Social & Kenji Watanabe Adventure: Episode 64 Art, Vital Bracelet Art, Exhibition & Ani-Comic in China, Reference Book Update, & More!

[MarcFBR]

Bigger batch of stuff for the weekend than we have seen lately!

After Digimon Adventure: episode 64 aired, Digimon Web put up social art of Seraphimon and Ophanimon, who are finally evolved to in the new episode. The attached message:

Thanks for watching episode 64 The Angels' Determination
Patamon & Tailmon have evolved into their ultimates Seraphimon & Ophanimon!
Two glorious holy angels appear
And the special moves were pretty cool too!

Stay tuned for episode 65, The Great Catastrophe, Negamon️

And new art from Kenji Watanabe!

The art shows off Ophanimon & Seraphimon from the new episode with some really nice detailing, lighting, and even camera effects. The attached message:

Seraphi & Ophani, it's not easy to draw these two characters.

Then a bit more social art...

​

As they did awhile back, new artwork of Pulsemon traveling through the digital world to celebrate Dim Card releases! The artwork Digimon Web posted this time is to celebrate the release of Nu Metal Empire and Hermit in the Jungle.



We also got a reference book update earlier this week...

ModokiBetamon
DoKunemon
Raijinmon
Raidenmon

Also a product preview...

Then we have a few different things from China thanks to users (1) (2) there sharing images and info...

​

The first volume of the Digimon Adventure: ani-comic has gotten a collected release. This comic is made from screenshots of the anime and has been published in Lucky magazine. The first volume also comes with Tamer's Battle Pack 7 as a bonus item. It costs 38 HKD, which is a bit under $5.



And then we finish with a bit more fun from China...

The Digimon Exhibition (2) will be opening later this month in Shanghai.

It will take place at: 3rd floor, Tianyu Tower, Yuyuan Mall, Shanghai. 125 Old School Chang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai.
Itt will be open from September 20th through December 13th.



A giant Agumon is sitting there to welcome guests for when the event begins. Interestingly, the key art uses the Digimon Parade character art, but it's a version with the kids in their standard Adventure outfits instead of what they wear in Adventure:.


A few image previews/renders showing off the plans for the exhibition...

We don't have the full list of what is showing up, but we know a decent bit:
An 800 meter exhibition area featuring images, posters, products, animation scenes, & more featuring a bunch of anime related content from the history of the franchise.
A 1:1 scale train car for photos.
Exclusive products including a card, poster, and a sticker set.


There is also a small video promo showing them setting up the Agumon. It isn't embeddable on the site, but you can find it here.




A nice selection of art, plus some fun previews. Been awhile since there was a big batch.

Huh, what prompted this? I'm very happy to see these five get profiles, especially the two World recolors, but was there an impetus for it or just a random act of DRB?

 

[RyummaSama]

So excited about the new DRB updates, I've been waiting for PileVolcamon to be added for ages.

Yeah, it's presumably one of the more 'random' updates we've gotten. Unrelated to the anime, games, TCG or otherwise. It seems like the goal is to quickly add the remaining Digimon without a profile, starting with the older designs. Most of which already have art and somewhat of a profile in a different form of media. The easy pickings, so to say.

It will be interesting to see which selection will be next.

Finally. Now we have all the megas. ...Anyone remember how many episodes we have? I need to plan for the last ep. Like the Pulsemon art. Fun. And cool stuff in China.

DoKunemon, PileVolcamon, and ModokiBetamon did get cards this year, and DoKunemon was in some of the recent episodes in the background. Maybe Raidenmon and the others will get cards in the next set

They have been a part of content and other kinds of media for years, appearing in a lot of videogames, etc. It doesn't really seem to be tied to anything like that, it feels more like finishing things up. For example, Assaultmon has been featured in Digimon Collectors, Crusader and Cyber Sleuth, but has gotten his profile around 2 months ago. And no appearance in the Adventure 2020 anime, nor the most recent TCG.

The only pattern thus far with those 3 or so big updates, is the appearance of old Digimon which generally featured in plenty of places, but just didn't have a profile yet.

Raidenmon!!! That's such a great reference book update.

They're the entire reason I purchased a Neo Pendulum.
