Great show! Appreciate y’all’s knowledge and thoughts on Adventure 2020. Some podcasting tips: as a listener, it becomes hard to listen to y’all over time when you consistently and repetitively use “anyway, so” as the transition phrase from tangents back to the main discussion. Sometimes you don’t need to use that filler to go back to the topic. Just move on. Also, let your cohosts speak more. I find that the host keeps interrupting the cohosts, and it’s nice to hear what they have to say too
Hey-ya. GleamingGarmore here. I’m a long-time listener and I’ve come to tell you what you’re getting yourself into if you decide to listen. There’s three distinct eras of Lost In Translationmon: The Classic Era, The Audiobook Era, and The Modern Era. The Classic Era is the majority of the podcast’s backlog. The Podcast’s main host, May (a constant in all 3 Eras) guides their friend Jay (Who prior to the show was very much not a fan of digimon.) as they watch the Japanese and English dubs for every single season of digimon up through Xros Wars. The two have engaging banter back and forth. Having someone who has zero nostalgia for Digimon adds some perspective on it all. Just by discussing what does and does not work, they increased my appreciation for Digimon as a franchise. A lot is wrong with it but, it holds a lot of potential as well. Some of my favorite moments as a digimon fan come from listening to this era of the podcast and I return to it every few months. (Examples include: “Wouldn’t it be wild if Tamers was actually a universe reset by Vamdemon?” “Breath of Wyvern takes you to the moon” and truly coming to understand that Terriermon is ALWAYS inclined toward violence. Evolution just gives him the power to act and he would be unstoppable if he had a gun or knife.) I did not listen very much during the Audiobook Era. It wasn’t my cup of tea. But I CAN recommend it to anyone who is looking for audio translations of the Digimon Adventure novels. There are also a few solo episodes where May discusses things like Digimon Mobile games. I feel that May’s solo episodes are a bit more awkward because one of their strengths is bouncing off of others in conversation. (That’s no insult. I’m the same way.) The Modern Era of Lost In Translationmon begins with the release of Digimon Adventure (2020). May is joined by Stevie and Quinn from The Moncast to review every episode of the new series as they come out. The three of them interact very well with one another. You can tell they’re good friends. The fact that they’re reviewing an unfinished show means that you get to theorize along with them as well. (Also, Quinn helped me with my homework one time, which is neat)
I have been a fan of digimon for years, and hearing these two play off each other really is a blast. The jaded newcomer vs the nostalgia goggles veteran really is a fun contrast- and they manage to mostly keep it civil. Barring the odd justified outburst of despair over the madness and or laziness of THE SCRIPT.
Thank you so much for this podcast I just stared it and am excited for the long trek through. I am a long time fan and have always questioned the weird out of place lines. I really appreciate hearing the sub lines and learning that I was correct in feeling like things were out of place. I am a die hard dub fan but also agree with many points that you both have. I have some critics but as it is over there is no point. Thank you for dedicating the time, I tried several Digimon podcasts then settled on yours to dedicate my long drives to. I’m at episode 20 as a frame of reference.
