I didn't notice it until it was pointed out, but is anyone else bothered by Sora and Hikari having the exact same faces in the promo picture for Tri? I wasn't really feeling the art before, and now I think I know why.

I wasn't really interested in Digimon past season 2, so hearing they're making a sequel to it has me a bit interested. I don't really know very much about how the series really is these days, how are the other seasons?

I liked Tamers and Savers a lot because having most of the action takes place in the human world from the get-go is more compelling than having in what amounts to generic fantasy world. Savers is especially fun because the protagonist is the most shounen lead ever.

I found Xros Wars pretty dull, because they largely did away with the traditional evolution stuff. The Transformers-esque combiners and new Super Saiyan evolutions just make for some really boring Digimon designs.

Wait, are you saying you believe that a digimon's different level forms aren't decided until the moment that they digivolve? Because that sounds vaguely like digital Darwinism.

Wasn't that the whole idea behind SkullGreymon?

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.

After talking a bunch about how it "would never happen" in the LP forum I'm super glad this is happening. Amazon lists its date as December 31st. I assume that means new yearsish? Oh well time to suck it up and get a PS4, not like I wasn't going to with NIER 2 being announced.

It's a placeholder date, because all we have for a release date is 2016, and it's better for a retailer to not get people's hopes up by setting a temporary date too early.

It was kinda strange they changed one Japanese surname to another Japanese surname, but I guess it was to stop kids from making a joke about spelling Yagami backwards.

I straight up don't know poo poo about Japanese, so don't get into an argument on my account. What I was experiencing was the equivalent of people writing "desu" in the middle of traditional English. (This was online, nobody was actually pronouncing anything.)

My point is that you have to be a little bit weeb to write such a westernized name in it's Japanese phonetics.

From now on, I'm only going to spell it 大丈夫.

I'd be more upset about it if I wasn't skipping through the dialogue in this game as fast as possible. I'm on chapter 5 now and find myself bored to tears.

Maybe you should start reading the dialogue.

Going full multimedia like that only makes me think that we'll get a poo poo f2p phone game full of IAPs to make it even remotely playable, with a half-assed anime that only exists to sell said game. The fact that Digimon seemed to fix itself on appealing to an older demographic to survive, while this basically screams "going for children who have no idea how money works so they'll buy everything", doesn't even remotely help.

It might just be me being overly negative though. I also had no expectations whatsoever of Tri, and that sure proved me wrong.

You know the purpose of pretty much all anime is to sell merchandise and manga and poo poo, right? Hell, it's where most of the profit comes from. That's why they all have sponsors bankrolling their shows.

I was afraid of that. Is it :filez: to ask which subbing group to go with, or would that be against the rules?

L Subs are the only decent ones, though there's a gap of like eps 10-20 where you have to rely on other groups, where I'd say Cakesub is better than Waffesub when it's an option.

Remember, most people here don't speak or read Japanese, and Google Translate doesn't do much more than slam down random attempts at words when half the text is made up terms to begin with. We need translations.

If something is wordy and redundant, there's no reason a general description can't suffice.
