Journal

It's almost 2 years now and the local TV station is still not planning to air the US version Digimon series. On the other side of the world, Digimon 02 has already been released!

I've watched the Hong Kong Digimon videos (with Chinese subtitles version) since they don't have the English version here, but I did manage to find Vol. 1 - 3 US version. And we don't have the Digimon animated series aired here, either. I am one sad Digimon fan. Anyway, I can understand a few Chinese words but most of it were translated by my younger sister, Irene.

Irene: What's the use of understanding a little bit of Chinese words if you don't get the whole story? What do you think I am? A Chinese Dictionary?
Rina: Well...yes. So, tell me...what are they saying in this episode?

Digimon Adventure - Other English dubbed version

I've finally bought the English version of Vol. 1-6 but not the American English from FoxKids. I think it was either a local, Malaysian English dubbed version or other Asian English version. The problem is that their voice dub is not very good... but I guess it's better than the Malay version. Waaah! Why can't I just get the original version with English subtitles instead?!

Irene: Jie (Big sister)...You're taking this whole Digimon thing too seriously.
Nora: You need to get a life, ya know that?
Rina: Oh, look who's talking! The Video Game 'Expert' and a big 'Card Captor Sakura' fan is telling ME to get a life.

Other than that, Rose bought me a wonderful gift for no reason. She got me a "Digimon Adventure 02 - Single Hit Parade"!!! It's a wonderful cd single. I don't know where she bought it but I really, really love it! Although, I haven't watched any episode from the Digimon 02, yet. But still, thank you, Rose! You're the best! Oh darn it, I got dust in my eyes (sniff). The second track is sooo cute! It was sung by the Season 02's Digimons including Patamon and Tailmon! All I need now is to get myself the first season Digimon cds!

Koumimi? Jyoumi? Or nothing at all???

After I've seen the group pic from Digital Sushi that has proven some of them are official couples, I was quite disappointed that neither Jyou nor Koushiro is with Mimi. There's Takeru with Hikari, Yamato with Sora (Poor Taichi! ^^;) and Ken with Miyako (although Rose still denies that they're together).

Rina: Don't you guys have anything better to do like go on a picnic or see a movie besides playing cards or other games?

Yeah, like maybe one of you guys better ask Mimi out for a date?! Don't tell me that none of them have feelings for Mimi! That's impossible! After watching the first season of this series (Digimon 01), I thought for sure that Mimi will ended up with either Jyou or Koushiro. But up until now, I still couldn't find any website that has any info about this trio's (Digimon 02) relationship. No proof, no evidence about either of them being together...not even a HINT! What is Toei Animation up to? The suspense is killing me.

Digimon Adventure Music CDs!

Waaaaaah!!! I can't believe my luck! I found a music CD that I like and it's related to Digimon! It's the Digimon 02: Partner Song Collection Vol. 1 from Ever Anime. It's the only one left (or at least that's what I thought). Anyway, I bought it on that day, too.

I'm so happy because the songs in it are very good, sung by the original 01 Chosen Children and their digimons. All 18 songs in total. If you're a Digimon Adventures fanatic, you definitely don't wanna miss this!

"Atarashii Taiyou" by Taichi, "Agumon Ondo" by Agumon, "Team" by Taichi and Agumon are just cute. I like "Happy Smile" by Mimi and Palmon the best!

Digimon Adventure Music CDs II!

Yet again, I can't believe my luck! I bought 'Digimon 02: Partner Song Collection Vol. 2'! Presenting Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, Takeru, Hikari, Ken and their Digimons! The songs are majorly cool, especially Daisuke's and Miyako's partner songs. "Don't stop, Pata Pata!" by Patamon is sooo cute! Even my Mom kept asking me to play that song. ^^;

Digimon Series: The Malay dubbed version

Finally on air but...

What a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! I know it's gonna be too good to be true that they're gonna show the US version so, I thought that they're gonna air the Asian-English dubbed episodes instead. But no... they aired the Malay-dubbed version! Gaaaaak!!!!! Their voice acting is a lot worse than the Asian-English one! And some of their conversation doesn't match the scenes. Huh... and I've been waiting for so long, too.

