Last post by Ryo-Okay - March 22, 2024, 11:20:39 AMA couple of the voice actors are appearing on a radio show to celebrate the anime's 10th anniversary as well as the 15th anniversary of the light novels. I'm not really expecting much, but maybe a new drama cd could be announced.

Last post by WarOmnimon - March 10, 2024, 09:22:08 AMQuote from: Ryo-Okay on March 10, 2024, 01:27:48 AMFirst 2 hours of Digimon Con were a wash, but the Liberators stuff saved it for me. We got a look at it and it is in the webtoon format, but then out of nowhere, they announced there will also be a Liberators web novel. They didn't make it clear if the novel would be in English simultaneously, but I assume it will. The idea of the webtoon and the novel being different stories that can connect sounds fun. Also Impmon being the female MCs partner makes me think we might get Beelstarmon which would be cool. Then they announce they are doing a Digimon manga digital magazine with a bunch of Digimon manga including something from Yabuno, which I assume will be a Dreamers follow up. That was the biggest announcement of the night, and I'm really looking forward to it.Yeah, this year's Digimon Con had a slow start but then we got to the Digivice Color (I know it has a longer name than that but I'm referring to it as the Digivice Color for simplicity sake; preordering that bad boy as soon as preorders go up at JYW of course) and Liberator reveals which saved it for me, too.
As for the new digimon revealed, I'm mixed. I think Pteromon's babies are great, I also think Pteromon's ultimate and Shoemon's ultimate are good. I really don't like the megas. Cinderallamon I can at least appreciate the inspiration and how they made Cinderella look as a Digimon, but Pteromon's mega is really ugly to me. I wish that his ultimate was his mega and they tossed in something else for the ultimate. Also, the fact that they still haven't fully revealed the pink digimon is strange. I wonder why they are keeping it so mysterious.
Overall, I'd say this was a slightly better showing than last year, but not by much. No new games and anime sucks, but I appreciate Bandai investing in cheaper mediums, like manga and novels, to keep the franchise going in between. The franchise feels like it is in a bit of a dry spell, but compared to what things used to be like between anime seasons we are getting way more content now then we would have years ago. My expectations for Digimon Con were low, but it just barely managed to surpass them.
Super happy that I called Zephagamon being a Vortex Warrior well in advance. Didn't expect GrandGalemon to also be a Vortex Warrior, though. MedievalDukemon isn't alone anymore!

Last post by WarOmnimon - February 26, 2024, 03:52:28 PMThe one thing I'm hoping from in Digimon Con's program lineup (Unless there's more than what they're saying in it) is that the Digivice 25th Anniversary Project is a Digivice Color. If that's a Super CSA Digivice, then this year's Digimon Con is already confirmed to be a nothingburger for me and I'm actually going to be angry. (Context: Digimon Con is happening right before my birthday this year, and the last thing I want to deal with going into my birthday on any year is disappointment.)

Last post by sacunnin - February 26, 2024, 12:51:42 AMI warmed up my elementary-level Japanese language skills to try and ask a few basic questions about the structure of the Kuramitsu family, the Naja/Seto thing, and whether we will see any more about those bioroid clones from the 21st century doujin.

Last post by Nonsuch Ned - February 25, 2024, 09:40:25 PMHer mom's not dead. Acha and the boy Wau were gathering medicine for her and Seina helped them. She survived. I think I remember her harshly berating the boy. She was completely on board with handing her single-digit aged daughter to a guy they just met: Shrine maiden's duty and she was of age according to their f'd up tribe. If Seina refused, mommy and everyone was ready to shun her for her failure.

Last post by Ryo-Okay - February 25, 2024, 12:11:50 PMDigimon Con's schedule is out and it is looking like a whole lot of nothing again this year. At least I have Liberator to look forward to.
