What's your opinion on Adventure02?
My opinion is that it's a childrens show.
>>283127059>posts on /a/
>>283127031It wasn't bad butShould've never have anything to do with OG adventure Also theres various things that never resolved on screen
>>283127031STANDING BY YOUR SIDEDochira ni tatsukaErabunda kimi no sono te deSTAND UP TO THE FIGHT!Futatsu no chikaraItsuno hikawari aeruToki ga kuru MADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
the one who desidned this should commit sudoku
>>283127031Most of it is a humiliation ritual for the new cast when every other episode an 01 kid shows up and champion evolves and completely overshadows the 02 cast.And the rest of it is baffling tonal whiplash
>>283127598It wasn't even OP
>>283127609The dark towers were supposed to justify thatBut it fell flat
>>283127609>>283127663I'm pulling from childhood memories here, but I remember the Digimon Emperor Arc being fun and all. When we get to the DNA digievolution is stuff is where they just introduce one billion story threads that go nowhere and it becomes this big mess. Also something about BlackWargreymon just destroying everyone every episode and being awfully repetitive, and Mummymon / Arukenimon becoming beyond annoying.Maybe I should rewatch it for the novelty.
>>283127759Isnt that the part were THAT flashback happens?
DNA evolutions were lame as fuck
wasted potential.It feels weird that you have 2 with previous experience being benchwarmers while the new crew have to lead them, they were 01 with training wheels and never been taken off through the end
>>283127031It had its flaws and was weaker than 01 or Tamers to be sure, but it was still better than everything that came after imo. Also, Blackwargreymon was fucking peak. I cried when he died(I was like 5) When Cyber Sleuth came out, I pre-ordered it, which I pretty much never do with video games, just so I could get him in game.
>>283129803>they spend a whole episode about finding out how pairing Iori and takeru makes sense
>>283127031i barely remember anyone but kairi and takeru
>>283127031Unfathomable waste of potential.Early on in the series you've got Armor evolutions as a stopgap for power because the black towers inhibit regular evolution. So everyone gets their own armor egg and armor evolutions. You'd expect>The kids would try using each other's armor eggs and get different evolutionsInstead>They only ever use their own eggs. The egg of miracles (incredibly hype moment) appears once and is gone forever. In Hurricane Touchdown Patamon and Gatomon turn Mega to summon the golden eggs back so... Veemon and Terriermon can do the job instead. Hello? Why can't I see more of the angel Megas that we never saw before???Later on in the series they fuse together as a stopgap to reach Ultimate cause they'd normally need Crest catalysts and the Adventure dolts gave theirs up (not how it works btw). You'd expect>They'd try reverse fusing (Paildramon/Dinobeemon), or fusing with each otherInstead>They only stick to one fusion path, leading to some dogshit hideous evolutions like ShakkoumonSimilarly>The Dark Ocean appears as a mystical realm related to Kari and Ken>Instead of investigating it they just leave it behind and later shove Daemon in it as if that's a way to imprison him and not power him up>Only the two leads get a Mega (again!)>MagnaAngemon has to job to BlackWarGreymon>There's no urgency when BlackWarGreymon nearly destroys the Digital World>MaloMyotismon is killed by children talking>Millenniummon (source of all conflict in Adventure) appears for a split second and never elaborated on>Kari and TK's shared bond as the returning angel vets is broken up and they partner with the other wackos instead>TK's crusade against DARKNESS goes away after they kill Chimeramon>In Return of Diaboromon Imperialdramon Paladin Mode (ugly as shit) beats Armageddamon by falling on itBlegh.
>>283130341I laughed when it happened cause he turned into a fucking Nazca line and that confused the shit out of my young brain and I could only find it funny.
>>283127031>What's your opinion on Adventure02?Uneven as fuck overall
>>283127031Too many cooks when it comes to the writing staff, after the Digimon Emperor is dealt with the show just stumbles around from one idea to next before crashing into the finaleOver board on the splotchy style for the backgroundAnd some borderline schizophrenic BGM choices>>283127598Shakkoumon at least has the advantage of not being an obvious hybrid, so it's been able to show up in other media more easily
>>283131108>Shakkoumon at least has the advantage of not being an obvious hybridThat's literally the point of jogress evolution
>>283130781>The kids would try using each other's armor eggs and get different evolutionsI wonder how many were made during preproduction of the show. Because the roster must have been filled out by at least the time they finished since so many armor evolutions were used as fodder in Tamers
>>283127031>>283127550Honestly since that new game made me remember digimon exists, I decided to rewatch 02 because the fucking Digimon Emperor and DNA evo hype made me think all these years that 02 was the best out of the first 3.And an argument could be made for the first arc but after that it falls apart terribly, why was the vampire man the asspull final boss? At least Apocalymon had a good theme going on and was powerful, Malomyotismon is just a big jobber and has a terrible design.Other than that, I still like 02, it has best girls Yolei and grown Kari, pink Mimi and the best music in the series for sure. BWG was cool as fuck until he wasn't
>>283131169Even as a kid I never understood armor evolutions. For the longest time I couldn't tell what tier their evolutions fell under until I played the games. And I always thought armor evolutions had some kind of armor theme but you still had digimon without any armor at all unless that was a shitty dub miss translation.
