Catching up on Ghost Game, episodes 43-49 Oh boy have I fallen behind, lmao oops

Quick note, since I do want to watch these episodes in one go without it taking forever I might try to keep the commentary to a minimum because. Commenting on shit takes time (since I need to pause, take a screenshot, crop it, save it, add it to the post, write some commentary... It slows things down)

43 - Red Eye

Man this episode is gonna be rough to anybody with a fear of eyes, huh

NO NO

NOT IN THE EYE

HHHHH

OHHH I DON’T LIKE THAT, I DON’T LIKE THAT A LOT

So what the fuck is Eyesmon really after? Just? Does he just want to see and know things for the sake of seeing and knowing? Having eyes on everything? Or is he looking for something in specific?

Emma what the fuck were you gonna do with those scissors 8V

You know there’s an Eyes of Nine joke to be made here somewhere

Yeah this episode was fine, nothing great, but not bad, just fine

44 - Rust

So we got shaking buildings, rusty water, limited edition items... Unknown Digimon is stealing shit for the kid in school who redistributes them or something? Anyway Espimon don’t be a dick and steal Gamma’s choco >:(

OH WE GOT TINY DEVA BUNNIES

Ah, so the monster of the week is Jellymon causing problems dfsghfdg

Tiny Antylamon are so fucking cute tho, and funny in comparison to the Lorge Antylamon from Tamers

That looks so much like a toy it’s so fucking funny (also, the design is interesting actually, like, would an egg shaped, round phone be easier for most Digimon to hold since their hands can be all sorts of funky?)

Oh the tiny bunnies are big bunnies now

This is definitely more of an action episode than anything and all things considdered, it was a nice change of pace! Again, it was a fine episode

Oh wow we still have a few minutes to go lol

OH THE ANTYLAMON WERE MAKING SHIT FOR HOKUTO?? Huh

45 - Ghost Newspaper

OH RYUDAMON’S BACK! That’s nice

Oh jesus the girl got ran over, oh god

OH THIS IS THE EPISODE WITH THE NOT-APPMON, RIGHT (although I’m really behind I haven’t really avoided the usual Twitter spoilers, so yes I did see all the Digimon who’re appearing in these episodes, although I kinda forgot most of them). And he’s voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, of course

Man Publimon looks so much like an Appmon lmao

We’re not done with this episode yet but this is definitely my least favorite I’ve watched so far, like, actually kinda boring

Oh shit, Publi straight up just... died. I mean, kind of earned, but, man, brutal

Yeah, meh episode at best. NEW ENDING THO! Cute!

46 - Queen’s Banquet

Oh man, Kotaro’s hallucinating, that’s bad, that’s rough, Hiro please notice, dude’s clearly not okay

Oh man the animation on the new flower Digimon is so excessively smooth

Jellymon, couldn’t you have gone with Ruri soshe wouldn’t have been alone

Oh no the Digi wants to vore Kotaro... time for Digitamamon 2.0

Oleamon, eh, that’s a lovely name

HOKUTO AGAIN... YOU ABSOLUTELY USELESS FUCK

I’m actually happy Oleamon isn’t Digitamamon 2.0, that’s fun and charming. This episode was fine once again

47 - Memory of Eternity

Oh this is the Nanomon episode, okay. Dude’s just... allowing Digimon to linger longer through human bodies?

LMAO

Man couldn’t they just go directly to fucking Mummymon and ask him for help?

OH THEY DID, FANTASTIC

Omg he has a lab coat now, that’s so fucking cute

Mummymon is so fucking cute I’m SO HAPPY he’s a reoccuring character

Oh man Nanomon is TINY

Oh man I was literally just wishing Mummymon would show up guns blazing AND LOOK WHOSE FUCKING HERE HELL YEAH

Oh man... poor Shadramon...

JKGHFJKHDFJKHDFG don’t scream that’s not polite to your doctor

OH UVER?? I mean yeah he’s there for the egg but also Nanomon?? And another letter to Hokuto, okay

48 - The White Bride

Ah this is the new Mushmon variant eh

Ah random Geremon...

