Content

This week we're joined by one of our top Patreon supporters, Devin, to discuss the short film that spawned two decades of Digimon media! Not only do we dig into the creation of digital pets, but we also cover the career of Mamoru Hosoda and how Digimon was a launching pad for his career. Then we chat about the surprisingly deep and violent first cartoon of the Digimon universe (with a couple of asides about the US localization of it) so listen along to this week's podcast from the digital world!

God bless the fact I ripped my old clam shell vhs of The Digimon Movie to digital years ago before it was lost

I watched Digimon seasons 1-3 with my kid recently, and every season has at least 1 moment that made my wife (who doesn't watch anime) absolutely bawl because the drama was so real and the kids emotions were so sad. Late season 1 when Matt was so in the depression hole and had to be bitten, season 2 when Ken's parents were apologizing to him for trying to make him his dead brother, and season 3 when this little girl character was lamenting that the world would be better if she didn't exist. Like damn these writers understood depression and got some real shit out of it. Edit: oh yeah fun thing for Toku fans. The orchestrated music in the tv series for Digimon is mostly repurposed from Saban's short lived (well 40 something episodes, but short lived compared to Power Rangers) Kamen Rider Black adaptation, Masked Rider.

I thought the yearbook controversy was actually not related to Angela Anaconda, but for another different yearbook animated short series airing around the same time. One Saturday Morning's Mrs Munger's Class, which they did pull off the air and replaced with a different similar photo-mation program once the lawsuit dropped. Unless there was one for AA but they were attempting a reboot recently with the same designs so I don't know if it affected AA as much as Mrs Munger.

I loved Digimon with all my heart and soul between the ages of 10 and 12 (although I never saw the movie, which, given what I've heard about the English version, means I probably dodged a Smash Mouth-branded bullet), and despite also being Pokemon fan at the time, I really appreciated the different approach it took, especially the ongoing story with an actual ending. Of course, I realize now that much like the Super Sentai shows in Japan, the reason Digimon had a serialized story with an ending was just so they could release a new line of toys with tie-in TV series every year, but it gave it its own flavour all the same. I haven't kept up much with Digimon outside that time, but I still enjoy going through the lists of the Digimon themselves and marvelling at some of the completely bonkers character designs there are. I've come to learn from interviews that some of the main inspirations for the design of Digimon were artists like Mike Mignola, Todd McFarlane, and Simon Bisley, which makes complete sense when you actually look at them. Still, making those guys' work the basis for your kids' franchise is really bizarre, in a good way. One thing about the dub that you didn't get to talk about was the sheer number of celebrity impressions they'd bring out for random characters. One of the main antagonists in the original series was an Elvis impersonator monkey, and there was also an old man tree who talked like Marlon Brando, among others. The one time I saw the dub of one of the much later series on TV, as soon as I heard a Digimon talking with a Christopher Walken voice, I thought to myself “Yes, this is the Digimon that I remember.”

loving the content guys!

Will you three stop saying "mon" so much?

I was born in 1995 and my earliest distinct memory of watching an anime was Digimon Adventure. first grade me loooved it

I'm not kidding when I say that Digimon was the first TV show to make kid-me realize that I liked having emotional character arcs in my cartoons alongside the battles. Which, in retrospect, helped prime me for a life of otakudom.

Digimon was a big guilty pleasure for me as a 13 year old. The character designs always reminded me less of final fantasy and more kingdom hearts, with their giant heads and stick arms. Great episode as always, guys.

Bless u devin for threatening to spend your precious slot on Laverne and Shirley

Ryan Hynes

Great episode on an all-time favourite short film of mine. One the series' that parented my obession with kaiju. I will not, however, abide by Angela Anaconda slander; she is a cool lesbian icon (no seriously look it up! her co-creators were the artists behind fido dido and Pepper-Ann)

I'd never heard of Angela Anaconda but I just looked it up, and now I'm scared.

I was a big fan of Digimon as a kid during the first two seasons. Learning about the short turnaround on the localization makes a lot of sense, in hindsight. I'm specifically reminded of an episode where a character finds a note, at which point his Digimon informs him "It's written in digi-code!" Even as an eleven-year-old I was savvy enough to recognize that the "digi-code" shown onscreen was just Japanese text.

My partner worked on Angela Anaconda. I asked him about the supposed character image plagiarism, and he said all the main character models were hired actors. Some of the costumes and props were sourced from the internet and background characters were often people around the office. But no lawsuits that he knows of. As the commentator above mentioned, I also thought of Mrs. Munger’s class when Bob mentioned the controversy!

I have never liked Digimon and until the moment of the podcast that explained how butchered the American version is, combining multiple unrelated movies, I was frankly disgusted with the YouTube version I watched as I had very little idea what the hell was happening and wished they would just SHUT UP and let the movie be quiet for a second. Whoever the hell was in charge of all those changes was a damn fool.
