No english subs on the blu-ray?

I like the sub a lot better than the dub, not just for shipping reasons, but it was better done overall.

I have only seen seasons 1-3 dubbed. Some of season 4 dubbed and some of season 5 subbed.

Besides these differences between Japanese & English versions......

- Removal of Violence, especially with guns and maybe censorship of cleavage?
- Differences of voices between casts
- English version i've heard tries to make it more funny with dialogue choices
- Name differences
- Music, some like the Japanese songs, some like the English songs.

Honestly i didn't include the relationship stuff because it doesn't seem like either really felt the need to establish relationships of matt and sora or sora and tai and i don't think a small hint in one or two episodes is enough. This is more of something created by fans.

So besides the above how else is Digimon really different in English than Japanese? Saying it is better just because isn't valid. And really i am open to watching season 1 for the 4th time but it will be in Japanese for the first time if there are some big differences but small differences doesn't really put one over the other.

And there's no animosity between Taichi, Yamato and Sora in canon. One of the things I really dig bout Yamato and Sora's relationship is (at least in the original), there isn't a ton of focus (and as a result, no drama) when they hook up. They're pretty much in the background, often together or interacting, but no one comments about their relationship, and Jun's flashback to it has no dialogue/narration. I like that sort of subtlety and how the series is still focusing on Oikawa/BlackWarGreymon/Dark Seed Children/Ken instead.

But the sub is better and most people would agree with me.

You list those changes like they aren't big deals when they are. The whole tone of the show is different. The sub is more mature (less kiddie) and has a lot more substance and depth to its plots. I think you should watch the sub yourself and see. I found it really different.

Taiora came across to me as nothing but a friendship and there was no "drama" at all. If you're waiting for "awkwardness" between Taichi, Sora and Yamato in the new series, it won't be there because it was never a thing in the original. The dub really upped the love triangle angle.

I agree, I like that there's not a ton of focus on it because there were more important aspects of the show to deal with. Yamato and Sora's relationship is referenced in small ways by some of the others though, where you know they're dating. What's really telling is that Taiora is never referenced at all by the other kids, only Sorato. None of the kids ever thought Taichi and Sora were going to end up together or anything. This is clear in the original, while it's not in the dub.

I've seen the uncut subbed version, and honestly it's done nothing for me. The difference in maturity is nowhere near as profound as people make it out to be. Sticking with Saban's dub.

I presume Saban is already preparing to get this in the US as well? I'd like to hope so.

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS! The only thing I hope is that they rewrite the ending and put Tai and Sora as a couple, I F^cking hated that they put Sora and Matt together, that is the only thing I would always hate about Digimon and that Kairi never ended up with neither TK and Davis.

I dislike Sorato and its my main turn off of this 02 sequel/retcon-sequel.

Here's hoping they keep the 02 stuff and build on plotholes and trash the epilogue altogether.

I'm not really a fan of Digimon (preferred Pokemon, not to start a conflict) but this forum is pretty surprising. Did the show really focus on romance that much? I mean in a thread about Digimon I was expecting people to mainly be talking about, well, the Digimon themselves. I've never seen the original (I've only seen xros/fusion) so I don't really know anything about it. Its not bad, it's just I didn't expect people's comments to focus a lot on the couples. Anyways I may check this out, provided it can also be watched standalone.
