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…

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…

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…

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…

I am by no means a snob about any aspects of anime (evident by my average score) , and I loved Digimon as a kid. Watched every episode and movie, and had all the cards. And I am all for blinding myself with nostalgia, but this is a monstrosity of epic proportions, even going into it with zero expectations.
From the start we have Tai. Yes he looks like Tai, but apparently in the 6 year hiatus he has encountered some, as of yet unknown, tragic event that caused all aspects of his personality to shrivel into nothingness.
And this goes for all of the characters. Yes, they look like older versions of the characters, but maintain zero percent of their original personality, or any personality for that matter. Of course you would expect that they had matured and changed over the years, and it w…

If you like Digimon Adventure 01 and 02, this is not for you. It spends a large amount of time doing absolutely nothing. The first episode has maybe 5 minutes of plot, at most, and it continues along this plodding pace for most of the movie. Even the action seems slow.
This is apparent in the characters as well, where it builds artificial tension by portraying Tai as having PTSD without actually explaining why other than still shots of destroyed buildings. I think I know what they were trying to go for, but they executed this TERRIBLY.
This laziness in storytelling carries over into the art and animation, where half of the shots are still frames, or still frames with just the main characters running. It looks like they ran out of the animation budget 5 minutes into the movie. Speaking…

Pros:
While many people seem to disagree with me, I really enjoyed the new art style. There are a few scenes with strangely drawn faces, I'll admit that, but for the most part it's fantastic. I love how fluid it is and how the colors look. It reminds me of the animation from the previous movies (Diablomon).
The characters and voices are great. All the same actors as before, and I'm also okay with their decision to make Taichi hesitant to get involved in all of this again. Bringing back his old reservations from the first season could be fun to work with, as long as they don't over do it. I also loved the new renditions of the OST. The addition of instruments makes a very fun sound.
Fight scenes are great, and I LOVE that they don't have the Digimon screaming out each and every attack th…

*It's recommended that you've seen at least the very first Digimon series to get yourself introduced to the characters, this review also contains some points revealed in the movie, so it's advisable to only read it after watching the movie.*
Digimon tri: Saikai (Saikai literally means reunion/meeting). Probably one of the most anticipated entry to the Digimon series ever since it was announced.
As part of my childhood I was pretty hyped about it turned out... just okay.
In this series we get the reunion of the DigiDestined (including a new one) alluring to the respective title, who gather to combat a new menace that's surging upon the real world : Infected Digimon (as refered to a secret agent group also introducted in these series)
Straight from the start, I started smiling listening t…

This is my first review, and please correct me if i have write somethings wrong (_ _)
Tbh, i wacthed it with a high expectation and have to disappointed. You can say, Taichi and friends more badass when they are kids. And the bromance bait so strong with Taichi-Yamato pair (they always do, but this time they are a young adult man and that's kinda makes me giggle. Oh my brain has been infected with some bl ideas *slapped* X)) sorry, its out of topic.
The opening song, i think the original one is the best. Rest of all, i 'm agreed with some reviews said :)

Where do I even start with this, just watched the first film of this series and man do I love it!
The Story is superb in my opinion the first film is called "reunion" or Saikai in Japanese if you will, and it is just that, the reunion of friends who haven't seen each other in many years, the story takes you back to the days you were just a kid and watching Digimon Adventure on the TV. They made such an amazing job on the story and gave everyone their deserved time, and wow, have they changed growing up, I'm not a crier but some moments were hard to keep the tears and memories back from my childhood. So I personally think they made a superb job with the first episode! 11/10. For the purpose of the episodes(first film) they made a great job on the story re-introducing all the old beloved ch…

Well where to begin? Firstly Digimon adventure tri movie 1 is more of a set up film in my opinion, the story wasn't clearly explained and they weren't clear on what happened prior to this film and for that reason I gave it a seven. although there is areas that need to be improved.
The Art is a drastic improvement from the classic series they look like actual teenagers and the animation for the digivolution was improved as well. the digimon art is just as good if not better then its classic counter part and really helps bring out their personalities.
The music in this film brought back alot of memories and made me smile several times such as when "Butter-fly the original Digimon series intro was played. the battle music and digivolution music it made it feel like an adventure and i for on…

I'm going to be perfectly honest, as children television shows go, particularly anime, Digimon is one of the best examples of going well beyond just selling the audience a silly toy or other apparels. In comparison to the obvious "inspiration" that is Pokemon, it was clear Digimon's story had far more thought put into it, but there are reasons to why Pokemon is more relevant than Digimon in today's pop culture, but this isn't the place to talk about that.
In a "surprising" announcement made over a year ago, Toei animation confirmed another Digimon series in the works. The real surprise, however, was that this new series is to be a direct sequel to Digimon Adventure 02.
I'll be honest, after the disaster that was both Sailor Moon Crystal and Dragonball Super, my expectations were tempere…

