Gumdramon wants to be Shoutmon so badly, he has to ripoff Xrosses from him. Confirmed for Faildramon 2.0.

>>7129864
The thing I'm most worried about regarding Gumdramon is whether the writers try to make him upstage Shoutmon by making him stronger than the Digimon King at some stage.

Something like that is seriously going to piss some people off, to the point that I'd personally consider this season worse than 02 if it happened, because it basically retcons the entirety of Xros Wars.

Luckily nothing of the sort hasn't happened yet.

>>7129869

Why is that a problem?

>>7129898
...are you seriously asking why a new Digimon becoming more powerful then the Digimon King is a problem?

>>7129898
Because if anyone could become as strong as the Digimon King that easily, what's the point of Shoutmon having the title?

Also if Gumdramon somehow gets stronger than Shoutmon in a conflict that is far less serious, it's bull.

Wait, if Nene's stalker is his father... then how long has he been stalking her daughter instead of working?

>>7129924
I don't think Gumdramon will be the future king, he only want be famous, like Tagiru, maybe he will be a hero from the digital world or something else, but put him in the same throne of Shoutmon is really a bad idea.

Gumdramon wants to be a superstar of the Digital World. I can see the ending going, "Gumdramon alongside the Digimon King Shoutmon saved both worlds," or something like that. YMMV but it can establish that Gumdramon does become a superstar but also doesn't surpass Shoutmon.

Now, I wonder what they will do with Shoutmon and Taiki's presence in this show. Both of them are more powerful than all of the new characters tenfold (Clock Man is still up in the air). I think writing him out of the story when it comes time for the serious shit to happen. The plot in Digimon doesn't come in until 9-13 eps in. The OHSHITWHATISTHIS moments usually come in the midseason. Something will happen to Taiki and/or Shoutmon midseason (and something will have to in order for the new characters to not be overshadowed or for us to wonder why Shoutmon is having a hard time beating a Ganemon).

>>7129921

King is a title like God. Shoutmon is king due to the help of everyone else.

>>7130039
The goal of shoutmon was always be the King, in comparison of Gumdramon, that he has another mentality.
If Gumdramon will reach become the King that means a betrayal of all the first seasons of Xros Wars and all the effort that Shoutmon did to become King.

>>7130095
This. I see Tagiru wanting to surpass Taiki as pretty much a 'little brother wants to beat big brother' type of thing. Gumdramon mainly wants to surpass Shoutmon because of wanting to be a big star. And what way to become a big star than to surpass King Shoutmon. However, I can easily see a plot where Gumdramon learns to be more caring towards others. If he wants to surpass Shoutmon (tnot that it will happen hopefully), he should at least try to be more compassionate like whom he idolizes. I don't think I've seen Gumdramon in a situation where he'd go out his way to protect someone besides Tagiru.

>>7130095

Gumdramon doesn't have to become king to surpass Shoutmon. Gumdramon obviously isn't the leader type but I can easily see him becoming stronger than Shoutmon.

>Show friends Xros Wars

>>7130223


>Taiki Mary sue
>Nastalgia fagging over Tamers


WHY

What if part of Tagiru/Gumdramon's development they realize how pointless it is for their only purpose being to surpass somebody else? I really hope they do find their own niche. I think being famous is fine but trying to surpass somebody like Shoutmon is just unrealistic. Even for this kind of program.

>>7130260

It only seems unrealistic because that is how you want it to be. You are fanboying Shoutmon.

>>7130169
Problem is, Shoutmon was powerful as fuck by the end of Death Generals. Add to the fact that 1 year in the real world= 100-somethin Digital World years (math is off) and Shoutmon really has no reason to be surpassed in anyway. Though at the end of the show, I could easily see him goin, "You're surpassed me in one thing: heart." Some bullshit like that, but that's less offensive.

>>7130273
I know, but he was cool as fuck. It can't be helped.

Terriermon used to be my favorite partner but now Shoutmon is.

