There has been tremendous fan outcry over the new “despicably atrocious” character design for Digimon‘s upcoming continuation “Digimon Adventure Tri“, leading to the creation of a petition demanding that the new season have its character illustrations reverted to more resemble the Digimon Adventure of old.
The proposed changes that crazed fans are demanding, with the character’s eyes apparently being the most inexcusable issue:
The petition overall has received a rather meager level of support with about 2,000 total signatures, seemingly to doomed to join the near universal failure of online petitions to accomplish anything much at all.
I like the new one better, looks more matured.
I’m so surprised that this opinion is uncommon and looked down upon
“BUT MAH NOSTALGIAZ”
f♥♥k you and your nostalgia, man. People grow up, and so does animation. The new designs look beautiful and modern.
The new design looks almost as bad as the designs used for Durarara.
the new Durarara was indeed different, but it had it’s own charm. doesn’t bother me at all
Digimon Tri character design sure looks awful. It’s supposed to be a nostalgia trip but they messed it up. As far as I know they couldn’t even get all the voice actors on board for this.
Where does it say “it’s supposed to be a nostalgia trip”? A nostalgia trip would be to just watch the old show again, or maybe a remake of it. This isn’t a remake this takes place after the original stories. Of course they should look different! Only a blind otaku would be more interested in characters looking as cute/moe for a shonen style as they originally did rather than thinking logically and changing to reflect age and a new demographic.
Because it’s the continuation of a >10 years old series, duh. If this wasn’t supposed to be a nostalgia trip they should have just called the anime something else and made entirely new characters.
Maybe there’s more reason to continue a series, but the reason to continue it after over 10 friggin’ years sure as hell is to cash in on nostalgia.
Digimon adventure had a finale. it didnt needed a second season
You might as well say any sequel to anything serves to be a nostalgia trip for whatever preceded it then. There’s more reasons to continue a series than just making it the same thing again. Nostalgia is gonna be a part of it of course, but that’s not all there is to it. Any fan can still tell who everyone is in this art style anyways.
Who the hell honestly expects petitions to work nowadays?
I bet these same people would set up a business with an “honor system” in place.
They expect them to work because they do. It’s just the stupid things that never have a chance.
Name one partition that worked
You’re right, there aren’t any partitions that worked. They’re terrible ideas. Petitions have worked, tho – https://www.change.org/victories