OHHHH MYYYYY LOVEEEEEE
I must admit. When Butter-fly started playing, i really felt like crying. It's been like what, 15 years? Damn, to think that the me from that time would stop whatever he was doing just to sit in front of the TV and watch the new Digimon episode with a smile the size of this world and the next...
... well, it's certainly a tremendous trip down memory lane, in more ways than one. And one that i end up cherishing a lot since it connects me to a period of great happiness in my life. That's what childhood is or at least that's how it should be for any child. An overhwhelmingly sweet moment in our way too complicated lives when we are blessed with an endless avalanche of happiness and dreams and innocence. When we are the most genuine and the emotions we feel have the m…

Like others, I was pretty hyped up about the new Digimon and anticipating how it would turn out. Suffice to say, although the look is different, the feel is still there.
I think there are more people familiar with Digimon than not. But for those who aren't, what's always separated Digimon from the often compared-to Pokemon is how they approach their material. Aside from the fact that Digimon has approached darker and more complex themes across its seasons, part of its appeal has also been its focus on the characters. Battles and character quirks are perhaps done better in Pokemon, but for Digimon, much of its best content centers around inner struggles that characters have and their growth from dealing with them. The events in the Digimon world usually parallel and reflect these struggle…

In Summer 2014, Toei Animation surprised the Digimon Fanbase by announcing a sequel to the original Digimon TV series. Digimon Adventure, as it is officially called, aired in 1999 and became an internationally well-known anime that spawned several films and spin-offs with the latest being Digimon Xros Wars in 2010. Other than Digimon Adventure and its direct sequel, Digimon Adventure 02, all Digimon series take place in separate universes. This new film, however, plays three years after the events of 02.
Some time after its initial announcement, Digimon Adventure tri was revealed to be a six-part film series rather than a TV anime. Moreover, its release date was pushed from summer to November 2015. Needless to say, fans were disappointed by the fact that it would air in November and worri…

Considering this would be the biggest thing I've been waiting for...
It feels some what a disappointment with the lack of detail on the characters and the overall art the episodes...
Even though the Art is a let down, I couldn't be more happier to see this..
From watching it as a kid and having a digivice, i was extremely happy to watch it.
Truthfully the only disappointment that I really feel besides the lack of detail in the art, is the fact that we have to wait next year for the second part...
It felt too short to be honest and needed a longer introduction into the continuing lives of the DigiDestined.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but the truth is that I'm pretty disapointed. I think by now we all know that Toei animation has been doing a very mediocre job with their animation, but this time they managed to hit a new low. Digimon seems to be suffering from a worse fate than Sailor Moon Crystal and Dragon Ball Super.
SPOILERS AHEAD, IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOVIE THEN STOP READING NOW. Unless you don't care about spoilers, that's fine too.
So lets start this and see why.
Story: 7
Seems pretty average so far and I was actually disapointed with some scenes, said scenes should have made use of the nostalgia factor and made for some great emotional moments, like the digidestined reunion with their partner digimons, it would only be logical, right? After all, they spent so much time w…

I can't express my disappointment in this. Maybe my expectations were too high coming into this, although I lowered it after hearing some bad things about the studio that produced this, but it's unbelievable how some aspects seem to be WORSE than the show from ~15 years ago.
The story is interesting so far. We start out with the re-introduction of our characters excluding the Digimon 02 characters. (What happened to them anyways? What were those scenes in the beginning supposed to mean? We still have a few more parts left so I won't comment on it for now) Anyways there's also this secret agent group whom we'll hopefully get to know more about. We don't have a lot of information about what's going on and I think it's okay to leave it like that since this part is probably supposed to serve…

Ah Digimon. Almost anyone who grew up watching anime will heard of this from somewhere. Even if you haven’t, Digimon is a series that was well-known when it first debuted. (and still is!) The franchise was introduced to the world that focuses on entities, known as Digital Monsters. These creatures are made of data that exists in their own parallel world known as the Digital World. However, their universe also crosses over the real world where chosen humans (known as Digidestined) are partnered with certain Digimon to fight against evil.
First things out of the way, this movie takes place after the second season also known as Digimon Adventures Season 2. Previous knowledge of the franchise is important to gain a better experience from watching the movie. This is because the kids that we’v…