>>7130273
There IS no fanboying. Shoutmon has went through hell and back to become the Digimon King, not to mention the hundreds of years of training and natural strength growing. Not to mention, the audience has emotionally invested in Shoutmon's journey. For that to be given to some attention-whoring chump, well, that's just 02-tier writing.

>>7130281

If Gumdramon isn't allowed to surpass or equal Shoutmon this show will be extremely flawed. Shoutmon was cool but he isn't the main Digimon anymore.If Gumdramon isn't allowed to be on the same level as Shoutmon then all the villains will be weaker than Shoutmon, right? Then why shouldn't Shoutmon take care of everything? We have already found a bypass to the Digimon limit so why doesn't Shoutmon just evolve to his highest forms and take care of everything? That is why Gumdramon needs to be his equal or surpass him. So that he isn't shown up all the time.

>>7130288

So why can't Gumdramon go through hell and back to become strong? Why can't he grow and train to be strong?

Why are we not discussing the amazing fight scene in this episode?

>>7130309

because im busy jacking off to Mervamon

>>7130301
He can. But xros wars' record with these kinds of things is not that good and while I would want for Gumdramon to be acknowledged as Shoutmon's equal at the end, Gumdramon wants to SUPASS him. Get it? SURPASS. He's not gonna take just being equal. And the fact that he said it himself that he wants to surpass the King takes a lotta balls.

I would fucking wreck a female Time Hunters Shoutmon and I am ashamed of myself.

>>7130554
As long as it's not gijinka.

Somebody here knows how digimon are given birth in Xros Wars? There's a noticeable lack of digieggs, so at best I can only assume that they reproduce the mammal way via birth, or maybe the parents combine part of their data to materialize a baby.

The thing is, in 02, Daisuke just stopped developing and everything came naturally to him after a point.

So far, this has not happened with Tagiru and Gumdramon. For one, their partnership isn't as one note as V-mon and Daisuke's was. They struggle in their relationship with one another. They don't get along. And sometimes their pride fails them and they don't get the job done.

Having a goal, and wanting to surpass someone aren't bad goals. If people never wanted to surpass what their predecessors were capable of, we'd never have any progress or struggles to grab new heights. The trick is that you work for it.

And judging by their progress so far, I'm confident that they will. They'll screw up a lot first, but that's still a one up on Daisuke.

>>7130237
>filename
oh god I laughed

>>7130301
>So why can't Gumdramon go through hell and back to become strong? Why can't he grow and train to be strong?
There's nothing wrong with that, and if he became Shoutmon's equal then I would also have nothing wrong with that. My main problem is that Gumdramon will become stronger than Shoutmon through some ridiculously stupid 02-level writing that causes a million plotholes and feels really unsatisfactory.

>>7130885
>My main problem is that Gumdramon will become stronger than Shoutmon through some ridiculously stupid 02-level writing that causes a million plotholes and feels really unsatisfactory.

You can see the future now?

>>7130890
I worded that wrong. It should have said:
>My main problem is that Gumdramon could become stronger than Shoutmon through some ridiculously stupid 02-level writing that causes a million plotholes and feels really unsatisfactory.

I have nothing against the character, but it's just how the character is used that would be annoying if it's not done right.

>>7130883
>Daisuke just stopped developing and everything came naturally to him after a point.
You reminded me of that episode where, to fill some time, there was a bunch of shipping nonsense at the start which included V-Mon and Tailmon ballroom dancing.

Jesus Christ why did they do that.

>focusing on the snakearm
I am disappoint

I hope we see these two as well as Ren and Dracumon again.

It's been a bit of a long time since we've seen either of them (episode 7 was their last appearance)

Guilmon could beat Shoutmon.

>>7131292

>>7131292
Shoutmon doesn't discriminate his opponents, whether they are normal or retarded.

http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/gogofes/archive/?b=1204-digimon

Putting this through google translator, there's something about the chance to win a signed Time Hunters poster?

>>7131292

But Guilmon has a fixed power level. Ten years later he will still have the same skill and power while Shoutmon only gets stronger from battles and age.

>>7131670

Actually, yeah, I was going to.

