Episode 3 gives us the first (non-dream) appearance of Shoutmon X3, as well as gets the slashfic writers all hot and bothered with the introduction of Kiriha, a rival DigiXrosser who is blonde, callous, and talks about wanting to "own" Taiki.

Also, MadLeomon FINALLY dies after managing to survive two separate ass-whippings. Pretty impressive for someone with that name. XD

Episode 5 introduces this world's version of the Legendary Digimon, in the form of summoning chips called DigiMemories: Leviamon, MarineAngemon, HolyAngemon, Garurumon, and...Agumon? Guess they were chosen so there'd be one Super Ultimate, one Ultimate, one Perfect, one Adult, and one Child.

Shoutmon X4 is gonna show up next episode, too.

So it is pretty much the plot of that one Digimon Manga with tweaks. Okay...

It has some things reminiscent of V-Tamer; the Digimemories are completely different from what they were in Next.

Episode 12 has finally come out, now that the hiatus has ended. Norio Wakamoto appears as the voice of Blastmon, heh.

Also, looks as though Baalmon is gonna join Xros Heart, and DigiXros into....

Necrobump out of irritation. Episode 30's been subbed, and gives us our first classic-style Evolution in the form of Shoutmon becoming OmegaShoutmon, as well as setting up the next half of the series after a pretty grim battle where the bad guys basically won and kicked our lead, his two sidekicks, and his Digimon into the Real World. Cue time skip.

This wouldn't be so bad, except that the show is going on hiatus until April 3, where it'll debut at a new time slot. Damn cliffhangers....

Double-necro-BUMPing this topic because of the newest info about Season 2.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-09-09/new-digimon-tv-series-to-assemble-franchise-heroes

Apparently they're gonna pull a Decade/Gokaiger and have some of the old characters return.

I got sort of behind on this one thanks to losing my internet, but overall I enjoyed it. I felt Taiki needed more character development, and I wasn't happy that they ditched Akari & Zenjirou at the half-way mark, but Shoutmon has easily been the best lead Digimon ever, and the show has had some seriously great moments.

Right now, I'd rank it like so:

Tamers
Savers
Xros Wars
Adventure
Frontier
Adventure 02

Akari and Zenjirou have been getting some screen time since two weeks ago(mind you, Beelzemon just went out the door as well). But gah...so many twists...

Yeah, I was glad they FINALLY showed back up. Never should've left, though.

My one real issue with this series is that all the humans aside from Nene (and at times Kiriha) never really got that much development, Taiki especially. Hopefully they remedy this in the next season.

Agreed. It was surprisingly moving, far more so than when you-know-who bit it.

Of course, it could all be moot, given what Taiki's plan for the Code Crown was.

Also, Olegmon is still a total bro.

First episode of S2 is out subbed now. Sorta bummed that we don't see Nene or Kiriha or even Akari & Zenjirou (though I'm at least glad they showed up for S1's finale). Older Yuu amuses me, though. Sorta trolltastic, like Nene was at the beginning. And the fact that they're focusing on humans as the villains (at least at first) is a lot more like I thought the first season was supposed to be.

Hope Shoutmon shows up soon. Gumdramon's a decent lead partner, but I'm not sure that I like that they've dropped DigiXrossing in favor of straight evolution at the beginning. Then again, I reckon they'll have them start that once the other leads show up.

Whee, Shoutmon's back, and he apparently took a level in bad-ass since becoming King. Love the scarf. Wish it showed up when he evolves to OmegaShoutmon, though.

And while I don't exactly HATE Tagiru and Gumdramon, I can't really say I like them, either. They both come across as dumber, more obnoxious versions of Taiki and Shoutmon...sort of like how Veemon and Daisuke were less impressive versions of Taichi and Agumon. Protip, guys: aping Adventure 02 is NOT the best idea.

I do like the whole way they're having the Digimon hunt humans, while other humans hunt the Digimon WITH Digimon, though. It gives off a vibe similar to Tamers, Savers, and even the various video games, which is where some of the better Digimon lore has come from.
