The 2020 reboot of "Digimon Adventure", imaginatively titled "Digimon Adventure:" (with that all-important colon) started on Sunday. It could be the first actually good Digimon series in years!
Episode 1 "Tokyo Digital Crisis" (if you haven't watched it yet): nyaa.si/view/1235167
Episode 2 "War Game", introducing 2020 Yamato and Garurumon, airs this coming Sunday 12th April at 9:00am JST. Here's the PV: youtu.be/watch?v=vJsp3Y_lFC4
>Thoughts on what we've seen so far (even if it was only 1 episode)? >Hopes for the series?
>Hopes for the series? My unpopular opinion: at least a cameo from the Cybersluts characters.
Joshua Gray
>>Hopes for the series Just keep up the animation I just want good fights
Anthony Long
It was pretty good.
Caleb Baker
>Hopes for the series?
That they calm the fuck down a bit and go to the part where this is an adventure - having to explore and survive the Digital World with their partner digimon. Also that there's a hefty bit of mystery involved.
Oh, and obviously lots of fujoshit with Taichi x Yamato, Yamato x Takery, Taichi x Koushiro...
Angel Moore
Izzy already mentioned summer camp I assume that's when they will go to the digital world
Lincoln Russell
After watching the first episode my hope for this season is low, the "new" digital world is lifeless just blocks of blue and stuff, and theyre wanking the same two character and everyone else will be overshadowed, also more omegamon because fuck it why not? YGO new anime looks promising and pokemon new anime have a breath of fresh air and feels like an adventure, digimon on the otherhand is just a soulless reboot. Isnt it embarassing to be a digimon fan?
What exactly is it about Digimon that keeps bringing us all back? I feel like Digimon wasn't the BIGGEST show in my childhood yet when I look back at it and how it felt, it feels like it. It's been over 15 years now and Butterfly is my favorite song even though I didn't even grow up with it and went on to listen to it much later. And now I'm kinda excited to watch this reboot even though it'll be much shorter, and maybe even rewatch adventure and Frontier. What's the magic, Yas Forums?
Adrian Richardson
It's obvious from the way he's acting that Koushirou doesn't really interact with kids close to his age, keeping in line with his portrayal in the original show. The way Taichi's able to immediately hit it off with him and make him feel comfortable is probably a testament to his leadership qualities.

>the "new" digital world is lifeless just blocks of blue and stuff It's not the fucking digital world.
Sebastian Gonzalez
This opening is clearly from other anime, I had heard it before
Levi Collins
Tai and Izzy were always bro's. Hopefully this series will emphasize that a little more than the past few.
John Hill
This is literally re imagination of an internet. They trying to remake our war game movie in two episodes
Jack Nelson
You're just mad YGO animators went to a better show. Enjoy your generic kid's show.
Ethan Gonzalez
>the "new" digital world How are you people this stupid
technically they have now reason to do following; make 3 parter and reintroduce diaboromon [or whatever it was] and show omnimon as a miracle, then introduce dark lords watching this and planning things under apocalymon
hell, it has potential for better build ups
Xavier Ramirez
Reminds me of the DigiNavi show where Agumon sung a bit of Brave Heart
Easton Edwards
Agumon and Gabumon's evolutions have already been confirmed. Gabumon's thanks to Omegamon. And I can't imagine they'd change Angemon and Angewomon.
Camden Morris
Like those bond of crest mons from Kizuna
Elijah Murphy
Because its fanbase is absolutely insufferable and can never be truly pleased.
Isaac Wright
Can anyone post a webm of Agumon evolving?
Henry Howard
why they make holyangemon too overpowered and seraphimon a jobber?
Logan Morales
...
Cameron Collins
>>Hopes for the series? Tone down the Our War Game vibes. That movie was only so good because the children involved were experienced in dealing with Digimon problems. Whole thing felt hollow in this episode.
Second, keep the pairings intact. I want Shippers to burn in anger.