>>7132305
Because, there's only one season where the Plot hasn't started by episode 13.

and that's fucking 02.

>>7132310
>Because, there's only one season where the Plot hasn't started by episode 13.
Tamers' plot didn't start until episode 14.

>>7132332
Tamers had no plot.

>>7132310
02 had plot from the beginning. We had a villain and knew of his plans to take over the Digital World.

>>7132353

>>7132310
02 is actually way better than Tamers in terms of getting its plot going at the start. We have a clear villain from the first ninety seconds of the show, a sense of what he can do and what he's after. At every point in 02 the protagonists have some goal in mind, even if they're really bad at it almost all the time.

Tamers, meanwhile, has no plot to speak of for about three-quarters of the show. The first quarter's spent fighting random Wild Ones, the second quarter's spent fighting the Devas without any idea of who or what they are or what they're after until it's too late. Then the team goes to the Digital World to bring back Calumon in the second half, completely forgets what they're doing, and fucks around for several more episodes until Beelzemon shows up, at which point the protagonists FINALLY get some clear direction about where they want to go and what they need to do, with about ten episodes left by that point.

Tamers is good at characters and all that, but don't try to pretend its plot isn't easily the slowest of any season ever.

>>7132389
>Tamers
>slow at getting to plot
>02 had them fighting the Kaiser for over 20 episodes

what is life anymore

>>7132389
>Tamers is good at characters and all that, but don't try to pretend its plot isn't easily the slowest of any season ever.

You seem to be intentionally disregarding that much of Tamer's plot was centered around the mystery of why things were escalating as they were. Holding off on a "central villain" until the Deva arc was necessary.

I know pointing out it's flaws is in now, but to say it didn't take care of it's plot points around the same time as the other series is wrong.

...In hindsight, it's probably better to drop this discussion after this post.

>>7132712
>it's probably better to drop this discussion after this post.
Yes.
While discussion of other series is allowed, let's try and not destroy the thread with things like this like that previous one that got ruined.

That was horrible.

Damn.
While I was searching for Lilithmon references I stumbled upon this.
Don't suppose anyone knows if there are any more of these things floating around with other characters?

>>7132729
I got a couple.

And this could be pretty useful actually.

>>7132754


>>7132757
No problem. I got this folder from /rs/ I think. Try searching for XW lineart

>>7132729

For Xros Wars (all seasons) sadly, I do not. However, for previous seasons (mainly Savers, Frontier, Tamers and a very few from Zero Two) I have what is called 'settai' or basically production sheets that are used on the actual show.

Most settai that you find scanned online are photocopies of the originals used on the show (normally for around 25-50+). If I can double check my links later, I should have some up and online to view, so I'll see what I can track down and share with you all.

>>7132754

>lineart of the jump animation
oh my lord

>>7132804

Not a problem. I scanned in the majority of what I had, though there are still sheets I didn't get to as my scanner refused to work.

>>7132808

Since these are the sheets that the animators use to keep style, color and whatnot in line, they also have the episode number/s on them for reference (especially if the form debuts in that episode)

It used to be, back when Frontier and Savers were airing especially that if you found these sheets online/elsewhere, that you'd have a pretty good idea what was going to appear within the next few episodes. Doesn't seem to happen much anymore sadly.

>So where are we at in this thread?
waiting for the new subbed episode to download

How does someone fall up a building?

>>7136581
It's a Yonemura episode; what did you expect? Logic?

I laughed at Taiki finding the "Nene has become a Hong Kong idol" situation as odd as we found it when we first heard about it. Tagiru is certainly unlike Kiriha when it comes to Nene; he's DEFINITELY not in denial!

What the fuck happened to your face, Damemon?

Also did anyone else get the feeling that Nene wearing what was essentially a red version of Ren's hat to dress up as a boy might have been foreshadowing?

and following on from >>7136616:

What a nice episode. As "outlandish" as Nene's new career may have seemed, it was actually pretty sensibly worked out, and the flashback gave a good background on the situation. That Harpymon vs. Xros Up Arresterdramon fight was awesome, especially the final attack that kinda reminded me of Sonic.
The Amanos' dad seems like a nice guy, and I also liked how the flashback used Nene's first XW outfit; something that 02 never did with the original Adventure characters (from what I can remember anyway).

