4/10 ~ taking the sol away from Digimon
This version of Digimon was just so mediocre, the stylistic choices the artist made were just so generic for all the charecters it was just kinda odd. The music overall was just not it and really didn't feel like Digimon to me (for reference ive watched everything from 01 to season 6, and played many of the games). Even the fights for the most part were not even that great.
Im not really sure why they made this a movie, iit just felt like when an anime airs now a day and has a super long episode to kick of a regular season. Im not really sure what I expected with a title like "reunion" but thats really all it was, there wasnt really a plot, or any real antagonist, the story was pretty non existent... and what happened to the 02 characters... just…

Original DigiDestined Are Back
digimon adventure tri chapter 1: reunion Is a movie made for those that are nostalgic for the original Digimon series, and that is all right because I am a fan.
It is fun to see what the characters are up to now after everything that has happened and how they are growing distant from each other until a certain events happen.
The characters are mostly spot on and feels like they are building on what we saw in the TV show.
The character dynamic is still good and they still work great as a team. and two hot headed leaders are still fun to watch Having their rivalry against each other.
and the two siblings that constantly have to look after their big brothers is still sad.
The Digimon look great and still have they personalities from the show, and still as c…

--------------------------------------
Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good evening, and good night ladies and gentlemen. Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit one of the classic anime series of the '90s - Digimon Adventure. But this isn't your daddy's Digimon, no sir. This is Digimon Adventure tri. 1: Saikai, a reboot of the series that's been given a fresh coat of paint for a new generation.
In this first installment of the six-part series, we catch up with our beloved DigiDestined six years after their original adventure in the Digital World. But all is not well, as a new threat looms on the horizon and the Digimon begin to act strangely.
While it's great to see our old friends again and relive some of the nostalgia of the origin…

In case you're confused like me, the 4 episodes are a movie. Not sure how that works but okay.
The best part of this was the opening and ending themes, but everything else was mediocre.
Pros:
- The best version of Butterfly and Brave Heart, and if you like I Wish, that too.
- New adult versions of the digidestined/destined children
- Waves of nostalgia
Cons: - You call this a plot?
- Taichi's character development from past seasons just got trashed for some contrived "tension"
I came hoping to see my favourite characters in a new adventure with the partners they had lost, but what I got was just disappointment.

Backstory of Digimon Adventure tri. The Digimon tri was original to be a 26ep anime, but then it got canceled and turn into a movie however it's not gonna be a movie but 6 movie with 4-5ep in it making it a 26ep anime.
Digimon Adventure tri. 1: Saikai, was a decent start of the tri series, it first gives you an nostalgia song of Butterfly as an op and shows you the original characters as teenagers. To be honest most of the character design as ok, but they look very dull and boring, it feels like the animates just copy and past the faces to other characters. An example will be when Taichi and Yamato were at the ferry their face looks the same, unlike the Digimon Adventure (1999) were all the character has unique faces and you can easily who the character is by their faces, but in tri every…

A little bit of context: Digimon fan since I was 7 years old. I'm 28 now. I've watched everything there is up to this point and also played a few Digimon games.
This is a good movie but there's still a few aspects that I want to mention:
1) CGI is present during digivolution sequences and in my opinion it looks bad
2) this movie has no love whatsoever for Gomamon and it's sad
3) it took me a few minutes to get used to the new character design and animation style. The only character that feels immediately as himself is Kochiro (Izzy).
4) The soundtrack is eargasm after eargasm of nostalgia. As far as I am aware, all the songs used are remakes of the original ones from 21 years ago (I'm counting from the time I'm making this review).
5) The final battle felt too rushed. A bunch of…

This movie leans a bit too heavily on nostalgia for its appeal, but it still mostly finds a way to make it work. Everybody's grown up just a bit more, but they're all fundamentally the same. Tai's still the star of his soccer team, Matt's the frontman for his band, Mimi's living in America, Joe's being awkward and trying to become a doctor, Izzy's an expert in computers, TK's living with his divorced mom, and Kari is nice. Every member of the second team that wasn't part of the first is ominously written out of the story during the opening scenes. That basically tells you the direction this movie will go in: Tai and Matt are the solution to everything. Granted, that's exactly how the original anime usually turned out, so it's not too much of a surprise. The new theme song is somehow both a…

