>New Appmon series comes this fall

ftfy

>>14255877
You know Digimon started off as a dumb LCD virtual pet, right?

>>14255890
I had no idea anon! Please, enlighten me.

>>14255877
>humans have called the creature appmon
>it's revealed they are a race called digimon
>calls humans racist

kind of obvious.

>>14255830
Digimon died a long time ago

>>14255947
It died in the sense that it went onto become a fairly big franchise full of many diverse Anime, manga, video games, etc.

>>14255894
it was basically Bandai's way to make Tamagochi appeal to young male kids since apparently the Tamagochi was big among them.

Solution? Make them have interconnected battle simulator, and voila

The video games were already heading in the smartphone-tech direction anyway

>>14255952
And they were garbage

>>14256171
So are a lot of things that are still alive.

>>14256176
They ain't alive if they ain't good

>>14256208
Gundam looks pretty alive to me and it hasnt had a good series in over a decade.

>>14256171
I dunno dude, Cyber Sleuth and Next Order were both pretty good.

>>14256222
Nope

>>14256237
Also nope

>>14255830
Is there even anything other than this promo image? No pics, trailers, anything?

Will this be the first series without koji Wada?

>>14256394
Just a magazine scan of the same image but with a bit of extra text.

The series starts in the fall, is for kids, and follows a group of kids who find monsters living inside of Apps, the Appmon.

Full name of the series is Digimon Universe: Appmon

>>14256439
Xros Wars only had one song from Wada, but technically yes, this will be the first series ;__;

>>14255830
there's two ways I see the whole "Applimon" thing going;

1.) it's not an attempt at renaming Digimon, merely another type of Digital Life like Digi-Gnomes, so basically a Mini-Con/Transformer sort of parallel, in which case it'll be fine

2.) it is indeed an attempt at renaming Digimon, in which case they're going to have the entirety of the fandom bitch at them and they'll pull back from it, cause Digimon is still a small enough franchise in it's current state that it can't afford to piss off the fans

>>14256327
>Bandai considered making a Cyber Sleuth Anime
>It must be because it's a shit game

>>14256511
>One
We Are Xros Heart
X4B The Guardian
Sora Mau Yūsha! X5
Evolution and DigiXros ver Taiki (duet Takayoshi Tanimoto but he's main vocals on the Taiki version)
Evolution and DigiXros ver Kiriha (reversal of the Taiki ver role wise)
We Are Xros Heart X7 (with Takayoshi Tanimoto and Ayumi Miyazaki)

>>14256511
>Xros Wars only had one song from Wada
Wait what?

Xros Wars had the majority of it's vocal tracks from Wada. That's why the OST was so great

>>14256521
I thought Applimon was like the subtitle of the show, they were still called Digimon, just to indicate that they were associated with smart devices this time

>>14256521
>2.) it is indeed an attempt at renaming Digimon, in which case they're going to have the entirety of the fandom bitch at them and they'll pull back from it, cause Digimon is still a small enough franchise in it's current state that it can't afford to piss off the fans

I think this is an attempt at renaming the franchise but it won't matter if the fandom complains as long as it's a hit with kids.

>>14256592
>>14256551
My bad, I honestly forgot most of Xros Wars, I never re watched the series after the bad taste Boy Hunters left in my mouth

>Kouji Wada dies
>The following month a new series is teased
It really is the end of an era...

In all seriousness, the full title suggests it's going to be something of a spin-off, although I'm not sure how since apps are still digital last I checked. Bottom line, it's a subtitle, not a name change.

>>14256756
>>14256521
>>14256613
I think Digimon will exist concurrently with Appmon, with Digimon being more on the Digital world while Appmon exists in the phone net or something.

>>14257410
Neck yourself.

What do you think appmon will work? Are they going to digivolve or get app udates? Which wil be their attributes? besides data, virus and vaccine there will be new attributes like Social appmon or Games appmon?

Oh go fuck yourself. It was a good concept for just one series

>>14258433
If that isn't Digimon then what is Digimon?

>>14255830
Reminds me that I still haven't watched tri yet. I should get on that.

>>14258817
Not to mention unlike other series, they actually stuck with it even after they introduced a midseason upgrade.

>>14259025
Well to be fair, 02 and Tamers are the only seasons that phased out their starting gimmicks. Frontier and Savers kept theirs integrated into the plot as well.

