the actual first 'movie' is only 21 minutes long, about the same as a regular episode, and serves more as a prequel to the series as whole than anything else. So the English 'Digimon: The Movie' is mostly just two movies stuck together with an extra bit at the beginning, I guess?

I remember the English version being... inconsistent in a lot of ways. Fun at the time, since I didn't know any better, but looking back i can't imagine wanting to rewatch the og dubbed version. Soundtrack was good, at least.

I love it but you might have had to have seen it as a child for it to really have taken hold of you lol.

The best summary of what the movie is like and its vibes is honestly just looking at the soundtrack, which has Smash Mouth, Fatboy Slim, Len, Barenaked Ladies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones on it.

ohhhh i didn't realize they were redubbing them! I was very very fond of the digimon movie english dub back in the day but I've always kind of wanted to see the actual story (but with the voice actors I know)

if only they would release a version with the corrected dub but keeping the ska-ass soundtrack.....

best thing I've ever written

thank you devtesla for writing dungeon meshi

i'm gonna invoke something horrible here so i'm sorry in advance: it hits the same note as the best parts of harry potter. i think it's the worldbuilding: you've written a world, with all of the little tiny details, creating a vivid place such that you want to put yourself in the characters' shoes. kui ryoko arguably did it better than the risible person responsible for harry potter, obviously without all of the baggage so that's very nice.

(in fact you could argue that kui ryoko has the inverse of "baggage" with regard to ~that topic~ specifically)

i felt so, so betrayed by charlotte (and the 2016 special was. all i actually remember aside from the bad feelings is nao tomori yelling at a child on someone's front yard, and) that i only have unkind words about it

but folks seem to have fond thoughts about it, don't they. i can't really begrudge that. that show really, really, really could've been something, no? aaaaagh

"bravely you" by lia is just excellent though