The fact that the next episode has Gumdramon unable to super-evolve should mean that there'll be more of a team dynamic when it comes to defeating FlaWizarmon, which is something that we really haven't seen that much in the series.

>>7136647
Taking those ecstasy pills was no good, no good!

I just finished watching the episode.
When Nene's dad was happy seeing her being cheered on I was like "Don't you worry that your daughter might be come a whore?"

>>7136667
I eagerly await a digixros between Tsuwamon, Omegashoutmon and/or Arreterdramon because obligatory

>>7136676
>"Don't you worry that your daughter might be come a whore?"
Nene's the pimp.
Everybody else will become the whores.

Nene's sure developed a lot after this episode.

Dat Nene.

>>7136691
in more ways than one amirite
I agree with you though, as we never really got any real Amano family backstory in XW; I think the closest we got was when Yuu mentioned to Damemon that his grandmother had died. It's like Time Hunters is filling in the bits that XW's human development forgot to cover, and that's what a real Digimon sequel should be: something that continues on from the previous series without messing up said series' continuity.

>>7136697
what a slut

here's another more worksafe piece of Nene art from pixiv

>>7136704
Exactly. Episodes like this one can enhance a viewer's enjoyment of a series in hindsight by explaining things about a character the show never got around too. After knowing she aspired to be an idol, it makes sense why she was the groups cosplayer, and her acting skills are explained. This is what really separates Hunters from 02 too me; besides the more respectable treatment of old characters, it seems that I can enjoy watching Xros Wars more after watching Hunters and the same was definitely not the case with 02 and Adventure.

>>7136710
With all of that in mind: what the hell's going to happen to Kiriha then? His development is meant to be finished, so there's very little chance we'll get an episode with him in that has more explanation on his background.

I seriously fucking hope that they did at least try to adapt Kiriha to this new series, because if they've just got rid of him then that's ridiculous.

I really regret marathoning Xros Wars in a day, I don't remember much about it, so I don't think I appriciate episodes like this as much as I could. Oh well, Nene is pretty cool. It was nice to see her and Yuu's father.

I always get really nostalgic watching this series. They seem to pick Digimon I would have loved to seen in the anime when I was a kid. Plus any Digimon captured has the potential to have Xrossed Up form with a main character Digimon later on!

>>7136737
>I really regret marathoning Xros Wars in a day
...how the fuck did you manage to marathon 54 episodes in 24 hours?

>>7136734
I don't know why people are freaking out over the lack of Xros Wars 1 characters. We saw Akira, Zenjirou, and Nene. We're 10 episodes in. Have some patience. Calm the fuck down. Watch Digimon gattai and beat the shit out of one another.

>>7136742
Maybe it was a weekend. I don't really leave my house, and I have a bad memory.

>>7136747
I think you misunderstood what I meant.

While I do want to see Kiriha back, I don't know what they'll do with him in regards to any future development because apparently it's all done and dusted with him, and I'm just a bit annoyed at that.

>>7136777
I dunno how they will handle Kiriha, or if they will handle him they way they did Akari and Nene. Will he take over his father's company like another orphan with a reptilian partner from another series?

>>7136777
I think I did misunderstand you. I'm not sure where they could take him, but I'm sure we'll see some follow up. I'm not a writer but maybe something like, 'Big bad is doing something bad, so the Trio seek Kiraha's advice, him and Taiki reminiscence and this helps Tagiru realize something about himself and develop character.'

>>7135039

>>7136787
That would be logical, given Taiki tends to wanna do things on his own. Then again, him working with Ryouma kinda disproved that.

Dem chinese food chemicals man

How many years passed exactly?

>>7136786
>Will he take over his father's company
There was a small talk about this a while back actually.