I was putting off watching this until all the films were out (which is still a long ways away), but Wal*Mart had the DVD/Blu-Ray for a price I couldn't pass up. Too bad the internet already spoiled quite a bit of the future story events for me. :(
Let's start with what I didn't like because the list is much shorter ;). I liked the opening theme as much as any of the US/English openings, but wish they would have used Butter-Fly since they used other songs (in Japanese) from the Japanese series in the English release, and it would have been a nice tribute to the late Kōji Wada, since he passed before the English Dub was released. This series is definitely a tribute to the long-time fans, a lot of whom (myself included) think that the Japanese had a better OST than we did. The other thing th…

ENG: see this movie brings a great nostalgia, a very good feeling watching the first few minutes to the sound of music (in a new way) Butter-fly! By the way, the sound part in general is absolutely great. In the animation part, it is also seen that Toei did a great job, with very smooth scenes and good use in scenes using animated 3D, the great highlight goes even to the digievolutions and the action scenes (some people may be shocked at the new look of the characters, it's understandable, but they did it in a very competent way). The main plot is still not very clear, mainly because it does not know how much of the Digimon Adventure 2 this film considered (until the emperor digimon? Malomyotismon existed, and if so, was until his defeat?), at least the story is cool and it is also develop…

I'll be honest, the first OVA is just....okay. there's problems with it, but it never reaches a really low point. if this was just a thing here it would have been fine. However the problems become more and more apparent as you advance, every ova just gets worse and worse. You can tell the people behind this don't understand how the franchise works, or know much about the characters. and it's just sad. The designs are honestly really bland, while Nakatsuru's original designs were charming, there's nothing of that here. the soundtrack has some nice remixes but it's honestly nothing new. overall this is just medioce, and sadly it just gets worse from here.

Ugh, this was so disappointing. First of all, with eight characters and only seventeen episodes I really hated and resented introducing Mei. She's boring, pointless, and only takes away from the people I actually care about. Same for the secret agent people, they just convoluted the plot and kept important information secret for the stupidest reasons possible.
I'm also fine with a slower, more thoughtful pace. But it felt like there was so much filler nonsense that I should have skipped a few episodes. A lot of plot hangups and character development also depends on the cliche of people being to stupid to talk to each other for five seconds. Finishing this felt like a chore and punishment for having fond childhood memories.
There was some good however, except it's hard to describe becaus…

Ok, assisti na estréia em 2015, mas venho escrever o Review só agora hahaha
Eu não tinha muitas expectativas quanto ao filme, apenas gostaria de um desfecho ou explicações de como como chegaram até o epílogo de 2027.
Ok, foi uma bela introdução, possíveis conflitos com Royal Knights, Homeostasis e Yggdrasil.
As lutas ficaram muito fluidas e dinâmicas, o redesign deles caiu muito bem para o apresentado, mas perdemos cerca de 1 hora só para ver o choro do Taichi. Problemas apenas na coragem de Taichi, tudo isso para alguém que se tornará membro da ONU? Que exagero...
Os demais personagens continuam os mesmos, com suas atitudes óbvias de sempre...
Muito cedo para falar da história... Mas me foi algo vago, sem pé sem cabeça...
A Trilha Sonora... Não suporto mais ouvir a velha trilha sonora…

Notification:
I'll be running these reviews for animes that don't have enough substance for a big review.
I'll try to keep this review short,there isn't much to say anyway.
Story is your usual Digimon story. A group of kids, named digidestined, and their digimons,i guess that's a correct plural form, save the world from Digimon who are being controlled by some evil thingy. In this case the evil thingy is a maddening virus. Characters are as they were in the original Digimon anime albeit teenagers, which means more annoying. There's some interesting characters conflicts and a big fat stupid one between Tai and Yamato. Art is horrendous and somehow manages to be worse than the original anime that came out long ago. Songs are ok, es…

