I've watched it! I'm kinda dissapointed though, I don't know why. There isn't even an ending "song". I don't like the fact the kids can have 2 Digimon you know. 1 is enough. I hope they add a ending song, a bit more drama and Digimons for the other kids.

So far I feel disappointed too. The whole goal of the anime is for Shoutmon to become the King? At least in the first seasons, it was to save the Digital World that was involved with the real world...
I don't say, there are villains in this season too, but it feels more like some sort of tournament.

I liked the old times, where the kids had only 1 Digimon, now it feels like Pokemon.

So... I'm the only person hating the shit out of the ugly ass design of the tripple fusion digimon dicking around in the OP?

Omnimons head, the hind legs of a wolf, a body built from LEGO and with a completely mismatched color scheme which seems created by a spastic 5 year old with ADD, and a pair of out-of-place looking heads on each shoulder, just so the design can be just a little bit more retarded.

Worst lead digimon ever, and it ruins much of the enjoyment just knowing that that buttugly assmuncher of an aboirtion is lurking around, just waiting to burst out on the screen to stink up the whole shebang... Ugh...

Shoutmon X2 looks weird as hell though. It's probably the tiny head.

I'm very disappointed in this series. Couldn't stand this episode. I hate Shoutmon. The character design for the three main protagonist also pisses me off.

Digi Xross Digivolution is simply retarded and pretty much looks like they creators couldn't think of anything else.

Only gonna give this a couple more episode, if nothing interesting happens, I'll probably drop it and rewatch Season 1 or 2 to get this out of my system.

Pretty much impossible to find a Jap Audio/Eng Sub version of S1/2.(Last time I checked anyways, a few years ago). Maybe the movie but the TV series... pain. Dub is fine.

At the very least, the OP for this series is decent. IMO.

Um, we're on episode *two*. None of the other seasons had their save-the-world plot going by now, except maybe 02 as a lot was already established by Adventure.

I have no idea what everyone is complaining about besides 'they changed it do it's horrible'. Seems to be doing a lot better than Savers already, though the pacing seems to be pretty fast for whatever reason. I'm enjoying it though, and interested to see how this pans out.

Lol ... If you are a real true fan of Digimon, you will know Ryuu-Rogue did the S1 in Jap Audio/English Sub and positron have finished like a month ago the S2 in Jap Audio/English Sub.

Sorry guys but you failed this time. XD
Anyways, the thing to be "king" for Shoutmon is good for me. That change to much of the "We will be all friends and save the world !" thing. x_x

I can't help but wonder if people would enjoy this show a lot more if they could just take their nostalgia goggles off for a moment. I love Adventure and 02 as much as the next Digimon fan, but seriously, how can you declare Xros Wars Ruined Forever after two episodes? The other shows had their own flaws early on, but we're willing to overlook them because they became so great after a while. Who says Xros Wars isn't going to do the same?

I like what's there so far, and how Taki and Shoutmon's characters are established. Both can't turn their back on someone in need, hehe. And for everyone who managed to get throuh episode one thinking "Oh, Shoutmon just wants to be king, what a lame goal!" this episode kindly spells it out that "king" is just shorthand for the good old "I want to be able to protect my friends" motivation. It's common, but it's a good one, I think.
(Let's face it, Digimon always gives an "it's been done before, but it's presented well and we love it" vibe. So where's the "this has been done before so it has to be bad bad bad" thing coming from?)

Also, Cutemon. What an... apt name. That thing is so cute it's going to give me cavities. ^^;

It's not that I hate this season. It's wonderful actually. I've waited so long for a sequal you know. I only think they should have made it different.

Things I hate:
1. Kids get more Digimon, they should stick to only one.
2. Ugly Digi evolution.
3. No ending "song".

They should erase the Xross Digivolution and just stick to the original evolution line, with a Biomerge at the end (that was just fantastic in Tamers) and a better storyline (like in Tamers).

Still though, don't get me wrong. I'm really enjoying this! Just feel kinda dissapointd.. but hey, we're only just at the secon episode.

I might be the only one, but I rather prefer Digimon Zero Two than Digimon Adventure, Frontier and Savers (from the last one mentioned, I only saw few episodes, but that was enough to drive me off. I might see it again some day, but I don't know when). And as I said before, Digimon Tamers is still my #1. So far, Digimon Xros Wars has chances to be my #2

My Digimon series top so far:

01: Digimon Tamers
02: Digimon Xros Wars (just after only two episodes so far, but it's still soon)
03: Digimon Zero Two
04: Digimon Frontier
05: Digimon Adventure
06: Digimon Savers (few episodes seen, but hoping to see it again and complete it someday to give a more clear opinion)

Well, to be fair, it seems like only 3 out of the 5 known kids even have digimon in the first place, while Zenjiro and Akari seem to be supporting characters. I actually kind of like the idea of the Chosen [Er, Generals..whatever they are called here] commanding their own army, it's an interesting new twist. If the other two do not get Digimon, they could basically skip the problem of Taiki being a glory hog [Takuya, Kouji, MARCUS], as the other two wouldn't have need to battle anyway. So I guess we'll see how that pans out.

And I made a judgment upon episode 2. Surely, Digimon gets better after episode 5, however the main basis is awful personally to me. For example the digi-evolution or Taiki having an army of Digimon. I just said that I miss the old times.

