Any idea on which groups has the most accurate subs?

Digimon has gone through several different subbers through the series, and yet only one group in the end would complete it. Netflix does have S1-3 if you have access for convenience, but I can't remember who did which series anymore. Some can be a little tough to find.
 
I'm being a little hyperbolic with that. :P

02 Takeru has this odd character flaw that is never fully explored. He basically becomes enraged when people or Digimon do evil things (an odd contrast to his pacifist younger self). He beats up evil Ken at one point (which is arguably one of the greatest things in Digimon I have ever seen). He also somewhat hates Blackwargreymon.

It's sort of dropped after Shakkoumon shows up.

Edit: I found this on youtube for those who don't remember what I'm talking about. Dub first then sub. I love when Takeru catches the whip, so ridiculous.

Having recently rewatched Adventure I would say Takeru's pacifist younger self died with Angemon; Taichi "dying", the group breaking up, Yamato ditching him for months, and PicoDevimon manipulating him*; Pumpmon and Gotsumon; Dark Masters Body Count; Yamato ditching him again; and hypothetically watching the entire group get massacred by Piemon.

He goes from telling Elecmon that he wants to ask Devimon where the others are to trolling Pinocchimon while having a gun pointed at him.

That he sort of turned out the way he did in 02 didn't surprise me, that being said they still didn't handle it well, like a lot of things in 02.

*If anything it was ep 22 that marked the the turning point of Takeru, more than Angemon imo. Angemon destroyed his innocence, but ep 22 was the beginning of Jaded-Bitter-Angry!Takeru.
 
Actually it's for Joe, TK, and Kari :p
And it's only 500k clicks this time.

C-could Toei be learning?..

Nah.

I highly recommend it. The dub/sub are like night and day.

Yeah, I was amazed at how much better the soundtrack is alone. Bolero coming in during Tai and Agumon's growth arc was magnificent.

Anyone that has to deal with AngstyYamato as their brother would turn out jaded.

I say this as someone who actually likes Yamato.

What's weird about the whole thing is that it's never established as a bad character trait.

I mean Iori justifiably freaks out about it but then Yamato's like "Yeah, Patamon died once soooooo, it's okay."

I hope Takeru never goes into politics.

Freakin one of the best anime OSTs right here. A lot of the best 02 background music is on here too.

So if the following is true: Tai
gets his digivice stolen by some mysterious digimon
, is it probable we'll be seeing new ways of evolving? Would be a way of building up to a main villain without having Tai and Wargreymon destroying everything off the bat.

Probably true. There has to be a new hook to the show after all.
 
Yeah the Black Tower gig is over. Well, at least that ended up serving more of a purpose though.

If the original cast is leading again instead of the 02 squad, I wonder what sort of limitation they will put on V-mon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon and Wormmon to possibly render them useless in this season. Maybe the new threat can only be dealt with Digimon that can actually evolve into perfect and ultimate forms.

Only a handful of Digimon can stand against an Omegamon or Imperialdramon. They have to come up with a good limitation on the cast, and not just have like what happened to Kratos in the beginning of GOW3.
 
Yeah lame stripped of powers bits are lame :/ Like I said, at least in 02 it made sense and worked. I just hate dumb plot devices though.

Or this season could just retcon s2 out of existence
 
What if the original 8 lose their Digivices, but Izzy writes an app that basically turns their cell phones into Digivices, and they have to prove their Crest traits to level up their app and help their partners digivolve?

... See this is what fanfic is made of.

Anyways, so cannot wait for any new info.

I would be happy with this. Unfortunately, there are tons of people who actually like 02.

Doubtful... I don't think many fans would be too happy. Just need to retcon the epilogue as Takeru writing fanfiction of their futures... or something.

Psssh, it's totatally Yamato's or Daisuke's fanfic. Rockstar and first astronaut on Mars? Noodle cart on the cover of TIME?

What is this, kindergarten?

Izzy is probably the most OP Chosen Child. He hacks his digivice to make Tentomon digivolve.

Do they even need digivices at this point?

I just remembered something.

IZZY'S LAPTOP HAS A FREAKIN' DIGIVICE PORT BUILT IN ALREADY BEFORE HE GETS SWEPT UP IN THE DIGIWORLD WITH EVERYBODY ELSE

How the hell did they explain that?!

But man, I remember Izzy's family subplot being really interesting. I wasn't used to seeing that sort of characterization as a kid.
 
^ Is that just a rumor floating around? Seems pretty lame...

Apparently not a rumor. Some Japanese magazine did a short piece on the new series. Besides showing the silhouettes of all the digimon, it gave that short descriptor.

I don't really mind it because, again, if Tai had his digivice, he and Wargreymon could just destroy any threat outright.

So what we;re apparently getting now isn't exactly the type of story I wanted; but I understand why they did it.
 
I'm not going to judge a plot device with the little information we have. It's better to just wait until more is released.

Retcon the epilogue so we don't have to see the best characters have wtf endings(Matt an astronaut lololol) and children who look way too similar to their one parent. Oh and the whole "everyone get's digimon!" garbage.

This. Even as a kid, I was like how is that going to work...There'd be a whole lot of issues and the world would be much different - if they're going to go with this,at least show how potential issues were worked around and how the world changed.
 
Huh, 3 eggs... I'm guessing even Toei realizes they can't keep stringing people along. If they kept it at one egg at a time, they probably wouldn't finish until after the anime has started airing >.>.