We agreed that while Kiriha would be the big CEO in name, it would actually be his personal assistant Nene "pulling the strings" on the Aonuma business empire, so to speak, because she's just like that: subtlely always in control.

Female puberty usually goes much faster than male puberty though.

I really hope this series is going somewhere...
I couldn't help to remember 02 with this episode.

What was the point of this episode?
Did we learn anything new about the characters (beside nenes relaionship with his dad, which is probably futile)?
I really doubt we'll see nene again in a near future, I'm betting next time will be around episode 70-80 or even 90 and she won't be that important. Her cameo in a previous episode was enough for me, "oh it's that your sister? oh is she an idol now? oh cool story, bro". Next episode doesn't look mindblowing, and after that one we have another food episode. I'm trying to accept this as what it is, but I feel like this is slowly getting to a point of no return. Well, it still have time.

I usually don't like that much first episodes, I barely could watch tamers first couple of episodes, but then after a while, I was loving it.

This is why I always I watched the first 20 episodes in like a week or something-

>>7136979
>This is why I always I watched the first 20 episodes in like a week or something-
You know I REALLY want to do this and take a break for a while and then watch, like, a whole chunk at once but I don't have the willpower.

I also agree with you about the opening of Tamers. It was quite slow. I was always wondering "What is Hypnos even there for?" It was kinda like KR Blade and G Gundam for me because that also took quite a while to get going at the beginning, but then it became one of my favorite Riders/Gundams.

Gaogaigar takes about 25 or 30 episodes before the real story kicks in. I don't see a problem if the non-critical episodes are entertaining.

>>7136990
Ehh I'm pretty much going to skip this upcoming episode and the week after. The Christmas week episode is the one that will likely have the start of a plot because they haven't given a summary while we got a summary for the ramen episode the week of the Nene episode.

I have a stupid question. Can Digimon breath in space?

>>7137196

Some can and some can't.
Also, depends what digimon universe are you talking about; tamers? adventure? xros wars?

>>7137196
>>7137565
Digimon in the Xros Wars universe can breathe in space, but they can be asphyxiated by a buildup of plot so they typically avoid that as much as they can.

wat

>>7137879
An adorable jab at the current season flatly refusing to provide us with a story arc of any kind.

My problem with the series so far is the way it has a reverse GSD thing going on. Instead of having the old characters come back in and shit all over the new characters, this one just has the old characters just kind of stand around doing nothing while Tagiru hogs all the glory. Sparrowmon and Mervamon didn't get nearly enough lines/screen time in this episode, and where the hell are the Monitormons?

>>7138160
>and where the hell are the Monitormons?
In Shinobi Zone I suppose.

>>7131682
That may be so, but can't Guilmon potentially Digivolve into Megidramon, which can destroy the Digital World by JUST EXISTING?

You'd have to be pretty fucking powerful if you're capable of breaking worlds by doing virtually nothing.

Then again, a lot of Ultimate/Mega level Digimon are supposed to be "Can destroy the Digital World if they wanted" powerful.

>>7138313
It actually raise the question of weither or not Megidramon's a digimon incarnation of Burning Godzilla (with the whole meltdown theme and whatnot). Also, In it's profile Megidramon is powerful enough to be part of the 4 great dragons of the digital world, but too emotionally unstable to be listed as a Virus Buster like the rest of them. It's pretty much Takato's Rage channeled into Guilmon, resulting in a Great dragon of pure Rage.

>>7137196
Define Space. In Xros wars, they're unable to exist in between zones/lands without having their data brake up.

>>7138347

Space, like going up in the sky I'd suppose.
The reason they couldn't exist between zones was probably because that was a data transferation and they couldn't just stand there or, something like that.

Proof that some digimon can indeed live on space

I have a question, remember in tamers when Lee realized he wasn't going to die if he breath underwater? was this in all the digiworld or just in a special place they were in?

I don't know shit about japanese culture.
Is it "normal" to japanese artists to be big on china?

Also, is an idol something like a pop artist? Nene is some sort of japanese justin bieber?