Ah, Ryudamon is in this episode too

Is it weird that these Mushroom Digimon eat mushrooms?

I love this Geremon lmao LOOK AT ‘IM (and ah, this is why the Geremon was here, to be a lil helper, how nice)

Wait don’t tell me the Geremon is actually evil and behind this all, oh no

RYUDAMON EVOLVES??? RANDOM BUT COOL??

Chamblemon, eh

Limit Break!

Oh man these Chamblemon are STRONK

Why does this look like a fake sub screenshot lmao??

KIYO WHY ARE YOU EATING YOUR OWN SHROOMS?? Bro that’s really weird

GEREMON??? WHAT???

THAT?? I??? WHAT???

Good episode, uh, unsettling ending???

49 - The Crimson Harvest Festival

Aaand last episode for now, a Halloween episode! And Witchmon is here, how fun!

So Witchmon is pulling Vamdemon’s shit all over again

I wonder how Mummymon would feel seeing Hiro and Gammamon dressed up as mummies for Halloween lmao

So Witchmon wants a world for just witches... bro just go to Witchelny jdfhgdsfg

Oh she wants a castle? I mean valid but excessive

PUMPMON IS BACK! HOW?! HOW DID YOU COME BACK I MEAN I’M NOT COMPLAINING I’M HAPPY, IT’S A HALLOWEEN MIRACLE, BUT HOW

Please tell me we’re gonna see Pumpmon and get to know how he’s here, I’m gonna be really sad if he got blown away and we don’t see him again this episode

Okay we got to see him again, I’m happy

LORE BOMB??

WELL, I GUESS WE KNOW WHY GAMMAMON’S BEING STALKED.... Those are totally his former followers

God

Man, no explanation to how Pumpmon returned, that’s balls

That was a fine episode again, nothing great though, but man... that lore bomb

Next epI OH OH MEICRACKMON?? MEICRACKMON??? OH MY GOD???

10 (more) characters, 10 (more) fandoms

Heeey, thanks for tagging me @sanzoline! I wrote one of these a few years ago, but there are always other characters and fandoms to talk about, so yeah, let’s do it!

Forgive me for not just listing them, I must ramble and post gifs and the like, so under the cut to be polite!

There are a couple of themes to my choices here, one being “characters who I think deserve more love,” and the other being that I (still) like big ensemble casts and it’s REALLY HARD to pick favorites sometimes, but I did my best!

Digimon Frontier: Soooooo… I DO really like the trio of Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi, even through it a) sucks and b) is stupid that the writers decided they were the only ones that mattered in the second half of the series. But I’ve always thought Frontier was more likable for its potential rather than its execution on several matters anyway, and that is also going to inform what I’m about to say here as well. Guys, I really like Junpei Shibayama. This kid deserves more love.

Note that in no way do I condone everything JP does. But I think he has a really solid arc of growth and development, despite all of Frontier’s pacing and focus problems. He starts out deeply insecure (and with good reason! His social rejection at the hands of his classmates is utterly heartbreaking to watch when it comes up later) and more than a little pushy/entitled, with most (if not all) of his early behavior seeming to stem from his own misunderstandings of how to form meaningful bonds with people. But it’s something that he’s forced to confront as his time in the Digital World unfolds, and we start to see other sides of him emerge. He’s clever; funny; he has a big heart; a sense of justice; and a willingness to acknowledge many of his own failings, and even starts to address them. I like to think that he eventually becomes fully, genuinely respectful towards Izumi (though uh… every time a new piece of supporting Frontier media reveals he still has the same childish crush on her, I do kind of die a little bit inside...and I actually ship them together! Trust me, it’s. COMPLICATED.). But on the whole JP as a character has a lot of realized and unrealized potential, and while he’s not perfect, he’s still a great kid, inside and out. I’m rooting for ya, JP!

Appmon: OK, you’d think. YOU’D THINK that because I have a sideblog dedicated to him, Haru would be my favorite. But he’s not. And I actually love ALL of the kids, so you’d also think that this decision would be really difficult. But it’s not. My absolute favorite character in Appmon, and one of my favorite characters across all of Digimon(!!) is Yuujin Oozora.

