Hello again everyone. Well, I finally got around to watching Digimon Adventure Tri this evening. It's also the first time I ever tried watching anything on Crunchyroll (I know. I'm lame). Anyway, so far I like what they've got going. Of course I'm going to be saving any major judgments on the series until at least after their third act. It's hard to form a solid opinion on a series when you're only four episodes into it. Still, they've set up a lot of interesting stuff in Tri. They released a preview for the show's second act, and it looks like it's going to have a healthy dose of relationship drama. It also looks like four of the characters are going to turn evil (again, in one case). So I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what happens.
In any case, this pretty much means that the series of Digimon fanfics I've been doing on FanFiction.Net is now an AU. I've since reclassified the series as such on my profile page there, if anyone care. Of course at the time, how the heck was I supposed to know that they were going to do a dang sequel? At the time the franchise had become dormant and they had closed the book on the Digimon Adventure story years ago. I don't think anyone saw this revival coming. I'm not saying that Digimon Adventure Tri is a bad thing of course, all I'm saying is that it made my little fan fiction project seem meaningless and irrelevant. But in the end I guess it always was, to an extent. It's not like that anything that a humble fan fiction writer creates has any actual impact on any anime franchise.
Anyway, I think that wraps it up for this post. Before I sign off though, I have kind of a random question I want to ask everyone. Was anyone else totally creeped out by that puppy-monkey-baby commercial that ran during the Super Bowl?
