Synopsis

When a group of seven children go to summer camp, the last thing that they expect is snow falling in July. In the confusion that follows this phenomenon, they each receive an odd device that transports them to another world. As soon as they wake up in this new world, they encounter strange creatures who call themselves "Digimon." The Digimon tell them that they've landed in the "Digital World," far from home.

With only the Digimon and the "Digivices" as protection, the seven children set off to find their way home and learn the reason why they were brought here. Led by the impulsive Taichi Yagami and his hungry Digimon partner Agumon, this group will have to fight unknown evils as they discover more about this outlandish Digital World.

Hello, my dear reviewes reader. Today, we're going to talk about an anime that's been around for quite some time now. I'm talking about Digimon Adventure, an anime that's been entertaining kids and adults alike for over two decades.

Set in a digital world, Digimon Adventure follows the adventures of a group of young children who find themselves transported to a parallel universe filled with all sorts of fantastic creatures. With their own digital monsters by their side, the children must navigate this new world and fight against evil forces that threaten to destroy it.

Now, I must admit that when it ... comes to anime, Digimon Adventure is a bit more aimed at children. However, that doesn't mean that adults can't enjoy it too. After all, who doesn't love the idea of having their own digital monster companion to go on adventures with?

The animation in Digimon Adventure is top-notch, and the storyline is engaging enough to keep you hooked for hours on end. While it may not be as complex or deep as some of the other anime out there, it's definitely a fun watch and a classic in its own right.

But if I were to attempt it, I might say something along the lines of, 'Well, isn't this just a jolly good anime with its fantastical creatures and adventure-filled storyline? It's almost enough to make me want to dust off my old Digivice and join in on the fun.'

Overall, I'd give this anime an 8/10. It's definitely worth watching if you're a fan of the fantasy genre, and its endearing characters and iconic monsters will make you nostalgic for the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons.

--------------------------------------

Halo, pembaca ulasan yang tercinta. Hari ini, kita akan membicarakan tentang anime yang sudah ada sejak lama. Saya berbicara tentang Digimon Adventure, sebuah anime yang sudah menghibur anak-anak dan orang dewasa selama lebih dari dua dekade.

Terletak di dunia digital, Digimon Adventure mengikuti petualangan sekelompok anak muda yang tiba-tiba tertransportasi ke dunia paralel yang penuh dengan berbagai makhluk fantastis. Dengan monster digital mereka sendiri di sisi mereka, anak-anak harus menavigasi dunia baru ini dan melawan kekuatan jahat yang mengancam untuk menghancurkannya.

Sekarang, saya harus mengakui bahwa ketika datang ke anime, Digimon Adventure sedikit lebih ditujukan untuk anak-anak. Namun, itu tidak berarti bahwa orang dewasa tidak bisa menikmatinya juga. Lagipula, siapa yang tidak suka memiliki teman monster digital mereka sendiri untuk berpetualang bersama?

Animasi di Digimon Adventure sangat bagus, dan alur ceritanya cukup menarik untuk membuat Anda terpaku selama berjam-jam. Meskipun mungkin tidak sekompleks atau sedalam beberapa anime lain di luar sana, itu pasti menyenangkan untuk ditonton dan merupakan klasik tersendiri.

Tetapi jika saya harus mencoba, mungkin saya akan mengatakan sesuatu seperti, 'Nah, apakah ini bukan anime yang sangat menyenangkan dengan makhluk-makhluk fantastisnya dan alur cerita yang penuh petualangan? Hampir cukup membuat saya ingin mengeluarkan kembali Digivice saya yang lama dan bergabung dalam kesenangan.'

Secara keseluruhan, saya akan memberikan anime ini skor 8/10. Ini pasti layak ditonton jika Anda penggemar genre fantasi, dan karakter-karakter yang menyenangkan dan monster-monster ikoniknya akan membuat Anda merasa nostalgia pada masa lalu ketika menonton kartun Sabtu pagi.

Digimon Adventure

Either you loved Digimon, Pokemon, or both. For me, it was without a doubt Digimon and with this season my love for this Anime began. Each day before school, I watched the episodes and kept listening to the music over and over again. That was undoubtedly a beautiful childhood, unfortunately, childhood memories are always different.
That's why I sacrificed my childhood memories to watch that show again. This resulted in a very unpleasant disaster because as expected, it's far worse than you can imagine.
For kids it is still highly recommended, children are not interested in anything but an emotional story and that is exactly ...

Digimon Adventure is the first show from my childhood that I've given the time and effort to rewatch and has dissappointed me massively.
While a lot of this dissappointment might come from the fact that I watched the Latin American dub of the show (which is not how I usually watch other shows, and is really badly produced), I still can't imagine how anybody over the age of 15 could seriously enjoy this show as a whole, unlike other "childhood anime" like Dragon Ball, Yu-gi-Oh, or Pokemon. Let me explain:

Back when I was a kid, I remember liking Digimon. I watched the first 4 seasons ... after school everyday and then I grew out of it, but my memories of the show were pretty much nonexistent, unlike other shows I watched back then.

I remembered the little bat hamster becoming an angel and thinking it was ridiculous but also really cool. I remembered Tai and Matt(Yamato) being sort of the main guys because their Digimons had more evolutions. I remembered the cat Digimon. I remembered lots of little details like these, but when thinking about the big picture, my mind was blank.

This didn't happen with any other similar animes from my childhood, so when I saw 2019 was the 20 year anniversary of the franchise I thought "cool, a great excuse to watch it today". So I did, and so, I found why I didn't remember anything.

The story is completely forgettable unless you rewatch it countless times. It doesn't get any more complicated than "Bad Digimon wants to destroy the world, because they are evil, and we have to fight it, because we are good", then just repeat that like 4 times with increasing scales of power but no change in motivation for either side.

It is also 54 episodes but somehow manages to have an extremely rushed pacing, making every battle (which pretty much every episode has one) follow the same order of events: Bad Digimon appears, one or all of the good Digimon fight it and they either win in one attack or Digivolve through the Power of Crying or Shouting or Friendship or whatever you wanna call it, then attack once again and win. And when I mean once, I really do mean once.

Well, it is a show for children, right, I shouldn't expect anything more.
The thing is that would be fine if the art was any good.

Digimon Adventure is what I think when somebody mentions Toei in a bad way. While I'm not familiar with the quality of Toei shows of the time, Digimon has to be up there in the reuse of animations. Some are nice (Digievolutions) but most are just not that good and they all get old really fast. I really can't think of any episode in the whole show where there wasn't something lazy or ugly other than maybe the episode where Tai goes back to Japan for a day before going back to the Digimon World. To make the comparison everyone makes, Pokemon looks better than Digimon, not by much but still.

And because there has to be a battle every single episode, the characters never quite get realized in a satisfactory manner. Yes, Izzy(Koushirou) is adopted and has a complex about it, but it just ends in him telling his parents he knows and they cry for like 2 seconds. Yes, Joe feels uncertain about studying what his parents want him to but it never gets explored and he just "finds his own path". Yes, Matt(Yamato) feels he isn't that good of brother to TK(Takeru) but he just has a revelation and basically talks himself out of his insecurity for no reason.

This is, in my opinion, the biggest dissappointment of the series. A show for children can have things that appeal to adults without losing its "for kids" focus. Digimon Adventure isn't that, and hurts itself for trying to be that.

I could go on but you get the point.

Overall, don't watch this show, not worth it at all. There is nothing here for an adult, and I personally wouldn't want a kid of my own to see it, with or without me. There's better kid shows out there that just want to be dumb kid shows and sell toys, and there's better kid shows out there that have some appeal for adults too.
Soundtrack is great though.
