Yeah I'm pretty much the most unnostalgic person ever.

But what I meant is that the plot of Adventure didn't have enough room to have a sequel.
02 was rushed and the story, looking at it in retrospective, is really bad and filled with tons of plot holes.
Which is kinda the fault of the writing teams. In adventure people wrote stuff as they came up with them, literally.
That's why there is no real plot. Villains appear because the last one died. Did they work together? no.
Which is also why the Dark Masters (I believe that's how they were called) didn't attack the Children when they could barely evolve on File Island - the writing team haven't thought of them yet.
Here is the thing, when they wrote the last 2-3 episodes of Adventure they thought "hey let's make the Children loose the crests and realize that they don't need them to warp and super evolve".
At the same time over at the 02 department people were like "Okay so the plan is that Taichi and co. can't warp and super evolve because they gave up their crests offscreen after adventure".
Yeaah... Communication was too expensive back then... BTW 02 budget was small.
Also one big thing with 02, in the Japanese the children are called "chosen Children" so if Taichi and Co. were chosen by Genai and co. then who chose Daisuke and co. and the international Children? If it was Genai he could say it or at least hint at it. He had enough screen time for it.
I mean the very reason why Chiaki J. Konaka, the head writer of Tamers, went with the Tamers concept was because he didn't want to deal with these "who chose the chosen children" BS.
Oh yeah and the Demon Corps and the Dark ocean are also Ideas that were dropped for no reason.
02 was really a mess.

03 or whatever it will be called is going to suffer from that. But at least this season won't be rushed like 02 xD
I hope they will do good job with it and that they finally do something good with the franchise. Xros Wars really wasn't what everyone wanted.

But what makes me wonder is why they made an extra English version when the franchise is pretty much dead outside of Japan? I mean we have Xros Wars on Nick, which flops, the new Rumble game, which will flop, and Germany doesn't even have a Xros wars anime release. Four years after it originally aired in Japan.
Man this shit's confusing.
