Garmmon said: She is quite skilled at performing karate. On the other hand, it seems she's not very good at doing food reporting...look out for Eri's food reporting in episode 6 (laughs). Click to expand...

Garmmon said: Q: Does Eri have anyone she likes [a love interest]!?

A: No comment on that. Click to expand...

Garmmon said: Q: What is her relationship with her partner, Dokamon?

A: Dokamon absolutely loves Eri, and enthusiastically says 'I'll follow you wherever you go!'. However, Eri on the other hand...stay tuned for episode 5 to find out what she thinks of Dokamon. Click to expand...

Garmmon said: Episodes 1-4 were made to build up Haru and Gatchmon's story. As episode 4 plays out one of the major battles in the early part of the series, the bond between the two Buddies deepens as they overcome this challenge. In this episode, we get to see a glimpse of what kind of Buddies these two protagonists will become in the future as the story centers around them. Also, episode 5 marks the debut of Eri and Dokamon. Do look out for how Haru's mindset of 'I will give my best for the benefit of everyone' will end up affecting Eri and causing her to change. Click to expand...

Overall I get the feeling that Eri could become either the most interesting or the most annoying character in Appmon... I guess we'll see.A group with 470 members... that sure is something. I wonder if they have to change the name on all the merchandise when a new member joins. And more importantly, I also wonder how that enormous size of the Idol group will come up in the story... It could be a case of well she's an idol but a single one among hundreds that are basically "mass produced" or the opposite like "Even though there are 470 of them she totally stands out from all of them!"I didn't expect that... I wonder if "performing" in this case implied her actually practicing it as an martial art or it being simply for show as part of her idol persona. It's not mentioned among her actual activities, so maybe that's what she didshe became an idol?So mysterious. Let the shipping begin.I absolutely love characters that showcase more unconventional viewpoints on Digimon (or in this case Appmon) partners. It would be interesting to see teamwork growing out of absolute apathy or annoyance (which I'm guessing is the case here). In previous seasons we always had some very direct ways to bind the partners together. Either the humans were already fans of Digimon, V-pets or otherwise and saw it as a dream come true or, if they weren't, it was simply a case of being in another world with their partner and having to fight evil together or die, in effect furthering their bond through extreme situations.In appmon... it's possible that none of the above is the case. Eri might just be randomly stuck with Dokamon (because it's her action app) without actually wanting to have anything to do with him, while other appmon going "berserk" is pretty much still more of an inconvenience than a real threat to human lives or the world in general... so there's not that much of an incentive to just "go save the world".We already saw a bit of hesitation on Haru's part but that was pretty much over after the first episode thanks to him using Gatchmon and their Appmon adventures as a means to realize his complex of becoming a heroic main character. But with Eri it might not be so simple. For her helping people with Dokamon isn't the only chance she has to fulfill her dreams; She is already an idol, she's already in the spotlight anyway and might, with the interview stressing that she doesn't really have much free time she might even see all the appmon stuff as something unnecessary that she doesn't have time for.That's sounds quite good. There was always the danger of appmon becoming too episodic (and the first three episodes were already pretty episodic), but if episode 4 already shakes things up with an importantbattle and the next few episodes will center around new characters that might handle things differently than Haru and Gatchmon did, that could really go a long way to keep appmon from just easing into some formulaic status quo.