Also if they are focusing on the original 8, does that mean Mimi will move back to Japan perma? Also will they tell their parents this time what's going on? I mean that was a lot of hiding things from them til near the end when they could probably have told them and not had to hide everything.

Speaking of, in 02, Izzys mum (this is dub only) asks "Where's your friend Tento". No idea if that was in the JP version but it was rather odd considering Tentomon would have been gone for several years by this point.

And also, she walked into the room and everyone did the usual stuffed animal routine. But Izzys mother would at least remember Patamon/Gatomon but obviously not in this scene.

Just some WTF bits from 02. I still loved 02 but there is a lot they could have changed in it to make it better. A lot of wasted potential.
 
Tai's parents and Izzy's parents are the best. Mimi's parents were pretty cool too. Joe's big bro was pretty rad. He had the car.

Now that I think about it, Digimon was probably one of the few series out there where the after-school-save-the-world crowd had family that actually mattered to the series.

Which is kinda disappointing when parents play such a limited role in 02.

Well, Ken's parents were the only ones who played an important role in 02.
I don't understand why they showed practically nothing of Daisuke's parents, as he was the leader. The other ones were almost non existent in the story, not that I was too interested about them to be honest.
 
I keep seeing this thread title and keep wanting to watch the first two seasons again.

Is there anyway to get the English dub on DVD/Bluray or something? (I probably wouldn't be able to buy them till mid next year tho.) (Also not VHS) I grew up with the dub and want to see that. Itunes/amazon will work too but last I checked I think a Japanese dub might've been up, but couldn't find out if ut had English Subs. I saw that atleast a few episodes were on YouTube but don't know if it has all of them and don't want to run into a dead end.

I'll take a English Subs instead if they are available, would prefer physical format but if its not region free I won't bother and go digital.

Same also applies for Season 3 & 4 since I also fondly remember them. And any other season they did if its available in English Dub/Sub.

I always want to rewatch this series since I watched Season 3 & 4 to completion and a good bit of Seasons 1 & 2 but I always can't seem to find it anywhere so I just assume its not available anywhere. Maybe I'm searching wrong or something. >_>

There's a lot of weird inconsistencies in 02. I mean, the whole explaining the crests not working completely disregards the first season's finale.

Also, the kids having trouble killing Digimon. (Which I guess Hikari and Takeru forgot they killed Airdramon in episode 13.)

I don't understand why Daisuke was even the leader

List of people who could lead better than Daisuke:
-Hikari
-Takeru
-Ken
-Iori
-Evil Ken
-The goggles

Hey, at least he's better than Miyako.
 
Will it right the wrong of tai and sara not staying together

Sora, breh.

I am sure I am not the only one who wants to see a Royal Knights arc. It would be even cooler if they also talked about the x-antibody:


Throw in a Ryo/Ken multiverse arc, a dark ocean arc, and a Sovereigns/dark masters arc and this season is destined for greatness. They have to retcon everybody gets a digimon in 02 tho.

He should have been the leader for sure. No one has a longer career as a digi-destined more than Takeru.

Yooooo, and I want to see Huckmon. Such a cute guy. :3

Aw man, that would suck. Truly, everyone would hate for such a thing to happen. \s

He should have been the leader for sure. No one has a longer career as a digi-destined more than Takeru.

Yeah, more experienced, more level-headed (most of the time), and the older kids would probably trust him more to lead.

But let's go with the dude who never thinks things through and has no attachment to the digital world.
 
Also, the kids having trouble killing Digimon. (Which I guess Hikari and Takeru forgot they killed Airdramon in episode 13.)

To be fair, Hikari and Takeru aren't as "Don't kill Digimon" as the new kids.

Iirc when the attacks by MarineDevimon/LadyDevimon were going on, Hikari and Takeru seemed well aware that they might need to kill them.

While the new kids couldn't accept it until their Digimon had to kill them to protect the kids.

The difference really is, the new kids until this arc hadn't met Digimon that were truly evil like Myotismon and Etemon and the Dark Masters were. While Hikari/Gatomon lost Wizardmon to an 'evil' Digimon and Takeru lost Angemon once in the fight against Devimon (not to mention Piedmon almost killing him and Hikari).

So yeah. It's not too inconsistent if you think about it like that.

Also on the whole leader issue from before, I personally think it should have been Hikari/Takeru who were the leaders. They were more experienced with this stuff after all but neither wore Goggles so it was not to be.
 
They had no problem killing Chimairamon.

To be fair, they established that he was an artificially created Digimon with the sole purpose of killing everything. He was basically a weapon that was destroying everything in it's wake.

Though I guess it's kind of a inconsistency but I just considered him the closest thing to a robot Digimon, one that wasn't really alive in a sense.
 
I'm being a little hyperbolic with that. :P

Wow TK is a boss. Dubbed wormmon is great too
 
I wonder if they'll fuck with Butterfly at all. I imagine this series will probably have a decent amount of 02 throwbacks - at the least I'm expecting to see Pegasusmon and Nerfitimon again - so I wouldn't mind if they tried some sort of Butterfly/Target combination - but only because I like that theme so much.

I'd be slightly underwhelmed if they just used the exact same version of Butterfly.

Wouldn't mind seeing those two armor digivolutions as long as we also get to see Angewomon/Angemon/MagnaAngemon at some point as well.

I would be happy with the original Butterfly myself but we'll see.

I feel like Hikari and Taichi had a discussion about killing Digimon at one point?

I could be making that up though, and yeah, it's not that inconsistent, just a weird thing to be brought up imo.