They survive in space in Adventure during the final battle and when Izzy was in that space made by Vadermon. In Frontier they are in space a few times without a problem.

>>7138393
Idol is a pop artist, yes. Ever heard of "Pop Idol" it was a show big in America and the UK a few years back. They're basically just manufactured pop artists.

In Japan, they have a huge Idol culture where people are very hardcore fans of pop artist, much like the kind of crazy worship you see for Justin Bieber, except that kind of stuff is normal for the majority of pop artists in Japan.

>>7138415
>In Japan, they have a huge Idol culture where people are very hardcore fans of pop artist, much like the kind of crazy worship you see for Justin Bieber, except that kind of stuff is normal for the majority of pop artists in Japan.
So I'm assuming that it also applies to most of the Far East countries near to Japan as well (South Korea, China, Hong Kong)?

I really would have liked if the story of gumdramon was the same of his profile, a digimon exiled for unknown reasons (maybe because he did something bad in the past or his power was out of control) with a great power hidden and sealed by the ring that holds in his tail.
So, if he ever gets to surpass Shoutmon, I would not feel so bad after all.

>>7138459
That sounds much better and would give a legit reason for him to be able to surpass Shoutmon.

>>7138459
You know what would be funny? If gumdramon was exiled because he was the guy who broke the digital world in season 1.

>>7138497
>If gumdramon was exiled because he was the guy who broke the digital world in season 1.
Hasn't the most widely accepted reason for that been because of D5?

>>7138509
I though Humans have something to do with the digital world being split into zones.

>>7137905
Don't pretend the first Xros Wars was much better than this.

>>7130223
>Tamers=Nostalgiafag
That makes me moist.

>>7138459

Ehh .. the profile says that Arrestredramon IS gumdramon after removing the ring limiting his power. So technically, he achieves through super evolution what he could've achieved on his profile story by removing his ring.

>>7138525
I thought it was referring to the birth of the DigiQuartz, not the splitting of the Digital World into Zones.

>>7138527
>Don't pretend the first Xros Wars was much better than this.
I have to disagree with you on that point; while Xros Wars's early episodes didn't have that much of a tie to an overall plot (it only really got going with the Sand Zone arc in my opinion) it at least had small plots with Xros Heart travelling through the Zones to find the hidden Code Crowns.

I know that Toei probably wouldn't want to repeat themselves, but Time Hunters hasn't really shown anything like the mini-arc sort of cohesion; the episodes don't really link into each other as cleanly as Xros Wars's did. This is also probably the reason why there are no recaps at the start of each episode; there doesn't seem to be any connection between the episodes.

>>7138629
The characters are doing things which will make them more powerful in the long run. I don't know what you're complaining about

>>7138633
I think I might have gone off the point a bit.

What I originally argued against was that "Xros Wars was no better than Time Hunters at getting to the main plot". I just think that the opening episodes of XW had a lot more of a connection altogether than with the opening episodes of this series.

>>7138640
>Xros Wars
>Go to place X
>Get X ally and Code Crown piece

>Time Hunters
>Go to Digiquartz version of place X
>Get X ally and tagiru being retarded

>>7138641
...shit.

Well there goes my argument.

>>7138641

Xros Wars had a reason for collecting Code Crowns that had to do with the main plot, though. I don't think anyone's saying it's a deep, intricate plot or anything but the episodes flowed together.

Time Hunters has, so far, just been a series of events with little to no effect on each other.

>>7138656
>my reaction when this was exactly what I was trying to say but couldn't think of how to word it

It feels like Episode 9 was meant to come later, especially with its hinting of an actual plot.

>>7138656
The digiquartz existing at all is the same as the code crown being split. The goal will be to fix the digiquartz.

Found your story

>>7138678
Nope
The Code Crowns were an active attempt at reaching the goal.

Digi Quartz is just there so the kids can just collect Digimon and not do anything about it, while keeping Digimon from causing real world problems.

Xros Wars was about saving the world.
Time Hunters is about fucking pest control.
Just like 02 was for the most part, when they simply just went home instead of actively trying to fix everything.

