There are multiple humans, they've just decided to only introduce Haru Shinkai and his Appmon partner Gatchmon for the time being.
It also appears the Appmon evolve by "App-Combining" into Super-Appmon (a la Digixros and Jogress, probably moreso like the latter than the former). And they can even evolve further than that (they do not specify if the further evolution requires more combining). Last edited by Tokkan; 2016-06-08 at 22:20. Reason: I am tired. |

I went ahead and watched the raw because I am an impatient person.
So I don't completely understand what's going on, but I'm impressed by the aesthetics. The Applialize jingle is so incredibly catchy. The whole thing really does not feel like digimon to me (in a good way, digimon should stay digimon, "kinda digimon but not" isn't going to work, it needs to be its own thing). Also the vibes I'm getting remind me of Megaman Battle Network/Star Force. In a good way too. So each Appmon is more or less based on a phone app or net function, with its powers and attacks being strongly tied to that aspect. Gatchmon appears to be based on a net search function. Messemon seems like a chat client, and that other one we saw is maybe the phone camera? |

I actually really liked this first episode. It's got a nice aesthetic and a good sense of tone, and it felt fast-paced and fun. I can appreciate both that the 'smartphone apps' thing is a pretty bold conceit for a Digimon series, and that it makes a lot of business sense as a counterpart to Tri, even if it's not exactly a concept I like.
I found the main character kiiiind of obnoxious, though? His 'am I a main character' schtick wore a little thin, but I suspect the show will forget about it before long. All in all, it reminded me of Hunters, but done a lot better, with a much clearer idea of what they were going for. Hunters was kind of a mess, and also kind of soul-suckingly boring, but it had an interesting concept, so it's nice to see Toei revisiting some of those ideas. Quote:
Kind of a silly question, really.
