DATS24 said: well, it's kinda sad that ppl like never ending silly adventure with stupid character resetting over the time and never grow up more than an actual series that have an ending and the characters do grow up Yea, I like Digimon too, it's a good show. But as said, being a non-continues show makes it more forgettable than Pokemon who just continues... people around the world would know what Pokemon is before they know what Digimon is. (or not even know of Digimon at all, like that one guy in this thread asking if he should watch Digimon before watching this... tells you it's his first time looking into Digimon) |

| Wow, where the heck did all the complaining come from. Considering what I thought might happen with Toei, this was everything I could have hoped for. The only critiques I'd have would be the lack of mention of what is up with the season 2 cast (which may be covered next movie) and the lack of communication in the end fight. Digimon aren't Pokemon, they can talk. But honestly this was downright amazing in terms of a Digimon sequel. The cast is older and they are facing things more seriously. Monster battles in the city are a big deal with major consequences so it's good that Tai is actually dealing with those concerns. I mean come on that Greymon vs Kuwagamon first fight was nostalgia gold. And yeah they are tackling the shipping wars head on. Also interesting to see Joe apparently hitting his academic ceiling here. He may have to face the reality that he just can't be a doctor and has to find a different route. |
srwgfan said: Ah it's finally here! :) just finished watching it and there are some complaints that i would like to point it out. 1. Characters Design I don't like it very much i was hoping Toei would hire Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru back and letting him doing the art for this sequel :/ Oh well.. i guess it's impossible now :( It might take a while to get used to it. But i'm glad that they didn't alter the original Digimon designs though :) 2. Missing Shouting Power Attacks and Missing Digimon Hurt/Cries sound effects I wonder if it's just me that noticed something is missing during the fights? I would be lying to myself if i didn't felt anything strange during the fights. Watching Digimon fighting is awesome! but it felt really really weird when the Chosen Ones Digimons isn't shouting it's power attacks like it used to =.= And let's not forget about the Hurt/Cries sound effects it's missing as well :( Definitely felt that it was rushed. It's so freaking weird that whenever The Chosen Ones Digimons join in the fight and they automatically became muted :( EXCEPT Togemon she did indeed shout her Power Attack Chiku Chiku Bam Bam thank god! :) Besides of that, all i heard was punching,kicking stomping,ramming into objects, explosion sound effects. I really hope they won't screw this up! =.= I totally agreed with the shouting attacks being missing as I pointed out in page 4. I mean come on. For the last 15 years they have always been doing it and now it's gone? The game, the movies, the series, all have those shouting attacks and cries. Now it's just like a still animation with no sound effect. |

| the pacing and feel of the anime is obviously more mature than 01 and 02, which i love. the design and animation styles take some getting used to. i felt like the fan service was a little bit over the top and i wish there was a little more reveal on what exactly went on with the 02 kids, and i could care less about the new girl, but overall really enjoyed it. it's too bad we have to wait another couple months for the next installment :( guess I'll finish rewatching Tamers in the mean while.. |
 |
| I enjoyed it. The new character designs didn't bother me. I did have a problem with the final fight. It felt rushed. I wanted to see the new transformations and I wanted some voices. The Taichi inner conflict stuff was dragged out a bit too much. 7/10 |

MrKai23 said: I don't know how they screwed up so bad. Bad animation, bad writing and the fights were also bad. Omegamon and the Utlimate forms were a DEUS machine. Like they put no thought into this when they made it. Digimon seasons aren't perfect but they were enjoyable. Tri just made me cringe. Did you even watch Bokura no War Game? They had Ultimate evolutions long before and Omegamon first appeared during the movie and even made a second appearance on Diablomon's Strikes Back though this one is questionable considering the chances of it getting retconned. |

