Digimon Cross Wars- New Series Speculation and Discussion

[zoombie]

Are we going to have dark choosens or dark tamers, kids and their digimon partners causing trouble? I always thought it would be cool to have some evil kids and digimon partners.

Being Toei, it could be revealed that an evil digimon villain has pocessed good digimon and their partners with darkness.

I prefer not to remember "Davis" because when I think "Davis," I think "That annoying 'dude' voice." So let's go with Daisuke.

I kind of liked Davis too and I thought his voice worked for him. At least he sounded energetic, unlike Cody.

While that would be cool, I made note of the word "Tamers" to indicate that it was a plural connotation, thus, there would be more kids.

Ah, I didn't think of that, but that does make sense. Maybe more kids will show up in later promotional images or appear a bit later on in the storyline. I like that we've been getting clearer images of the two pictures. A lot of the Digimon around Taiki look like they could be machine/robots to me.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like all the Digimon will combine to form one major? Because if you ask me, that's kinda crazy, but doesn't sound like something they wouldn't do.

 

[CartoonOverlord]

They do. They all merge into that Omnimon knockoff in the back.

Tv Asahi Launches DCW Site

"Behold my army of RICECAKES!"

TV Ashai?? Why not the more popular TV Tokyo? It would give the show a better chance, that much is for sure. Have it air before Bleach, I am sure some kids will tune in. I found myself tuning in to some Naruto accidently before 5Ds airs, and I am sure a native speaker could get into a show in a situation like that.

A lot of Bandai/TOEI stuff are in TV Asahi.

Yeah they got the whole PreCure/Super Hero Time block going on on the weekend.

I hope this airs after PreCure/Super Hero Time because that would be like two hours of fun right there.

Well there's some boyband's variety show after that, so I doubt it could air there, but if Battle Spirits ends, I could see it airing before Goseiger.

I just noticed that ShoutmonX4 has drills on it's kness like Gurren Lagaan/GaoGaiGar. I am a happy person right now. (I think a good mecha always needs drills)

Man, I hope Battle Spirits ends!

BTW, for those wondering why it's not airing where it usually does, isn't that because DBKai is airing there right now still?
EDIT: Just realized that it's a good thing that it's not airing at 9 because DBKai airs at that time and that's practically ratings suicide.

You know, looking at the Omegamon lookalike in the background, and how all the Digimon combine to form him, I can't help but be reminded of Frontier's slightly gimmicky approach. Case in point, Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi's combined forms, as looking at Ardhamon, Beowulfmon etc. you can clearly see that they were deliberately designed with toys in mind; that their forms were designed to combine into them with the toys.

Not that that's a problem, just saying.

I dunno, I don't think Frontier has any more gimmicky-looking Digimon than other seasons. Like Omegamon from Adventure, for example.

But I do agree that this season's Digimon look really gimmicky. All of the Digimon look more like cheesy toys than interesting characters, IMHO.

Whilst I will agree that Omegamon was somewhat gimmicky as a character, I have to say, he didn't really feel like he'd been designed to be a toy, in the same sense as Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi's A-Hybrids and Ancient forms. I mean, War Greymon and Metal Garurumon do combine to form his arms, but otherwise? Not as much so as the later seasons.

Personally, I think there was more of a gimmicky feel with Zero Two, specifically V-mon's forms, who when compared with the Armored forms of Hawkmon and Armadimon, have significantly more resemblance to V-mon. Paildramon in particular felt like he'd been designed to be made into a toy.

And with Tamers, it didn't really feel like it'd had toys written into it. Not many Japanese transformers were actually produced, either - only Growmon/Megalo Growmon, Galgomon/Rapidmon, Guilmon/Dukemon and Impmon/Beelzebumon. In other words, the characters weren't designed to lend themselves to toys.

With Frontier, on the other hand, it was basically Adventure with a Sentai approach. And it's not just the basic concept. (read: characters are designed to be toys) I haven't really watched Savers (haven't had the time), but it feels less toy-driven.

At this point, I can know no more than anyone else on this board (unless any of you have connections to Toei or TV Asahi), but I have to say, the "combining" aspect has a rather cheap look to it.

Crap!Someone figured one of the cornerstone's to my digimon fanfiction story's plot!
must act casual.

If this will be a series more like a 'war' based series, will we see Digi-Beetles or something similiar?

So you're the guy who wrote Adventure 02

Well, that was still more thought-out than my Citramon/Parrotmon slash fiction.

Card slash. Card tournaments, Cards everywhere. Of course tamers is also toy driven.

Yeah, Tamer was totally about "buy the cards" though that did die down as the series went on.

(You know what's funny? Kamen Rider Ryuki came out after Tamers finished. I bet Toei realized "This totally works!" )

 

[FGfan]

Well okay, I'm not so much getting at toys in general as I am transforming toys and character designs. The new Omegamon clone just screams "designed to be a transforming toy," in the same sense as Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi's forms where you can see the combinations of the different forms quite clearly; like the Megazords. It didn't feel that way with the older seasons, but it does here. I'm not saying the show will be bad because of that, or anything (since I know no more than anyone else on this board, unless any of you have connections to Toei), just that the toy design really sticks out.