Rina: Why? Why? WHY??? AAAAAARGH!!!
Nora: She's really obsessed with Digimon, isn't she?
Irene: A bit too much...

Digimon 03 - Digimon Tamers

Confirmed! Digimon 03 or known in Japan as Digimon Tamers, the new Digimon series is going to be on aired in Japan real soon. Thanks to Fujita for this info!

Unlike Digimon and Digimon 02, this one has nothing to do with the previous series. I guess that's why it's called Digimon Tamers not Digimon Adventure 03.

Looky, look! Isn't that Terriermon from Digimon 02 Movie? That's right, people! He's one of the main characters but his tamer isn't Wallace! That's because this isn't the same Terriermon we're dealing with. Anyway, I'm glad that the new series doesn't have anything to do with the previous series because the 02 version was kinda disappointing (although, I haven't watched all of it yet ^^;).

Sure... they had a great bunch of new characters but I was also hoping that they (Toei Animation) would make the original Digidestined more...how would you put this, alive. Before watching 02, I thought for sure that Taichi and Sora would become a couple but no...Sora has someone else in mind. Argh! And I thought Jun has given up when Yamato already found his new love but I didn't expect....! Grrr, why, why, WHY??? As for Jou and Mimi, nothing in the 02 version! I really, really like the first version better. Rose was right. They should have just left Digimon Adventure's story that way without the 2nd version. But I still wanna watch it... Is Mimi really going to end up with Michael instead?

Bye-bye, Digimon Adventure

I've been downloading some episode clips of the Japanese version of Digimon 02 from the internet lately because I can't wait any longer to know the story. Even though I didn't really get the whole story. ^^;

After I've watched the last episode of Digimon 02, I cried. Now, don't get me wrong. It's a good ending. It was touching... just not satisfying enough. I'm not going to tell the whole story here. I don't wanna give away the spoiler. It'll have to wait till I get the translated version. And after that, I'll tell you all about it.

Digimon Adventure series has finally come to an end but that doesn't stop me from being a massive Digimon fan. I still love Digimon Adventure; I'm still a Jou/Mimi coupling fan. So, let's just say goodbye to Digimon Adventure and make way for the all new series of Digimon Universe, Digimon Tamers!

Digimon Wonder Cup!

Rina Cat in the Post Star Newspaper!

I've always dreamed that one day my work will be printed in a newspaper but I never thought it will happen in someplace far away from Malaysia, like America!

Rina: I'm really, really happy. Happy, happy, happy!...
Nora: Don't exaggerate, sis. And stop hopping around, you look like a fool!
Irene: It would be much better if you have your own comic book...

Thanks to Mike for sending the paper all the way from America!

Mike: Aww...it was nothing. But I don't remember sending any paper...
Zack: That's because she was referring to another 'Mike', Mike!

That's right! I was referring to Mike Peterson of the Post Star Paper. Visit their site here! It's educational...
 

Presents from Fujita-sama!

Fujita is such a sweet and generous person! He said he's going to send me some Digimon stuff from Japan but I didn't expect gifts in one big (well, not so big) box. I got the presents a few months ago (June if I'm not mistaken), I just decided to show it off today, wahaha! XD; Here are some of the stuff inside.

Terriermon, Renamon, Culumon and two Tailmon (one in standing pose, the other one in sitting pose) plushies! Waaai~~~! XD

Models of the Digimon Tamers casts! (Culumon, Impmon, Kyubiimon, Growmon, Galgomon, Renamon, Gilmon and Terriermon!)

A Tailmon/Hawkmon Digivice (Japanese version)...

Rina: Ohoho... Look, I finally have my very first, own Digivice! Thank you, Fujita-sama!
Nora: Actually, that's the second. The first one was the one she bought here. Unfortunately for her, it was a fake, right, Rina?
Rina: Ahah, err... ^^;

...And finally, two different Digimon doujinshis by two different artist. It's thin but it's worth a lot for a Digimon fanatic like me. XD The first book is about Wizardmon and Tailmon's love story, while the second one is about Koushiro, Ken and their Digimons.

Thank you again, Fujita! For all these wonderful gifts! ^o^
