>watch Digimon 2020/remake >writing just keeps getting more atrocious (all the digimon get beaten up instead of just evolving to the level they unlocked literally in the previous episode so the evolution of the week can have the spotlight) >all the characters flanderized too. >matt just a generic Sasuke cringe edgelord and doesn't even play on his harmonica anymore >worse music in general >every episode is "monster of the week" with another main digimon leveling up. >basically no story in between.
sometimes it feels like they just try to dumb everything down on purpose and make kids stupid.
Have to drop this anime now, sadly.
Why can't we just have...good things? It's not that hard to write a shonen story.
>(all the digimon get beaten up instead of just evolving to the level they unlocked literally in the previous episode so the evolution of the week can have the spotlight) This always happened though. Even if they evolved they'd just get beaten up. The situation is so bad the fandom had this explanation that the first evolution had some magical extra boost that was never mentioned anywhere (and directly contradicted stuff from later in the show where it turns out Digimon of the same level could have vastly different power due to being more used to controlling it).
Isaiah Jones
The writer of the original anime (Nishizone) genuinely wanted to deliver a quality story for the kids.(inspired by Jules Vernes : 2 years of summer)
The writer of the new anime just want to bank on nostalgia
Digimon fights are terrible in general. What matters is the context that gives them their strenght and the music (BRAVE HEART)
Angemon vs Devimon is one of the best digimon fights and it's literally too guys standing, a punch, and it's over. No one has ever watched it for the action
Ethan Nelson
Tamers is the best season
Alexander Perez
Where the fuck was this shit ever said? or are you talking solely about 2020?
Austin Sanders
it's the fandom, he said.
Kevin Harris
>Angemon vs Devimon is one of the best digimon fights and it's literally too guys standing, a punch, and it's over. >No one has ever watched it for the action This. Still it's better than One Piece when for 90% of fights (especially Luffy's) this is also the only good thing about them, but they still drag on pointlessly.
Carson Cruz
What exactly did you want from the Digimon reboot OP?
Brody Morris
Remakes most commonly do not have the majority of the original staff.
Cooper Williams
shota butts
Cooper Harris
>zoomer >cringe Kill yourself, Zig Forumsedditor.
Gavin Baker
Not him but the same feeling of adventure and character development
That's it. The budget of this new reboot is high but the writing is complete ass
David Torres
So you basically wanted a 1:1 remake.
Cooper Flores
You can't read, can you, user?
Josiah Flores
>every episode is "monster of the week" with another main digimon leveling up. Almost just like the Original except 2020 includes more monsters, more opportunities to showcase different digimon and the animation isn't shit making for a much entertaining show. >basically no story in between. False. They're clearing building up to something much grander than the first 26 eps of OG Adventure did.
OP in general just has shit taste because the first 3 episodes by themselves blew everything that wasn't the character interaction in OG out of the water and that's only because they put more emphasis on the action and cool scenes.
I'm all for hating on new shit when it's bad but Adventure 2020 and last years Kitaro adaptation have been proof that new shit can still be great.
>the same feeling of adventure and character development I don't see how we've not had a feeling of adventure. This is a different approach to the subject.
If you checked the early information about this series, it wasn't going to have the same character development as Adventure 1999 did. Anyone who came into the reboot expecting that is disappointing themselves.
Evan Morris
I personally believe all form of entertainment (not just anime but also music but especially movies) took a giant shit after the economy crashed in 2006. A whole generation of writers and creators just never emerged because giant corporations wanted to play it safe with cash cows. This we have a bunch of spin-offs, remake's, sequels and outright trite crap. I also think varying on how the next 2 years play out we will see a renaissance of new entertainment of the likes we haven't seen since the turn of the millennia. Pic unrelated
Well, if you prefer a survival series. > it wasn't going to have the same character development as Adventure 1999 did. Anyone who came into the reboot expecting that is disappointing themselves. I know that's why I dropped it as soon as episode 4
Taichi, Yamato and Sora were acting like caricatures of themselves. Koushiro was great though
Nolan Gomez
>the first 3 episodes by themselves blew everything that wasn't the character interaction in OG
Too bad the character interaction is what made Digimon adventure memorable Also you forgot to include art direction and music (especially the music)
There are better shows if you want some action flicks with monsters.That's not why people love Digimon at all
Camden Wilson
>Well, if you prefer a survival series. That was what the early stages of 1999 were like as well. There's been nothing different in that regard.
