Ugh, dang you, Xros Wars! Now I'm going to have to watch the new season, even if we do just get cameos. Even if we get just a glimpse of Tai, Matt, Takuya, Kouji, and Ryo, I'll be satisfied. I'm hoping they aren't referring to the digimon (though they can be there too) simply because we've already gotten those cameos, whether as DigiMemories or side characters.

Oh Digimon, I wish I knew how to quit you...

Maybe it's just me, but that one floating on the balloons kinda looks like a redesigned Impmon. I guess if spoiler[Damemon can be reborn for the new season so can Beelzebumon]. Having a new Gabumon certainly will make it interesting when some of the kids return in episodes.

Emerje

The one floating on the balloons is a Digimon like Gatomon/Tailmon. Could actually be Tailmon, or perhaps a variant as the Gabumon-like Digimon pictured is actually Psychemon, which is Gabumon with a different color variation x.x


Actually, guys, that Digimon is Opossummon. I knew right off the bat from where I collected the cards years ago. I don't know why they blacked him out though, it's not a new Digimon. =.= Looking forward to see what they do with him though.

One word comes to mind when I saw this news: NERDGASM!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy

I've always had a soft spot for Digimon ever since it aired back in 1999 when I was in Junior High. I've been big fan of the series ever since and I love all of the characters shown in each season now we get a moment where all of the leaders of last 5 seasons before Xros Wars are coming together! A fan's dream come true! I wonder that would work.

Either way, they already got my attention and I can't wait to see how it goes!

I should have kept up with this. Do they mean the human leads, or Agumon, V-mon, Guilmon, and I guess Agnimon? Anyone caught up, how would they take the past leads and put them here? They all in live in different universes.

Well considering the title Hunter Through Time, I wouldn't doubt they visit other Digimon universes. It's untelling what's going to happen!

I would love to see Xros Wars make it here, especially with this season. If done right we could see Digimon becoming popular, probably not as much as back in the day but it might catch on.

Cool, thanks! just looked it up on the Digimon Wiki (why didn't I do this first?) and got a good look at Dracumon, he's a rather creepy looking one, looking forward to seeing his design for the show.

Also just read that the title is translated to "The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time" (aren't two of the characters girls?). ANN rarely translates titles anymore. I guess that explains the cameos.

Xros Wars just got so much more epic. Even if it's just the goggleheads from each season, it will be entirely worth it to see them again.

Well, perhaps the new characters are "hunting" the protags of the previous series, which were all boys?

Gah, I'm gonna catch up on the show ASAP.

I will be ecstatic if any of the characters from Tamers appear. Long overdue, IMO.

I highly doubt it

Some test dubs have been made by William Winckler Prouductions, commisioned by Toei, to see if the series would be worth bringing over (which they say were met with positive reception) and they licensed "Digimon Fusion Battles" and "Digimon Xros Wars" a while ago for the US so I wouldn't "highly doubt" it comes over just....more of a being sceptical type of thing.

The whole "past generation main characters" returning thing makes me think of Kamen Rider Decade and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.....so...would this be the Digimon version of them?

In any case, all I want to know is if Ryo Akiyama will show up in this new season/series/whatever the heck it is. I know he wasn't a main character of an anime but he at least had those 4 wonderswan games.

You just made my day, mate.

The director of Tamers helmming this, along with the possibility of past heroes returning? I am SO on board.
