Digimon Xros Wars celebrated its 15th birthday earlier this week. What are your memories of the most /m/ season of Digimon?

Assess Gekkomon's aesthetics.

>>23375973
undeniably a digimon but a little too much shit going on for my tastes

>>23375886 (OP)
>I was a teen when XW came out
fuck you
Anyway, I was into Digimon before I ever got into /m/ stuff and I never really dropped it or lost interest in it. XW was and still is the only series I watched from start to finish while it was airing though. I remember that guy who posted all the AMVs for the XW songs also posted all the episodes on his channel as they came out, though obviously they've long since been taken down
To this day I'm still pissed that we can't get anything other than Shoutmon and Omega Shoutmon in the games

Why are they making a mystery out of who the cast are? We already know they'll just be regular voice actors we always hear in anime.

>>23376012
I'd say Japanese people give way too much of a shit about seiyus but I feel the same way about a lot of the posters on this board

Looks cute, interesting choice for a main character digimon. Especially since that dude looks a bit like an edgelord.
I dont love it but looks cute.
Looking forward to know more.

>>23375886 (OP)
>What are your memories of the most /m/ season of Digimon?
I like the part where it was good from start to finish and the other seasons/movies after Xros Wars were awful by comparison.

>>23375886 (OP)
I still think Shoutmon X3 should've worked more like any of the Getter Robo incarnations.
Shoutmon X3 would've been the Getter 1 with a slide evolution ability into either Durulumon X3 or Ballistamon X3 and so on.
Would've also played even straighter into the super robot feel for which Xros Wars was going with.

>>23375973
Goofy cute, but secretly badass/10.

>>23376017
These are great.

Miyu Irino as Tenma and Megumi Han as Gekkomon.

>>23377093
>Megumi Han
My queen!

>>23377129
Congrats, Keiko Han's daughter.

Time Stranger having mid battle Jogress makes me think they could also use that to put more DigiXros form

>>23377093
>Miyu Irino
This is somewhat a full circle for me coz when I first saw Kingdom Hearts I likened Sora to Taichi, and now Sora's VA is in Digimon.

The KH Sora not Digimon Sora.

>>23376207
>I like the part where it was good from start to finish
You definitely aren't talking about Xros Wars.

>>23375886 (OP)
When Shoutmon took Taiki to get a lap dance to celebrate their first victory together, I knew we were in for something special.
Joking aside, the show was on during a rough time for me, so I'll always have an appreciation for it. Especially for being Digimon by way of Super Robot series.

>>23375973
He looks like a rad dude straight from the 90s. Like him already.

>>23377093
Haku and Pegassa, huh? Interesting choices. Can't wait to hear how they sound in the roles.

>>23377273
Irino was this guy last year.

>>23377198
But I am.

>>23375886 (OP)
WE ARE CROSS HEAAAAART!!

>>23375886 (OP)
Only read the manga but Shoutmon EX6 is insanely cool.

>>23252300
Extremely late, but thanks for the storytime(s). Don't know if you're still around, but hope things are going well with you.

Really cool to see the groundwork for Paradox being made. Also all the love for Elecmon, lol.

More new Digimon.

It had the absolute best evolution song in We Are Xros Heart X7, yes, even better than Brave Heart.

Until MAKUAKE came out in Ghost Game.

what's your digipartner, /m/? bonus points for OC

>>23375886 (OP)
Bandai should have made/announced a Figure-rise X3/X4/X5 for the Anniversary.

>>23380590
There's too many past blue rivals / other fan favorites to go through before they touch Shoutmon.

>>23380525
You're really going to disrespect Tagiru Chikara and X-treme Fight like that?

>>23380719
Considering the line bothered with Frontier but only had Kaiser Greymon and Susanomon, I doubt it. Clearly protagmons are the priority
Though I get the sinking feeling it'll be just like the games when they touch XW and all we'll get is Omega Shoutmon

"Gekkomon... so difficult... (I might end up erasing it)"

I have finished Tamers and started with Adventures.
Tamers was top-tier, but Adventures is kinda boring but I'm still in episode 11.
when does it get more interesting?

>>23386905
Around episode 21 and the arc that starts soon after.

>>23386912
will look forward to it.
thanks

>>23380553
Labramon that evolves into a western gunslinger take on the classic garurumon line with the mega being Coyomon, a magic coyote version of metalgarurumon.

>>23386905
For you? Never.

a male counterpart to Mastemon (Nephilimon? i could never figure out a good name for it)

>>23376017
The cat thing randomly being a cyborg abomination is pretty on-brand. Love the iai mollusk.

>>23377811
Is that fucking Chinese Digitamamon?

>>23380553
Sukamon, because we're both shit.