| Whining is very funny. |
 |
| Damage control is just as funny. |
| Saw the movie in the theaters and then watched it again to see if I misunderstood anything. For the most part I liked it, but there were some things I did dislike... Evolution sequences: For me, I didn't like them much at all. I know they were trying to update it and make it cooler....but I kinda didn't mind the original evolution sequences. I guess I just prefer a dark background as opposed to a bright one. Attack calls: This is minor, but other than Togemon's "Chiku Chiku Bang Bang", I missed hearing everyone else's attack calls. Voices: I didn't care for some of the voices for the kids...mainly Hikari and Sora for some reason. The others I didn't mind so much...but still miss the original voice cast for the kids. It was strange hearing AiM performing the ending (I didn't like it, personally and prefer the original version), but not reprising her role as Mimi. 2005 vs 2015: I know this movie should be taking place in 2005, but at some points it felt more like 2015. I can't pinpoint it exactly...but mostly the phones. Those good streams they were getting on their phones just surprised me, given that wi-fi being everywhere wasn't really much of a thing here until maybe a couple of years ago. I also didn't know that phones in 2005 (even here in Japan) had a camera function...but who knows, I could be wrong. The clothes at times felt more 2015 than 2005 as well (I'm looking at you Takeru and Yamato lol)...but yeah, this is just me being nitpicky. 02 cast: Okay, unlike some, I liked the 02 kids. I didn't have a problem with them being defeated or whatnot and I'm hoping that it gets explained and that for the next few films they cast for those characters and their Digimon (and here's hoping they keep their original seiyuu like the Adventure Digimon...although it'd be weird to have Urawa Megumi back for Armadimon and not Iori...), but I had a super MAJOR problem with the fact that the kids themselves didn't mention them at all, especially Takeru and Hikari. Daisuke is in the same year as Takeru and Hikari. Iori and Miyako live in the same building as Takeru. Ken is their friend. Daisuke and Hikari's paths home are the same, just as Iori, Miyako, and Takeru's are the same. All of them would be in junior high school, minus Iori who'd still be an elementary school student. I mean, what the heck? This is the only real legit problem I had with the movie, actually. It also bothered me that Takeru and Hikari weren't with the others for that battle the other 02 kids were in. Where were they? Why weren't they there? I know that this is part 1 of 6, so I'm willing to give this a partial pass. Suspension of disbelief: Koushirou having his own office... lol I don't like it, but I don't dislike it either. Just surprised me. Other than these things, I'm sort of okay with the film. I really liked Taichi in this film. It is something to think about. Yes, their Digimon are fighting to help others, but in such circumstances, there'll always be innocent victims in all of it because of the destruction caused. I can understand how bad he must feel being an indirect cause of that. Of course he probably didn't think about it, as his main adventure was in the Digital World and even in the real world, now that I think about it, had he ever witnessed those being harmed from their battles before? I don't recall it at all. Either way, I like how this just shows how much Taichi has matured and grown. He's not all, jump in and fight now, and think later. People going on about Jou...well, I had no problem with his role for this film and being busy. He's in his last year of high school and preparing for university entrance exams. He was also preparing for junior high entrance exams back in 01 (which isn't common at all, unless going to a private junior high school, which he was for 02) and probably studying a lot in 02 for his his high school entrance exam. Here in Japan they take that very very seriously. He's also intent on becoming a doctor and has to get into a GOOD university and university entrance exams are pretty challenging...so I had no problem with Jou being busy studying as I predicted this would be the case regardless given his age and such and was just expecting it anyway. Oh yeah, I also liked the Koushirou x Mimi stuff, but I'm being a bit hypocritical since that's my all-time favorite pairing period. Thank you love-letter drama from 15 years ago for really getting me into that pairing. lol It's just so cute seeing Koushirou in this way. He's being indirectly direct, if that makes any sense as the others seemed to have picked up on it. lol Wonder where they'll go with that... FlareKnight said: Yes, I felt this was well-done, realistic, and believable. Most of their battles had been in the Digital World, not the real world. Mostly, things were taken care of or dealt with before anything truly major happened. Witnessing it just opened Taichi's eyes. But honestly this was downright amazing in terms of a Digimon sequel. The cast is older and they are facing things more seriously. Monster battles in the city are a big deal with major consequences so it's good that Tai is actually dealing with those concerns. Also interesting to see Joe apparently hitting his academic ceiling here. He may have to face the reality that he just can't be a doctor and has to find a different route. He's probably studying too much. We know he has to become a doctor though. I'm pretty sure that they're not ditching or ignoring the canon of Adventure 02 since the 02 kids do exist. |
| Nostalgic, but could be done better. 6/10 Nice job Toei |

| I have low standards probably, I loved it. Definitely had the feeling of a mature Digimon series, or at least tried to with Taichi struggling with the rammifications of his actions. They straight up destroyed the entire boardwalk they were on. You don't really think about the results of your actions because we could never cause destruction on such wide scale, but I understand why Taichi would suddenly freeze. |

