Mooore Digimon Frontier thoughts
30 - Soar! The Warrior of Darkness, Velgmon -OOOH? Is this a Darkness Beast Spirit?! -The kids are looking for Koji. Junpei laments that Koji is always going off on his own… I mean, this time it was kind of the huge explosion that blasted him away dude haha -First half of the episode is mostly a confrontation between Duskmon and Beowulfmon. It actually had a really sad and futile feel to it. -Cherubimon get up to naughtiness and turns Not-Koji into Velgmon with the Darkness Beast Spirit. I THINk I've seen Velgmon before but don't know where. Might just be whilst cruising through Wikimon one time. -So Velgmon is actually super strong and terrifying! Interesting how he attacks Cherubimon('s shadow) after evolving. I guess even being an evil manipulative angel boss man can't override the Beast Spirit Crazies. -Zone Deleter was a cool attack. Nice to see how close Koji genuinely was to absolute annihilation. The stakes really have been upped since Duskmon's introduction. -Sidenote, Patamon has just been born but still has more sense than the rest of the gang, lol. I thought it was cute though. Tunnel your way out! -Ophanimon comes to save the day! …via Koji's Digivice, of course. Velgmon remembers some of his human past… AND WE FINALLY GET THE NAME DROP. So he's Koichi!! And he IS Koji's brother! Which is not surprising but I like the build up to this so far. What's their deal?! Maybe they're twins separated at birth? Or Koji's father had an affair or something?? That'd be an interesting sibling story for Digimon to tackle. Tell me your secrets, show. haha -I really like the song that played during Koichi's flashback. Gave some chill but sombre vibes.
31 - The Trailmon Graveyard - Sleeping in Darkness -All right, everybody reunites! …and Koji charges off again haha. Takuya follows him. -Also the moment where Junpei says "the nosy guy gets killed first in the horror manga!" and the artstyle changes to a semi-realistic manga was super funny -Junpei reaffirm he wants to be useful, that there's something he's able to do even if he doesn't have the Super Cool Shiny Evolution. It's nice the other kids don't mope or anything, they get on with it. -Unfortunately there's nothing around haha, but we get to the episode's namesake and… damn, that's really sad. The thought of any living thing just going somewhere knowing it's going to die is sad. -Old Man Angler freaks out when prompted about the Venus Rose. DUN DUN DUN. I then actually took a break here to get some snacks and a drink haha. Adds to the suspense!! -Holy crap this episode was a rollercoaster. Just the concept of a Trailmon graveyard was super sad, then we meet a Trailmon who's dying. The kids help him out with clever uses of their abilities and there's some wholesomeness as they take care of the Old Man Trail… THEN THE DEATH SCENE. Holy moly. Genuinely heartbreaking and scary to behold. -AND THEN -omg it was so funny -The kids so pissed off they go full Beast evolution haha -But then we finish off with the heading onwards with new, important info!! -Great episode. I want to say it was nice having a lighter-hearted episode after the Velgmon stuff, but honestly even half this episode was pretty heavy and dark. People love saying Tamers is the dark and edgy Digimon series but Frontier is honestly giving it a hard run for its money. -19 episodes left… can I knock them out in a single day?! I mean timewise sure but I dunno if I have the emotional energy to do that lol
32 - The Revealed Past! Duskmon's Secret -OOOOH JUICY TITLE -OOOOH JUICY EPISODE haha -feels like a lot happened this episode! -Cherubimon is becoming a more active agent in the story which is nice. With so many episodes still left though I'm wondering THINGS haha. Being a Digimon anime, Cherubimon probably isn't the ULTIMATE evil this series, but does that mean there's a greater evil that corrupted it? Maybe Ophanimon isn't as good as she seems? Or something else entirely!! Anyway I'm getting ahead of myself hehehe I'm just intrigued and excited -The rest of the gang once again decide sitting around doing nothing is useless so get off their butts -Also I love how Patamon flies--he's not a confident flyer yet and sometimes does the struggling little air-waddle-swim thing, it's cute and a nice touch. I mentioned in an earlier post about how cool a slice of life Digimon anime would be (set in the Digital World, Digimon characters only) and exploring how evolution affects youre growth and abilities in life would be really cool. I HAD TO STOP MYSELF from rambling about it. lol I should just write a rant/conceptual bible for the idea later -Duskmon directly confronts Koji with the truth which is nice. Feels like it gives him more actual involement in what's going on rather than just making Koji state the obvious or Cherubimon show up and force the truth out. Koichi want to confront this reality himself, for his own sake. (even if it is for "evil" reasons right now) -speaking of evil, HOLY CRAP. Did Koji's dad seriously tell Koji his mother was straight-up DEAD?! That's genuinely such a horrible, evil thing to do to a kid… This storyline is some Shakespearean shit haha. -Patamon's helpless Air Shots against Velgmon omg my sweet baby TT____TT -Takuya's little flashback was very sweet. -Takuya saves the day!! Or he saves Koji, at least. Nice to see the Double Spirits fight side by side finally! The Darkness Spirits are obtained. Koji's little Digicode Scan thing takes on so much more meaning suddenly haha. Koichi is finally free of Cherubimon's command… (I presume haha)
