Digimon Data Squad - Talk Up!

Saw episode one and liked it, a lot better than the previous seasons. Quinton Flynn for some reason reminds me of Michael Reisz and Vic Mignogna. Colleen's voice showed her "Sora" a little too much at times, but overall, I really like it. Lalamon's voice was a bit annoying, it seemed way too forced and couldn't get the natural high tone off. I loved Agumon's voice, and just like in the Japanese version, had no problems with a new actor being brought it. They're two different Agumon and thus should have different voices, especially due to the way they act. Satsuma, er, Sampson's voice didn't really bother me, it seems like the original in the "commander" like voice. The rest of the cast was fairly forgettable, but we haven't had many of them introduced, I can't wait to hear what Marcus' mom and sister sound like.

I did not like the opening, at all, Going, Gou'ing, My Soul! is better in every respect, music, the visuals don't spoil the crap out of you. Of course, One Star was my favorite piece of music from Savers.


I find it odd that out of most "kiddie dubs", Digimon is the one that usually has no problem keeping references to Japan.
people complained about the "employee" thing? Oh god, what wont they complain about. lol. :anime:
Stuff that probably wouldn't ruin the feel of the show in the long run?

I've never really liked Jeff Nimoy myself, he's the one that added in so many unnecessary jokes into the first four seasons that just seemed "off". Casts have always been great, but the editing usually blew, though it's been getting better since Tamers. Makes me wonder what kind of DVD releases this series will have.

And as just an idea to Grn, you should try watching whatever episode of the dub is new and then the sub of the same episode so you can see what both versions are like, if the later episodes are any indication, it will be a very different story.

As a whole, this episode was pretty good, I only noticed one real edit ("the kick") and it showed a good amount of violence for something on Toon Disney, makes me wonder what the later parts of the series will be like.
 
Did somebody put the actual opening on Youtube or something. I'd like to hear the new one but all I find are fanmade ones ^^;

That's the official opening with a crystal clear audio. I love it, but it's too short.

It sucks you cant enjoy it the same way I do. I dont want to say "screw you" because of it, though. But I always thought that the comedy and humor of the Digimon seasons was the charm that drew me in. Digimon made me laugh, and once I laughed, I let my barrier of cynicism and criticism down. After that I was able to actually appreciate the small stories and good action that Digimon had to offer. I was able to enjoy it more.

If Digimon did not have the same type of humor, I dont think I would have enjoyed it as much.

I just think, maybe you could try to enjoy the American Digimon as something different. You don't have to look at Ameri-Digi as something that has to be like it's Japanese version. You can enjoy both for different reasons.

I'm definitely going to watch subs later. I just want to enjoy the Dub first. I remember watching Digimon season 1 and 2 in sub long after watching dub. (Well I didnt watch all of it, I saw bits and pieces.) It was really different so it was almost seeing another story.

I'm just a big Digi fan. I really dont want to be the guy that says "this part of digimon sucks". There's not really many other shows on TV or that has been on TV where I can honestly say I loved all of it. I can't even say that about Sailor Moon thanks to Cloverway. Love everything about Sailormoon (sub and dub and toku) except for Cloverways dub. No matter how hard I try, I cant enjoy Serena's voice or their piss ass quality control on the audio and video.

But I dont want to get started on a Moonie rant

That's the thing, I enjoy comedy as well, but most of the comedy in the seasons that Nimoy wrote and directed (first two I believe) was just bad. To me there was nothing enjoyable about it and it would often ruin the feel of what's supposed to be an otherwise serious or touching moment.

This is the way Nimoy says he treats it and honestly, I don't like that treatment. Sure, it works for Sentai and the like, but anime I feel is different and when this approach is taking, rarely is it ever good, which is why I don't like it 90% of the time.

I enjoyed a lot of the Digimon dubs, but those were the things that Nimoy didn't work on, Tamers and Frontier. Not something I found in the originals, which is when I go back and watch the original two seasons, most of the time I think to myself "I liked this crap?", not so with the original versions and the season 3 and 4 dubs. That is how you keep the feeling of the original show and still give the dub its own unique style.

I love Digimon because it's the show that got me into downloading other anime and finding tokusatsu fansubs and I have really fond memories of most of the seasons, but the dubs that Nimoy worked on aren't that great, which is why I'm surprised at how well episode 1 was. I'm hoping he's improved over the years, I really want to be able to like this season's dub after liking the last two.
 
I haven't seen it yet.

As long as it doesn't turn out as horribly as 02 did, I'll be happy. I really can't take another twisted and convoluted plot spiced with Sorato-esque idiocy.

God... so awful I'm still feeling the sting.
 
See, this is why I stay away from fandom. People get crazy about the dumbest things.

At least the explanation for "DNA Charge!" makes more sense than what I previously thought. I like the original( better) and I like the dub. Looking forward to the second eps.
 
As I said before Jeff was one of the co-writers. He didn't work on it alone. If anything the other writers, such as co-writer Bob Buchholz, are also to blame for most of the corny jokes, which I think FoxKids wanted thrown in anyways. At anyrate as you can see Digimon Data Squad (at least so far) isn't as plagued by such issues. Besides I have to agree with GPG, if the situation really merits it, and it is actually funny, what's one with a offhand one-liner? As long as it isn't too frequent and doesn't harm the tone of the plot it sits fine with me.
 
the problem is 'DNA Charge' just doesn't sound that great...not as flowing as 'DIGISOUL CHARGE!'

But even if they kept it the same I don't think 'Digi Soul FULL CHARGE!' 'OVERDRIVE!' and 'BURST!' would sound as good without the awesomeness that is the Engrish accent :p

'DIGISOUL BURST-O!' sounds just way better XD
