[ interesting things of note in the design of the Yagami residences:
The Daikanransha ferris wheel is visible from the terrace in episode 21 (August 1999) of Adventure, and visible from the front door in Our War Game (March 2000). This means their building either makes one full rotation per year, or the ferris wheel terrifyingly rolls around the city as it spins.
Those wall hangings change so much, they are literally all switched out between August 1st and 2nd, 1999.
They had Miko and also a fish tank in Hikarigaoka
They decided hanging kitchen supplies was no longer en vogue in 2005
I still can’t tell if Taichi and Hikari shared a bedroom during Adventure, judging by the cat decor and bedding on the top bunk. Since the room contains mostly Taichi’s junk, Hikari might just sleep there occasionally. Potentially they continued to share a room when they first moved from Hikarigaoka to Odaiba, and stopped at some point. Clearly Hikari had her own room in 2002, and Taichi’s top bunk was made into storage by then.
The dress/sunhat/handbag combo that perpetually hangs on Hikari’s wall is just really cute
Hikari displays her own photography on her wall, which includes the Daikanransha, the Rainbow Bridge, and a headshot of her brother
Girl has fake digieggs as decorations and I LOVE IT. Pretty much Hikari’s entire bedroom from floor to ceiling is my aesthetic.
I didn’t have room to include this in the imageset, but there’s a shot of Taichi’s bedroom from episode 21 (Taichi’s brief return home on Aug 1) that is almost identical visually to its layout and design in Our War Game (which takes place in March 2000). Interestingly, when the entire group returns in episodes 31 and beyond, Taichi’s bedroom is set up completely differently, even though it is still August 1999. If I were someone who knew anything about the history of Digimon animation, I could probably come up with a reason for this based on who worked on which episode/film at what time. I am well aware that Digimon had quite a few different animators. It’s just really fascinating to see how that affects such minute things as home decor. ]
