The 20th Anniversary Memorial shorts have been subbed and released. The first, To Sora, was up before (with official subs IIRC) but the other four rest weren't. Having watched them all, their quality varies heavily, which is more than I expected out of them after how awful To Sora was. The second short is no better, it tries to be sweet and a mature view into how Agumon and Gabumon feel, but it falls flat because it still leads to Last Evolution and is fully aware of it. The third short, Medical Student Joe Kido, is significantly better. No connections to Last Evolution are established, and the whole thing is just a very good view into Joe and Gomamon's relationship. Very much worth the watch, especially if you're a fan of them (and they were my favourites as a kid, so I absolutely fall in the category). The fourth short, Jogress Evolution of Dreams, is mostly forgettable. It's the shortest of the lot and it's just one gag really, but it's inoffensive and actually does land the joke. Also it starts with some really gorgeous animation of Silphymon, who I didn't expect we'd ever see again. The fifth short, The Shibuya Heroic Saga of Pump and Gotsu, must be seen to be believed. I won't say anything about it. Even if you hate everything Adventure-related that came out recently, watch this one. You will not regret it.

The Pumpmon and Gotsumon short made me question life, my choices, and the nature of reality itself.

Digimon Card Game just promo’d a Nokia card and an Aiba card  Nokia lets you play an Agumon or Gabumon from your hand for free when she’s played and taps to make an evo for Greymon, Garurumon, or Omegamon cheaper. Aiba lets you tap it to draw when you digivolve and makes both players players lose memory when they attack with a rookie Digimon. Seems like a hard counter to Rookie Rush, a pretty common deck.

PMush Perfect posted:Ugh. I hate "silver bullet" design, especially as promos. Fix the problem at a fundamental level, change a rule, or ban a card. Don't just slap one cardboard bandaid on it and think that counts as antimeta. And if you absolutely do have to, at least make it something accessible. I don’t actually know if they’re promo cards, I just said promo because I hate the term “leaked” when it’s a company revealing their own products. Probably should have said “Revealed” It’s more than just a silver bullet for a specific deck. It also slows down yellow, which has a couple ways to cheat out rookies, specifically Lucemon (which has ludicrously high power and cost to play for a rookie) and BushiAgumon (which has haste), and a few other decks that rely on cards like Veemon, which has Jamming, in Imperialdramon Blue. The “rookies give -1 memory when they attack” effect applies to both players, so it changes how you build your deck, too. Nokia’s the card that annoys me. Omegamon Red is already the best deck in the format, and has been for a while, so giving it more tools sucks.

Normally I'm left feeling nothing after every episode. If I do feel something, it doesn't tend to be good. On this one though? On this one I'm confused and for several reasons at that. Let's start from the beginning here: I really like Pegasmon. I think Pegasmon is a really good design that works as a Patamon evolution far more than Angemon did, and it's a cooler design than Angemon on top of it. Having Pegasmon instead of Angemon is not something I'm going to complain about. Much less a Pegasmon that looks so drat good as he did this episode. My problem here is Pegasmon appearing now. In 02, Pegasmon appeared at the most logical moment: where Armor was the next evolutionary step, because Adult onwards was unusable due to the Dark Towers. It put Patamon on an equal level to everyone else. Here? Here Pegasmon appears when Taichi already has a Mega, and we're sure to get everyone else's soon. It's far too late, regardless of how Patamon in Adventure: is specifically set up to be significantly more powerful than the rest, regardless of stage. It also irks me because evolutions in this series tend to feel completely unearned. This one didn't. There was a great set up with Patamon being weakened, then going through his memories and obtaining newfound drive. With Takeru deciding to stay by his side no matter what, and confronting the enemy despite his weakness. The big part was on Patamon rather than Takeru, which is heavily unusual for Digimon and even moreso for Adventure, but it still worked extremely well. It genuinely put forward the idea that they embody Hope in a way Adventure: has consistently failed at with everyone else, and once again proves that this series' Takeru is fundamentally a far better character than he ever was in the original Adventure. The whole thing should have me enjoying the ever loving hell out of it, and don't get me wrong, I did! I did in a way Adventure: has never accomplished before! But getting Takeru a form two levels behind Taichi is just such an incredibly weird move that it actually takes away from my enjoyment, especially when this was basically the perfect moment for HolyAngemon to appear, putting Takeru on a superior level to everyone else (because HolyAngemon is just that busted) and making it so that he won't lag behind when everyone else gets their Megas soon. That didn't happen, and the whole "different path" thing rings hollow because it's not like we're getting a HolyPegasmon or something, we know the next evolutions are HolyAngemon and Seraphimon, so he'll just get the same forms he had in the past. Beyond that I'm confused about Patamon's whole "we met again, Takeru!" thing. From his words, it seemed like he's wanted to meet Takeru since significantly before Takeru was even born. It's no doubt setting up for something, and the early series theory of this being a time loop feels relevant now after I completely forgot about it before. I'm not sure where it's going, but I can't say I'm not curious. Less important: god, we got some really bad faces early in this episode. Very off-model, but it was followed by an impressively clean fight with extremely good expressions and attacks, so I won't complain. They got the good animators where they were needed most. Cerberumon's face when he gets kicked by Garudamon was insane.

I've had to just completely put power levels and comparative ranking of forms out of my head and take each episode's fight in a complete vacuum. In that context, Pegasusmon's debut felt really solid and earned. You can't bust out the "Holy" angels at the drop of a hat, so Patamon gets a more traditional evolution that lets him power up without going full god-mode. I really like the idea, though I kinda wish something related to digi-eggs/armor was part of the evolution sequence

I really like the idea, though I kinda wish something related to digi-eggs/armor was part of the evolution sequence I’m happy that this implies Nefertimon will come back as well. It’s a nice enough compromise to let Takeru and Hikari contribute without completely overshadowing everything else, while keeping the angels powerful enough to earn their hype. I did love the designs of the Armor forms (aside from Shurimon who was just too different from Hawkmon) so an excuse to have them back is welcome. That said, I do agree that is coming in pretty late, but they could have the two operating at or slightly below a power level on par with the other Ultimate/Perfect parters so they can be relevant and only go full angel in more desperate circumstances.

Pegasmon appeared in the Digivice: as an evolution of Patamon, Nefertimon didn't as one of Tailmon (or at all). Furthermore, Angewomon is appearing in a couple of episodes, so going a level back wouldn't make much sense.

 New Argomon has the ability to put all Tamers to rest and they can’t be untapped, making a pretty good card that’s also flavorful in a really fun way. Also there’s an Omegamon Zwart card that’s been announced, surprising literally nobody, but more surprisingly, there’s a Shoutmon DX card, that lists OmegaShoutmon and ZekeGreymon in its text

The next game is likely to be another Story game (confirmed to not be a Cyber Sleuth though) which are the games with the biggest rosters, so I think we should be safe there. Of course, that implies Survive will ever come out, which I am significantly less sure of.

It's only fair. We already have Kamen Riders, there are a few Ultraman references here and there, and you can make a Super Sentai with ease from some Digimon (the Aegiochusmon come to mind) so we needed a PreCure here too.Omnicrom posted:Someone get Yuuki Aoi on it. While undeniably fitting, LovelyAngemon is almost definitely the Mega for the Plotmon that's already a character in ReArise (following the same pattern of HeavyLeomon and Mitamamon before it), so her VA is Takamori Natsumi. This also makes it the fifth canon Mega for the Plotmon/Tailmon line, after Holydramon, Valkyrimon (through Jogress), Ofanimon and Ofanimon Falldown Mode.