>>7138678

If they want to make that the plot then maybe they should treat it like that. I didn't even THINK of the digiquartz because all it's been so far is a place where the fighting happens.

write!anon here.

Just letting everyone know that I'm thinking on something along the lines of "How Tactimon Stole Christmas." I just need to figure out what.

I want it to be "Hunters" related. I know that much.

>>7138683
For now, Time Hunters reminds me of Tamers. "fix the situation and find the digimon in question, beat it up" and so on. Only difference is that in Tamers, we had Yamaki and Hypnos trying to eradicate digimon as a goal, we have no opposing force aside from the rival Hunters who interfere at any given time (kinda only applies to Ryouma). If anything, we'll get something by Ep 13, so we really shouldn't be worrying now.

If we go past 14+ and no plot, then it's time to worry.

>>7138683
Code crown was the excuse for being in the digital world and the reason to keep moving between areas.
Digiquartz is the excuse for being in the real world and a reason to fight digimon. Just wait. Gaogaigar didn't go to Jupiter on the 10th episode
>>7138685
Or you could enjoy it and wait for the plot to unfold. The old man isn't giving out Xrosloaders for no reason

>>7138692
The difference is that Time Hunters doesn't even seem to be setting up for future arcs as Tamers.
It's simply introducing a bunch of characters, instead of focusing on the main ones and starting the beginning of their development.

>>7138705

I've seen lots of threads in the past ten episodes that seem like they could be set up for future character arcs.

>>7138705
Hi, have you watched me?

>>7138700
>Or you could enjoy it and wait for the plot to unfold

This wasn't a discussion about the quality of the show, just about which got into the plot more quickly. Truth be told I don't really care all that much about plot. Sure, an interesting plot is good, but I could watch a show about nothing so long as I like the characters.

And that's probably my problem with Time Hunters: It teased me by being a sequel with some of the old characters. I started giving up on it when Damemon came back and then went straight to hanging out in the background.

That said I normally keep my complaints to my self and lurk around for when Xros Wars discussion comes up.

>>7138690

It's been a while, writeranon! Good to see you thinking of doing some new stuff.

>>7138712
GaoGaiGar had an actual plot that, even if repetitive, could have worked even if they didn't change anything in the later half.

Time Hunters problem is that it lacks any Villains, and isn't setting itself up in the manner Tamers did where everything was a mystery so you didn't need Villains.

>>7138714

I've actually been around this whole time, but thank you.

>>7138719

also, I'm tempted to do some sort of Christmas Carol parody with Kiriha, but that'd be too much of an undertaking.

>>7138719

Well, long time since I've noticed it was you then, ahaha.

>>7138722

That'd be golden. Don't push yourself if it's too much though.

>>7138718
>Time Hunters problem is that it lacks any Villains, and isn't setting itself up in the manner Tamers did where everything was a mystery so you didn't need Villains.

That's probably the biggest and most obvious problem.
We know that there WILL be villains in this series, but because of the SPOILERIFIC™ nature of Digimon OPs, there is no hinting as to who it will be, because Ryouma, Ren, Airu, Hideaki AND the clockmaker are going to join up with Tagiru, Taiki and Yuu at some point.

>>7138729

The last thing I did was write fan made digimon profiles on request.

And I dunnow what to do, really. Maybe the Night Before Christmas, but I dunnow how to make that christmas related.

Beyond, idk, the clock store owner coming down the chimney or something.

>>7138718
It will get villains. You don't need an antagonist waving his dick immediately to have a good show

You know, for how much anime gets criticized for being drawn out and overly serial, you'd think people would welcome the idea of a few 30 minute, stand alone digimon episodes.

But then, I said the same thing when people said Savers' episodes were all filler, and then look what happened.

Spoiler? None of them were actually filler.

>>7138737

Oh, was that you, then? I actually missed most of those.

>And I dunnow what to do, really. Maybe the Night Before Christmas, but I dunnow how to make that christmas related.

Hmm. I was never big into Christmas. Something with, uh... reindeer?

