Wow. Just... holy shit hahahahah

It's private now. I wonder how the fanbase in Japan is reacting to this.

...out of all the things I was expecting to learn today, this was not one of them. Disheartening in any case...

On the other hand, Ghost Game looks like it could be promising. Designs look a bit out there, but with Digimon I always consider that a plus.

Good to see that 02 didn't get completely shafted after all the OG show projects they did. Pretty interested in the movie.

Same on both Ghost Game and 02. Ghost Game's title makes me wonder if it will try to go more for that "Digimon as yokai" angle that Digimon Survive is supposed to be doing (if Survive ever actually comes out).

I reject the "salvation" of the religious right and the "salvation" of the woke left. Any who would wage war on either of these is my friend.

Oh don't get me wrong. While this does give me some...weird feelings since Tamers was always a very important show for me as a kid and it was my favorite even when I first watched it, I am also laughing his ass off at the whole situation. I mean, this is like a fucking Onion article, but IRL and somehow even weirder.
Also, when I think about it, for someone who was always as out there as Konaka (he did do Series Experiments Lain, after all), it isn't a huge leap in logic (at least for me) to think that he might have gone of the deep end at some point.
The thing I'm REALLY curious about though is how many people at Bandai (or whoever organized this) greenlighted this, or if it was a situation of only the voice cast seeing the script.

Wasn't Lain always about conspiracies and control? It's just that people get triggered when someone accuses that stuff of coming from the other side.

The Digimon TCG website have uploaded the Card List for the latest Booster Pack "Next Adventure" which despite the deceptive title is mostly a Frontier based set with a bit of Xros Wars and Chronicle thrown in.

Loving the new gimmicks such as the Frontier kids having Inheritable Skills like Digimon as well as Susanoomon being able to evolve from all Colours and be like "taste the rainbow!"

Don't do this me, don't give me hope...

Oh my god is it really happening

The latest TV guide confirms that Digimon Adventure: will wrap up with its final 67th episode on the 25th of September with "Digimon: Ghost Game" debuting the following week on the 3rd of October.

It's sad but as one door closes another opens I suppose. Hopefully GG will be just as good.

Speaking of Ghost Game, with less than a month to go the official website has updated with various details.

Key Art

The story takes place a bit into the future, where a new technology has been developed.
On social networking sites, there circulate rumors of mysterious phenomenon of unknown origin called "hologram ghosts."
First year junior high school student, Hiro Amanokawa, activates a mysterious device left by his father, known as a 'Digivice'.
When activated he can see unknown creatures that ordinary people can not see, "Digimon."
From the day he meets the Digimon "Gammamon," entrusted to him by his father, Hiro gets caught up in all kinds of bizarre phenomenon, such as the 'Mouth Stitching Man' who steals human time, and a 'Mummy Man' who wanders around at night and kidnaps people.
Hologram ghosts are right next to us, and out to get us.
From here on out, comes a story of the other side of the world that no one knew. Together with Gammamon and his friends, Hiro steps into the mysterious world where Digimon live.

[Reign]

Doing a Digimon as paranormal creatures angle is something I'm really interested in.

With less than two weeks to go before "Ghost Game" debuts on television, all the Partner Rookies plus their lower forms have been added to the official Digimon Reference Book which gives us their names, attributes and whatnot plus some new art.

On a completely different subject, it was to be expected but the Sistermon Noir card had to be censored for the Western release because "can't have those degenerate nuns amirite?" and so the card was redrawn with her "twin sister" Sistermon Ciel.

The World Tour continues it seems with Korea added to the list.

Digimon Survive officially delayed to 2022

Digimon Survive officially delayed to 2022

I was about to say "but we've known that for months", but I suppose the company's Fiscal Reports that stated that ages ago, while easily obtainable are not something the casual fan would bother seeking out.

Looks like the ol' phrase "a delayed game will be a good one" will really be tested this time.

[Skull]

Digimon wishes you a very happy Halloween~

On a completely different note, the Cardlist for Booster Set 08, "New Hero" has gone up on their website. This is a primarily "Adventure 02" focused one with finally introducing the "Armour" Types as well as Tamers from that show - including Wallace from the movie with his Golden Rapidmon. But also thrown in to fill out the Set is Hiro/Gammamon from "Ghost Game" and some more characters from "Chronicle X" such as Yuuji Misha and his X-Antibody partner Ryudamon.

Overall a pretty good Set methinks. Armours in particular look like they'll be pretty interesting to mess around with.

We have an update to the "Digimon Reference Book", turns out a familiar face in Ghost Game was in fact a brand new face...

Any resemblence to IRL courier services are a total coincidence I swear...

BlackTailmon UVER.



Level: Adult
Type: Demon Beast
Attribute: Virus

A form that Black Tailmon transformed into by absorbing large amounts of courier service data that flowed into the Digital World in recent years. Its mean personality has completely gone, and it devotedly and reliably delivers ordered packages, whatever the day. It is often seen delivering things while clinging onto the back of Pistmon, who it is on good terms with. The delivery bag on its back is capable of keeping anything warm or cool in their optimum state, and since it can only be opened and closed by Black Tailmon, it is safe even for confidential data.

As for Digimon that get in the way of its deliveries, it eliminates them with its Signature Moves "Neko Punch" and "Bakōnya", in which it hits them with the corner of its delivery bag that it swings down. Even though it deals great damage to the enemy with its "Bakōnya", the contents of the delivery bag are undamaged, so it is very durable.
