So, with more and more word getting out about how a new Digimon Adventure series is about to be released featuring the original cast (both in terms of characters and vocals) from the first Digimon Adventure anime, I figured it's about time for me to get on board with my own thoughts on the matter. To start, let me just say that since this new series hasn't actually been released quite yet, I'm still cautiously optimistic about what this could mean for the franchise. In my opinion, more Digimon anime is always welcome along with any games and related merchandise that might bring. I have no complaints about the new art style. It's different, but as with everything else about the franchise, different isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've generally been open minded toward the new possibilities that each installment has brought to the fold and I won't be treating this new one any differently.
That being said, I do have my usual concerns regarding the fandom as a whole. Digimon is a hugely divisive fandom among its own fans, let alone the fans that have carried on the argument legacy over its similarities to Pokemon. As this new series is a direct sequel to the Digimon Adventure continuity it has already served as a reminder of the disdain many fans felt during the epilogue of Digimon Adventure Zero Two. And that's not even getting into the other continuities that also have their own devoted followings. As such, I plan to remain firmly on the sidelines regarding Digimon Adventure Tri until it has run its course. I don't know what to expect from this new series and I'm looking forward to seeing it unfold at its own pace. I've always loved Digimon, from the tiny pixel pet I raised on a key chain during the summer of 1997 and through each new series that has been released. Each has brought something new to the table and taken together has created a vast and wonderful multiverse with an exciting history rich with its own unique mythology. Digimon has been a fascinating ride thus far and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Review
No spoilers, just my honest thoughts on the movie as someone who has plenty of nostalgia for the classic Japanese Kaiju films because Godzilla has been a household name for me since I was a small child. I've grown up with a lot of love for these monsters and I've even done myself the service of watching as many of their respective movies as I could in both English localization format and in the original Japanese to really get a deeper appreciation of where these stories came from. Godzilla: King of the Monsters, like it's predecessor in 2014 is first and foremost a genuine Kaiju film. It might not appeal to the critics based on the criteri
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - Review
As some of you know, I'm a pretty huge fan of Digimon. I was real excited when I found out that Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth was going to be coming out in English. I mean, the last new Digimon game that was released in America was Digimon All-Star Rumble and, let's face it, it was an extremely unbalanced fighting game with a very underwhelming roster of playable digimon. Prior to that it was Digimon World Dawn & Dusk (Digimon Story Sunburst and Moonlight), Digimon World DS (Digimon Story), and Digimon World Data Squad (Digimon Savers: Another Mission). While I waited, hoping to see an English release of Digimon Story Lost Evolution and
Digimon Adventure Tri - Speculation Time - Part 2
Well then, now that the first film in the six-part Digimon Adventure Tri series has been officially released and a four-part OVA version is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, there's a whole lot more to speculate about. Naturally, this entry will contain spoilers for Digimon Adventure Tri - Reunion. So, if you're a fan of Digimon and you haven't checked it out already, you should definitely take the time to watch it. Be warned, however, as this is no longer the fun filled adventure you might remember from 1999. Things have taken a very dark turn right off the bat.
Fact: In the introduction sequence we are shown brief flashes of the
Digimon Adventure Tri - Speculation Time
Fact: Digimon Adventure Tri is going to be set in the year 2005/2006. This is based on Zero Two literally being set in 2002, with the final battle being staged sometime during the early new year of 2003. Technically, however, these dates are only applicable for the Japanese version of the series. In the dub of the second season the time skip was changed from 3 years to 4 years so that would mean, assuming Digimon: Digital Monsters Season 1 is still set during 1999 that it would instead be 2003/2004 during Season 2. This shouldn't have too much of an impact on the new series, but just keep in mind that if and when the dub rolls around ever
