Digimon Beatbreak

Why won't toei simuldub?

Likely due to the episode quantity, since Digimon usually goes on for more episodes.
They are reporting on doing a dub of Ghost Games, so we might have to wait until after that comes out.

So while we still don't have a Digimon series in which the whole world knows about them, in this series the government knows about them, so that is a start.

Though is just me or do the villains look like Pokemon villains, at the very least the leader looks like Gideon.

Why won't toei simuldub?

Considering how long it typically takes them to dub a series, I don't think that they'd want to put the time, money and effort into a simuldub, especially when they didn't do that for the Digimon Adventure reboot.

Anyway, I've seen the first three episodes and they were pretty good. The first episode does some interesting setup with the world. I know that its set in the future, but it's a lot more technologically advanced than I thought it would be with everyone having these e-pluse from birth apparently and a Sapotama device too. It does make it so that practically anyone can get their own Digimon since these are basically the stand-in for Digivices. I kind of like Tomoro's design. Giving him glasses instead of goggles helps to make him distinct from other leads and being a drummer is pretty cool too.

Digimon being created from Sapotama devices is pretty cool. It gives off a bit of a Tamers vibe with Tomoro effectively creating his own Digimon. I wasn't sure about Gekkomon's design at first, but it has grown on me a bit. He certainly has personality. The chase scene with the wild Digimon was pretty intense and of course, the older brother was taken out before he could tell his younger brother the truth. A character says that they'll explain everything later is a big red flag. Gekkomon wanting to eat Tomoro's e-pluse, but still protecting him was still nice. I was surprised that it didn't lead to Gekkomon evolving into his Champion form.

The second episode was pretty good too. While the other cast member were able to help save Tomoro, they didn't leave the best first impression on me, although I think more so for Reina than anyone else. Tomoro just went through a huge stressful experience, thought that his brother was dead and everyone was just not bothering to explain anything to him. Instead, they just treated everything was normal, had breakfast and didn't do anything to really help him. That made me so angry. That is a terrible way to handle someone grieving. To be fair, these are from what I can tell teenagers, so I wasn't expecting them to be completely gentle with Tomoro or know what exactly to say, especially when we don't know their backstories yet. Maybe their thought process was to feed Tomoro first instead of dealing with everything else, but it just left a bad first impression for me.

There was some interesting setup with the goverment basically taking Digimon for anyone who doesn't want them. It does make me wonder what they do with both the Digimon and the people who gave them up, especially when somehow Digimon aren't more well known despite these attacks going on for such awhile. I kind of figured that Tomoro's brother was still alive. There are permanent deaths in this franchise, but not a lot of human ones and certainly not in the first episode. Since he knew about the Glowing Dawn group and more about Tomoro's e-pluse, this was just a way to put him on the sidelines until Tomoro is able to save him near the end of the series or whenever it's more dramatically convienent. But he is still effectively gone for now and with their parents not being present, he was the only family for Tomoro.

Kyo bringing up being a Cleaner to get more information and chances to save Asuka without mentioning some key details also kind of bothered me. I understand why that didn't happen. They wanted a bit of action to show why Tomoro can't just go on his own, but considering that he let Tomoro run off on his own, it still bothered me. At least they did save him from other Cleaner. The fact that anyone with a Digimon that isn't with a Cleaner becomes a criminal does give off a bit of a Savers vibe too. Characters could only keep their Digimon after joining their organization in that series too. I did really like Kyo encouraging Tomoro to eat for now so that he could keep living. That really clicked with me and give him a better impression than the hosptial scene did for me.

The third episode was pretty good too. Given that Tomoro was thrown into this role and world all of a sudden and is still grieving over his brother, I couldn't really blame him for not trusting Gekkomon. He's probably still processing things when it's probably been just a couple of days in-universe. Getting intel on another bounty, but then dimissing it because it wasn't high enough doesn't make Reina look that good. I know that they needed money for more food after Gekkomon ate a lot of their supplies, but considering that Tomoro wanted to save that girl from the first episode, not telling him the truth and choosing to focus more on the money was a poor choice. Reina does change her mind when the bounty goes up, but they also emphasize that she was just looking for an excuse to go help him. My tolernance for tsundare nonsense must be getting low. Either that or it's not a good first impression of the female lead.

The Mirror World is interesting. They've shown it before, but without a name. It does make me wonder if this is the stand-in for the Digital World since Digimon are created differently in this universe or the different name means that we'll eventually get a proper Digital World later on in the series. Fangmon had a really cool design and considering how strong it was before, I was kind of surprised that it wasn't already a Champion level Digimon. Transforming into Gekkomon because its someone dear to Tomoro felt like a bit of a stretch. It isn't like I couldn't buy into their bond. Gekkomon did save Tomoro in the first episode, he has been following him all this time and given that he doesn't have any family to connect with, I can believe that he does feel some connection with Gekkomon, even if he doesn't fully recognzie it yet. It just might be a bit too early to say that Gekkomon is someone dear to him.

