Quite awesome episode!!

They back on the real world but in that world it's haven't even past a day.
So I guess in the real world get a lot slow and Digital world goes so much faster so the whole world have been taking control over the darkness.

Digi Evoultion of Shoutmon was awesome. OmegaShoutmon

Anyway Taiki went back on Digital World.
Oh no Yuu Nene little brother have become evil.

In the previews:

Where did Nene and Kiraha get new outfit and they looks so more older right now?

Looking forward !! :D

Indeed an awesome episode :DDD

SHOUTMON SHINKA!!!
OmegaShoutmon is badass, even more powerful than x5...
One of the best for me so far... :D

So, based on what Omegamon said, there used to be evolution (digivolution) system on xros wars universe, eh? Can't wait for next episode (or next season)... 3rd April... T_T

So we still don't know if evolution levels as we knew them in Adventure through Savers exist in Xros Wars, since not even the site has elaborated on them yet.

And I'm fine with that, Xros Wars has been good so far without the multitude of Digimon levels that we had before making things more complicated than they need to be.

But here's a bit of info: an article described what Shoutmon under went as "Chou Shinka" (Super Evolution), which was what going from Adult to Perfect (Champion to Ultimate) was called in Adventure. So if Digimon levels as we once knew them do exist in Xros Wars, then Shoutmon would probably be an Adult/Champion.

WTF is EVOLVE!?
I'm pretty sure Taiki got a Golden Digi-Egg.
My whole childhood just flew out the window even though there was an awesome Onmimon.

Same here; I looked up in AnimeNewsNetwork, and found that there's a kind of "hiatus" and then a restart for the series.


Moar Digimon then =D

If they'd only bring some sense back into the evolutionary levels ie. wouldn't IGNORE them altogether.

Awesome Episode. Reminds me of Digimon Adventure episode 21.
It's possible that we may have not seen the last of Tacticmon since it was seen that his sword fell into the water instead of being destroyed along with him.

this episode was... mediocre...

I can't say it was terrible, but it was alright.

Obvious comparisons to Digimon Adventure 21 need to be made... in which Digimon Adventure 21 beats this episode by a mile.

I didn't like how fast Taiki made his decision. I would have liked more scenes with them dealing with returning to the human world. I would have liked it if they treated returning as an actual decision, with consequences and trade offs.

That said, I am excited for a new Digimon Xros Wars season. I view this as a fresh start for the series. The Digimon world has been changed, weeks if not months have gone by. It is time for them to get their act together

hopefully by reducing the cast size they can try to give the remaining character an increased focus. Nene will finally be able to to something! That is the bare minimum I ask. Make Nene worthy of being a chosen child.

Hmm....I'm not really sure how to feel about this season. While it's massively different from the Digimon, I'm used to it has it's fair share of pros and cons.

Pros
- Shoutmon was awesome. I didn't like him at first but he really grew on me and the fact that he has his own ambition that doesn't surround his human partner is great. I hope to see more of him digivolving on his own.

- The zones. I don't like that the digital world was split up but it brought a lot more variety to the areas besides the usual forest/ice/dessert.

- The storyline itself is quite actually quite good(The characters on the other hand....). I like the idea of war for the possession of the digital world and the winner being able to remake it how they please. Also, unlike a few of the other seasons there was no hesitation to kill the enemy since they were at war after all.


Cons
- Zenjirou and Akari. I don't think I really have to elaborate but I'll go ahead anyway. It just seemed pointless not to give them X Loader's and made them pretty useless. I mean, at least Zenjirou took over when Taiki wasn't around and he had a few moments with the sword but Akari was just morale support.

- Storing the Digimon in the Xros Loader. Yeah, this just felt eerily like Pokemon with that and I like my Digimon as far away from that as possible. Also, I rather see Taiki walking around with all of his digimon instead of his favorite 5. There's some digis that we saw in a scene or two and then didn't see again until the Tactimon battle.

- DigiXros. No not the form of digivolution itself. DNA Digivolving was one of my favorite things to come out of 02. I didn't like how they wouldn't really fuse, just sort of come on as equips. Even worse, they pretty much were all just further equips for shoutmon(who started to look like he belonged in Gurren Lagann)

- This is more nitpick than con but why was the OP in the middle of the episode all the time? That was pretty annoying.

