The main headline is "A new Digimon is chosen to become a nationally televised TV anime!!"
The red box says "This is a quick lineup of the main Digimon that play a role in the TV program! Furthermore, they link with the "shop appliance" scheduled for release this summer!!"
The orange boxes say:
"New Digimon is the start of a nationally televised anime! This is a lineup of the main characters who play a role from the beginning of the TV program!"
"These link with Bandai's shop appliance, AR Colosseum (tentative)! If the two-dimensional codes attached to the straps are read by the shop appliance, there is a another feature of being able to battle digimon in the store!"
The final bottom headline is "Please look forward to New Digital Monsters!"

Don't know about the pink bunny yet, but this seems to be like a mecha-inspired "triple Jogress".ceratoformers3 wrote:So now multiple ones combine together in a process that isn't DNA Digivolution? My head hurts. And what's with the pink bunny?

New Digimon Anime Broadcast Conformed!!
Starting this July on Terebi Asahi Keizenkoku Network!
Digimon Army vs. Digimon Army!
A great war like never before will begin!
Digimon Cross Wars. (Digimon Xros Wars)
We have our hands on an exclusive scoop! This summer, a new “Digimon” anime will start. New Digimon and a new exciting story about new Tamers*, is coming to you faster than ever!
The new main character and his Digimon are these two!
Keeping with the same fond memories, new heros take the stage!
New information GET!! The first information about the hero and partner at the center of this story is here!! Fighting with strong memories in his heart, let’s see the power tucked away!!
A hero who saves everyone in trouble!
Kudou Taiki:
Someone who will never overlook those in need, a first year junior high school student with a warm personality. Someone who handles a lot of requests, a person who is always busy as the helper with his club activities!
A Digimon leader with a soul of rock!
Shautomon:**
A Digimon who protects the village of peace in the Digital World from the hands of evil. He is a leader admired by the Digimon in the village.
Children command the Digimon, lead the Digital World to Unity!
In this new anime, the children are commanders of the Digimon! Restoring unity to the Digital World, the armies make use of strategy and strike! Don’t miss this grand battle like you’ve never seen!
*Yes, the word “Tamer” really is used, and it is plural.
**May be intended to be “Shoutmon” in English.
Taiki is a junior high student, and “children” and “tamers” are both definitely plural. Also, I think Shautomon is supposed to be somewhat rock and roll themed, since it says he has a soul of rock, wearing headphones, name sounds like "shout." Discuss!
Image may be used freely, I'd like credit for the translation. After midnight in Japan, hope y'all appreciate it... although I'm too excited to sleep anyhow =D
EDIT: So hay guys, you know how I said I posted this after midnight? The ad was sort of a potser pull out kind of thing that I thought I had to scan and put together in four pieces because it didn't fit. I didn't seem to figure out I could just scan it vertically. My face when I realized this must have been priceless. ANYHOW, I re-scanned it so now you can REALLY see right up into Taiki's existent nostrils!
Cross Wars Page 1, Cross Wars Page 2
There was also an ad for Digimon Lost Evolution in the same magazine, so I figured why not scan that too. I didn't translate it because... I really have no idea if this is new info or not since I haven't kept up with Lost Evo stuff.

A new era of Digimon is coming!
The battles this time are going to be amaaaaaazering.
Kudou Taiki and Shoutmon are a strong tag team in the Digital World. A fight between Digimon armies will unfold like that in the Era of Warring States.
Shoutmon-- A Digimon who protects a peaceful village in the Digital World. He becomes the leader of the group and faces the Digimon armies that attack the village.
Kudou Taiki-- 7th grade boy. His sense of justice is strong and he's excellent in sports. He has a cheerful and positive attitude, and cannot turn his back on someone in trouble.
Digimon are? Monsters who live in the Digital World. Their bodies are made up of digital data, and when they receive heavy damage, that data breaks down and is destroyed. They evolve to power up.
The Digital World is? A foreign world that exists on the other side of the computer network connected throughout the world. Everything in it is made up of digital data. It appears to contain many different areas, but further details are still unclear.

You mean like something that lists all/most of the toys in the Digimon toyline? Well, I do know of a place that made a compilation of a good majority of the American toys (pre-Savers/Data Squad only, though), but it doesn't list much of any Japanese-only ones. This site calls it its "Toy Encyclopedia". Here are its pages: "Season One Toys", "Season Two Toys", "Season Three Toys", "Season Four Toys", "2004-2005 Toys".Blurrz wrote:Awesome.
Does anyone (I guess Sabrblade will answer this ) have a Digimon Toys Resource? I swear I had a link to it, but I lost it in my laptop crash.

