DIGIMON ADVENTURE BLU-RAY LINER NOTES

Discotek's blu-ray of Digimon season 1 finally hit shelves this week! I wrote over two hundred pages of liner notes for this release, including an essay covering the development of the series, and episode-by-episode guides (specifically designed to accompany the English dub) that detail background trivia, production info, behind-the-scenes factoids, tie-in media and merchandise, and cultural references - all from both the English and Japanese versions of the show, while also noting the key differences beteween the two! Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, these notes weren't able to be included on the finished discs, but Discotek has given the okay for them to be released, for free, online! You can grab them now at the Digimon fansite, With the Will!

oh hey, i read a post about this! pretty sure i have the post reblogged but it’s buried preeetty deep because i reblog stuff a lot.

anyways, it’s exactly what it sounds like: the TF fandom and sherlock fandom duking it out over the TFP tag.

reason? sherlock’s series finale (i think it was the series finale?) came out and it was titled “the final problem” and the fandom abbreviated it as TFP.

of course, the TF fandom wasn’t happy-and the sherlock fandom telling the TF fandom to use a new tag didn’t help-because the TFA tag already got snatched thanks to the star wars fandom so the TFP tag was defended via being spammed with TFP stuff and drowning out all the sherlock stuff. and the tag is full of transformers prime stuff again so yeah TF won

It’s worth noting that we got the TFA tag back. If you look in it right now it’s full of Transformers posts. The whole incident was quite stupid because both fandoms could have used alternative tags but didn’t want to for convenience and laziness.