So yeah, overall it wasn't bad for an anime but for a Digimon series it falls behind most of them imo. I'd give it a 6/10 since that's probably what it deserves but I might be being a little too hard on it considering Adventure 01 & 02 are fresh in my mind from watching them on dvd. Maybe I'll change it to 7/10 after thinking on it for a bit.

My ranking for Digimon Seasons so far
1) Adventure
2) Tamers (Need to rewatch)
3) Adventure 02
4) Savers
5) Xros Wars
6) Frontier (Need to rewatch)

AWESOME final episode for the first saga. Really gave it a big boost, even if I hoped until the end that Akari and Zenjiro would have gone with Taiki to the Digiworld. But I'm sure they'll reunite sooner or later. This episode showed this series can give so much tension and emotion. 9/10

Lol @ the beginning scene. Sure feels good to be back.

>We're not insects!
Probably my favorite quote from the episode..

And holy shit, they actually animated a digievolution scene. I haven't seen that in a looooooooooong time. Overall, season 5/10.

They defeated Tactimon in the real world thanks to Shoutmon digivolving, that was great and now only Mikey can go back to the digital world, awww.

I hope Jeremy and Angie get there.

What happened to Christopher in the end card? He used to be so hot and now he's still hot but looks so different!

Such an awesome episode!

Shoutmon evolving was the best part.
It's better that Zenjirou and Akari didn't go to the digital world too, they were useless.

Ignoring the glorious animation quality of this episode, all it proves is that evolution > DigiXros. OmegaShoutmon's battle against Tactimon's was a lot better than X5B's.

If there were good things I could say about Xros Wars, it's that it was easy to marathon, the OST is good, and few episodes when good are really good. The only time I ever got bored was near the beginning, but that's normal for Digimon. But, beyond that? Everything is done mediocre or terribly.

One big issue was that the show felt as if it had too many animation directors; at least, 3 times this show change its' presentation for no reason. Example: we started with no attack title cards then we had them? I loved whoever directed the middle because they cut short the overly long DigiXros scenes.

Next, this show treats its' watchers as if we're as smart as a goldfish. Maybe for the goldfish, that's fine, but I felt a bit annoyed every time we had to be told things over and over. What's the point of the name and attack title cards if the characters are going to shout/tell us anyways? What's the reason for the "no shit" infodump in the corner that started in ep. 25? How many times do we need to know who the MC is?

The next big issue, if not the biggest, was the excessive fluff that surrounds this show. Do we really need a recap of info we already know for the first 28 episodes? I think this was done to make up for the lack of a ED (which I must rather have), but that time could have been used in other important scenes. Do we really need long DigiXros poses? The beauty of evolution in past shows was that it was short and sweet, but honestly I blame Tamers for starting this trend. I mean, at least, Tamers had an excuse why they did it, but I much rather have the Digimon just start their DigiXros rather than see Taiki/Nene/Kiriha do some a long pose beforehand. More fluff that wastes time better used elsewhere.

The characters are as developed as cardboard with each having one quirk and only one. The development of the characters are as shallow as puddles, even Nene. The digimon having more personality was nice, but it was at the expense of the humans. Zenjirou and Akari? Mostly worthless. Nene? Worthless outside of X5 (why not just give Taiki the digimon and spare us). Kiriha? Mostly pointless past being a "rival" (quite obvious the writer(s) didn't know what that meant).

The most of the fights are garbage. The storyline, while not new (Frontier/Savers did similar things) had potential, but never got past its' simple outline of "head to a zone, defeat boss, repeat". They bring back things for nostalgia then proceed to treat them like trash.

tl;dr This show had cool ideas, but not enough time is given to develop them into anything resembling good. The ideas in these first 30 episodes could have easily be expanded to cover the last 24, but it's obvious they're going for quantity over quality. It seems like Xros Wars and Toei learned nothing from Adventure 02. Toei needs to work on its' cash grab mentality; it's killing their anime.
