This show hardly gets any subs.
Idols mainly promoting apps... W.T.F
And they work for this L company... intriguing

her using a virtual D PAD and 2 buttons is a rather interesting also it gives more credibility to what Haru was doing so there's a concept behind, The "literally Naruto" sidekick will probably play music to assist his appmon and who knows what the Edgelord can do.
The conflict for Eri this episode was just so irrelevant, oh I won't apprealize Dokamon and the she quickly changes her mind with hardly any meaningful convincing done.
A bit too early for a backstory? We already know a lot about her in just her introduction, that's not good.
The way Dokamon ends his sentences is annoying.
That Dokamon and Gatchmon fusion was weird, they didn't really need to do it in his introduction.
Haru is the one who gets Dressmon? he has quite a collection, I expected Eri to get it.

I don't think explaining backstory earlier is a bad idea especially after battle. I mean, we only know how she got that applidrive and why she became an applidriver, so we expect to know more later, for example how her family condition, how she could eventually realized the L Corp behind the idol organization and what L Corp actually is, etc.

Bcos of the question asked by the applidrive is different per person that gets it, so we can finally know that applidrive seem questioning personal questions depending on whom it's targetting.

Also I think it's not that irrelevant by the conflict, we already knew that she's busy of becoming idol and she thought dokamon just annoyed her. It's even explained that dokamon is a noisy one that she seemed that it's troublesome. Also for the appliarizing, it's her first time without knowing anything so it's normal for her to be hesitated.

Tbh I like Dokamon, it's much different protag's monster than the generic "blue oni" trope, and then it seems go well with gatchmon, and this series just had subverted it.

Weird fusion? haha, I think it's not. After all, their attempt to promote the toys has been successful by this episode. What toys I meant? This one:

yeah you can change Gatchmon's hand part and use Dokamon's one into it.
You probably forget that this series is also partly a toy commercial show.

If we know too much about a character and if there isn't a bit of mystery they become stale and uninteresting but meh let's see how they handle her character.

Yeah but the way the conflict was resolved was underwhelming.

Yeah it's true that after all this is just a show promoting toys but I don't like the fusion, it's basically Dokamon's gloves on Gatchmon, that's just lazy and very minimalistic, is this really how a fusion between 2 MC mons should look? though it's the early stage, I can't imagine them pulling this shit in the advanced stages.
