On September 12, the official "Digimon" official announced the news of the new work "Digimon Ghost Game" on social media and released the latest PV, saying that the new work will be broadcast on October 3, 2021---
"Ghost Game" is about a near-future world, SNS circulates a strange rumor of a "holographic ghost" that does not know whether it is true or false, and the protagonist Tennohe Zhou can clearly see the Digimon with the help of the device left behind by Fu Qing, and get involved in the new Ghost Game adventure with the Digimon left by his father---
The anime will be produced by Toei, and the original project will still be led by Akiyuki Hongo, the creative team who is responsible for the Digimon series. In terms of voice actors, the protagonist Tennokawa Yu is played by Tamura Mushin, and his partner Gamma Beast is played by Miyuki Sawagi---
This is today's first completely original TV anime since Its "App Monster" began airing in 2016.
Digimon Adventure: A. Which began airing in April last year and is still airing, is a reset version of the first anime Digimon Adventure that aired in 1999. Although there are obvious differences between the two animations in terms of plot and appearance of Digimon, in essence, "Big Adventure: " is still the official emotional work---
As soon as the news of "Ghost Game" was announced, it triggered a fierce discussion among fans in the circle of digital series: the official finally opened the trick and did not sell feelings.
After all, in addition to "Big Adventure:", between 2015 and 2018, the sequel to the "Big Adventure" series was also officially launched, "Digimon Adventure Tri." (a total of 6 theatrical versions). The official frequent sales of feelings on the animation series have made some fans tired and ridiculed: "Taiyi and Yagu beasts are really tired, don't evolve anymore." ”---
Although fans are ridiculing, selling feelings is also an official helpless move, after all, this project, which has lasted for 24 years, has long lost its former vitality.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" >02</h1>
The Digimon series was born in 1997, when Japan was in the midst of a frenzied electronic pet boom for Takuma Kako, and in order to further broaden the market, Bandai launched a Digital Tyrannosaurus machine specifically for the male market---
(Whether it is the electronic pet design or the shape of the game console, Takuma Kaeko is biased towards a cute style, which is more popular in the female market)
With a series of marketing promotions of Bandai, digital tyrannosaurus machine gradually gained fame, in order to further promote the product, Bandai and Toei launched the first TV animation "Digimon Adventure" with the theme of Tyrannosaurus machine in 1999---
In order to distinguish it from the popular Pokémon of the time and similar themes, the official put a lot of effort into the plot and the design of the digimon: the exploration of bondage and friendship or family relations, the appearance of highly magical elements, the recoverable evolutionary route... With its novel design and true emotional disclosure, "The Great Adventure" received good ratings, and the digital tyrannosaurus machine was further promoted---
The success of "Big Adventure" allowed the official to see a wider market, so "Adventure 02" came out. In the play, the official added a new digital tyrannosaurus machine and evolution model, and some family problems and social problems were also explored more deeply.
Although the ending of 02 restricted fans' imagination of follow-up and caused dissatisfaction among some fans, 02 also achieved good results---
Perhaps because the ending of 02 has already told the audience that "Taiichi and Daisuke have finished their story", so in the third anime of the Digimon series, "King of the Beast Trainer", the worldview of the "Great Adventure" series is no longer continued, and the production team has also carried out a major blood change.
Despite this, "King of the Beast Trainer" still has a good reputation with its excellent plot and ideological core, and to this day, the work is still a god work of the untouched in the minds of many digital fans---
The follow-up "Frontline", "Rescue Team", "Fusion War", and "Applied Monsters" also did not continue the worldview of the previous works, and opened up more evolutionary models and stories.
Although this production policy has developed more possibilities, it has also increased the acceptance of fans and the acceptance threshold of ordinary audiences, and the ratings have gradually declined; while the rapid development of other game platforms has also impacted the market of Digital Tyrannosaurus machines, and finally the Digimon series has fallen into a trough that is difficult to break through---
In this context, the official had to move towards a more conservative and effective "selling feelings" route, so for a long time, the official continuously launched the 15th anniversary commemorative work, the 20th anniversary commemorative work, again and again the selected children led by Taiyi "please come out" to continue to ---
However, although the feelings are priceless, the official sells the feelings worse and worse. Whether it is the "Tri." series or "The Last Evolution", there have been polarizations in which passers-by and audiences themselves are moved, and digital fans are angry at the official---
It was not until this year that the official launched the original new TV animation "Ghost Game". On the bright side, this can be an official conscience discovery, but from another point of view, it may be a new attempt by the official to choose after being beaten in the face by capital after several years of continuous squeezing.
I just don't know if this new animation can escape the shackles of "feelings" and pull back the popularity of the "Digimon" series in one fell swoop?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" >03</h1>
The anime has not yet aired, everything is unknown, but from the previous works and the current public information, I personally think that Ghost Game is unlikely to be completely out of touch---
Although most of the spin-offs except for the "Great Adventure" series are independent worldviews, we can often see familiar digimons active in it; in "Fusion Wars", the protagonists of the past generations have traveled directly to the world and solved the final boss with the protagonist of the game.
In the pv of "Ghost Game" and the structure of the protagonist team, the shadow of the previous game is more or less seen---
Of course, these arrangements do not mean that the official is just selling feelings, it is more likely to maintain the familiarity of the Digimon series and arouse the audience's interest in the new work. Therefore, the accurate statement is probably a tribute---
In addition, during this time, in addition to announcing the relevant news of "Ghost Game", the official is actually preparing a new movie of "Adventure 02", and it seems that the official is currently planning to take the conservative route of grasping both hands with original feelings.
As for the better results in the end, we as spectators can only wait and see.