>>7138749

Blargh. I mean, I don't know how to make that Xros Wars related.

I suck.

Does anyone think they'll release a full version of either of Nene's songs? No? Okay ;-;

>>7138754

Hahaha, it happens to everyone, no worries.

Also, I know you said you wanted it to be Time Hunters, but I was just thinking. Weren't Snow Miser and Heat Miser brothers or something?
...Wait, no, I might use that.

As for Time Hunters.... I guess Gumdramon could be a Rudolph type character? That doesn't help at all does it.

>>7138757

Yannow, they really missed an opportunity to do a voice actress joke and base one of Nene's outfits off of Cure Sunshine.

>>7136856
I really don't find that most Digimon series plot starts till around about this point. So I don't get why everyone is complaining.

The point of this episode was to please Nene fanboys like myself.

>>7138769
>So I don't get why everyone is complaining.

I've seen more people complaining about the complaining than people showing up just to complain at this point.
And the complaining about the complaining leads people to complain about the complaining about the complaining.

Everything is broken

>>7138757
Considering the amount of music, I really think they could

You know, we really just need to figure out what the fuck these things are

>>7138743
>But then, I said the same thing when people said Savers' episodes were all filler
Yeah, I remember people thought that wasn't going anywhere for a while too. And that turned out fine

>>7138771
The story of this thread.

>>7138782

Well, that's true, but I mean more how those first dozen or so episodes turned out to be more relevant to the storyarc than originally believed.

>>7138771
>I've seen more people complaining about the complaining than people showing up just to complain at this point. And the complaining about the complaining leads people to complain about the complaining about the complaining.

welcome to every /m/ thread ever

>>7138788
Watch when it's at something like episode 25, they start referring to these episodes and everyone will be like "Why did we get so annoyed by the first 10 episodes again?"

Guys just wondering, what are we going to do when te series end? I'll miss this thread, as is the only place I can talk about digimon

>>7138834

lol fag

>The point of this episode was to please Nene fanboys like myself.

Isn't that every straight male who watches this show?

>>7138834
We'll watch the next one.
There is a next one... right?

>>7138871
NOPE.AVI
Sales aren't strong enough.

>>7138871
How would we know that now? Wait until like the 40s or so

>>7138876

Especially after people constantly kept saying this about the first one so I don't believe any of that shit anymore

Clearly DarknessBagramon has no idea of style.

I just realised that we're probably a fifth of the way through the series. So, in light of that, let's have your opinions on the first 10 episodes Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leap Through Time.

How do you think the series has been handled so far? Who's your favourite new character? Who's your favourite new Digimon? Which episode(s) has been your favourite, and which were your least favourite(s)? What would you have changed about these opening episodes apart from LOLNOPLOT?

>>7139918

At least he didn't get the pink one again like last year.
He got so mad he ran away from home.

>watching mom on the teevee

>>7139936
I've been enjoying it so far, as for favorite episodes:
>First episode
>Seven: Airu episode/Damemon's return
>Nine: SuperStarmon
>Ten: Current episode

Least favorite would have to be the Kendo episode. Felt kind of meh. As for the series is being handled, read >>7138692
though it could be better, like have Airu be a secret Nene fan, or something happening relating to how uncontrollable GigaBreakdramon was stated to be.

Favorite character would have to be Airu or Tagiru. One's a girly character done well, though being in a shounen anime doesn't bode well for her, and the other is a dorky guy who ships his mentor with his childhood friend and not how I expected him to be aside from the hotbloodedness.

Favorite new Digimon would have to be Gumdramon, but I really hope he gets his own personality. The two peas in a pod comments make me feel like he's gonna end up as Tagiru 2.0 along the line.

>>7139936

But we've already been doing that

Gumdramon is based on the Monkey King from Journey to the West.
Dragonball and Dragonball Z had Goku, based on the Monkey King from Journey to the West.

Both have long strings of stand alone episodes. It all makes sense now you guys. It makes all the senses in the words.

>>7139959
The Airu episode was #5; #7 was the Pagumon episode
