Takeru and Hikari in the back biting their lips like "haha yeah we would NEVER kill a digimon and never have before..."
>>282689770How does Adventure 02 compare to 01? I only seem to hear shit about it and i'm almost done rewatching the OG and might hold off on the second for a while if it isn't very good.
>>282689835I recommend jumping to season 3, it's much better.Season 2 is ok. I'm rewatching it for the first time since I was a kid. It's not as good as season 1 and 3 but it feels very budget or meandering.Watching it after 3 will at least let you feel nostalgic to see what the season 1 kids are up to.
>>282689835>>282689914honestly hate how human centric the first seasons were. We came here for monsters, evolution and mayhem not preteen drama.
>>282690105>honestly hate how human centric the first seasons were.Then you won't like seasons 2 or 3. It's a human series (at least until season 5 and up where it became a shitty monster of the week like you wanted), the digimon reflect the kids growth. Their evolutions are tied to the kids evolutions as characters.
>>282689835The first part of 02 is fantastic, the second half was rushed and boy do you feel it
>>282689770They're also kissing
>>282690224>Episode where Daisuke and Veemon get chased around by an angry digimon because he accidentally saw it pissing.>Very next episode>Ken's flashbacks of his older brother getting hit by a car and dying, the complex emotions of a kid dealing with the trauma of death, parent's expectations, and the vices and virtues of Kindnessthis shit gives me whiplash sometimes man.
I liked Frontier
>>282689914I don't normally watch things out of broadcast order, but I might give that a shot. Do I dare ask if I should even bother with Frontier?>>282690105I got a lot out of the human stuff. When they get to the real world it has a lot more substance to it than the digital world which was fun a lot of the time but could get a little nebulous.>>282690224>>282690270Jesus Christmas
>>282690348The back half of 02, while not great, does have some fun parts like Arachnemon and Mummymon, and can deal with some surprisingly heavy stuff like everything to do with Black Wargreymon and his existential crisis on a Saturday Morning kid's show.
>>282690348>should even bother with FrontierAbsolutely, it's a return to the "trapped in another world" scenario that Adventure had, and fleshes out the Digital World in a massive way.It's a hurdle to get past the "no partners" thing, but once you do it's fine, it's a Digimon Sentai season.The Royal Knights arc deserves the flak it gets, but the lead up and follow up to it is great.
>>282690503What is Digimon for if not unanticipated ambushes of Saturday morning existentialism?>>282690558Well, I have grown to love tokusatsu a lot since I last saw Frontier when it first aired. I guess i'm putting it on the itinerary then. Can't say I'll watch beyond that though.
>>282690270It's incredible that 02 does that twice in the space of 11 episodes (12-14 & 21-23). That said, episode 13 is overrated as fuck.
>>282689835I never liked the lack of angemon-angewomon screen time. First half they had to rely on armored evolutions because of the black towerS, when towers where destroyed and we jumped to the next arc were when the dna evolution appeared. Also sylphimon is a woman
Fuck Sora
>>282689835I remember thinking the arc involving an evil/brainwashed Greymon was neat
>>282689835Pretty much this for me >>282692362 the whole fusion aspect, really took me out from most of it. Then there were arcs that dealt with Takeru and Hikari, that were introduced, but never explored ever again.>>282690236Based>>282689770I really did hate all the new people, except for ken that were introduced in the season.