Well, in Digimon Frontier it was also obvious that they were gonna save the world, because they were the legendary warriors.

yup Tamers>adventure>savers>02>frontier

I really hated frontier, boring bs all the time, I forgot a bit about 02, don't really know how it went...

Tamers is definately the best

The only thing about this serie is that madleomon is such a weak guy. I thought ultimate digimon were pretty strong, but i guess that doesn't matter anymore. Furthermore i really don't like that beatle/robot guy, he's just ugly as f*ck... For the rest this serie is pretty enjoyable

Yes. Tamers was the best!

They should just get rid of mult. digimon for each child and the music theme.

I do like that the main digimon has an incentive of his own.

...I thought about it enough already, but didn't come to a conclusion, so maybe someone of you might help:

WHY THE HELL is there a V on the XrosLoader? Why is the Logo a V? Why has Shoutmon a V on his head?

XrosLoader, not V-Loader!


Episode was okay, the whole King-theme contradicts the Digimon-origin, though.
I mean, yeah, it's just episode 2 and in Adventure we also had some episodes til the plot was revealed step by step, but still...

There's no real threat to the Digiworld aside from War. War is bad, of course, but it won't destroy the Digiworld itself.

We'll see, I'm still eager for more~

Ok, it's really bugging me how this one got all the flaws Frontier had. It's really annoying me to death how a pathetic little rookie can stop Orochimon, an ultimate, with next to no trouble at all.

EDIT: Plus, they are doing nothing Digimon-like other than using names. Seriously, using the smaller digimon as innovative items/weapons? Next thing you know, we'll have digimon merging with humans. Oh, wait..

HalRyder : If you saw the two episodes ...
Have they ONE TME spoke about the level in Digimon ?
It's stupid but i don't remember Xros Wars to spoke about Rookie, Ultimate, Perfect level ...
So if they don't spoke about that, they don't "exist" for the moment so a big bad guy who is defeated by three little guys, at this moment of the story, it's not a problem.

I would like to see them explain the difference in power now since the Rookie/Child VS Ultimate/Mega and winning thing is a bit odd. In Adventure 02, Armor Digimon were at Champion level so I'm guessing that the Xros versions are also Champion/Adult?

I don't understand how some people can gauge an anime based on the first few episodes.

Digimon Xros Wars definitely shows potential at this point.

The only issue I have thus far is with the Xros system as it simply makes the Digimon to powerful. Hopefully some flaw or issue is introduced to prevent the over reliance on this ( Maybe in a similar way to Skull Greymon's introduction).
Perhaps since it relies on Taiki having sound tactics this could be used against him as he realizes that actual battles do not quite go as he imagined they would. (Perhaps I am over thinking this however I think it would make a brilliant opportunity for character development.)

Cutemon is a wonderful idea. I would like to seen where Cutemon fits into the evolution line. The character design is just to similar to Lopmon and Terriermon to be that way by accident.

Graphic-wise it's not really good... but it's understandable. After all it's from Toei... but the presentation was was pretty nice, content is nice and there really are 'infinite' possibilities to the digimons' attacks.

No love for Frontier in this thread leaves me in despair.

Frontier>Adventure 01>Tamers>Adventure 02 for me. Haven't watched Savers yet.

I would have appreciated it if MadLeomon died but him being alive again is kinda disappointing. And what's with the different color of Greymon for Blue(the rival, forgot his name). I kinda get now why Shoutmon is named like that. He's too loud. Less talking, more plot and fighting kthnx. This DigiXros thing had many uses but I don't like it at the moment. I'll get used to it somehow.

Lilymon was awesome. Nuff said ;)

I'm a first time Digi watcher, well other than the random dub episodes I caught on TV years ago, and I'm really enjoying this.

It's so GAR, which is +1!

And, I love the seiyus, especially Shoutmon, he is awesome.

I personally think the Xros is cool, I like the whole fighting system.

I have already grabbed Ryuu-Rogue's batch of S1, and I'll be watching all of the series now.

Just another long show to jump into, I really think I have a problem, LOL.
I can't stop watching animu!! XD

Maybe my fav of the season, but that's gonna be hard to call, and I still haven't started Sengoku Basara 2 yet...the GAR of all GAR!

Random things starting.

1) I re-watched Adventure, 02 and watched tamers all with jap audio, english subs 2 weeks ago (finished tamers today). So nothing is impossible.

2) I don't know about the setting this will follow since its just 2 eps but i really don't like the characters,music,evolution and digimon. Why did they changed Graymon? Cutemon??? Dont make me laugh. Culumon is Cutemon ultimate form after jogress evolving 100 cutemon together!! (Aside from trolling seriously Culumon is the cutest digimon ever)

3) How come no power level? They ruined all the fun ffs. I wasnt sure at first ep but this one made it clear. There are no ultimate forms or anything like that. Digimon can win a fight based only at how good they are at it. I dont like this either :(

4) I have no nostalgia glasses or w/e people who like this keep talking about. Im very specific with the things i dont like. The animation could be better (not saying its bad atm but still), the music is NOWHERE as good as adveture or tamers, I dislike the chars AND the digimon. The new digivice seems stupid. And god when Taiki is using the Xros shit and doing that lame move that we have to see 3 times... I hate that too.

Anyways im not gonna drop this... yet. I wanna watch at least 4-5 more eps and hope something good happens which will change my mind.

Anyways, on topic: I was hoping that one of the other people who had made it to the digital world had gotten a digivice in this episode and had found thier digimon that could digicross.