(Side rant: I CAN'T BELIEVE I had to RECREATE THIS GIF from SCRATCH because Tumblr APPARENTLY FORGOT there are gifs of him out there, but I did that JUST for this SILLY POST. SUCH IS MY LOVE OF THIS BOY!!!!... but anyway, I digress.)

My love of Yuujin is meteoric. Yuujin is THE reason I both wanted to watch and stuck with Appmon, and his whole deal (including but not limited to subversion of the “guy who looks like the main character” trope) is still the most intriguing thing about the series, and why (to me), Appmon is such a standout season of Digimon. Plus his relationship with Offmon. And Offmon himself. And THEN when you factor in his relationship with Haru… that’s when I have to go lie down for a while. YUUUUUUJIIIIIIIN!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: One of my recent quarantine projects was to (finally!) watch the whole series, and since I can’t actually pick between any of the main four (Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles… er, well, no. Unlike JP, Xander’s “yikes” moments FAR outweigh his positive ones, so he’s out of the running. I *do* love Alyson Hannigan’s acting to death and will watch her in absolutely anything, BUT!!!!!), I’m going to pick someone who was NOT a part of the series from beginning to end because otherwise it's too hard!!! Ahem. While nothing in my mind can truly top Season 2, Season 5 comes really close, and a big part of that is Dawn. Controversial pick, but I’m going to go with Dawn Summers, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop me.

I LOVE how she was just Chibi-Usa’d into the plot-- and while yeah, she’s *technically* more of a plot device than a character (who, it seems, the writers had virtually NO idea what to do with after S5), I still like what she brings to the show, how effortlessly she fits into the story, and how she has unique relationships with ALL of the pre-established characters right from the get-go. Just… wow. REALLY good writing there. But Dawn: she’s the “bratty little sister,” she’s a young teen still trying to figure out her life, she just wants a normal life and opportunities to do Dumb Teen Stuff, but her proximity to Buffy really throws a wrench in that and hey, she has neither the calling of the Slayer nor the special powers to help her out :( Her presence gives both Buffy and Xander CROWNING character moments (the S5 finale and near the end of S7, respectively), and hey, Michelle Trachtenberg gets a fun dance number with a demon in the musical episode. Don’t hate; Dawn is great!

KiraKira PreCure A La Mode: I’ve only watched two Precure series, this one and Healin’ Good (see below). And while initially I was all about Akira (Great outfit! Dog theme! Chocolate! Little sister!) I actually found myself more intrigued by the cat ladies, Yukari and Aoi. I like that Yukari is kind of manipulative (she tricks Julio rather brilliantly, and became elected leader of the town's cats that one time??), but several of her focus episodes were about the will-she-won’t-she of leaving the group (because she’s soooo fickle!) and that got kind of old after a while—so, sorry Yukari, I’m going to go with Aoi Tategami on this one. She had my favorite transformation sequence, and her double life (wealthy but restricted lifestyle vs. the freedom of following her passions) is always a dynamic I enjoy. Her bandmates/band rivals were cool, plus her moments of friendship with Himari were so cute! Here's to you, lion girl!

Healin’ Good Precure: I! Like! All! The! Girls!!!! And how they interact together. This one IS really hard. But Hinata Hiramitsu is best girl. The catgirl wins again! :O I love her energy, she has some extremely relatable faults/focus episodes, and I like what we see of her family. Plus I love her outfit and transformation sequence the most! Nodoka, Chiyu, and Asumi are all GREAT, but yeah, it’s gotta be Natasha Hinata.

Laid-Back Camp: Rin Shima. Rin is a good good solo camping girl! I like her fashion and her scooter and her general vibe. Going to far-flung campsites in the middle of winter to take pictures of dogs, read books, and text with her friends? A bit too chilly for me, but I’m here to watch it!!

