Shadow Shinji said: This may confirm one of my greatest fears since the first OVA of tri. was released: they don't have any idea where this story is going. And when I'm stating that, I'm not saying of course that they can construct each film between OVAs and they make last-minute minor changes, is that they don't even have a framework of the story since the very beginning, that's probably why tri. was eventually announced as a series of OVA and not as a regular TV series, therefore that's probably also the reason why they can not give us an exact date right now.

I bet that even Ophanimon FM wasn't planned to appear, but they decided to go this way, as a way to ease (and make profitable) the long-time struggle between Ophanimon and Holydramon, and because they have no idea what to do with the story from now on. Click to expand...

So, it literally can happen anything at this point, and while this is good in some sort of way, on the other hand I believe it's a shame that that the creators of tri. were more interested (at least in origin) in milk the return of Aventure instead of caring about the quality of the story...

I still think that Kakudo should have been in charge of the project. Click to expand...

I don't know how to respond to this to be honest... because I'd have to explain how making tv/film/etc. works, and I just don't have the time at the moment to get into that.Ignoring that they never announced a schedule in the first place... delays happen.A decently well known anime example of that is Wolf's Rain. Delays caused episodes 15 thru 18 to be clip shows rather than the 'real' episodes, the show 'ended' with episode 26, the episodes that were 'meant' to be the final four were finished and released as OVAs.I mean hell... the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider run from the 90s ended with issue 93... 94 was the finale... AND IT WAS FINISHED. It took Marvel 9 years to publish a finished comic book (the first year or two they couldn't have due to business issues, but still...)...What struggle? Fans questioning it? Man, if they didn't have it planned, the lazy way would have been to just do what Bandai tossed on the CSA Digivice.I mean, I don't wanna say it in a mean way but... you do realize Toei isn't our friend, and this is a business right? tri. exists for no reason other than to make money. Same for Adventure (and everything that followed.) Bandai had a beeping toy, they wanted the toy to make them more even more money, they worked with their good buddy Toei to make a cartoon. That tradition continues today.I mean, don't get me wrong, the production crew cares, they've made that very clear. But it's still a thing that is being made to make money.I love both Adventure and 02... but even if Kakudou had things as mapped out as he remembers it... he was very clearly shit at informing the people working on it.To say nothing of the fact that Kakudou's directing skills are most focused at children friendly lots of action shows, of which tri. isn't.I mean, just to point it out... They've already delivered what are, basically, four feature length productions... and from when tri. part 1 came out, to right now... is less than a year and a half.
