NEWS: Digimon Monster Cast, Theme Singers Return for tri. Sequel

I think I wasn't even quite aware how bad you had it in that regard until the movie came out here. Because THAT was "dub-dubbed" from the American version, including the music. Really put a big bummer on that one.

With Digimon Adventure Tri next season what order should the Digimon series be watched in?Do I need to watch anything before watching Tri?

Well, Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 would be a good start...

That said, since Digimon is a kids show and the first two seasons are 15 years old, I'm guessing they'll make it pretty accessible to new viewers.

I'm hoping with the Blu-Ray release of Digimon we would get something of a re-dub and proper release like Viz did with Sailor Moon, but Saban is a really bad company given their work on Super Sentai and seem to be fine ignoring fans of the original.

And I do admit, and am a bit ashamed/embarrased about it, that after all these years, there is one thing about that 02 epilogue that I (or my inner/past 11-year old self) am still bitter about.

One of my biggest issues with the Digimon dub is the script. For when it aired, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Looking back, it was a kids show dub to a T. It hasn't aged well. There's a lot of pop culture references that really don't make sense anymore in the actual script due to when it was written.

Considering Zyuranger's original run was released by Shout, I think if people support that, it might show them that there is an audience for the uncut Sentai releases.

Don't be ashamed, there were a lot of things I did not agree with concerning the epilogue, mostly the pairings *cough*. I am curious though what that one thing is? I probably have more...

does it freak anyone else out how they all have the same proportions and hair now? The original show had such fun and cartoony proportions that made it always easy to tell who was who:

As dated as the dub is/was, I gotta give them props for at least somewhat acknowledging that the kids didn't live in the U.S? Hard to explain, but I appreciated they didn't just use U.S- related names for where they lived (like if they mentioned the kids lived in NYC/Los Angeles/ect.). Sure they did the same with a few of their actual names, but it did make sense and weren't too different from their JPN names (Matt /Yamato, Izzy/Izumi [last name, iirc], ect.) Granted, I am not sure why they changed Tai and Kari's last name in the dub, IIRC.

The image says that both Butter-Fly and brave heart will be new recordings. The version of Butter-Fly on the re-fly mini album is the original recording, though.

Oh? I had been looking for a tracklist but hadn't seen one up yet (nor mention on Wada Kouji's twitter--though I'm speaking to one of the Re-fly tweets). Is there a tracklist up yet then?

EDIT: And I knew the two songs were new recordings, I was using the wrong word when I was writing that post

iirc, most of the characters got the dub names as nicknames in the first episode. They kept the original names but used the nicknames as the primary names, if that makes sense. There was a few name changes though, like Tai's last name, changed Jo's name to Joe but that just might be a local thing, shortened Takeru to TK and Hikari to Kari.

02 got the most changes with Daisuke becoming Davis (but keeping the last name), Miyako becoming Yolei (again keeping the last name) and Iori becoming Cody (keeping the last name.) For the most part, they kept the last names the same outside of Yagami.

Digimon is one of my most disliked dub that isn't a straight up parody dub or a 4Kids dub, because the dialog and jokes every other line make it feel like a parody dub...

I actually like 02 a lot, though I'm still not sure why Davis was the leader and not TK (who took that role quite often anyway).