Final Fantasy VII: Cloud Strife. Man, I don’t even know what to say about Cloud. FFVII Original is my Favorite Game of All Time and I love the theme of identity, and how crucial it is to Cloud’s journey. His characterization changed slightly during the Compilation years, but I’m mostly OK with it (I’ve only seen Advent Children once and thought it was pretty “meh,” but maybe I should give it another try?). I love that he is an unreliable narrator. I love the insanity that is Wall Market. I love how much of an Awkward Dork he is. And I just want him to be OK. My most fervent hope that someday he can take a break from swords and motorcycles and go live a quiet life raising chocobos and snowboarding in the mountains because my goodness he deserves it!!

Special shoutout to all the girls, but especially YUFFIE!! Intergrade is coming and all of a sudden I’m sad I don’t have a PS5 :C

Princess Tutu: Ahiru. Gosh, Princess Tutu is a such a good show, and Ahiru is the biggest sweetie. All of the main four characters are so important to me for one reason or another and I *almost* went with Rue here, but Ahiru is just so pure and sweet and adorable and funny. Actual favorite magical girl heroine of all time maybe??

Spider-Man: Miles Morales. I’ve gotta be honest... I’ve never actually read/watched/played anything where Miles is a main character. But I’ve seen excerpts of those things and I already know he is Best Spider-Man. What a good kid!! More Miles, please!!!!

Muppets: Gonzo. He’s on his own wavelength, he’s an Artiste™, a Prince of Plumbers, and he loves chickens. “Jamboree” is a quintessential Gonzo Song and I've thought about it a lot as an adult on the long, winding path to embracing my own imaginative inner weirdo. Gonzo is Important To Me.

Appmon Ep1 Liveblog

For every app, there is a monster: Appli Monsters!

I’m watching Appmon! This is actually a rewatch, as I watched it for the first time back in August. But, I really liked the show, and have been kind of fixated on it since I first watched it... So I’m watching it again! So, as a warning, these liveblogs will contain mild spoilers b/c I’ll probably connect stuff that happens early in to stuff that happens later on.

I actually forgot how exactly Gatchmon and Haru met so this is a nice refresher. He really just tried to smush the app back into the phone, huh?

man Haru kinda starts out with a really weird complex with the whole “protagonist” and “side character” thing. I mean that’s part of the point but he really is fixated on it at first. I like how he’s both the sort to cower in fear after an app monster shows up in his house but also the sort to instantly pick up on where the plot is going

ah... Yujin is marked in a Dangerous Red Color from the beginning... I didn’t even notice the first time that Minerva was perposely separating him from Haru. really makes you wonder why Minerva decided to eventually give him an App Drive...

why is Gatchmon so huge while they’re at Haru’s house here. later on the Appmon are nothing but small when they’re stuck in chip form.

and also why does Gatchmon seem to know so much about App Drives and stuff right off the bat. did they look it up? after all, they were chasing information about Leviathan, so it’s possible that those searches led to information on App Drives. but why were they so sure that Haru was their buddy...

oh that’s ’ what was up with the bigness. it was a strength thing

ok the reason why Gatchmon was so sure about the buddy thing is because they specifically searched for a buddy. that makes sense. but why was Gatchmon seeking a buddy in the first place...? why does Gatchmon know so much...??

the og app drive has such a good design...

I think that the whole “look up how to defeat the enemy” thing that Gatchmon and Haru do at first is a really clever way to use an internet search ability — and, I really like how the two of them have to work together so that Gatchmon’s attacks and dodges are uninterrupted. it’s a bit of a shame that it’s utilized far less when the others join the team.

i also like how most of the solutions in the early episodes are just thinly-veiled internet safety tips

why does Gatchmon wait for Haru out on the street several hours later... I bet they got lost and was just wandering around until they found him again

good ol’ red eyes Yujin. so, he’s not in control of his actions or something when his eyes are red, which is why he has no idea about Appmon later even though here he’s staring at Haru and Gatchmon

out of all 4 endings this show has... Aoi Honoo Syndrome is absolutely the best. i mean, does any other ED have scenes of Haru and Gatchmon hanging out and having a good time exploring. i think not.

#and since i’m watching this on crunchyroll i finally have screencaps!#fiftytenpost #digimon #appmon #fiftytenlive #APM01
