NEW SEASON OF DIGIMON! WHEEEEE
A lot of fans think that the seasons stopped being worth watching after season two. I, however, still love this show to pieces and totally one hundred percent plan on watching this through; I loved Data Savers, and there's no reason to shoot down this new series without giving it a look. And when I realized the first episode was already out today, you better believe I squee'd!

-So, the main character, Taiki. He's... well... I'm not convinced by him yet. He's a little bit too HERO, you know? A bleeding heart who keeps putting himself out there for other people, isn't selfish, and pushes himself to the point of collapsing for the sake of others... actually, considering the guys I like to RP, that's not all that bad. BUT the fact that he's also good at all the sports he tries, first time around? That's a bit annoying. At least they remembered to give him goggles this time.
-The Girl, Akari. She follows Taiki around, is spunky and is annoyed by how hard he pushes himself but supports him anyway. A Childhood Friend. I'm hoping there's more depth to her character.
-The Third Guy, though, is one I'm looking forward to seeing. Tsurugi. He's obvious comic relief fodder, having been introduced as the main character's RIVAL who the main character can't even remember the name of. But he tries to take himself serious anyway, it's just a little adorable in that derpy way.
-Here's the kicker: apparently, this season's got something to do with music. The characters keep their partner Digimon stored in their digivice stand-ins by recording their Melodies. Judging by the opening animation, it looks like the Main Digimon have headphones, too. I can get behind this.
-And Taiki's partner, Shoutmon? He insists he is "THE MAN WHO WILL BE KING" and he fights with a microphone. He's some sort of. EBA fusion with Luffy. And this entertains me endlessly.
-I am a little disappointed by the lack of using appropriate terms like "digivice" or "digivolution." I mean, that's like the backbone of Digimon essence!
-Also not yet sure how I feel about the fusion-type digivolving we got going on. An interesting idea, sure--we caught a glimpse of it back in season 2 with the DNA Digivolution--but I wonder how they'll execute it to keep it proper interesting? It's too early to see.

In summation, I'm not wholly convinced this is gonna be a great season, yet. But it's early, and it has a few things going for it to keep me entertained. Besides. MORE DIGIMANZ 8D