Oh yeah, that part completely threw me off guard as well. Where the heck do you even get the money to rent that place and that equipment? I'm like "Why hasn't Koushiro gone to MIT yet?" When watching in the theater, I was confused there. I thought it was his father's office. So yeah, this kid actually has money somehow, unless his parents are funding it. That may also explain the plane fare thing too. He seemed nonplussed about it when checking prices. |
| I've watched the 4 parts of this movie (I guess) and, even It's nostalgic, It's well done, I like the charac-design and stuffs, the thing I don't really understand is why It has so few interactions between the heroes with their Digimons? The heroes are now teenagers and It's good to know what happens to them but It's like the entire "movie" is about them and not for the Digimons. It's kinda odd. Plus, nobody asks them what happen to the Digital World? Why the Digimons are come back? Did I miss something? |

| That wasn't bad at all. I didn't expect Alphamon to be big bad but damn. I was laughing when they fight him with their champion level digimon, the guy is mega level for god sake. The Omegamon vs Alphamon bit was pretty nice. I guess every Royal Knight members have make appearance in the anime form now. It pretty confusing though, whatever happened to 02 kids? Did this happen before that? Takeru and Hikaru's Digivice already changed form. |

| I wouldn't be surprised if they shoehorn in Gallantmon and other knights who made appearances in other series'. From the spoiler, I suspect we can expect a Imperialdramon vs Omegamon fight coming soon. |
| Great for nostalgia, but apart from that, it was mediocre. Tai's dilemma with the city getting destroyed was annoying since the flashback of debris and lack of human presence kept appearing in his mind. Yea, we get the point that the person with the cell phone and the bag could have died. When Tai was getting attacked in the city, it looked like the digimon was intentionally crashing into buildings rather than attacking him. Did anyone also notice the number of times smoke covered the screen? And how does an anime have horrible music placement? The music was off; I think it happened somewhere around part 2. The part when Koushirou was rambling off under the bridge while everyone was arguing and clearly talking over him was just bizarre. Was he that engrossed with his data? There were also times that his mouth was shut while he was talking. Nice job Toei. |

zefros said: And its just me that found Tailmon (Gatomon?) voice strange? her voice it's so low-pitched IIRC, Gatomon's voice in the original Japanese dub was low pitched to represent her maturity as a Champion level Digimon. English dub gave her a cute voice instead. |
|
| I was smiling so damn much when Agumon showed up. Argh why does Toei have to be such whores though, turning what's obviously intended as a TV series into a set of movies? Izzy gives no fucks about Tai and Matt fighting, but Joe having a girlfriend is of grave importance. |

Did you not realize that Alpha stopped the kuwagamon rampage and it never intended to destroy the city and killing the chosen children, its focus is Meikuumon after all. I won't say he stopped the rampage considering the digidestined beat them all but one. Beside shooting fucking laser at fucking kid is clearly not very nice. It doesn't justfiy anything it did. |

SweetKotomi said: I return feels trip to the nostalgic show most of us grew up watching. Nice to see Kuwagomon back. Like Greymon said, he was sure stronger, a lot stronger than when he faced him back in the Digi World. Kuwagomon took them fire ball blasts like they were nothing. I wonder why Taichi didn't tell Agumon to Digivolve to MetalGreymon at least, it appeared like Kuwagomon was slightly stronger than Greymon. One thing I noticed was Kari didn't have her new Digivice and Gatomon didn't evolve to Neferimon. She just stayed in her base form. Davis and friends got taken out too easily. Aren't Vemon+Wormon able to reach the level of like Omnimon when they combine their power? Also, Alphamon is said to be one of the Royal Knights, no wonder it was so strong.  Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is the strongest digimon but they need Omegamon for that to work. Even fighter mode is not a threat against Alphamon. |
