Has anyone done an "Always an angel, never a god" edit with Takeru and Hikari because that'd be hype

These are the videos you could win if you entered that contest. (Don’t forget to have your entries in before December 31st 2001!) Those episode synopses are worth a read. They all seem to give Demidevimon a lot more credit for what happened.

It’s also not consistent as to name highlighting - just look at the entry for Sora’s Crest of Love, for example. Also in the previous one, Metal GREYMON.

The phrasing of the introductory paragraph here - talking about episodes you “may have missed” and advertising the novel concept of being able to watch your favourite episode “[sic] againand again”! - really shows how revolutionary it is nowadays to be able to watch whatever you want on-demand, either online or on DVDs. Owning actual videos of things was such a revolutionary thing to have, back in the day! I went through a phase of recording Pokemon episodes from the TV, for example. Weird.

I think we had Volume 1? I vaguely remember having the Biyomon episode too, but not the other two there. Maybe I’m thinking of that previous comic.

…several of those names are wrong.

Again, worth a read, if only for the sneaking suspicion that the people (person, let’s be real) writing this didn’t pay attention to what was actually revealed in each episode. But!

Gennai’s homeland???? His enemies??????

Did… did I not pay attention?

HAHAHA WELP.

And hey, let’s flick over to that Simpsons thing there! I especially like this:

Which was suppised to be a satirical thing to show that Krusty had endorsed so many dumb products tht he just recorded a low-effort stock footage thing to be shown on everything that his team wanted to mass produce.

Irony!

Anyway, the page of that Simpsons ad has since come out of the staple, but it’s the center page so it’s okay. What’s on the other side?

WHO THE FUCK IS THESE. WE’RE ON FILE ISLAND STILL.

Oh my god, read all of these. This page, these character descriptions, are what made me realise as a kid how little personality the Digimon themselves had. For example:

STRONG SENSE OF DUTY W H O M S T

Fun loving is such a useless descriptor. I love fun. Who doesn’t? My idea of fun is playing games and writing uselessly pedantic blog posts. My mum is fun loving too, only she likes English soap operas and hates fantasy. My grandma loves fun too, only her idea of fun is crosswords and crafting.

It appears more than once. Note that this exact description could also apply to Veemon, if you replaced the names.

“Armdillomon”, also known as “Dillomon” on that same page.

“A little snobbish” is the only one so far to actually only fit that particular Digimon, but it’s another use of “making sure his partner doesn’t get into trouble/nothing happens to them”, like Veemon up above.

Patamon also works hard to impress everyone, AGAIN just like Veemon up above! Come on, guys, I know you must have been paid about $1.50 to write these, but at least try.

It gets better over the page:

Oh hey, the Simpsons are back. (And how funny is it that this particular version of Ken is used? That’s hilarious.)

Literally the most descriptive of all of these, and yet still somehow underwhelming.

But the best one by far is:

Count the things that are wrong here! My favourite is Flamedragon.

(lmao it even acknowledges that this description is similar to Patamon’s!)

Ken thinks he's going to catch all Digimon?

How about catching those fists! 🤜💥
