addition to her outfit to cover her chest

Lilymon gets a green shirt

So, I was expecting the usual shenanigans that come with a Digimon dub, but… I dunno, despite that, I feel like I still enjoyed the first episode of Fusion less than what I was expecting to. On the plus side, I really liked the voices they chose, but I’m not all that keen on the writing. I can accept most of what they did, but I feel like they changed Taiki (or Mikey, if you prefer) up a little bit too much. When I saw all of Xros Wars, I found Taiki refreshing because of how different he was from all the previous leaders, but this Fusion dub seems to have changed his personality. He came off a little cocky in some points (particularly when talking to Zenjiro/Jeremy) which kinda goes against his humble personality, and they really downplayed his main trait about never being able to turn his back on someone in need, and pretty much completely got rid of any evidence of how he’s able to adapt to anything really quickly.

I don’t know. People will disagree with me, I know. But I feel like I enjoyed Savers’ dub a lot more. No Digimon dub has ever been perfect, but I remember that Masaru/Marcus still had his original personality intact. Here I feel like Mikey is a completely different character from Taiki. Well… those are just my thoughts. If you enjoy the Xros Wars dub so far, more power to you. I’m still gonna give it a few more episodes to decide whether I want to stick with it or not. But I’m just saying, so far I’m not too happy about how they handled Taiki’s personality.

But, again, if I can say one really positive thing, it’s that I do really like the voices. Akari/Angie’s voice, especially. She sounds like she could be Colleen O’Shaughnessey! <3 I’m not completely sure about that, but it sounds like her.

It is her. She also voiced Monitamon.

[Tuxedo Moroboshi]

It is her. She also voiced Monitamon.Well, they definitely did good choosing the cast, then, if nothing more. :)

[Storm Eagle]

Well then I'd wonder how you'd like this. It's a list of the voice actors who were credited at the end of this episode, even though I don't think all of them appeared.

Nick Roye - Mikey
Colleen O'Shaughnessy - Angie, Monitamon
Derek Stephen Prince - Jeremy
Ben Diskin - Shoutmon
Kyle Hebert - Ballistamon
Patrick Seitz - Starmon, Blastmon
Christopher Smith - Jijimon
Vic Mignogna - Madleomon, Christopher
Matthew Mercer - Omnimon, Reapmon
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn - Pickmon
Kirk Thornton - Tactmon
Cindy Robinson - Laylamon
Melissa Fahn - Nene Amano

I WOULD DIE!

But, seriously I don't see it.

[shuriken]

I just saw the first two seasons and then just sort of forgot about it. Back when FoxKids was still a thing.

[Storm Eagle]

It's apparent that as of October 13th, Digimon Fusion will be moved to NickToons, and will be shown at 11:30am EST.

In case some of you may have still been keeping up with Digimon Fusion, you most likely know about how there was no episode aired on the 21st. The third episode was meant to be aired on the 28th, but the first episode was reran instead, possibly by mistake.

There also won't be a new episode on October 5th, since they're showing a Spongebob episode in its place. An episode is scheduled to air on October 12th, however. Whether it's new or not, is unknown.

This is the tweet that mentions the move, although the exact time wasn't known at the time of the tweet.

So as to kind of get a topic started

Who is your favorite member of the Olympus 12

https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7829826048/h9EB85276/

[Tuxedo Moroboshi]

I'd say Venusmon, since she seems so elegant and pretty. She seems to fit pretty well as a Digimon representation of the Roman Goddess for whom she's named after. I also really like Merukimon (or Mercurymon, rather) due to how awesome he was in Savers/Data Squad. Plus, his introduction in that series made him out to be pretty badass.
