I've been playing Digimon UP for about a week now and I'm enjoying it more than I expected.

I started out of curiosity after seeing some posts right after launch. I'd known about the game for a couple of months but I had no idea what it was actually like (I was mainly keeping up with Alysion).

I began with YukimiBotamon and everything was going well, until I noticed that the game had automatically put me on the ASIA#192 server 🥲 at that point my partner had already reached the Adult level as Tailmon.

I had to reroll and created a new account on EU#34. It sucks because on my Asia account, by the 2nd multi (20 summons) per banner, I got 1 Taichi and Agumon + 1 WarGreymon.

I kept playing that account because I got attached to it, being my first account and having WarGreymon and a copy of Taichi and Agumon made it hard to let go.

But it's time to move on.

On the new account I started with Nyokimon, raised it to Huohuomon, and now I'm with Gabumon. So far nothing notable has come out, I'm 100% f2p and have no plans to spend money.

At the beginning, whenever my digimon digivolved and Brave Heart started playing, it gave me chills every time. Those first few days felt magical. However, for the past 2 days the music hasn't been playing during digivolutions, even though I followed the official english Digimon UP account instructions to manually adjust the settings.

I play casually while cooking, at night while writing, or whenever I have some free time.

What I like the most is the raising aspect. The training, feeding them, the camp… it really feels like having a tamagotchi but with your favorite digimon.

While the Meat Field, DD Box and Digital World Search are quite basic, I'm personally a fan of the game's overall visual aesthetic. The map also triggers strong Adventure nostalgia and is engaging, both in its design and in the digimon you find to battle.

I don't like mobile gaming, so the fact that it's an idle game works fine for me. I log in, check on my digimon, give it some love and go on with my day.

As for the things I didn't like:

Obviously the shop and the gacha system.

The pvp also feels pretty wild because of the whales.

The global chat that keeps popping up on the idle screen full of spam, I'm constantly blocking people. I think they should make that chat hidden by default.

And then there's the server issue. I know I'll probably never play with friends because the game assigns you randomly, making it almost impossible to share a camp or even add each other.

So if by chance you're on EU#34, feel free to add me. You can find me under the name Mary and we can support each other.

I also created a camp called FileHub. I don't have anyone in it yet lol, but you're more than welcome to join.

Update: I deleted the camp because nobody was joining, and trying to make progress by myself was way too slow. So I joined an existing lvl 4 camp with 59 other people instead.

I'm currently at Tamer Rank 10, TLv 88, in Kernel Area (Stage 553) and I don't pick my skill cards or support digimon strategically, just relying on auto-equip (which I know isn't optimal but I'm not playing seriously enough to study better combinations).

Overall, it delivers on the nostalgia, keeps me entertained for a while and gives that Tamagotchi / V-Pet vibe well. I'd only recommend it if you take it easy and don't spend any money.

Technically, this blog was born about 5 years ago, but today marks its first real year of activity.

I think I created this account years ago to look for vision board inspo (kind of how pinterest is used) but it has been my digital journal for a year now since I started posting. I came from writing in my physical journals, onenote and a stint on reddit where I ended up while searching for info on Digimon Adventure Tri because I couldn't believe it existed, I don't think I had even reached the part where Kuwagamon attacks Odaiba before I was already googling reviews of these OVAs, my jaw hit the floor the moment the Tri intro started playing. Seeing people share tumblr links there to back up their points is how I discovered that you could write, log things and be part of different communities here.

Back then, I had zero clue how this place worked, I didn't get the reblogs, archives or even tags, which mean so much more here than just a search filter.

As someone who loves keeping records of different moments, how amazing would it have been if the 2022 me, who used to write in her onenote, had known about this place.

Tumblr Wrapped 2025

Timeline

📍February 15, 2025 Discovered Digimon Adventure Tri by accident on Crunchyroll. 🔹 Following weeks Watched Tri seven times in a row, not knowing when to stop and started reflecting and feeling the need to put thoughts into words. 📍 May 31, 2025 Blog start on Tumblr. Not the blog creation date but the moment I started writing publicly here. 🔹 After that Writing became part of the process. Sharing analyses and thoughts.

This year, Tumblr began for me during a time of many changes in my life. One of those moments when everything feels uphill and the world seems to be moving in a different direction nonstop.

In the middle of all that, I surrounded myself with familiar comforts and turned to Crunchyroll looking for a bit of nostalgia. While browsing the catalog, Digimon Adventure stood out to me, so I started watching, this time as an adult. And something clicked.

After finishing the series, Crunchyroll's autoplay took me to Digimon Adventure Tri. A story I didn't even know existed and that ended up accompanying me far more than I expected.

Taichi in Tri wasn't saving the world out of pure heroism or impulse. From my perspective, he felt lonely, carried a heavy emotional weight and kept postponing important decisions.

