Yay Digimon! I love Digimon!I watched the dub growing up, and I think it still holds up well today compared to some other, older dubs. My husband and I need to watch the newest Digimon Adventure Tri installments from earlier this month. I love what we've gotten so far, it brings back so many memories~Honestly, had the games been a bit better, I'd likely be more of a Digimon girl than a Pokemon one. I've always preferred the Digimon anime and plot though! Even if I didn't watch all of the seasons. I may get around to watching what I missed one of these days.
Out of curiosity, did more people watch the Digimon dub or did they watch it with subtitles? I watched the subtitled version, as I watched when I was a bit older. I don't really have an issue with the dub though, it's pretty good, but I prefer watching the original usually.
Awwww, this many people still remember Digimon!?! You guys are so awesome!! Back in 1999, when Digimon first came to the USA, I fell in love with it from the very first aired ep. I became a major fan. In fact, that very same day I designed my own fan website based on made-up Digimon characters (which wasn't a thing that was really done back in 1999). My site quickly gained popularity and started the "FDD" (Fictional Digi-Destined) craze of that time. I've always been proud to have started that fanbase with my website about my dragon Digimon, Cunomon, and his human partner, Lexxy. In fact I used to cosplay as Lexxy at anime conventions with a giant plush of Cunomon I carried around, and sometimes I would get recognized by people who knew my website. My small 15 minutes of fame, as they say. The FDD fanbase at the time was so much fun. It inspired many young people to use their imagination to make their own characters, draw fanart, and write fanfics and share them by making websites about their own made-up adventures. This sounds like something that is pretty common now, but back then it was a new thing that you didn't see in a lot of other fandoms. We had a lot of fun reaching out and making friends with other fans online. My good friend Jenn Morton and her fan-made Digimon, Foximon, became really well known in the community as well. It was a lot like the pony community is today, bringing people together with art and stories!Sadly my Cunomon and Lexxy website isn't up anymore. It was hosted on some websites that don't exist now, like Topcities.com and Geocities. But I still have all the files... I really should put the pages back up just as an archive site, for nostalgia's sake! lol.Thanks for this thread. Brought back a lot of great memories for me! ^_^
After reading this thread I decided to buy Ken Ichijouji's D3 digivice off of eBay! After seeing him in Tri, I had too. I paid a hefty price for it but it was worth it! That auction killed my nerves lol. But childhood restored! After my old one go ran over its kinda a good feeling to see it again (knowing it isn't my original but still)I'll definitely have to post pictures when I get it.
