The NovaCast: A Digimon Rewatch Experience

Digimon Frontier: Island of Lost Digimon. The search is over. We looked high and low, in every nook and cranny, and even travelled to a hidden society high above the clouds, but we finally found it: a good piece of Frontier media! But why's it so dark and blurry? Find out in our in-depth breakdown of dub media that really was almost lost in the west as the NovaCast recaps Frontier’s sole OVA and its surprising amount of depth! Who will have to take the most laps around this CGI island, and how does the crew rate this season’s cast of Chuckleheads thus far? Find out on an uncharacteristically positive Frontier NovaCast!

Digimon Frontier Episodes 10 - 12. Having been trounced by a shitty goblin time and time again, the Chuckleheads seek out the power of Beast Mode to overcome this underwhelming adversary--and boy is it an uphill journey! The gang tries to hold onto their decorum as Frontier reaches new lows, but is the loss of the Italian spirit too much for the NovaCast to bear? Can the addition of new gimmick villains turn the show around, or will this spell the end of the Frontier Positivity Corner? What happens next may shock you!

Medabots Episodes 10 - 12. Our colorful cast grows larger still, as this batch of episodes features a couple memorable villains of the week as well as the introduction of perhaps the most beloved Medabot around! We’ve got it all, from phantom thief lore to discussions on Medabots Rights and the Satanic Panic of the nineties, plus the Rubberrobo Gang’s weirdest plan yet! Hold onto your rare medals, because it's time to Robattle!

Episode 10: 6:19

Digimon Frontier Episodes 8 - 9. Another week, another Frontier, another halfhearted gesturing at actual character growth and development for our latest cast of DigiDestined! In this week's feature, Sloane starts her attempts at the monumental task of rewriting this season--leading the crew down the most rabbit holes and winding tangents that you've ever heard as they desperately search for any excuse not to talk about Frontier! Is the trio strong enough to make their way through the TV Forest, or are they doomed to be forever lost in Italian Warfare and asking exactly who is the Kramer of the Legendary Warriors?

Digimon Frontier Episodes 6 - 7. The gang encounters their first recurring villain of the season, and let’s just say they call him ‘Grumblemon’ for a reason. But is this new Legendary Warrior a bigger terror than our cast of incorrigible chuckleheads? Or can Beetlemon's well-defined glutes save the day? And what's all this about a fabled good episode? Could this be the work of evil hackers, and if so, can they please five us some more like this? Plus, the NovaCast's anti-Paisano campaign rages on with no signs of stopping!

Digimon Con Recap: 2:49

Digimon Frontier Episodes 3 - 5. Our two Golden Boys have their Human Spirits, so it's time for the rest of the chuckleheads to get theirs, too! Tune into an extra-sized episode featuring some interesting trivia behind a very adorable bear, lamentations over missed character development opportunities, and groans and sighs as the NovaCast crew sees just how much misogyny this season can squeeze into one episode. Can the window dressing of Frontier's Digital World Lore keep us going through this three episode spectacular? Will the Frontier Positivity Corner make it through our second week? The season may just be getting started, but we are too, and no matter the highs and lows, we're set to see this through to the end!

Episode 3: 22:00

Digimon Frontier Episodes 1- 2. We've reached a new season, and with this one in particular comes a lot of new changes. With this new Frontier we quickly learn about Thom's opinions on what needs to happen to JP, Mina's favorite two little rascals in this series, and Sloane's sudden shift against her countrymen. But alongside the rocky start, the start to this new season adds a new show segment, and we cap things off with our sealed envelope predictions and pipe dreams for the upcoming Digimon Con!

Digimon Tamers: Runaway Locomon. Last stop, all change! We pull into one more station as we wave goodbye to Digimon Tamers, with “Runaway Locomon”. We track all the ways that this OVA wasn’t quite the ticket, with Rika going off the rails and Gallantmon Crimson Mode making a premature arrival. Also, Thom becomes the envy of the show as he recaps Belle, and Scrafty looks forward to the next season’s destination. We’re not out of steam yet!

Join Sloane, Scrafty, Thom, and returning guest Ron "Talespun" Taylor as they look back on Digimon Tamers in the latest, longest, and Nicest of the NovaCast's special retrospective series! Tamers is a season whose production and aftermath were as full as just as many twists and turns as the plot itself, and thus warrants plenty of discussion from every possible angle. From our last words on Konaka himself; to the various characters we know, love, and are tepid on; to our conclusive thoughts on the major plot beats of this beloved series, this jam-packed episode’s got it all! Get your Red Card and wade into the Forbidden Jam with us, because we're sending the series off with the fondest of farewells!

Digimon Tamers Episodes 50 - 51. The D-Reaper has been talking far too much mess about our favorite Tamers for far too long, and we’re all fed up with it. Witness the vanquishing of the ultimate foe, and stick around for production factoid, Kenta's track record, the tragedy of Janyu Wong, the worst innuendo that somehow made it past Fox Kids censors, and our theories on why the Monster Makers decided on the name “Doodlebug.” They say parting is such sweet sorrow, but did you know that exactly how sweet and sorrowful depends on the region? There's plenty to talk about as the sun sets on Digimon’s wildest season, so let's give it a proper sendoff with an episode you won’t wanna miss!

Episode 50: 34:06