>>14259309
Frontier sorta abandoned the "single mon" thing though, especially with the introduction of "use the spirits from your teammates" shtick.

Savers didn't have a gimmick, it was a traditional "evo to fight" one. DigiSoul is just an extra.

>>14259309
Frontier just phased out everybody else in the second half

Yeah because fuck Blitzmon. No gotta wank the two other kids hard as fuck.

Fuck Frontier man.

>>14255830
Hopefully it's better than that Tri thing.

>>14259896
Tri is not that bad, its giving screen time for the rest of the cast.

>>14259906
>Tri is not that bad
Tri does absolutely nothing but having the old cast on screen doing some teen drama crap.

>>14259915
Yes and no S2 cast at all in the group. Plus the added screentime and growth of people who are not Tai. What is there not to like?

>>14259915
And you expected what out of it? They're not kids anymore so of course they're not going to act like kids.

>>14259915
That's because Tri was made for the Japanese who wanted to see a school life about the Chosen Kids. The producer even said so.

>>14259935
Not him, but my main beef with the new show is that the Digital World seems to be in a gigantic crisis and the kids don't seem to be taking it seriously.

>>14259970
Its mostly that they don't know what is going on. Then again Leomon dying might have them actively start doing shit.

There is another part coming up.

>>14259959
Not shit directing, not shit production, something else than everyone being as angry and sad as your average Okada garbage.

>>14260196
>Not shit directing, not shit production
Wow anon. You're making such a strong argument
>I don't like it therefore it's shit

>>14260216
It's shit because the directing sucks, the production sucks and the contents is a fat lot of nothing that at best tries to appeal to nostalgia with fanservice and is still not much competent at it.

>>14259959
I was hoping for something that was mildly amusing, not two super boring movies where literally nothing happens with forced teen melodrama.

I was hoping since this was Digimon there might be some actual battles, I mean look at past Digimon movies, that's what they mostly are. Here we get maybe 5 minutes of battle all up by the end of the films? Not to mention it looks like ass.

The only thing about it that doesn't suck is the new voices and the fact it still has a chance to get better, but it's a nostalgia cashgrab so I doubt it.

I was just worried it'd stop us from getting a new TV Anime until it was done, so thank fucking god for Appmon.

>>14260239
Did you go in not actually knowing what Tri was going to be? How fucking retarded are you?

Please have real evolutions please have evolutions

>>14260249
That is what Tri was going to be at the start. Plus its nice to get some character development from someone other than Tai.

>>14260250
Because expecting something to be shit makes it not shit? That's quite the leap of logic you're doing here.

>>14260251
>>14259828
They have evolutions, just look at the pic, and Browsermon (or whatever is his name) has all his evos there.

>>14260267
If you expect it to be shit then you don't fucking watch it.

>>14259935
>no S2 cast at all in the group
It has Hikari and Takeru

More over you should be pissed that they're NOT using the S2 cast since that time spent on these dips could be used to improve their characters and give your butthurt some peace.

>>14260275
The perfect philosophy for underage idiots coming from an underage idiot.

>>14260283
They were both in S1 as well so I consider them S1 characters.

Granted I forgot about one S2 character, Ken.
The other S2 characters
>Daisuke
>Miyako
>Iori

are not in there.

>>14260306
>I think its shit so I will watch it so I can have a terrible time and shit on everything about it
Yes this is perfect philosophy for underage idiots.

>>14260318
>I know everything about everything before even getting familiar about it
That's how underage idiots think.

>>14259828
I can't wait to see a full pic of the clock guy's evo. Looks pretty boss, like Duskmon with clocks instead of eyes.

So, do we know if this appsmons are another race of Digimons or just a sub-group?

>>14260332
I'm more surprised at the amount of Tri apologists.

>>14260624
I hate it.

>>14260932
Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. I don't hate the movies honestly, they've just been disappointingly mediocre.

>>14260599
To mee it seems they're AIs directly tied to a single app instead of free-roaming programs like Digimon

Aww shit, I hope we get a new full color v-pet with it. Cocotama got a color v-pet, no reason Digimon shouldn't.

Also I enjoyed Tri, didn't think it was the best thing in the world but it was fun to me.

