Animation Digimon: Series Discussion

Found out (via the Power Rangers topic of all things) that Digimon is coming back! It's appearing on Nick (as it's now owned by Saban) right after Megaforce.

Sept 6th at 12:30 Central Time.

I'm excited, it could be horrible, true, but until I say that, I'm excited.

Agreed. Same here. The last new series, Data Squad, aired on Disney and I really didn't care for it. Hopefully the new one is better. I've heard good things about the Japanese version, Xros Wars.
 
Oh sorry! It's a new series! It's called Digimon Fusion.

Yeah it's adapted from Xros Wars

Basically the concept of evolution is nearly gone. Evolving takes years now.

They form forms like Power Rangers

Biggest formation was a cross of 7 digimon


Also Greymon has been redesigned

Found this on netflix recently and immediately started re-watching it. It's rare that they make children's television like this anymore. Which is a shame. Definitely a fond memory of my childhood.
 
I've heard about Xros Wars but didn't watch it (it was only online), I'll check out Fusion and then review it for the site I work for. If it's good I'll keep going, if not, well.....

I'm not sure how I feel about them getting rid of Digivolutions but they've done well with mixing it up before. Season 4 was totally different than the first three and it worked well so I'll give Fusion a chance.

Next Saturday can't come soon enough!

Edit: Just realized I typed the wrong date. It's the 7th, not the 6th, sorry.

I remember seeing part of that scene on Youtube while i'll rewatching seasons 1-4. Wonder how they'll adapt it here.
 
That scene was awesome lol , can't wait for the new series

And finished season 2 on Netflix I hope they add tamers soon

And if anyone hasn't signed the petition to bring a digimon 3DS game to the state please sign the petition!

I read the preview via the Nickelodeon site, it sounds epic! I'll watch it, review it and post the link to it here.

Here's hoping we get another great Digimon series!
 
And so it begins!

The new season of Digimon has aired on Nickelodeon and I have the review of the first episode.

What do I think about Digimon Fusion? Find out here!

Note: I did not watch Xros Wars, I'm going into this fresh which I feel is the best approach.
 
So this new series on Nick, Digimon Fusion, is the dubbed version of Xros Wars?
 
More or less yes. I know that they redubbed it for the US but I'm not sure what they've changed content wise.

Again I reviewed it with little to no knowledge of Xros Wars.

Oh if anyone can find a good quality youtube vid of the opening sequence to Fusion (not the theme song the opening sequence) I'll post it in my review! I couldn't find a good one, make sure it's English! Thanks!
 
AODigimon pointed out the changes (Regarding her breast area) on Lillith/Laylamon on facebook.

 
Stuff like that is always changed when it crosses the ocean. It's just one of those things.
 
Just watched it on DVR this morning, I really liked it. It's weird, I felt like I should find Mikey's two friends really annoying, but they just came off endearing and quasi-charming. I also like the whole general-of -a-digimon army angle a refreshing change up from the standard tamer/digidestined-single digimon dynamic. It's a good change up but it doesn't seem as jarring as it was in season 4. The lead is also pretty likable, unlike that kid from data squad. I look forward to seeing more.
 
DarkSovereignty: Yeah I like it a lot too. It's weird but in a good way, after all it's Digimon. Of the two friends I found Angie the most annoying. The whole "You'd rather play basketball than hang out with me?" thing was a little too on the nose about what might happen. Jeremy fared better but we'll just have to see where they go.

Mikey was awesome. I raved about him in my review. He's likeable, got good qualities, got the googles, he's the complete package. And with the possibility of flashing back to his childhood to see his upbringing I think it'll be interesting to see where he goes as a character.

I can't wait to see how the "general and armies" thread plays out. We already know there are two humans with Digimon already in the world. Then there's Tactimon and his crew waiting in the wings. How will that all play out I wonder?

Season 4 was great. One of my favorites, set a different tone and look than Seasons 1-3. Fusion may not be as jarring but it definitely changes the status quo. The DigiFuse aspect will be interesting to watch as well. I can't wait to watch the next episode.

Oh yeah, a guy in my review asked me this and now I want to ask you. What do you think about the new theme song? I like it, very Digimon, what about you?
 
Second episode was pretty good in my opinion, Angie and Jeremy are a little annoying but we'll get over it....hopefully.

My review will be up soon. Hope to talk to you in the comments.
 
Finished Adventure 02 on Netflix, left kind of saddened/depressed. (Probably because my nostalgia trip is over)

I'll watch season 3 if they decide to put it up, though as a kid I didn't like it as much as season 1 & 2 due to not wanting to accept the new cast. Maybe I'd enjoy it more a 2nd time around. I couldn't get through season 4 back then, but would like to give it another shot.
