[Digimon] There are a lot of dark themes in Digimon, aren’t there?

“` FUTURE IS NOW DAWN H O R R O R A life form that consumes emotions DIGIMON BEATBREAK Digimon Beatbreak 2025.10 ON AIR “`

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

“Isn’t it good? It’s a monster…”

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s half virus and half vaccine.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

You’ve brought an amazing partner Digimon, haven’t you…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this one also following the Ghost Game route?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Chameleon?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

It might be a frog.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Please stop the Sunday morning time already.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

Well, it’s almost certainly within the framework of someone on the run (ex-goth).

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like the one-episode stories like in Ghost Game, but I also want them to develop the overarching storyline properly.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s give up on the new Digimon release as it has already been set in motion after six months of the GeGeGe no Kitaro masterpiece selection.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

What an amazing protagonist, just like in Yu-Gi-Oh!

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wish they would try making a Digimon anime in the late-night time slot.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

It feels like the current Pokémon is targeting a slightly older age group.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

I want to see a dark anime like Survivor where a lot of people die.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you could schedule this after “Datsuryoku Times,” it would be easier to commentate…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks like a gecko because of its hands.

Maybe Gekkoumon.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

From gecko to dragon type, huh?

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s more like dark and gloomy…

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Meow?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s incredibly tough for ordinary people.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m looking forward to it, but it’s hard to watch the Rider’s back live…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>19

Toei Bandai really did something amazing with the frame shift for the round cover.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

It seems that Bandai thinks more than anyone else that they want the riders to stop.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

The back of the rider is still alive with Takara Tomy works.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t just escape in a dress.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want the TV anime to be done in a late-night anime style without being overly conscious of appealing to children.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>23

The game isn’t selling, so we stopped targeting children (Super Kuro W). However, the anime is still selling broadcast rights in 100 countries, so there’s no need to raise the age group.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have no idea whether Digimon wants to target adults or sell to children.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

I want you to focus on a specific target around here for once.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>25

The TV anime has always been aimed at children, so what are you talking about?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

I don’t want you to overly be conscious of making it geared towards children.

Kids these days watch all sorts of anime.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

An adult and a child stretching up.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Making it oddly child-friendly won’t engage the kids.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

What is Wataru like now?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

The plastic model is targeted at ages 8 and up, yet the anime is aimed at preschoolers.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like broadcasting in 98 countries with Apmon.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The anime that targets an older age group are tri, LasEvo, and Beginning, but the characters of Saber, Crow, and Gossip have a higher mental age than those from these shows.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The temperature difference between overseas and Japan is amazing, isn’t it?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would be fine to have both for children and adults running parallel at the same time.

That’s where the strength of Digimon lies.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Aren’t they each doing it in TV and movies?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

So it’s a new release aimed at adults… I’m already a bit tired of the nostalgia route…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m getting tired of nostalgia-based content, so I want something new that can make a big impact.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

A nameless person speaks about today’s children…

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>38

The fact that you’re calling me a brat says it all.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t contradict yourself in two lines.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

It was no good.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s too geared towards children, won’t only infants and toddlers be interested?

Once you reach elementary school, you don’t really get into oddly child-focused anime anymore, do you?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

W-What are you saying…!?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the time they reach elementary school, children will start watching late-night anime like Jump anime, so they don’t benefit from shows that are obviously made for kids.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The incoherence of this Japanese is from someone who was stuck on Shinkalion.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you open the lid, it might actually be quite bright, just stylish.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When it comes to Digimon, it’s all about having cool evolutions! That’s the starting point!

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

In that case, let’s stop the overly comedic approach aimed at children.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re selling to toddlers, it’s better to be conscious of a children’s perspective, but if you’re selling to current elementary school students, a late-night anime style is also fine.

Even though more elementary school students are watching late-night anime, trying to cater to children is just embarrassing.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there are quite a few games recently that have content aimed at children and are somewhat dismissive.

The topics are heavy, but there are quite a few enjoyable works, aren’t there?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gosuge put a lot of effort into the horror depiction, and that was great.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

But you’re going to One Piece at midnight, right?

Take the Digimon with you too.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I am not sure what you mean.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think about how to differentiate from Pokémon,

Well, I think it will head in this direction.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the story of Gosuge was quite well balanced.

Personally, I found it a bit disappointing that the latter half of the development was somewhat ambiguous, and I preferred the regular evolution tracks.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Frontier has truly perfected its awareness for children.

Lose the sense of tension.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

I mean, just because they are children, it’s not right to set the level low.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t feel any disconnect from the direction established in the past regarding the thread image.