>>14260260
>character development
Not really

>Mimi is being overly pushy and isn't paying attention to what's going on around her, going so far as to cause needless damage that could have been avoided had she simply paid attention and was more considerate of her surroundings
Solution: Mimi is fine just the way she is, never change

>Jou is having a crisis he's stressed out, getting bad grades, and is legitimately worried about his future. While he's also at crossroads in life.
Solution: just ignore your problems Jou, your future isn't important.

Tri. has pretty much avoided character development thus far.

>>14260283
Nobody not even Japan cares about 02, outside of Ken. Besides every time they've attempted to fix the 02 kids it just made them even more terrible.

>>14264020
It worked for Persona 4.

>>14264112
Thing is though Digimon isn't Persona4 no matter how much it wishes it was.

>>14262375
I actually have my doubts we will.

>>14264112
And it's my main complaint with the game.

>>14256613
>I think this is an attempt at renaming the franchise
Not really, seems like an attempt to branch out. I hate to bring up this example but it's the textbook one: it's like SMT does. There are several sub-series that don't bear the name SMT (in Japan, anyway. The west seems to love sticking "Shin Megami Tensei" to everything), if they get successfull enough even is marketed differently.

>>14255890
Not even bandai knows that anymore.

>>14256521
Digifags like anything bandai throws at them, at least western ones. I dont think they would complain that much.

>>14259959
They already didnt act like kids in the original, that's what made those characters good. Tri is just them going through the same development or worse.

>>14260932

>>14259906
Tri is that bad.

>Rebranding the franchise

Digimon finally ded.

>>14272404
Ayy

>>14272412
Throwing away the original concept and relying on nostalgia indicates dead franchise anon.

>>14272981
How many times has Gundam reworked everythng?
At least twice and is still alive

>>14262375
I do too. I'm rather worried, though. I'm not sure how well the Xros Loader did in Japan, but it kept getting updates through to the end of Death Generals when the figure line was cancelled. That's always a good sign, r-right?

Reminder that if you like Digimon unironically you are a fucking retard.

>>14279168
Reminder that if you like anything ironically you are also a fucking retard.

>>14279168
Why's that?

>>14272981
Right? Remember when Digimon threw away the idea of regular evolutions in favor of that weird Armor shit? Killed the franchise immediately.

And that time Digimon threw away the idea of the kids being on the sidelines and had them merge with the Digimon? Franchise over.

Let's not forget that time Digimon threw away the idea of having partners at all. What a blunder that was, franchise instagibbed.

There was also Digimon, that franchise that all of a sudden decided Digimon were going to combine like they were the fucking Megazord. I've never seen a long-running franchise die more quickly than that.

>>14282985
All of those are anime only things. The very fact that you're pointing those out proves that the original concept has been discarded.

So not gameplay-wise? You know GAMEplay is an important part of video GAMES do you?

>>14284065
There were also those three times that Gundam was about building model kits for VR tournaments.

And that time it was about three-foot-tall super deformed robots.

And that time it was about three-foot-tall super deformed robots re-enacting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

And that time it was about a group of terrorists.

And that other time it was about a group of terrorists with more pixie dust.

>>14284093
There's still a persistence of giant robot war on the majority and most popular entries. Those entries stand out precisely for that reason.

That said, I'm not that big on gundam and my original point was about digimon anyways.

Come on, man. Don't be one of those guys. If you remember the glory of the XW days you should be with it, not against it.

Digital Mecha Monsters combining is /m/.

Digital cellphone application monsters are not /m/.

It's /m/ regardless of whether you feel the need to split hairs. Otherwise Gatchaman Crowds isn't /m/ either.

>>14299155
>Otherwise Gatchaman Crowds isn't /m/ either.
You know, usually you should bring an uncontested example on that, like Gundam or Mazinger, not something "gray area" like Crowds.

>>14299474
No, that's my point. Nobody questioned Gatchaman Crowds, or at least it was tolerated because it was interesting enough.

Digimon on the other hand has an inherent stigma attached that makes everyone piss and moan simply because of what it is, despite arguably having more of a right to be here than a lot of other fringe franchises discussed on the board.

>>14303627
Becuase it's Power suit henshin heroes.

It certainly won't be the same, but if they manage to get Takayoshi Tanimoto back on board, he'll have good spiritual successor in badass insert songs.
