I'm more disappointed there wasn't even a simulcast for this. Like, what the hell happened Toei? |

It's starting to look likely that Appmon will be a single year show.
I wonder if anyone's even going to bother dubbing it. |

They probably will, the real question is if anyone will actually see the dub. Toei got World Trigger dubbed recently, then sold the TV rights to a channel that's only available to Comcast customers on a specific subscription tier and only broadcasts in 11 states. |

I wouldn't even care if they do. I didn't even watch this Digimon series. Appmon? Sounded stupid when I first heard about it. Fusion's dub was horrible and weird sounding. So, if they do dub this, it'll be full of gags and silliness during serious moments.

The only Digimon series that lasted more than a year was Xros Wars. Hopefully no, dubbed Digimon should be a thing of the past. Cancelling the dub for Xros Wars is a good sign it might be. |

Most Digimon series have around 50 episodes, which is about a year if you consider breaks. Xros Wars is about 50% longer than the rest, but it was also divided into three sub-seasons. Adventure is the second longest with 54 episodes, followed by Tamers (51), Zero Two and Frontier have both 50, and Savers is the shortest with 48. Given how most fans hate Hunters (the third part of Xros Wars), making it longer doesn't make it necessarily better. Adventure needed that length due to its big main cast that needed to their final development in the final part of the series. For me, Appli Monsters' cast still looks way too similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V's cast. (Two guys who look like Yuya which really appropriate given how ARC-V is about, a girl who looks like Yuzu, and one guy who looks like Kurosaki.) |

It's true that most Digimon series run for a year's worth of episodes. However, I meant that I suspect there won't be another Digimon Universe show that starts the week after Appmon concludes. If you look back, it was Adventure > Adventure 02 > Tamers > Frontier and later on, it was Xros Wars - Death Generals > Xros Wars - Young Hunters. Kids shows are meant to run until they're no longer successful, even if they get annual reboots. The only prior one and done Digimon series was Savers.
That's why I question a dub existing. If Funimation wanted anything to do with Digimon, they'd have grabbed Adventure Tri. Given they've simuldubbed Puzzle & Dragons X and Monster Hunter Stories, they would've likely already picked up Appmon, too. None of the other anime distributors really do exclusively kids shows anymore either. The more traditional kids media companies would likely want more than 50 episodes to work with. Saban Brands probably won't be interested after Fusion flopped. Data Squad happened through Toei USA, the goodwill from the prior series and an interested US broadcast partner. Maybe if Disney helps front the bill again?
