The NovaCast: A Digimon Rewatch Experience

Digimon Data Squad Episodes 42 - 43. Do you like burst mode? Well you're in luck, because everyone's bursting today! Character arcs come full circle and development is dropped in a strange duo of episodes that lead us ever closer to the finish! If you thought we didn't like the Royal Knights last season, just wait until you hear what we think about a certain member featured in these episodes (spoiler: it's not great). All of that, plus a surprise reappearance by an old friend that makes us realize just how long the season has been going! And don't forget to stick around for after the credits for some discussion that's definitely podcast related! (Episode Art By @GleamingGarmore)

The Data Squad is on the back foot yet again, as we have the introduction of a fan favorite group, and have to be saved by our favorite gay weasel and the sorely missed Commander Samson. The end of the worlds are upon us, and as we run the risk of them disappearing, we tackle the important questions, like how annoying a bit can truly be and what are the best restaurants to go to as we wait to see if the end is actually inevitable!

Digimon Frontier Episodes 49 - 50. We've done it! Through the mids and lows, the NovaCast has finally managed to come out on the other end of the tunnel that was Digimon Frontier. Our farewell episode is packed to the brim with confusion over flashbacks and reused animation, the most compact ending in existence, and one final round of rewrites. We’re leaving the Digital World to our Italian speaking spirit selves before we disembark this train and assure everyone that, yes, we really do have friends now.

These episodes may not be that urgent, but we are in our quest to finish this show off once and for all! Dark chuckleheads, weirdly timed character development, and more pathetic beatdowns than we had before, the more this arc goes on the more we wish we were at the Village of Endings! If even adorable babies aren't enough to help us keep going, what hope do we have for the rest of the show? But of course, in true NovaCast fashion, we do what we can to try and imagine where these confusingly placed episodes could be used to better effect, if only to try and bring some sense to this show.

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!