Their plan to trick Fangmon was pretty smart. I was still expecting an evolution for Gekkomon, but they're probably saving that for when their bond is more fleshed out or in a more dramatic moment. For a moment, I thought that they were going for a Dark Evolution, which would be an interesting choice to show that before a proper evolution. After everything Tomoro went through, saw what happens to those whose e-pluses are drainned, I could understand why he'd want to delete this dangerous Digimon, but making the Glowing Dawn the only Cleaners that don't do that does make sense. I'm sure that there will be more of an explaination as to why down the road, but comparing them to glitches does fit with Tomoro's flashbacks earlier in the episode. The girl was saved and showed that people can be cured of the Cold Heart condition. Tomoro finally calling Gekkomon by his name instead of lizard was a cute way of showing that they are starting to become friends and that Tomoro is starting to trust him too.

Interesting here, our main hero character here, he has the personality of a rival character. I can't see Taichi, Takato, Taiki, even Masaru acting like this guy wanting to kill Digimon. But I could see Yammato, Kiriha, and of course Ken have that attitude.

Though in Tomoro I don't think his motivation was simply vengeance, it was more logically base on stopping this Digimon from hurting people again.

I thought that this week's episode was okay. Tomoro's desire to focus on just leads for his brother with their jobs, while understandable, was rather impractical. Reina hasn't given off the best impressions to me thus far and her first attempt at being the stand-in leader didn't help. Tomoro definitely was partly at fault since he wasn't really being much of a team player, but I don't think that they explained enough to him either, which has been the case for the past few episodes. Still, she jumped in to save Tomoro, which does show how much she cares.

The whole declaring that the Glowing Dawn is family felt a bit much. I can understand why Reina would feel that way given what we learn of her backstory, but it feels pretty early to plant that idea for the audience. It will probably feel more believable as the series progresses, much like Gekkomon being someone dear to Tomoro, but it just felt a bit too soon to make such a claim. Calling them teammates would feel much more fitting. It did make Tomoro think back to how his brother protected him in the same way and that was enough to at least make him more open to teamwork. Reina taking responsibility for her mistakes as a leader was good too.

The fight was pretty good and we got to see some decent teamwork between all of the Digimon. It also made me realized that only Reina and Kyo's partner Digimon have evolved. I'm sure that they're saving a big moment for Gekkomon's Champion form, but maybe they're saving Chiropmon's evolution for a focus episode for Makoto. There was a bit of setup with some mysterious person in the shadow attracting both human and Digimon. The Digimon being mirrors to their human owners kind of make sense, although I didn't think that Tomoro like food nearly as much as Gekkomon does.

Will be this Digimon anime dubbed into English? If I am wrong, will you please tell me why the Digimon anime aren't dubbed since Fusion and why the Adventure portions are the only ones that are dubbed?

I thought that this week's episode was pretty good. I wasn't expecting Tomoro and Gekkomon to be out on their own so soon, but I was okay with that. Since the setting seems to be so futuristic, having a more rural area was interesting. Pandamon was also interesting in that he seemed to have been a wild Digimon who chose to partner with a human instead of coming from one of those devices. His bond with Gekkomon was rather cute. Although, given that he is weakening due to the old man's e-pluse and they had him become siblings with Gekkomon, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes the way of Leomon by the end of the next episode. It still provides some interesting bits of world building.

There were some good action and while we do learn who set out the letter to the grunt in the previous episode, I doubt that he'll be the first major antagonist. He doesn't really give off that vibe to me and I don't think that they'd reveal him so soon unless there was some twist later on. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the Glowing Dawn show up for the fight in the next episode though.

Digimon Beatbreak confirmed to be getting an English dub.

Probably one of the faster turnarounds for a Digimon dub! Not that I'm complaining .

Digimon Beatbreak confirmed to be getting an English dub.

According to this tweet, another installment in the Digimon franchise is outsourced to Studiopolis. Basically, all the Digimon stuff were dubbed in Los Angeles except for that Digimon movie redub, which was dubbed in Texas instead. Theoretically, that be would like dubbing all the Yu-Gi-Oh! stuff in New York except a small portion outsourced to Vancouver. What do you think?

It looks like they are doing what they are doing with the One Piece dub, in they will be releasing in episodes dumps form time to time.

Here's the dub trailer:

 

[LinusFan303]

Watch the first five episodes. Going with the dub. I think it's a good start, back to more serialized Digimon (again, I liked Ghost Game so never had a problem with a different format). The first episode as an intro was really good at setting up things. The world having these little AI egg devices is interesting and like that apparently digimon are glitches from these machines. Tomoro is an interesting lead with him being an outcast because he can't use the AI egg thing sets up something about the world here. The first episode showed the show is going to be slightly dark, but doesn't at least start too dark.

I like the group , Glowing Dawn, and a majority of them being teens as leads, except Makoto, is a different direction too and I like how the first few episodes are setting them up to get to know each other where it feels natural and so the way Tomoro is trying to figure things out has been well done.

Gekkomon is cute and a pretty interesting Digimon. I'm liking this so far.
