>https://x.com/DM_Partners/status/1879725650942284167Taichi and Yamato designs for the upcoming Digimon Adventure Beyond pv on March 20th
I'm so fucking tired of Agumon and Gabumon.
>>275217440The only thing that's ever worked outside of Adventure was Tamers and they're too afraid to do anything with that one. I wish they'd just let the franchise die already.
>>275217410Why is Bandai so obsessed with First Generation Digimon>>275217767Everyone iteration seems like some kind of experimental project, they have no idea who they want to even cater to any more. Last digimon game was like survival horror some shit.
>Digimon Adventure: Beyond is a special music video project that will be making its debut during Digimon Con 2025 later this March.I know Adventure is their go-to but it already feels like a lifetime since Ghost Game and other original Digimon series.
>>275218099>Why is Bandai so obsessed with First Generation Digimon?Nostalgia sells well on japan.
>>275217410>partners and digivicesSo director Kakudo is completely ignoring the last shit movies he walked away from. Good.
https://withthewill.net/threads/digimon-adventure-beyond-brave-heart-cassette-crowdfunding-project-announced-starts-january-20th-cast-info.33003/250000 yen (5 people)- the 3500 yen level, a copy of the recording script for Digimon Adventure Beyond signed by cast members Natsuki Hanae (Taichi), Yoshimasa Hosoya (Yamato), Chika Sakamoto (Agumon), Mayumi Yamaguchi (Gabumon).A chart showing off the different levels.On top of that, this also confirms the return of Natsuki Hanae, Yoshimasa Hosoya, Chika Sakamoto, and Mayumi Yamaguchi as their characters.
Literally every fan is just asking them to make a new game, and all they do is pump out this low-effort shit for the millionth time.
>>275218566>no speaking lines for other charactersThey never mattered anyway.
>>275218673Her va is now Sarada.Good for Chika.
>>275218656Because those fans consoom it. Bandai clearly doesn't care about Digimon but they don't mind it printing some cash a couple times a year via sobre dogshit "project" that has no value other than nostalgia.
>>275218656Why would I want a new game when CS was unbalanced dogshit and the next game is set to focus on ugly humons instead of actual Digimon?
>>275219857>release good shit like the Survive, the VB, Seekers, Liberator, the card game>"fans" don't give a shitI wouldn't give a shit either if I were Bandai. Fuck the "fans".
>>275217410new shit?
>>275219927I'll give you the VB as the absolute bare minimum since vpets is the thing the whole franchise revolves around, but>a VN, a webnovel, a promotional comic, and a generic bamco card gamedoesn't even begin to make up for no new Digimon world or JRPG, nor cancelling every non-Adventure project despite how bad Tri, Kizuna, and Colon were.Don't take rice off the menu and go "You aren't even grateful for the millet we're selling" ya shill
>>275217410Digimon and Precure are two extremes, Digimon is extremely conservative, Precure is extremely iiberal.Precure is boldly innovative every year, constantly creating new topics for this series, so after 20 years of serialization, it was still ranked in the top five in the Japanese twitter search popularity rankings until a few days ago.Digimon hates innovation and will always only hype Digimon Adventure, while other series are marginalized. I don’t know whether it is Bandai’s responsibility or Toei’s responsibility that Digimon has failed to this extent today.
>>275220152I wasn't aware Precure preached any kind of economic politics
>>275220152Is that why Toei hired a former Precure producer to lead the new Digimon team, to innovate?
>>275217410notto disu shitto agen
>>275217440>>275217767>>275218099>>275218459>>275218656Adventure is the FFVII of anime."hey let's make something new in one of our other stories that has no other media than one single game/season? nah, let's pick *that* one that has movies, 5 games/seasons, novels, ovas, drama books, musicals, comic books, remakes instead"
>>275217440I'm so tired of Digimon not ending..
Set before or after Kizuna?
I haven't watched anything adventure related since tri.
>>275219857>Because those fans consoom it.Tri flopped, Kizuna was hard-carried by China, Colon flopped, 02:TB flopped. That's what's so insane about the Adventure milking - it doesn't even sell and they still keep forcing it down our throats anyway.
