Don't like it? well...

So, after seeing like the third attempted Digimon World Dawn/Dusk LP I decided to try the game out. It's pretty fun, if not a bit high on the random encounter level.

But a little thing baffles me. Armor Digivolution is in the game, and you're given the Digiegg of Love early on, and Hawkmon is an early game Digimon.

Yet Halsemon isn't in the game, heck looking it up the only Armor Digimon that appeared in the show that are available are Flamedramon and Magnamon. :psyduck:

Pretty sure Magnamon is the only armor digimon that isn't 100% jogress fodder, too.

Grottomon's design-shape looks a little off to me, but on an individual basis I actually like it a lot for what it's worth. His hat, big honkin' nose and shoulderpads make an interesting profile, and I can totally look at it and say, "yep, this is a dwarf". That said, the tats are 100% necessary to make him fit in with the other spirit warriors; without that touch he ironically doesn't look 'mythical' enough, despite being based on a mythological creature. He's even got a red cap!

Gigasmon is fine, but he's too small to visually accomplish what he's supposed to be, and his horn-nose thing doesn't work very well as a character element. His tats are a lot more naturally ingrained in the design though, so that element looks a lot less tacked on.

This episode also demonstrates Frontier's almost signature "bizarre setting of the day" setup, with a vertical village serving as as a unique battle backdrop. I'll admit, sometimes the fights are kinda fun if only because the settings are really weird; earlier seasons of Digimon played with that as well, but generally not for very long.

well Digimon has always had scale issues with various Digimon species(like how in Savers they made BomberNanimon/Citramon absolutely gigantic) so it's not surprising that Gigasmon comes off as a tad small, if he ever gets used in another iteration of the franchise I wouldn't be surprised if he was made a little bigger

also one thing that often gets speculated by fans is if treating the Legendary Warriors as regular Digimon and using them in a normal evolution line(with H Spirits being treated as Adult stage, B Spirits as Perfect Stage, and the various Hybrid Spirits and the Ancient Warriors as Ultimate Stage Digimon), what Child Stage works best with them(Fire and Light have it easy as they have pre-existing Child stages to go with them, Flamon for Fire, and Strabimon for Light), here's what I feel works well for Earth and Metal for example;



Neamon-> Grottomon-> Gigasmon-> AncientVolcamon


Bokomon-> Mercuremon-> Sephirothmon-> AncientWisemon

the video games have some weird rear end evolution lines, some of them incredibly half assed, some prominent examples would be the Starter Digimon from Digimon World 3, cause while they maintain a vague thematic unity across their main evolutions(guns for Koemon, blades for Kotemon, and beasts for Bearmon), it's still a visual mess even by Digimon standards, here's my idea for better lines for them for example;



Koemon-> Hanumon-> Gokuwumon-> Zamielmon


Kotemon-> Musayamon-> Butenmon-> Tactimon


Bearmon-> Gryzmon-> Astamon-> Callismon


I'll admit I like making these lines when I'm bored(plus I'll admit I spend way to much time on the With The Will forum, and they love speculating about this sort of thing) and have made a lot of them, here's a bunch more http://imgur.com/a/VlJMy

So far, yeah, getting to rant about the problems in Frontier has been pretty cathartic, but I know that the next few episodes are really bad and I'm losing my drive.

What I might do is skip the atrocious episodes and review the more palatable ones.

I really do want to rant about some of the stuff that happens in later episodes.

If you hate a show enough that you have to talk into a bathroom mirror to psyche yourself up to continue it then you should probably stop watching the show.

That's a good idea. There is no need to dissect every bad episode when most of us here know the faults of Frontier very well. Skip those episode you have no interest in and review the ones you deem especially interesting/bad/good etc.

Meh. Its got enough anime to justify $8/month. For quality stuff, off the top of my head it has FMA: Brotherhood, Madoka (+ all three movies), The Devil is a Part Timer, Fate/Zero, and Death Note. :shrug:

2/4 of those is squarely on my "not particularly good" list, 1 I kind of flipflop on, and the last I haven't seen.

none of them is even half as exciting as say...GaoGaiGar though.

Hulu's had the first four Digimon seasons for a while, and you don't need a subscription to watch them, but there's ads even if you subscribe. I kind of wish they had Savers, but that was there for a time then got removed at some point.

A sort of re-imagining of the first Digimon World game but with a proper story and character designs by the Durarara/Devil Survivor guy. It's good and has a manga semi-adaptation that's running now.

The one thing I cannot ever excuse, EVER, the dub for is the god awful music changes. If there was a way to get the dub lines with the Japanese music, you'd have my favorite version of the show.

It's been forever since I saw it, but someone uploaded a dub on Youtube that was done by another country and kept all of the Japanese music. The voices were all in English but clearly had a pretty deep accent to them, and for the life of me I've never been able to find it again.

Also, Tentomon line is the best of the original 8. Accept no substitutes.

Might've been a Singapore dub. They keep all the original music including the OP/ED. I don't know if they did Adventure, but they definitely did Tamers and Frontier at least.