That's waht happened to most people, as Frontier wasn't as popular as the previous three (thouhg I still think it's better than Zero Two).zenosaurus_x wrote:Well I used to watch it when I was little, followed it up to Frontiers, then it totally killed my interest.
The one cool character(Kouichi right? yeah that was it) had to go from the awesome Duskmon to that lame Lion dude....
When I first saw Savers, I was stoked by it, as it was the first anime that I had ever seen in Japanese with English subtitles. Admittedly, the series is not the best of the five, but it does have its merits. After looking back at it, I realize why so many have difficulty getting into it. Its plot doesn't really come about until the 12th episode, with the previous 11 being mostly fillers. But these filliers do help us get better acquainted with the characters and the 8th-11th episode do kinda build up to the plot's intro in episode 12.zenosaurus_x wrote:Then Data Squad came and I just never liked it and had started to grow out of it(which doesn't happen often for me).
Check this guy out:zenosaurus_x wrote:Guess I may follow the new series, but I doubt any new Digimon can match the old cool ones like Omnimon and so forth...

Huanglongmon/Fanglongmon?zenosaurus_x wrote:Don't forget..Gold..dragon..mon..guy...he was the leader of those 4 beasts!
Somehow, despite Chaosmon looking much cooler, I always preferred UltimateChaosmon just because he's made of like 5+ people...
Why? Having set evolutions would make it further resemble Pokemon and the last thing we want is anohter thing for the Pokemon fans to point at and say "Digimon is a Pokemon ripoff!"zenosaurus_x wrote:Though if Digimon changed one thing I could probably get back into it:set Digivolutions, like Pokemon has. Kinda annoys me to see this completely random Digimon can Digivolve into something completely unrelated....
Oh, yes, Mugendramon/Machinedramon was hardcore. He was my favorite of the Dark Masters. I just wish that he'd gotten more episodes (and that Pinnochimon/Puppetmon had less of his own)zenosaurus_x wrote:On a side note:My favorite(tied with aforementioned Gold guy) is Machinedramon, I remember I used to draw up my own Digimon...I even wrote a story about it, which is odd as I hate writing...
Man, it brings back ALOT of memories...
Well, both series are pretty much a pair of mixed bags, but I enjoyed them both.zenosaurus_x wrote:Anyways, about Frontier, I just didn't like Zoey.
And Data Squad...I don't know, well where I lived for one, it only came on late, and with school and stuff I couldn't watch, then when I could, it was so far in the series I was mostly lost...

Although, there is sometimes a plus side to randomness: it brings a little spice of uniqueness and unexpectedness, being able to ignore cliches and stereotypes.zenosaurus_x wrote:Yeah! Huang/Fanglongmon was awesome! He NEEDS screentime!Why?

That's true, but I'd at least like them to make sense, I can't remember any at the moment, but several have just totally random forms...

-The Shoutmonx4 fusion is called "Digixros" (Digi-cross)
-Taiki and his friends are thrown into the DW much like in Adventure
-Xros Loader digivice can call out Digimon and help them evolve... so I guess it's a lot like Savers Digi-burst in that regard.
And while not anime news, the Xros Loader toy coming out can also be used as an mp3 player.
A little more news from a blog about the story:
Protagonist Taiki Kudou is an uncommonly good samaritan of a 7th grader whose favorite phrase is "I can't leave them be!" (Hottokenai!) One day, the Digimon Xros Loader appears and Shoutmon's voice calling for help reach Taiki. The "D Digimon Xros Loader" is an important item that can give power to the Digimon for their "Digixros" fusion. Taiki was chosen to be a "General" who uses that power. Taiki and his friends are thrown towards another world, the "Digital World". With the appearance of rivals and enemy Digimon, the DW develops into a stage for "Xros Wars"! Taiki and Shoutmon combine their Digimon army with "D Digimon Xros Loader" and face off strong opponents with Digixros!
The Xros Loader toy is going to be the first to come in color LCD.
Akari Hinomoto - Taiki's childhood friend and one year younger than him. She worries about Taiki because he is always doing the unreasonable.
Taiki Kudou - A hot-blooded 7th grader who saves the weak. He fights with Shoutmon and is the main character.
Zenjirou Tsurugi - Taiki's classmate and kendo boy who proclaims to be Taiki's "eternal rival". He hates things that are immoral/injust.
Kiriha Aonuma - 7th grader who leads and fights with Greymon. He eliminates enemies with cold and calculated methods, spreading the influence of his power.
Nene Amano - A beautiful girl who leads a mysterious army. She appears to be searching for strong soldiers for a purpose, but...?
