Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters Announced As A New Cross-Media Project

Bandai, Bandai Namco Entertainment and Toei Animation announced Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters, a cross-media project that will feature an anime, toys, digital card game for kids, games, and more.

The anime, Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters, will begin airing in fall 2016. The cross-media project will continue to expand with toys, the card game, video games, magazines, and more, and we’ll get more information at the Tokyo Toy Show 2016 on June 9, 2016.

Unlike in the regular Digimon series, Appli Monsters will feature a new story, where smartphone apps will be the key, with a living AI called “Appli Monsters,” also known as “Appmon.” They say that there are as many Appmon as there are apps in the world.
