A ver, si eres fan de digimon te va a gustar. Pero si es verdad que la historia es muy básica, van muy a saco. Que si, que es para promocionar y tal, me esperaba un poquiiillo más. Además que los diseños son un poco 🫠 (Gomamon, de mis fav parece que tenga una enfermedad o algo xD).
Ojo que hay que tener en cuenta que es el primer manga largo de Digimon, de 1998. Pero eso, que si eres fan de digimon, no te va a encantar, pero te va a gustar ya sea por la nostalgia. Veremos a ver como avanza, en el original fueron 9 tomos, de momento hay 2 en español y el 3 sale a finales de enero.
Empieza ya muy a saco y no parece haber descanso nunca. Buen material para promocionar los Digital Monster (tamagotchi), pero la historia es basiquísima. El dibujo es algo feo para mi gusto.
La edición correcta, sin más. Sin sobrecubierta pero a color, y la traducción tiene cosas buenas y cosas malas. Para haberme hecho tanta ilusión cuando lo anunciaron, no ha sido nada del otro mundo. Pero está bien para tener si eres fan de Digimon.
Acostumbrado al «multiverso Digimon» del anime, que cada temporada nos ofrece una historia distinta, no ha sido difícil entrar en este con esa curiosa versión de Taichi Yagami y su original compañero nuevo en el Digimundo. La historia es otra «senda del héroe» pero en clave de humor, de hecho creo que el mayor problema que tiene es que tiene un ritmo demasiado rápido como para paladearlo a gusto.
Por otro lado, sobre la edición en español, me llama la atención el baile de términos que hay a veces, como con los nombres de los niveles, o incluso el uso de «tamer», «entrenador» o «domador» en lugar de unificarlos en uno.
Es muy diferente el anime y precisamente por eso también es genial. Es un primer tomo muy divertido de las aventuras de Zero y Taichi. ¡Estoy deseando leer el segundo tomo!
Un tono más “infantil” con respecto al anime pero con otro enfoque mucho más interesante. Sin duda este Tai con “Zero” tiene más carisma que nuestro querido Tai con su Agumon. Habrá que continuarlo
Somewhat disappointed in myself that it took me so long to start reading V-Tamer despite having been into Digimon since the anime was new in America. I've more or less always considered myself a big fan of Digimon, but I've not even seen the entirety of most shows, nor never yet owned one of the virtual pets, nor have I finished any of the original PlayStation games. After years of passively waiting, Digimon Survive finally released, and revitalized my interest in the franchise, so I started reading this manga while debating whether I should grab the twentieth anniversary V-pets, or spring for the Vital Bracelet, or spring further for the Ver.20 Digivice (which I meant to preorder from P-Bandai when it was newer, but missed the cut-off window...).
V-Tamer seems to be largely a promotional tie-in for the "Pendulum" series of Digital Monster V-pets. Our hero, Yagami Taichi (not to be confused with the similar-looking, similarly-named hero of the later Adventure anime), has expert familiarity with the creatures of the original V-pets, but things become a bit trickier for him after he and his partner, Zeromaru the V-dramon, are transported to Folder Continent in the Digital World (Zero is apparently an anomaly in the manga's real world, though V-dramon happens to be one of the available creatures in the Pendulum devices of our real world). Lord HolyAngemon (whose appearance will later become "Priest Mode" for future HolyAngemon) uses his power to bring Taichi and Zero into the Digital World, where he asks them to help defeat Demon, whose power threatens Folder Continent's existence. Unfortunately for our heroes, Perfect-level Digimon are more common in Folder Continent (and in the Pendulum devices Taichi doesn't own...) than on File Island (home to the monster of the earlier V-pet releases), but... this doesn't really matter because Zero draws strength from his bond with Taichi, and this volume has them defeat two Perfects without much struggle.
This manga acts as an interesting counterpoint to the lore of the later anime series. Notably, humans like Taichi are already aware of Digimon because the V-pets are toys in their real world, whereas there is no such thing in (most of) the anime (until Tamers) so the dynamic between Digimon and Erabareshi Kodomo-tachi is very different. As the Digital World in this manga is based on how the V-pets work, Digimon can just train hard to evolve into Perfect-level, without the need of certain McGuffins (e.g. the Crests) to Super Evolve, as in the anime. We do not (yet) see Zero evolve, but the presence of Triceramon, MarineDevimon, Etemon, and Vamdemon is enough to hint toward the possibility of AeroV-dramon, with Ultimate-level Demon and his plan to awaken the Super Ultimate egg suggesting even further transformations. We also get the Digivice 01, which functions like the real-world V-pets, just mounted on Taichi's wrist, allowing him to transmit data to feed his Digi-friends, or, more importantly, view stats of opposing Digimon (which becomes more the role of Koushirou's laptop in Adventure, Digivices being little more than a tool for Digimon partners' evolution).
To further stress the focus on Pendulum-era Digimon, the manga is a little "unfair" to the original dudes (but at least they get to shine a bit in the later anime). Etemon is a major villain, who comes from the first set of V-pets (3.0, if I'm not mistaken?); but otherwise Leomon (4.0) is just a henchman to HolyAngemon; Seadramon (1.0) appears as a mount for Etemon; DarkTyranomon and Deltamon are henchmen for Triceramon; Bakemon, Meramon, Kuwagamon, Numemon, and Devimon(!) are among Vamdemon's henchmen. Basically, regular red Tyranomon doesn't get much spotlight anywhere, despite being something of a counterpart to Greymon since the original V-pets, further reinforcing my choice to aim for the "Data" route in Survive first... (and this manga makes Triceramon look cooler than I ever saw him through other video games or the original card game!).
Gomamon looks hydrocephalic in this artstyle, never mind that his "generic manga drawing" mouth makes him look weird as fuck compared to the animal snout I'm used to from Jou's partner in the anime. Patamon looks weird with his smaller eyes, but maybe it "works" because he's ?