Story 10/10: Digimon Tri is exactly what the Digimon fandom needed. Back in Digimon Adventure 02, when they brought in a new generation of Digidestined, whenever one of the original characters showed up in an episode for a crucial plot point, we saw exactly how much they took their crest to heart and how that helped shape them as they grew up; here in Tri, we see the original Digidestined start to struggle with who they once were and who they will become. From the way part 1 and 2 came out, it seems that each part is going to feature 2 characters per part struggling to remember and recapture what their crest once represented about themselves. Something to know going in, they use the first part of episode one to "subtly" let you know that the new digidestined from Adventure 02 WILL NOT be f…

Warning: minor spoilers ahead
Digimon was one of my favorite TV shows when I was younger, and as huge fan of the series I was in the opposite side from my collegues, Pokemon and Dragon Ball fans. Adventure is an amazing show, with very mature themes in the plot and great characters. The sequel, Adventure 02 was not so good, with lame new characters and an awful ending. Tamers was so called Digimon 3 by TV marketing, but is a spin--off (a great one to be fair), so Digimon Adventure has ended with a bitter taste in the fans mouth.
So I received the news of a new Digimon Adventure with great expectation. Despite the awful ending, was a serie that I cared so much when child. And also, I was sick for a better ending as well.
This first movie/OVA was a great surprise, and made me fell in lo…

:Minor spoiler included:
I actually made an account just to express my disappointment with the series. Overall, I'd have to say it was underwhelming given the hype that built up to this. People expected more of the story and character development, and it disappointed. Oh lord did it. Perhaps it was due to overhype or just a plot line that no one was expecting in general, the story fell flat on its ass. The once joyful and cheery characters of Tai and Joe were pushed to polar opposites. Yes, people might say "Oh it's part of growing up". What people don't get that the whole point of this series is to give the people who watched this series growing up, a sense of nostalgia. A poor attempt of giving the movie some emotional depth ultimately backfiring into this, droll. I had high hopes, and…

If you don't wanna read, here's a shameless self-promotional link to the video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbYiXE3HvYY
I was extremely excited for this film, mainly because I am a Digimon fan and when I saw the promotional poster for this new movie I was hyped. And I watched it the day it was released, but at the time I was a bit biased towards the film because I of the nostalgia. So after waiting a while and rewatching it a couple of times, the questions now stand. Is this film any good and does it actually live up to the hype?
Please do keep in mind that I will be judging this movie not only as a start point for the rest of the films but also as a standalone one.
Without further ado, let's get started.
I'm going to keep the synopsis short and brief so that I can get int…

Ahh digimon. This might be a but biased, because digimon adventure 1 was my favorite tv show when I was little. I was really obsessed to say the least, so I'll love it no matter what.
It's very nostalgic because they use the same voices and music, and that just makes me very happy.
As for the storyline, I can't grade it too hig because I don't really know what's happening. Everything is still very much a surpise. It seems so focus on the original chosen 8 children. Which I love, because the adventure 2 children didn't do much for me, I especially hated davis. So although I don't mind that, I do admit that it's weird that they are not mentioned.. At the same time, it's clear they will show up in one of the episodes.
What is so great is that adventure was a…

This Digimon series returns to beloved characters with a greater sense of maturity. It focuses on the real-world lives of the original Digimon Adventures human cast rather than showcasing Digimon transformations. The storytelling presents a strong beginning, but the story is incomplete, leaving plenty of room for Acts Two and Three. The animation is so far the greatest improvement, particularly during fight sequences. While the main stage is the human world, the presence of the Digital world is still felt in a more subtle sense, hinting at greater complexity to come. If you're a fan of Digimon Adventures 1 & 2 and enjoy a little slice-of-life alongside your topnotch monster fights, you should already be watching this.

An "Okay" Review for Digimon tri pt.1
I leave Digimon tri feeling disappointed but relieved. At the halfway point I wanted to shut it off, play some XCOM instead because I was really unmoved by it all. It felt slow, it felt like the characters had gotten bland after years away and I was pulling it apart more. The soundtrack was bugging the shit out of me I kept picking out moments were the music would ruin moments and seemed really out of place. I wasn't amazed by the animation either, it's not by any stretch of the imagination bad but it never amazed me and I was just waiting for something to remind me of why I liked Digimon in the first place. Why I watched the show as a kid with eyes glued to the tv in amazement or later as a teen still finding enjoyment in it. I was geared up to really…
