I had the worst thought.

So we’ve seen what happens when Tomoro first try to cook, right?

Now imagine Tomoro’s first time being on duty for…

Laundry day

Reina: [holding a comically tiny thong] “I do NOT remember buying that.”
Makoto: “Actually, I think that’s one of Kyo’s aprons…”

I really liked digimon as a child but haven't watched since then, was thinking on rewatching

do you find it entertaining as an adult?

arabian-batboy:

Depends on the season, if you can recall anything from your first watch and whether you’re gonna watch the butchered English dub (please don’t) or the Japanese version, but yes I think it does hold up even as an adult.

The first 4 seasons were my favorites growing up, so I might be a little biased, but even from a young age I could tell that they showcased themes and relationships with more depth than other kids’ shows, granted they did it in a very subtle way to the point where you might need to actively over-think about certain dialogue or plot threads (I’m assuming they didn’t want to overwhelm kids by complex-sounding stories), but regardless I still enjoyed all the intrapersonal and interpersonal exploration of the characters in it.

If you enjoy media analysis, then I personally would highly recommend you check shihalyfie blog, they have so many insightful meta that break down each season and character. I’ve rewatched the first 4 seasons multiple times through-out my life and even I discovered new things while going through their blog and maybe reading some of these meta will help you decided on what season you want to rewatch first, as well knowing what certain plot-lines you need to pay attention to while watching if you want to engage with the series on a deeper level, though its definitely not required to still enjoy it.

Away from the writing, its still an objectively very fun and colorful Isekai adventure, back before the genre was overtaken by all of these generic over-powered male fantasies shows, with so many creative worlds and monster designs, not to mention they have my 2nd favorite anime OST of all time behind Bleach (fun fact: the composer of the first 4 seasons of Digimon, also did the music for Sailor Moon.)

Granted the animation can feel out-dated and the pacing might be a little slow, especially in 2026 where all of us are used to fast-paced stories with extreme events in highly detailed animation, but if you can get past that then I think you would really appreciate what they have to offer.

If rewatching older seasons doesn’t click for you, I’d actually suggest watching the current season AKA Digimon BeatBreak. Its still-airing and only has 14 episode out right now, but the animation and pacing are modern while mostly importantly still feeling like classic Digimon in terms of writing, probably because the head-writer is one of the OG Digimon writers from back in the day.

I’ve been really loving it so far, especially since the past few seasons were a little corny and childish for me, so I’m so happy to finally see a Digimon season with some depth to it again and if it continues being this good, then I might rank it up there with the first 4 seasons.

Digimon Beatbreak Thoughts

I am caught up on Digimon Beatbreak (S1E13 as of this writing). I wanted to share my thoughts below. (Not a review, I am not claiming critical prowress lol!). Spoilers.

Final thoughts: If you like digimon, watch it!

I’d say it’s a fairly “safe” digimon series so far.

… what? The fact is that while it’s technically aimed at children, it was borne out of the television side going “hey, Bandai, we have a free slot, do we have your permission to make a digimon series for it?”

And Bandai said yes, but the series lacks the usual major mandate toward merchandising (I’m curious how much official merch for it we’ll end up seeing…), and as a result got more freedom to deviate from the traditional formula. Like…

• The lead character is in a way a social pariah, which is extremely unusual already for digimon (this may be a Ryōta Yamaguchi thing…)
• It took twelve episode before Gekkomon evolved. TWELVE. This would never have been allowed in any other digimon series: the lead character’s partner must evolve ASAP.
• Also the 10 whole that Tomoro spent rejecting Gekkomon or doing anything digimon related? Extremely unusual. (i know it makes sense due to the writing, but that writing would not have been allowed ina normal merchandising-driven series)

These are NOT “safe choices” for a digimon series.

I wonder whether, unlike Saver, Beatbreak might achieve a similar mystique to Tamers in time. We could do with no longer putting a far-right ethonationalist like Nonaka on a pedestal…

(extremely unlikely to be honest, given how nostalgiapilled this frickin’ fandom is)

yeah, looks like it. The episode preview makes it clear it’s Raito’s partner.

Shoutmon, eating space gummies: Yo, they should make virgin edibles, y'know?

Rachel: That’s be so awesome.

Impmon, looks at them both: Bitch, ya mean food??

Nica: You guys, should lay off the gummies for a bit.

[Yeah, Shoutmon and his tamer Rachel are stoners, (this Shoutmon can digivolve into the punkmon line.]

Digimon BeatBreak reactions - episode 10

Just saying, I’m beginning to question the viability of pulling off a corporate cyberpunk dystopia as part of a franchise created so that Bandai could sell toys. At the very least, I doubt my ability to NOT be a snarky jerk about it.

On a lighter note: show of hands, who out there actually remembers that Taco Bell did a Digimon promotion back in the day?

Conventional Wisdom / Patreon

it’s hilarious you’d make that comment about probably the first season to be detached from direct merchandising.

Anonymous asked:

For Impmon, do you think you'd ever want to go back to the digital world? Maybe as a way to get stronger?
And Shrimp, how long have you been on the streets? You look really skinny, it's concerning...

shrimp-and-impmon-ask:

Impmon pauses at that before shuffling over to be laying on top of Shrimp, arms wrapping around the kid’s neck. Nuzzling against him affectionately.

“Well, you’re not alone anymore. Yer stuck with me for the long haul, yeah?”

Shrimp hums in response, reaching back to scratch Impmon ’s head.

“Yeah, yeah… Whatever you say, vuurbol…”

jadeazora:

Tbf to Kawarazaki, I do see why he comes off as cold regarding Digimon. There’s plenty of people who use them to commit criminal actions, potentially even lethal ones, on others, that’s why they have this whole bounty system, and this one is particular nearly killed several minors. He’s giving a bit of early-Tamers Yamaki.

I suspect he might be worse, given the whole dystopia feel the Ministry and Sapotama have, but that’ll probably come later.

Honestly I felt that Tomoro’s 180 was a little fast. I understand that it’s useful for the plot, but I do kind of want to see some backsliding.

He’s smiling under there, trust me.

It’s the KIND of smile that concerns me