33 - The New Warrior of Darkness! Lowemon and KaiserLeomon -Intro is still the same. We still got Grottomon and the others in the BG near the end of the intro. Wonder if this'll ever change?? I don't mind if it doesn't but it's interesting since Duskmon is either gone or a good guy now and all the others are Digitama'd. -Some more background for Koichi. His mother works herself too hard, but refuses to take days off work sick because its inconvenient for others. GIRL PLEASE. Do NOT destroy yourself for work… -Nobody really knows how to approach the Koichi situation… I really appreciate how it turns out, though. Takuya goes to Koji with some thoughts and support and the others show up, and Koji accepts it and is gratefl for the help. FRIENDSHIP!! No drama, no anger, just an awkward situation thet friends help make better. YAY. -Koichi appears in the ad break cards!! AND A NEW DIGIMON!! -"Ladies and gentlemon we apologise for the delay but there is a giant fallen angel on the train tracks. Thank you for your patience." -BRUH why did you have to flick Old Man Angler away like that!! -Only darkness can destroy darkness. Koichi gets his Spirits back, but the "true" darkness, eh. Lowemon is all right but KaiserLeomon looks awesome. I love the shot of him running down Cherubimon's Lightning Spear. An armoured/mechanical lion running along a lightning bolt held by a fallen angel? Digimon's metal AF lol -It was just some kind of illusory Cherubimon. Fortunate. I was worried then the build up to this confrontation was gonna have a super weak ending for a moment haha phew. -Koichi: I am going alone. Everybody else: lolnope. Haha deal with it Koichi you're part of a Digimon team now.
34 - Battle at the Venus Rose! The Plan to Rescue Ophanimon -Honestly Venus Rose just sounds like either a ship name or a night club lol I just love the image of Cherubimon drinking cocktails, bored out of his mind, whilst waiting for the kids to finally show up -Things really do feel like the endgame here, but there's still so many episodes. I'm so curious where this is going. -Love Tomoki subtley mentioning maybe Koichi knows something about the data that Cherubimon is absorbing and Junpei's just like OH YEAH HEY KOJI ASK HIM FOR US WOULD YOU lol -omg and Takuya being like "um actually we're not going" lol there were some great little moments for the characters during this one -Cherubimon speaks to Ophanimon, offering her a place in his "new Digital World". Again, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. We got Seraphimon blasted into an egg the first time we saw him haha. -Koichi gets to show off his moves fighting the two Phantomon. -Cool spiral staircase during the start of the second half. Then everything goes all freaky and Escher-esque. -GOATMON!! I've only ever seen it in Ghost Game but I like Goatmon. But mainly 'cause I just like goats generally haha. The shading and lighting on the close-ups of its bell ringing were really pretty. -Goatmon is a pal! t's nice there are allies waiting even this far into the dark continent haha. -Basically they meet Ophanimon and get a massive infodump! No unwelcome though. Everything just spelled out clearly and the stuff we already knew reiterated. I'd actually forgotten about Lucemon… An angel Digimon with both human and beast like forms. HMM. -The episode continues to hit hard and fast until the very last moment. We end with Cherubimon confident his true plan has come to fruition!! …time for a break haha. -bruh. bruh. Bokomon is Lucemon isn't he?? AHAHAHAHHAHA…… ha…

hi, uh, um - where do i even begin, um, okay so i just read cadaver.. and holy shit... HOLY SHIT (in a good way) I LOVED EVERY SINGLE PART OF IT??????? like okay first of all your writing is of course chef's kiss, top-notch, sugar, spice and everything nice ykwim the way it flows, so smooth and easy, and your words AAAAAAAAA i agree 100% with what clove has written.... cadaver brought me places to and back with all sorts of feelings! the loneliness and heartbreak of losing a loved one, fear with a sprinkle of want and longing to have them come back from the grave quite literally, and at the end i just can't comprehend it enough to put it into words??? the gut wrenching chest aching pain of being in the same state of losing your lover once again that you wouldn't doubt for a second that you'd go with him.. and be with him forever... NOT TO FORGET how you included little bits and details of the minho that mc knew and came to love, but also newer parts of him that can be scary and alien to his usual sweet persona! ugh i just- i love concepts like this where it's idk can i call it niche? not everyone is capable of writing this kind of au and it being so damn good too oh god i'll need a few business days to calm myself down hA i'll vanish now whoosh
mongnara
ALL OF THIS WHAT???
I don't even have words for how much i appreciate this amount of feedback love holy moly. I'm so glad everything stuck as well as your reactions tell me because i was skeptical on if things would make sense and if the emotions were there. but ALL OF THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY DUDE THANK YOU I ADORE YOU.