If the question is whether to focus on existing works or new ones, both are currently being developed well, so there’s no need to narrow it down to just one.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The thread image has a pretty good atmosphere, so I’m a little excited about it.

The protagonist’s virus species evolves like a fallen light, so I hope it just goes that way.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought that the setting of data (information) life forms as Digimon could be utilized in various ways because of the current era, but can I expect that kind of thing in the catchphrase?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being influenced by emotions reminds me a bit of the Sabers.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is also a reason that the sales dropped due to the darker story in Tamers, so it can’t be helped.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

Although it showed some promise in Tamers, it took a sharp decline from there, which is Frontier.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, the one that felt the most like it was for kids was Appmon, I guess.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

Not as much as the frontier.

The frontier is lowering the levels too much just because it’s for kids.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just dark; many of the original Digimon have troubled family situations.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

It’s tough to realize that we’re not blood related!

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why are you writing a document that sounds so much like an AI?

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s not really a series that is comical and aimed at children, to begin with…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

The amphibian-like protagonist Digimon feels new, but it seems like it will just evolve into a regular dragon.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

It seems like it would turn into a type of dragon with a long neck.

It feels like I’m in Yu-Gi-Oh.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought Appmon was for kids, but then I felt like BL started, and it turned out to be a yan-homo robot, so my impression keeps changing back and forth.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that Frontier has changed to a battle-focused format by abolishing the partnership system is good, but the win rate…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

The low win rate seems to be just a way of saying it’s because kids are playing, which is a fool’s errand.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, the selection of Gegege no Kitaro will be on Sunday mornings from October, right? But it seems like there might also be a late-night slot based on the vibe…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The frontier had interpersonal relationship issues due to the children’s mistakes, as there was too much focus on children.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not saying it’s dark, but games often have some really unpleasant developments, so I make sure to check the reviews before buying.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite the vivid color design, the story in DigiAd has always been gloomy, even up to 02.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s comical, but the gap between the seriousness and the heavy developments is so extreme that it feels like catching a cold…

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I want you to create something for adults, or rather, it’s about time to stop relying on adventure…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

What are you going to do by stopping?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

After watching today’s PV, I really want at least one production by Director Kakudou…

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Since there are four cours, there will be both comical scenes and heavy scenes.

The heavy scene is just seriously heavy…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are comedic scenes, heavy scenes, and tense scenes involving human relationships.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it wrong to equate children’s content with being comedic?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

I’m not sure what defines something as being for children, but I think Digimon has always been created with a focus on children.

Whether it goes in a good direction or a bad direction is a separate matter.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Digimon has always had a lot of gloomy elements since the Adventure era…

There are characters with complex family backgrounds shrouded in mystery.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I watched it in real-time back then, I thought Daisuke was just a silly, hot-blooded protagonist, but looking at it again, he’s extraordinarily well-developed as a person.

My older sister has quite a terrible personality!

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Digimon was an anime, huh?

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>94

What did you think it was instead?

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I think it’s impressive that new titles keep coming out despite not relying solely on adventure games, no matter what people say.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we’re talking about whether Digimon is aimed at children, then it definitely is, but if you ask whether it’s comedic, even Frontier isn’t really that comedic, right?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hadn’t been participating in Digimon cards for about three years, but now…

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s a good tendency that Gosuge is working on new releases.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

Wasn’t Kuro-Wo a new release?!

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

I didn’t think they would create a new work this quickly…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>101

I was surprised because I had been thinking it would take a few years.

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>105

Get it together, it’s been two years!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

Two years is relatively quick…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

I am purely happy that the new protagonist will continue with the new Digimon.

There are various new games being released, but basically, Agumon has always been prominently featured.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

The game for the older age group will be released soon.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

There aren’t many comedic works that have both a story and battles, to begin with.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Digimon is well-known among kids now.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

At least there seems to be enough to continue regularly airing new shows as children’s anime.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

It’s probably not content that you keep following since it moves slowly, but I think there are some kids who know about it.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of Digimon, it seems that those made for existing fans or aimed at adults often have a lot of disappointing projects.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope a new Digimon story will come out around October to match the anime.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the first place, the only unusual thing is that Adokoro is a remake, and everything else is new!

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t they doing quite a lot in various ways?

If we’re talking about works that are doing a lot of different things, it’s probably Gundam…

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Whether to call two years “a few years” varies from person to person.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has been two years, but to be honest, two years isn’t that long compared to previous times.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The development for adults should rely on adventure.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

In about 2 to 3 years, there’s always an anime coming out, like “Kurou’s Gottsuri.”

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

It had been about 6 years from XW to Apmon, right?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

It’s been a little over 3 years.