>>283131423At least Veemon's look like him wearing armor
>>283131180I'll add that it also struck a nice balance between setting being real world/digiworld. I'm watching tamers and at ep 23 there is still no word about the digiworld, shit is boring
Daisuke+Karin is best pairing. That is all.
How will Hikari bros ever recover?
>>283127031My opinion of Zero 2 is that I like Hikari's design.
>>283135144TK tapped that?
>>283127031a piece of shit, but Tamers is even worse
>>283134922>>283135316Pft!
>>283134922
ZAMN!
Genuinely terrible.
>>283127031I liked it.
>>283135316lmao no
Ken deserved better.
>>283128245The designs, or the concept?
>>283136103>French
>>283127031The last arc was a mess. Shakkoumon and Silphymon should have evolved. Most importantly, Hikari’s yellow spats and Miyako’s goofy red pants did things to me as a kid.
>>283127031Kino and underrated. Having an "evil DigiDestined" kid was great and refreshing. Flame Dramon is the coolest shit ever. DNA digivolution is great;Black Wargreymon? Absolutely kino. Evil Team Rocket? Nice enough
>>283131423No, they're called Armor (in English) in Japan, too. I THINK they meant 'armor' in the sense of 'equip item in an RPG', since the Digimon is functionally equipping an item to evolve.Probably whoever came up with that name didn't realize 'armor' means something specific in English.
>>283130781>Unfathomable waste of potential.Pretty much this. 02 would've been better if they just sticked to completing plotlines instead of just dropping them.>>283127598Also I'd rather have pic related than the disgrace that Shakumon is. Or at least make like a heavy armored angel/paladin instead of a teapot.
>>283127598
>>283136168Never understood why didn't she fall for Davis.
>>28312703102 Hikari was cute. Thats it.
>>283135405This is the only correct pairing.
>>283139254That's just fat Veedramon
>>283139858she was already Takeru's
>>283139858Why settle for a copy of your true love.
>>283141131>she was already Takeru's
>>283127031Never like it.
>>283140042
Kek. The Shakkoumon hate ITT is hilarious. I think most of us were confused and disappointed by that as kids since it looks nothing like Angemon or Ankylomon and we were used to Patamon evolutions being awesome in 01.
>>283143221The disappointment started with them trying to force Takeru and Iori together
>>283140042But consider the following
>>283143527breeding sow for the Kaiser
>>283143527budget price Mimi
>>283131747Total opposite for me, the Digimon being a place you can just casually isekai into made it lose all its charm.
>>283135144The responsible for this design must have been a perpetually horny fella and you cant convince me otherwise. Hell, how did she get out of the house dressed like that without her parents losing their shit everytime?
>>283144746Fuck, meant for >>283133468BTW, the Digiworld was way more fascinating in Tamers, a lot of teasing and glimpses building anticipation fora place completely devoid of human logic and yet perfectly fit for the critters living there.
>>283136103>>283134922>ojou-sama into old guysBasadissimo
>>283127031brutal, slaves, executions, splitpersonality murder, it was really brutal
>>283137500Like what?
>>283139858Really? I thought it was obvious why she didn’t. Davis was just a sex pest around her while her real man punched out the Digimon emperor.
>>283127031I don't remember much about it but as a little kid I was obsessed with Digimon Kaiser's design and copied it for my OCs. I have a soft spot for Ken nowadays. I also remember this scene making me feel funny, like the hitchhiking scene in the first series. Beautiful memories.
>>283146547based
>>283139453Oh wow, you mean it's based on a concept? I don't know bros, it's starting to grow on me...
>>283131423In the show, Armor evolutions were weaker than their natural Digivolutions and the armor evolutions barely appeared after the Digimon Emperor story. But in the games, Armor evolutions tend to be a bit stronger than normal Champions since the Digi-Eggs are harder to get. Same thing goes for the few Spirit Evolutions that appear.
>>283147675I like the spirit evolutions.
>>283139858His most pathetic moments resolved around simping for Kari.
>>283147675weren't armor evolutions because the towers didn't allow normal evolution?
>>283130522which could still be possible as iori is the youngest so takeru would have mentor him as he went through the same but we never got them actually spending time together or iori being more invested into what's his goal as a chosen child. it's as if they wrote iori ti be the new takeru but with yamato's personality
>>283148252Yeah, after Ken joins the towers aren't as much of a problem so the Digimon can access their normal evolutions again, which are treated as being stronger.
>>283148252that was the excuse because armor becomes an alternate evolution while the towers were only nullifying the natural evolution. My only beef was why 3 digimon were buried and sealed under their respective arnor but light and hooe had none?
>>283127031awful, awful cast. they're all dumb and boring and gay.
>>283127031Underrated