This is the cutest Digimon of all time
say something nice to her

>>23388988
Great nanny

>>23388988
I love him because he reminds me of Ivysaur

>>23388988
I wish it was a main character's Digimon

>>23389017
Children Code, Paradox and Get Back weren't enough for you?

>>23390023
I meant anime

>>23390086
Fair enough.

I really want a minipla X4 but sadly it's not happening

>>23377135
Huh she voiced Gon and Young Obito too.
So when's the dark evolution happening?

Vote results.

>>23391626
Surprised to see Flybeemon take #2. It's not because of that scene where Renamon fought three at once, is it?

https://twitter.com/Digimon_game/status/1946208344009793882

Assuming they do a soft reboot of tamers, now that burned through Adventure and 02, do you think they'll ever do more with frontier, or is it just being memory holed?

>>23392764
>Assuming they do a soft reboot of tamers
Yeah, I doubt that.

>do you think they'll ever do more with frontier
Just the usual low effort anniversary stuff.

>>23393045
>reboot
That would be interesting but no doubt it would be something to complement the og series, not replace it. So Adventure '20 again

>Frontiers
Memory hole it.

Just reached the 2nd OP and its amazing

>>23393568
Always preferred the first opening. Wada Kouji's voice just doesn't go well with hard guitars like that, definitely one of his weaker songs
But the imagery for OP2 is still pretty hype

>>23393601
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnJlp-du9Tk
What are your thoughts on this version of it?

>>23393612
Better. It matches the breeziness of his voice well. A bit surprising that it sounded kinda flamenco at times

>>23393601
I really liked the first one too, so yeah i get ya

>>23393568
I was always pretty fond of it myself.
>>23393601
I don't know, I like the contrast between Wada's softer vocals and the rock instrumentals, especially for the chorus.
>>23393612
Though this version is pretty great as well.

>>23380525
This is the best evolution theme:

>>23387324
You slapping together Angemon and Devimon or MagnaAngemon and NeoDevimon?

Jogress between marine angemon and cthyllamon, ya or nay?

>>23397605
Jogress is a fucking stupid concept and so are evil recolors

>>23397916
>Jogress is a fucking stupid concept
Why?

>>23396493
the former

>>23398127
because it trivializes component Digimon as nothing more than combination fodder, obviously
I don't think it's coincidence that Pokemon is basically the only major monster franchise that doesn't do fusions and is also the biggest one by a country mile. It's more willing to let designs stand on their own

>>23392764
I want another Frontier. Either a sequel, reboot or new thing. Call it Digimon Sentai

>>23398190
Are you confusing Jogress and DigiXros? Because that's a popular complain about DigiXros, and even then it's still wrong.
There's plenty more factors to Pokemon's popularity than just the lack of a single mechanic, bias towards what's perceived as the "originator" of a genre from starters.

>>23398296
No fuck doing a Super Sentai thing. It should be a Kamen Rider/Ultraman thing. 1 kid and 3 or 4 digimon he has to combine with.

>>23398348
A Kamen Rider/Ultraman analogue might be better because Digimon is notorious for protagonist privilege powerups. Hell biggest criticisms of Frontier would be that the others got shafted.

Xross basically does that already, with Taiki and Kiriha being the only one matters, and Nene practically gets shoved away.

>>23398324
No, Digixros I don't have as much complaint with seeing as every mon is involved in multiple combinations and each adds their own identifiable thing to every combination as opposed to Jogress where the components are totally unidentifiable in the result in pretty much everything except Palidramon and Silphymon

>>23398190
Fuck off with your pseudo console war bollocks.

>>23398592
I thought you said designs being able to stand on their own is a good thing? Now you're saying Jogress is bad because the end result is too original? Make it make sense.

https://twitter.com/DncCodex/status/1947635437192749270

>>23399549
I think the designs do stand on their own more with Xros because of the reasons I described. The components are still an obvious part of the combined form's identity, also the fact that every single mon that was involved with Xros has multiple different Xros forms mitigates it a lot. There's less of a sense of "these designs only exist to make some other design seem artificially cooler" since each Xros mon isn't specifically tied to any one form
tl;dr jogress = components are like Getter jets, xros = everything is like Jeeg parts

>>23399632
I can understand your reasoning for DigiXros, but I just can't see your point about Jogress. It may be true of some, but most Jogresses outside of the anime (barring Shakkoumon of course) are two standalone designs that combine into a third standalone design, who can also regular evolve from a completely different Digimon. It's literally the two cakes meme.

>>23401564
So there was an Armor Evolution toyline released alongside the anime, with Child Digimon + Digimental figures which could be assembled together into a new form.

The non-anime Armor Evolutions were created by mix-and-matching the toysets then working backwards to come up with an anime design this form could be based on, right?
Has anyone tried to recreate them with the actual toys? Snapping the parts for Holsmon onto V-mon to create Sethmon seems easy enough.