>I know that's why I dropped it as soon as episode 4 In that case, why are you complaining if you've already given up on it?
Parker Barnes
The fact they didn't even bother with the backgrounds is showing.
No I mean, I want a survival series. Digimon adventure 2020 isn't really like that. The kids adapt waaaay too quickly and they're already blowing up shit left and right. >why are you complaining To explain OP why he thinks it sucks. His tolerance was better than mine but the signs were there since episode 4
Nathan Howard
>No I mean, I want a survival series. Digimon adventure 2020 isn't really like that. Oh, my mistake.
>The kids adapt waaaay too quickly and they're already blowing up shit left and right. That adaptation has been a concern, I agree.
Luke Gutierrez
>is only 12-13 episodes in With 1999 it was the exact same but worse and with worse animation. Matt being an edgelord would actually made him more entertaining than his lame ass 1999 incarnation.
Carson Allen
Because animation is not as good quality now as it was in the 90s. Productions had more than twice the budgets in the 90s than they do now.
Hudson Harris
>animation Please don't say this when the context you are talking about is 1999 Digimon where the animation sucked camel cock.
Brody Richardson
the original digimon series was not regarded for its animation
Nathan Thompson
Episode 13 of original digimon adventure is better than anything the remake has done so far. Good animation is neat, but if there is no emotional involvment you might as well watch random clips from sakuga booru
1999 opening >Showcase all the kids equally despite framing Taichi as the leader >Strange visuals that displays the mysterious and digital nature of the new world >the story is basically told through the opening >Subjective as fuck but there's a reason why Butterfly was the 4th most popular TV song from Asashi TV's recent pool
2020 opening >TAICHI TAICHI TAICHI >Oh yeah, and those other guys too >Digital world? >Story needs to be literally told at the beginning of the opening in case you're too stupid to get it >Nice music but doesn't differ from a song you could get from a sport anime
Robert Sanders
The soul is gone. Things aren't made with passion anymore.
Landon Garcia
>>Nice music but doesn't differ from a song you could get from a sport anime This might be my biggest complain. They didn't (wouldn't?) get Oota Michihiko to compose the insert-song again.
Everything that man touches is gold : Brave heart, break up, SLASH, beat hit, the savers songs.
I would have tolerated it for him
Michael Perry
Notice how I said the first 3 episodes. Even then, there's an established friendship with Taichi and Koushiro that didn't exist this early in OG. Sora isn't just a blank slate filler girl character(although you can kind of tell they are confused as to what to do with her again), Mimi is still great, Joe is Joe etc.
The music isn't as good as the original but it's doing it's job just fine, some tracks have grown on me. Still, the theme songs can't compare to Butter-fly, Brave Heart or even Seven but that isn't even fair to compare.
The art direction is different but once again, not bad, it's defintely going for that more digital rather than airy, mysterious environmental vibe that was in OG but there's still hints and references to that in 2020.
So the character interaction is good(minus the first 3 eps), The music is fine, the art direction is also good. What do you even want from 2020? To be 9 or 10 again like you were when you first watched it? Accept it for what it is or just watch Kizuna and move on. 2020 has been great so far and will probably keep getting better.
didn't the show-creator insists on having 7 children? this was meant to be just add for virtual bets, no need to have actually give the humans personality yet they did, within 10 episodes they do more character development than pokemon does with it one-dimenssional three protagonist for 100 episodes
Robert Roberts
>Oota Michihiko Believer was the sole reason I watched through all of Savers. That man is a genius.
Lincoln Murphy
>just watch Kizuna and move on That is a really suitable way to put it considering Kizuna does exactly that
Liam Hughes
>-oomer >copy and pasted OP What's next, taking hot takes on twitter? Go back to Zig Forums you dumb spic fuck.
Eli Morris
Yeah. He basically directed the show knowing kids are going to grow with it and wanted to deliver the best work he could. That's why they all have some trauma or problem linked to what a kid could experience. Very good stuff
Jonathan Adams
Almost perfectly imo. The new evolutions were kind of whatever but the message was very impactful. Perfect for nostalgiafags like OP.
I'm really mad rona ruined my chances of seeing it in thetres but I'm excited to watch the Blu-ray rip of it tonight.
