An insult to the original with zero worldbuilding, almost no character drama, fewer tracks, shoehorned-in new Digimon that feel forced, shitty story that never picks up pace because of weekly fights against fodder (literally a monster of the week show because it's made for zoomers with ADHD) and shit writing like Digimon not evolving even though they could, getting clobbered just so their friend can evolve for the first time and have the spotlight.
My take after watching till now.
>Toei
I tols you guys so but the nostalgiatards wouldn't listen. Toei is a piece of cancer that could do no good.
As someone who was still hopeful for this around episodes 15-20, I basically agree with you now. I thought they might get all the evolutions out of the way early and take the concept somewhere new and interesting, but it looks like it's just mindless action and no character. The only true improvement is the animation, everything else has taken a hit.
imagine defending the garbage character drama from the original
the dogshit fight scenes and the awful worldbuilding
take off your shitty nostalgia goggles and rewatch the original
>now
Were we arguing in earlier threads? kek
I kinda lost hope as soon as Matt didn't play on his instrument, they didn't find the comfy bus, the unironically creepy phone cells with the 10/10 OST, etc. Watch the original again, it's truly brilliant for a merchandise anime.
I wish Toei wasn't as dumb as you and realized that the things you are shitposting about are exactly why people loved Digimon, not some dumb fights.
You mad about that and not the fact that Toei is continuously milking Adventure for nostalgia bucks when they should have stopped at Tri? Dude let's be real, Adventure wasn't perfect but it was fun.
>no its not 1to1 remake to the original therefor its bad
shit wouldn't sell and nobody would watch it if it was a 1to1 remake
Digimon are fighting monsters you fag. We expect to see some kaiju battles with a bit of character progression.
Sorry for phrasing it badly. Of course I didn't expect a 1:1 remake, but the things I mentioned were great and they didn't come up with anything equally cool. Literally nothing memorable happens in the first episodes. Nothing. Anyone could have written that.
Then they even kill off Ogremon early so now Leomon doesn't have anything to play off of, which was what made him and Ogremon cool in the original. Now all of Ogremon's character development happens in one episode and he is a braindead caveman.
character drama was the cringiest shit ever
>lets have tai and yamato argue again for 20 episodes
Yeah, that they pander to people who literally hated the original anime is exactly the problem here. Thanks for underscoring it.
Agreeing 99%, I love the new battle track and even jog with it. But yeah rest is shit
>Were we arguing in earlier threads? kek
Maybe, I check in here every 5 or 10 episodes maybe.
>instrument, bus, etc
Honestly, I didn't really need to see those things so long as they went somewhere new with the characters, instead they are complete flat-lines with no conflicts, challenges, or personality.
>I still haven't heard Ravel's Bolero
whats even the point of this reboot?
Even as someone who was annoyed by this, it's miles better than them arguing for less than 1 episode. Obviously the ideal is that they take a few episodes to argue, but we're never getting that now.
Actual retard take, at least the characters in the original had *something* going on, the remake is literally just blank slate action protags who have no soul. It could be forgiven if they were actually building towards something other than [stronger] Omegamon to beat up [insert bad guy with no personality] but they clearly aren't.
>muh drama
tri had plenty of drama and look what a fucking failure that was
Maybe don't cherry-pick my points and at least try to see the greater picture. Tri had quite literally zero actual "Digimon adventure" and respective worldbuilding. It was basically a multi-episodcal food and fashion commercial with occasional fights. And the drama was completely contrived and autistic. In the first season most of it was at least comprehensible, in Tri it's just random bullshit like Tai suddenly not wanting to fight anymore or crap light that. Holy fuck, was it bad. The new one is at least better than that, true.

Kill yourself, Zig Forumsedditor.
drama is necessary for a good story, not sufficient for one, shit argument.
>but the things I mentioned were great and they didn't come up with anything equally cool.
>it's miles better than them arguing for less than 1 episode.
No it's not for one Taichi here isn't an obnoxious shithead and Yamato isn't a fucking faggot
>drama is necessary for a good story,
Look at this retard
No those are very objective statements. You don't even have to like what they did but it's a fact there was mysterious stuff going on and characters shows more traits (like Matt playing his instrument, which also was a great melody), whereas in the 'remake' they for some retarded reason start with only two characters--as if the character dynamic between Tai and Sora was ever anything to ring home about and as if it wasn't the group dynamic that was entertaining in the original--just stumbling from fight into fight into fight.
True, instead they're entirely generic characters without any rough edges. Exactly the type of characters we're reading books for.

>mysterious stuff going on and characters shows more traits
No that's just because you watched it as a kid
>mildly curious because I watched Digimon with my brother back in the day
>everyone defending it sounds like a 12 y/o 90-IQer swinging unfunny insults
Always the best red flag- guess I pass
>IP didn't move
Of course
Gennai, the mysterious phone cells all the characters are wondering about or creeped out by, the bus, all of them sitting at a comfy bonfire together and some tending to each other or Matt playing music only in literally the first few episodes are things that don't happen anymore when I watch it as an adult? Well damn.
I mean, if Super doesnt wake you up, then i guess you are already lose cause
>not using Zig Forums x
It's my third post, retard

You mean the guy that's not even a character and exist to expell exposition because the writer couldn't think of anything else

I basically give you the short version of the series from the 1st episode up to now
Are you talking about 99 Adventure or the reboot?
>not a character
Based goalpost-moving retard.
This was exactly what Adventure was
I mean you've proven to have a mind of a child so I failed to see your point
The first line should have tipped you off that he is talking about Colon cancer. Almost every episode contains some increasingly boring, generic real-world shit for some reason.
>tfw the 50th time three of the kids are sitting at some playground yelling at the laptop while their digimon fight squids in the matrix
An absolute disaster only someone on the spectrum could say a good thing about. In the original, it was actually something special when they returned back to the real world (and left it again). It was amazing compared to today's shit.
>The first line should have tipped you off that he is talking about Colon cancer
But that was also in Adventure>Almost every episode contains some increasingly boring, generic real-world shit for some reason.
But that's also in Adventure
>But that was also in Adventure
no
user, there were only 3 times something big happened to the real world in Adventure, with the 1st time being in its 20 something episode, the second time it actually involves others *actual characters* besides the children, and the 3rd time is in the final episode