>>275222916its about how Tai and Matt got Agumon and Gabumon back after Kizuna
>>275220152I like Precure too, but this isn't entirely accurate. There is no Precure equivalent of Tamers or Xros Wars (I know it was shit) or Ghost Game or Survive - radical changes in tone and/or genre. Precure has a much easier time moving on to new themes and casts every year, but the basic formula hasn't changed much since Futari Wa. Digimon is very innovative when it's allowed to be: like how to this day, the only other games that play like World 1 are Re:Digitize and Next Order, for example.Precure has also started dipping its toes into the nostalgia sequel trend like Digimon did, although Otona and Mirai Days aren't complete dogshit like what Toei's done to Adventure, and they aren't pissing off significant parts of the fanbase by showing blatant favoritism to only one season.Terrible management by Bandai and Toei is the only reason why Digimon isn't at least as big as Precure, if not bigger.
>>275220023Just a music video with new animation.
>>275224873Original ideas have a higher chance of being Xros Wars and Appmon, which also don't make money. Or best case scenario Ghost Game, which did pretty okay but not enough to for the bean counters to keep going until they make a mistake like Frontier/Xros Wars/Appmon
Tousouchuu is in its final arc. Do you think the next show in that timeslot will be Digimon-related?
>>275225293That and Digimon's fumbles (there's more fuck ups than 8 bad nostalgia melodrama movies and a spectacle over substance reboot) tend to scare people off harder than Precure's fuck ups. Digimon Sentai put the series in a grave for 3 years, Savers while "competent" is very bland B-tier shonen carried by the Digimon name, Xros Wars is Frontier's gimmicky nonsense but worse and a prototype of Colon's more cancerous traits, and Appmon was way too kid orientated to the point they had to pander to fujos in order to stay relevant.
How bad will be the next Digimon con?
>>275217410So Digimon Survived?
>>275228513I only expect more TCG stuff, V-Pets, that Adventure short, and maybe pointless oddities like dubbing Appmon since its part of the TCG
>>275228609We got alotsa TCG stuff last Bandai Cards stream alotsa new decks coming this year and Zephagamon new form.
>>275228567Its stuck in cheap merch mode because the people who own the licenses are cowards
>>275218099>, they have no idea who they want to even cater to any moreThis makes it sound as a recent thing and not something that happened about 20 years ago.
>>275225293>Digimon is very innovative when it's allowed to beThere has to be a limit because otherwise you lose your identity and become basically just a name, as happened with digimon.PreCure also doesn't even have to change much because the entire point is aiming subsequent generations of kids that aren't familiar. You're not expected to watch all of it.And Precure's nostalgia sequels are done the way they should be. The regular show remains as is and you get the extra.Whereas digimon is a constantly dying corpse and when something happens, its usually adventureshit.
>>275217410Its funny how people insisted Tai to be better than Ash only because he aged. Yet Ash turned out to be better than older Tai on Tri , Kizuna & Colon. In fact Tai from Tri feels so insufferable that every version of Ash seems better than him.
>>275218099They have no faith in the IP.>>275217767Tamer is highly regarded by the American base. Not so much the japanese fanbase.
>>275230198Digimon has a very specific vibe, and you gotta hit the landing or its doomed to only be relevant to autists.
>>275229706The identity of Digimon is the Digimon themselves. As long as they keep the distinctive Digimon look and feel, the general concept is so flexible that they can do anything with it. That they choose to rehash Adventure over and over again despite its plummeting sales and ruined reputation is only a sign of creative bankruptcy and mismanagement.Precure is more limited since it has to stick to the format of a magical girl show, and even slight departures like Wonderful's "chase action" can still turn some fans off.I'm not saying Precure is bad because of that - again, I'm a fan - I'm just saying the comparison isn't one-to-one.
>>275230492The non-Adventures flopped too. Xros Wars was proto Colon with s dumber gimmick than Frontier and Appmon was kiddy slop that went full gay.
>>275229706Digimon's issues come from fumbling a gimmick hard enough to scare non-masochists, reducing it to a fujo show featuring some latinxs. Ghost Game was the most successful in recent memory, but it suffers problems similar to Savers, just trade aggressively mediocre 2000s shonen with no plot. Digimon needs to lock in aggressively, and avoid anything that would scare off potential viewers
>>275224968>Kakudou touching a plot point from a movie he quit in protestI doubt it.