Gavin King
I'm guessing they are leaving it for perfect/ultimate evolution. They did something similar in Appmon, the insert song was introduced very late into the series IIRC.
Eli Gray
first 3 episodes; our war game next 10 devilmon next 15 myotismon and etemon next 15 dark lords 5 for the climax with a huge battle
kino
Hudson Howard
YGO's fanbase are that bad?
Levi Richardson
This is a good question. Seraphimon's not so much a jobber as really lackluster, though. He's appeared three times in the series (in Hurricane touchdown and then twice in tri) and has gotten pretty much no screen time whatsoever. Of course, the same is true for Holyangemon, but whenever he's appeared, he's been the focus of the action and kicked butt (despite losing to BlackWargreymon, who was a mega and established to be really op and Holyangemon only lost because BlackWargreymon destroyed the Holy Stone).
Justin Turner
Seraphimon's reputation as a jobber comes from the entire franchise. To date, it's never won a single fight.
Daniel Morris
d-d-d-digimon digimon digimon d-d-d-d-digimon digimon digimon d-d-d-d-digimon When's the english dub coming out? I want it to be exactly like the old english dub.
Benjamin Gutierrez
>Hopes for the series? Angewomon Ladydevimon Lilymon Beach episode
I wonder if this time they're playing it as Yamato being the Lone Ranger / Antagonist from the start and only joining the team later.
Brody Moore
Tri dumpstered my expectations so hard that I'm not actually disappointed with this. Sure, not getting stuck in digiworld immediately is a huge departure from the original. But episode 1's story still had life-and-death stakes, which was what made survival in digiworld so serious. Tamers and Our War Game were mainly real world too. If we get a remake of OWG in expanded form, I'm ok with that.
I'm hoping they keep the character development arcs surrounding the crests. It could a good sign that they hinted at the crests already. Would be nice if they shortened the original's slow pacing at the beginning. But then again, it could also be a bad sign if it means crests are already activated and we don't get the activation arcs at all.
Judging by the times they did that with Kouji and Ken that'll last at least ten episodes.
Dominic Wright
He'll eventually join when TK is in danger. That's my hunch.
Eli Price
I fucking hope not. Yamato being naturally distant but looking out for his brother is more relatable and less played out. Plus seeing him disagree with Taichi's decisions over the course of the series and later having it bubble up into their two big spats was intense and rewarding.
Xavier Gonzalez
One of Seraphimon's biggest banes is that it often appears in works with Royal Knights. Compared to Holy Knight Digimon, Seraphimon really isn't worth much.
Blake Watson
I thought Last Kizuna Evolution was supposed to make up for how bad Tri was and had the original 01 people on it. Why does everyone hate it?
William Smith
As someone who also loved the english dub, just give up on ever seeing anything like it ever again.
Xavier Scott
Something amusing about Our War Game that no one has pointed out is how much of a bottle episode it is. Like, Taichi never leaves his apartment.
Isaac Roberts
Don't be a bitch.
Jason Harris
It's obvious that this show isn't trying to be exactly the same as the original. Not getting immediately stuck in the Digital World is probably meant to show that this isn't the same story.
Blake Cox
Not many have seen it but the novel adaptation has been translated and apparently it isn't very good.
Jason Cruz
kill yourself
Samuel Lee
>1st episode of the old one Misterious shit takes the 7 kids to a dangerous looking world and they are attacked by a big insect, they meet each other their weird looking monsters, who save them at the last moment evolving. >1st episode of the new one YOOOOOO MUH EEUU NET, MUH PLANT VIRUS, TAI TAI TAI TAI TAI, LET'S FIGHT VIRUS, YEHEEE WEIRD LITTLE THING LETS EVOLVE, AND EVOLVE AGAIN, KEEP BEATING THEIR ASSES YEEHEEEE Absolutely disgusting, toei can go fuck themselves.
Aaron Mitchell
Seeing this scrappy little lizard fight really does make me happy. The Child Digimon rarely fought in the original show, and even when they did, it was just signature attacks. Hell, even Gomamon might get in on the action.
