But who knows? With the more recent DVD releases of tri., here's hoping a sub release of the numerous anime series won't be too far off. show that the English version of Digimon, much like its Japanese counterpart, is nowadays being marketed towards grown-up nostalgics rather than the original target audience of children, so that seems like even less of a reason to only allow English-speaking territories access to the watered-down dub. Us Digimon fans already know that the sequel to Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 got a new sequel called 'Digimon Adventure Tri' which is basically 6 movies (film series) with the first movie Saikai or Reunion released on November 21st 2015 and the second movie Ketsui or Determination on March 12th. Like, Toei, Bamco, Saban, or whoever's in charge clearly didn't see the Japanese version of the anime as something worth hiding (at least not before the streams were taken down), so why couldn't they have gotten a home release?Īlso, the English localizations of recent video games and the not-so-child-friendly dub of tri.

I guess the dub itself has too many edits that having dual audio wouldn't be worth it (although, I think some shows, like Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers, featured two-sided DVDs with the dub version on one side and the sub version on the other side, but most other heavily-edited shows, like Samurai Pizza Cats/Cat Ninden Teyandee! and Monster Rancher/Monster Farm, have separate dub and sub releases entirely), but what I find strange is that these releases were AFTER subs started to be legally available through various streaming services. The shows were later edited by Saban Entertainment in the US for the Fox Kids Saturday morning programming timeslot. Kinda curious as to why they released dub-only DVD sets of the Digimon series not too long ago. Digimon Adventure was a Japanese childrens animated series produced by Toei Animation in 1999, along with its sequel, Digimon Adventure Zero Two in 2000.
