I will forever love and cherish this low quality pic
Rewatching the first few episodes of 02 in the sub makes me realize how much I fucking hate their dub voices š
In the sub Takeru's voice is very nice, I like it a lot and I cannot stand listening to Takeru's dubbed voice when rewatching a clip on YouTube of it, and I don't even like Takeru
Absolutely love Daisuke's subbed voice, his dubbed voice is okay but I absolutely hated how they trashed his character in the dub
Iori had a cute voice and fitted how he was the youngest there instead of the dubbed version where it sounded very forced to sound like a young kid and failing at it, it sounded as if he constantly had smoke in his throat in the dub
Miyako, I have mixed feelings but I already like her voice better than I did in the dub, I actually hated how they handled her character in the dub so hopefully the sub will give me something to enjoy about Miyako
Also have mixed feelings for Hikari since I don't like what they did with her in 02(in my opinion she was better in Adventure) but her voice is cute
Ken(or the Kaiser in this case since I haven't gotten far enough to get to the normal Ken), I really liked it but imma wait to see if I still like it or nah cause Iām feeling indecisive if I like it or not rn
Also as an honorable mention, absolutely LOVED Tailmon's voice, it really gave off a wise mature mentor vibe to it which really fits Tailmon compared to the voice they gave Gatomon. It also really made sense considering what happened in her past, especially the abuse she went through with Vamdemon
While Tri may not have been a huge favorite of mine, I still found some things I liked about it
One of the things being the āvillainā, I really liked Meicoomon and I found it interesting that they used a dark evolution as a villain
The scene with Patamon and Takeru really just ripped my heart in half, it really stung when I watched it
And if the emotional scene between Patamon and Takeru wasnāt enough, the scene were Taichi and Daigo got separated from the others literally stomped on my already hurt heart, I literally just recovered from the scene with Patamon and Takeru and then they had to make Daigo sacrifice himself and even hinted that he died.
Listen, I will forever accept Takuya as the shortest of the group(Tomoki doesnāt count as heās younger than the rest) as canon and no one can stop me. The fucker is literally shorter than Izumi and while yes I know itās most likely because of animation errors and not knowing the scaling of the characters but I always have the fucking image of Takuya being shorter than Izumi and Kouji stuck in my head
Iām really indecisive about if I think āoh wow, I love this character so much they deserve nothing bad to happen to themā or āman I love this character so much, I wanna hurt them :]ā about my favorite character(s)
I just wanna talk about the friendship dynamic of the 02 gang in both dub and sub
When I first watched it in the dub I found it odd how their friendship was not really much of a friendship, it felt odd how they exaggerated their personalities and even trash Daisuke for no reason, to be honest their friendship didnāt even feel like a friendship. In all honesty I felt like the only one who actually liked Daisuke for who he was in the dub was Ken :/
But the sub, it felt like an actual friendship, especially with the small banter here and there but not over the top like the dub and they actually got along nicely with one another. The ālove triangleā between Daisuke, Takeru and Hikari felt more ambiguous and it wasnāt both Takeru and Hikari being jerks about Daisukeās feelings like how the dub made them, it felt refreshing to see after having the disappointment of watching the 02 dub.
Okay so, I rewatched Frontier again, and this rewatch made me realize how fucked up these kids situations were.
Something that I noticed in this rewatch was how much they managed to still act like kids despite the shit happening around them, in every other season I can understand since it was just the normal āoh save the world!ā thing, but in Frontier they literally witness the world around them that they start to consider as their second home literally get absorbed and destroyed. How are they still possibly okay!?
I will never forgive the dub for making Kouji a rude asshole
Heās just awkward and didnāt know how to communicate with the others so his behavior came off as rude towards them, stop misunderstanding his character šš
Every time I see a Poyomon I get Cyber Sleuth flashbacks
God why was that Poyomon so god damn strong fdrehhwtseghdthus