That story helped me understand the moment I was going through and gave me a clearer view of how bonds are built when you're not at your best.

But this wasn't only about Tri.

At the beginning of September, I returned to Genshin Impact with version Luna I (6.0).

The story reminded me why I fell in love with this game in the first place, to the point that it inspired me to write about it again and replay the main story from scratch on a new account (a questionable decision and a very demanding experience).

I also returned to playing Digimon after MANY years (the same amount of time I hadn't watched the series). Reconnecting with the franchise at this stage of my life was special. Analyzing mechanics, narratives and letting nostalgia do its thing, this time without running on autopilot.

As a year end plot twist, I created a side blog to archive things and breathe. I started writing more in Spanish alongside English, and in the early hours of December 23, I wrote my first fanfiction.

If I had to sum up this 2025 on Tumblr, it would be something like this: stories that arrived when I needed them most, writing as a way to channel my love for meaningful stories, organize my thoughts, and a strong desire to keep exploring.

About this blog

Hi! I'm Mary. Here you'll mostly find posts about series, games and music. Sometimes analysis, sometimes opinions or notes.

I've shared posts about Digimon Adventure, Digimon Story Time Stranger and Genshin Impact but I'm also into other themes like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Pokemon and a few others.

I post about what moves me in the moment. It's not a themed blog, just an evolving mix of things I enjoy. If something here doesn't match your interests, that's fine. You can unfollow me anytime or mute tags so you can choose what you see.

I also keep an archive sideblog maryysarchive (in case you come across it).

Stay well 🤍

Hi I just wanted to say that I recently found your Tumblr (I'm new here) and I'm completely blown away by your Digimon Adventure meta posts.I'm currently rewatching all of Digimon Adventure and writing reviews of each installment and at some point I'd love to dive into individual character analyses and their dynamics too. So, stumbling upon your posts has been such a gift, not only do I resonate deeply with a lot of your perspectives but you've also helped me feel validated in my own approach

and given me entirely new angles to think about. Even though I know I'm super late to the party and it seems like you've moved on from writing about the chosen I still wanted to thank you. Your thoughts and work are truly inspiring and incredibly appreciated.

First of all, hello there!!! Even as someone who has been on tumblr for ages, I know how difficult it can be to enter a new fandom and find ways to connect with others and articulate yourself - hence why I'm incredibly grateful that you sent me this message! The Digimon fandom itself is very broad and branches into several sub groups, so even if Digimon Adventure is definitely one of the more popular sub groups, posting may feel a bit like shouting ideas into the void sometimes - so hearing that my analysis posts resonated with you makes me very, VERY happy, I genuinely feel honoured and am still grinning from ear to ear.

Honestly, I've been on vacation for the past few days, so my online presence was a bit limited. However, I've read through big chunks of your 02 analysis post and I can't tell you how many times I've nodded along enthusiastically, especially after discussing various points with my dear lore specialist @jamesthedigidestined in text AND voice in great detail! I haven't read all of your Adventure analysis yet and even though Tri is something I have my issues with, I definitely enjoyed your way of approaching it with a fresh outlook. I still want to reblog and honour everything appropriately once I am back at my laptop.

I'm by no means done talking about Adventure, so if there is anything you'd like to ramble or generally talk or ask or know about, no matter if it's about lore, characters or relationships, you're always welcome! @jamesthedigidestined is an amazing lore gatherer in particular and is more familiar with technical terms, so if you want to discuss anything, please feel free to approach him too!

Wow… I saw your tags on the reblog and I honestly teared up. Thank you so much for reading and for appreciating this. I discovered Tri three months ago, and I loved it deeply, but seeing so many criticisms like “nothing makes sense” or “many subplots that go nowhere,” I felt the need to explain it with as much detail as I could.

It makes me genuinely happy to know that you understood it from the moment you watched it and that you also caught on to all those subtle layers that are so easy to miss. Thank you for your words. They meant a lot. 🤍

Oh no, thank you for the lovely message! I have just gotten so used to Tri bashing in the tags that when I see people appreciating I have an extreme visceral reaction, like yes!!! Finally!!! I wish I could've explained these plot points as eloquently as you did back when the hate train started. I just hope more people come across your post and give it another chance.

I have come to realise that the biggest flaw of Tri perhaps is the breaks in between which it was aired. It gave the fandom time to pick apart every single issue to the point that they themselves made the series feel hollow enough to not be enjoyable anymore. I have rewatched the series several times now, and I always tell people who haven't gone back to it since the intial release, that please just once sit down and watch it all in one go, then you will understand.

I'm glad though that there are people still discovering it and coming to see the good things about it! There's still hope for it and that's what makes me the happiest.
