oh geez. omegamon already. that escalated fast in battle levels. then again, being realistic, you can't expect your enemy to be the same level as you. cautious hero thought me that when general level shows up in starting village.
nice actions but none stop actions. I had watched episode 1 and 2 and there is no stop in between with the nuclear missile being lunch by the end of the episode. I know I sometimes said that the pacing is slow but this is fast.

They went straight from Champion/Adult to Omnimon.
Gotta say, this feels like a bad fanfic that crosses between how the mangas usually go and the Story games, all while using the Adventure cast. There's no sense of wonder or mystery; it's just battle after battle and ass-pulling power/evolutions with no rhyme or reason. I honestly don't see how they make this interesting going forward without implying that this is all some sort of virtual scenario by evil Gennai looping their consciousnesses through a different timeline to either find their weakness or a way to break them. This would explain why it's so different, why they can get so much power so fast, and still keep it canon. I doubt that will be the case, though. I feel like this is just trying to use the rule of cool to Michael Bay up Digimon. |

Yeah, not a fan of Yamato's new personality. He was a fairly sociable kid and perfectly capable of smiling (this is him introducing himself in episode 1 of the original). But now he's a stereotypical perpetually frowning antisocial rival ala Sasuke. Just... why?

This second episode is the embodiment of things escalating quickly. Not only are they trying to stop a missile from wiping out a entire city, but they already went all the way to Omnimon. Hopefully it's a temporary power up and they have to slowly work their way up again

Having watched both episodes, I'm excited, confused and a bit scared at the same time. I don't know the episode count, but even if its only 12
Spoiler for Spoiler:
Ironically enough, this has already gone off the rails. Not sure if that's good or bad, though, because, once again, ironically, this doesn't feel like good old digimon despite the parallels. |

They could explain Omegamon's early appearance away. For example they could say that Gennai or Homeostasis intervened and allowed them to temporarily reach that level.
However, another issues is that, if they are willing to show off Omegamon so soon, I hope that they have something worthwhile to reveal later. Whether is new power-ups for Omegamon or new fusions involving the rest of the cast. |

They sure wanted a proper departure from the original series with this reboot. My only complaint so far is how fast Taichi acts. It's like the writing is forcing him to befriend everybody he meets randomly. Almost like V-Tamer Taichi. The scenario seems like a mix between Hosoda's film and Tamers' villains.

Ok...where the heck is the story going? At one point I was simply concerned that they were going to go Ultimate in Episode 3. Hahaha, what a silly notion . Obviously the only option here was to go Omnimon in episode 2!
We haven't even gathered the main cast, met the other digimon, or even had them evolve to rookies. Going straight to the post-game and the movie plot lines. Now, changing things up a bit isn't a terrible thing. If you are going to remake something, some variety is good. I'm just legitimately uncertain where they are going with all this. Has someone written a plot for this story or are the writers just winging it episode by episode?

now i'm really ultra confuse, it's not sure the "last episode of the whole serie?????, as the others noted how things scalated too quick and crazy, going from graymon to omegamon??? in just 2 epsiodes??, this is not a cautious hero episode??, this enemy have "so many evolutions" which don't even make any sense, basically give-up if he gonna keep "evolving each time they beat him", things are really crazy and i don't even know how to react, really honestly i don't know if i liked that 2 ultra rushed insane fast pace episodes", where i really feel like a whole 200 to 400 episoddes have passed instead of just 2 episodes and as the others noted the full group is not even formed, this will now somehow killed all the "others forms", like war graymon, or metal garurumon or even the others choose ones digimons, when you already showed "the end game" in the 2 first episodes.
i will give it the 3 to 5 episodes rules to see if i wil drop it at last for now, before decide if the serie is good or just a asspull party, with many "evolutions" coming out of nowhere just for the sake of "cool rules".

Gizmodo article:
Digimon Adventure: Upped Its Game By Focusing on the Real World "Toei’s Digimon reboot could have easily just been a rehashing of the original story with a fresh coat of present-day animation slapped on top of it. Thankfully, the new series has endeavored to go for something much more fascinating: a take on the Digital World with connections to the real world that make the Digidestined’s battles have immediate impact beyond the kids. At the same time that Digimon Adventure:’s first two episodes have introduced a number of the franchise’s most iconic characters, like Taichi, Yamato, and Koushiro, the series has also made it abundantly apparent that the story being told is distinct from its predecessor. Because the show’s set in the modern day, the kids’ relationship to the internet is profoundly deeper, and while they don’t at all have a solid understanding of the Digital World itself, they do understand that data is power in the sense that it correlates to physical things and processes in the real world that people rely on."

Omegamon also stays silent throughout all of his appearances in Tri and, as far as I can remember, in Revenge of Diaboromon. |
