Not seeing the similarities here, other than the brown hair.
Tai shits all over Tsuna, in both the looks and personality department.

Well yeah i meant the look :/
Still Vongola Tsuna is awesome and his awakening music is one of the GOAT
Sheesh! The second season wasn't that bad, you guys.

It had Daemon and the dark ocean at least.

The dark ocean was barely in the show and so was Daemon. Need I remind you of 02 dropping Dagomon in episode 13 and ignoring it forever.
i wonder why people aren't mentioning the fact that this director is the same director for school days.
hmmm....
well i have hope for this series regardless :3
Edit: JESUS CHRIST he also directed "Because I Don't Like My Big Brother At All!"
All hope is lost. Both of these are... well... High on my most hated anime list.
Damn it second edit:
Found this... like it better than the official one:
Hikari and Sora are creeping me out n

Do I need to post the list of reasons why 02 was bad again?
Dagomon, the Dark Ocean, and Demon need to come back in Tri.
So much promise, so much disappointment...
now i forget, was it better or worse than Frontier?

02 is the worst Digimon season imo (though I haven't watched the second season of Xros Wars, which I hear is bad).
Funny, because it was my favorite as a kid.
Why though? (Didn't saw your list)

Taken from previous thread.
For those who don't know:
Daisuke = Davis
Miyako = Yolei
Iori = Cody

Same reaction, the poster is the stuff of dreams for someone who was 13 at the time and loved only the oringinal series.
And Mimi looks cool as hell.
Hm, never thought about it that way, and never noticed those issues.
I might have to watch it again with that List in Mind.
Thanks for the List though, it's always intresting to see what kind of you can miss by watching casually as kid
If you don't have the time, These excellent videos do a pretty good job of actually illustrating just about all the problems of Season 2.

So do any of the seasons past the 1st two take place in the same universe?
Music is indeed awesome :O

Xross Wars is divided into three seasons, all in the same world. The first two are basically two parts of the same story, but the final one, Hunters, is a story break with new protagonist and old characters in supporting roles, like 02.
Hunters also has crossovers episodes at the end with all the past heroes appearing, but they're coming from different worlds and that crossover itself ends up rather disappointing since the final episode is almost entirely focused on Hunters' main hero, with everyone else sidelined. It has quite a few good moments before that, but, before that final arc Hunters is likely the most episodic Digimon season ever, with basically no plot at all aside from some brief foreshadowing.
Adventure 2 had way too many problems due to all the writer changes. Hopefully this new season will be far more consistent, and have a higher quality than the past Digimon seasons.

It surprised me how angry I got at 02 after I rewatched it. Adventure got me invested in Digimon again and 02 fell off a cliff. Such a disappointing season. I wouldn't mind if they retcon it.
There are good points brought here that I didn't even mention. The second half of the season makes no sense. -.-
I forgot evil Ken took up the entire first half...

so is sora also tai's sister now or what
I was so excited but then I saw the designs -_____-
WTF. Their eyes look weird as well.
It looks like the entire cast has been painted over with some generic anime style
Also they got the director of School Days......are they trying to ruin everyones childhood. I'm worried.
Oh and might as well chime in......Matt sucks.

What we can hope for is that they make a real effort to make this something respectable. They can't want to make a fanservice series or a children's anime. They need to take what the original series did and really expand on it.
Yeah, I know I'm stating the obvious, but its the first step that may well be forgotten or ignored by the producers.

I wouldn't expect much out of Toei, but I'll hope for the best. :/

I don't remember the villians being grey so much as having sympatetich stories or moments. Then you remember that the main motivation is
an adult wanting to visit the Digital World because grief
Maybe I remember wrong, I just hated the ending.

Vamdemon killing Team Rocket was actually pretty depressing. It makes you realize how straight up evil all the villains were in the first season.
Oikawa could have been done better, but his backstory and relationship to Iori/Cody were probably the more interesting parts of the show.

Oh I agree with you, but their motives were hardly in the gray spectrum of morality. Just that the villians of 1 were literal monsters that were threatening most of time (and was awesome in it, in what other show a bunch of kids runing from monkey with sunglasses and a teddy bear will be serious and self doubting moment for the protagonists).
Paper Sparrow

I don't think they ever reached the "true morally grey area" but I think it was heading in the right direction. The season focused more on its villains development than its main cast (to its detriment honestly).
Ken, Blackwargreymon, and even Oikawa are more memorable to me than Adventure's villains (except Vamdemon). I think what 02 was attempting to do was one of the few commendable aspects of the season.
Then Tamers came, shook its head, and said "This is how it's done."
I can't even blame a shift in writers mid season as to why it failed so hard. It's almost as if people literally forgot how to write.
So many plots in the later half of Season 2 go nowhere.
Really hoping Tri fixes a lot of the problems. Dude is right when he mentions the poor character development.
Man was the characterization crap

I love the new designs, really.
Feels like the anime is aiming towards a more "mature" audience (not only kids but teenagers and even young adults, since they were kids when the season 1 was aired)

I think there is still egg clicking. Hoping the next round shows the Digimon.

I liked Ken in both villain and hero characterizations and Oikawa could have worked better. But honestly they were less memorable to me even well better developed. In the end I don't remember what was the point of blackwargreymon outside "we need someone threatening but not being the main bad"
It'll be interesting to see where we go from here if the Season goes well. Like would they do a special for Tamers? Or stick with the proven global popularity of the Adventure kids, and turn it serial? I guess we'll see.
Here's hoping we get some story details on the 20th. Maybe even a small trailer. I doubt it, but one can hope.

Yeah I love the new designs as well.
I like the old designs mostly out of a place of nostalgia. It would have looked really out of place to keep those around and would have lost a lot of interest from potential new viewers, so it only makes sense they went with a more modern approach.
At the very least I know this show will be gorgeous to look at, after having seen Tsuritama. I definitely wouldn't call this art style "generic anime" though, it's weird seeing people say that.

That's unfortunate. Well at least now that something substantial was shown, maybe the next round will go a lot faster.

Blackwargreymon was pointless and way too angsty, but I remember his deal better than Etemon. However, I think at this point it comes down to personal preference.
Some part of me believes it's mostly nostalgia. Like I said, it was my favorite season as a kid.
It reminds me a bit of Hosoda's style honestly, which isn't bad at all.
These videos are very good. Thanks for the link.
