Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters (Japanese: デジモンユニバース アプリモンスターズ Hepburn: Dejimon Yunibāsu Apuri Monsutāzu?) is a Japanese multimedia project created by Toei Company, Dentsu and Bandai Namco Holdings, under the pseudonym Akiyoshi Hongo. It is the eighth official installment of the Digimon franchise, but also considered as its own separate franchise from the original. It is also the first official installment of the Digimon franchise after WiZ became wholly owned subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings on September 30, 2016. An Anime adaptation of the franchise was animated by Toei Animation, produced by Dentsu, directed by Gō Koga and written by Yōichi Katō (Mushibugyo, Yo-kai Watch) with character designs by Kenichi Ōnuki (Gundam Build Fighters). It began airing on all TXN stations in Japan on October 1, 2016, replacing Time Travel Girl in its original time slot.
The series' theme revolves around technological singularity and artificial intelligence, a theme shared with the Appmons and the dangers of technology when used unwisely.
In the year 2045, technology has finally evolved to a degree of prosperity for the world. The World Wide Web has become a world for "Appli Monsters" (アプリモンスターズ Apurimonsutāzu?) or "Appmons", artificially intelligent beings born within mobile apps. The series focuses on Haru Shinkai, an everyday Junior High Student. One day, he discovers an Appmon lurking in his Smartphone, which reveals himself to be Gatchmon. He came to his world just to run away from a guy who is chasing him. But when the two found out that the supercomputer Leviathan goes berserk and creates viruses to turn all Appmons evil, it's up for Haru and Gatchmon to restore the balance between their two worlds.
