Digimon Adventure tri. 4: Soushitsu

So here we go...after a long await that is.

Story, since this continues off from the previous movies, I'm basing this off as a "per movie" ideal instead. I've enjoyed how Sora and Piyomon's relation came out in the end so I'd say this bit would be at least an 8 or 8.5, however there was quite the confusion and errors unfortunately making it at least a 6. Especially how Salamon can land a stun (lol). Also there was one moment with Sora with Gennai that made me laugh tremendously but that wasn't entirely necessary at all sadly. So I want to say, story wise, 7 ... in general with some doubts on some parts.

Art, by default in my aspect is 8, and it was very smooth so nonetheless, solid 8.

Sound, also like art, nothing has changed much but fitting to the scenes, so by my standard, a 7.

Character, oh boy. After the introduction from this movie, everything came to piece (except there's still a wonder about the other S2 Digidestined as briefly shown). I gave this a 7 with consideration of Sora and Piyomon's part. However Hime's factor so far, I must say "what did one expect of a reboot?", especially as an adult she is.
Surprisingly, Meiko's change did slightly boost my opinion on her for the better. And I was a bit awed with our stereotypical Taichi and Yamamoto bit with their partners under the sea moment, even with the reboot the bond was still intact, I'd like to give this part an 8. With all these factors, I have to say it was a 7 though.

Enjoyment, I've literally enjoyed this without thinking whatsoever, there was some emotional parts and funny bits, and surprisingly a 180 degree change on the entire franchise name (as a childhood series lol if you know what I mean). I've never regret watching all the parts so far even this one, I've enjoyed it and I did love it a lot. After all, this is what enjoyment means.

Overall, I would say a solid 8 with everything tying in together, and if you're out for the "perfect" title, this isn't the right one but if you're in for the enjoyment as I am, it should be decent and fair enough.

It has been a long wait since the third film of the Digimon Adventure tri. Franchise, Kokuhaku, has aired. As it ended on a cliffhanger, many Digimon fans could not wait to see what would happen next. Unfortunately, Soushitsu, the long-awaited fourth film, does not fulfil all expectations satisfyingly.

At its beginning, the film expands on concepts of the TV series and becomes very emotional while explaining the motives for the actions of a certain character. It manages to build onto loose ends without disturbing the continuity of previous instalments. As great as these few scenes may be, this high quality introduction unfortunately is the climax ... of the film and the following story lacks in comparison.

However, in no way is this supposed to imply the film becomes weak right away. Especially in the first quarter, there are numerous enjoyable character interactions which not only are nostalgic but also funny and charming. In general, the comedy in this film is superior to the others’ and even though the situation the children are in is much more dangerous than it was before, the humour does not feel off at any time. Sadly, the story progresses unfavourably as some events are unnecessary. They seem to only exist for the sake of fan service and while this is not inevitably a bad trait for a film, it does not contribute to anything in this case. Not much else can be said about the story this time as not much happens. Soushitsu’s first half is primarily for character interactions while the second has a few fights and relatively many evolution sequences.

There is a lack of action scenes but the few that do exist are animated massively better than those in the previous films. Due to what occurred in Kokuhaku, we are able to see some child level Digimon action and even though the power levels seem a bit unbelievable and odd at times, the enjoyment makes it absolutely excusable. Moreover, the children are actually fighting as well, but not in an unrealistic manner such as Masaru from Digimon Savers.

Soushitsu is supposed to focus on Sora and Piyomon. However, it does so unsatisfactorily. While it is commendable that the development of other characters is not neglected, Sora’s and Piyomon’s feels forced and out of place. Piyomon does not act like it was before and while it is obvious that it is confused due to the events in the previous film, it does not explain the behaviour towards its partner. Their story concludes tolerably but, at the same time, predictably and generic. Luckily, the other children and Digimon do not suffer from the same issue and are relatable as ever.

Compared to the other tri films, this is the weakest. It was not inherently awful but many events would have been much more satisfactory had they been handled differently – this especially applies to the end. That being said, I did enjoy Soushitsu a lot and even though it did have weaknesses, I do believe that the last two films are able to be of the same quality as the other three again.

Alrighty here we go!
I've been meaning to write a review for many but this one I HAD to do!

First off, I don't know why the movie is getting so much hate. I actually has more story, and action as compared to the previous ones. The previous three seemed to be an introduction to the characters, where if the audience being linked to were the previous viewers of the series the first movie was enough. Thus, the plot seems very dragged.

Finally in the fourth movie they decide to show the digital world, the characters in their original'we will to anything to protect the world' forms and ... their conscious finally waking up to realize that something is actually very wrong and SPOILER the wrong might be the person you decided to trust in the first 5 seconds.

The new characters are very amusing mind you, but Meiko seems very forced as a character and she has no digimon feels, she looks like a girl they picked out of a typical Japanese anime and put her into digimon. I honestly think that to move the plot along the introduction of just Meicoomon would have been enough. Ans maybe moving the story along a bit faster would also reduce the amount of hate the series is receiving.

This movie actually has a lot of story. I loved the animation for this movie as well. The previous ones looked like a bunch of screenshots compiled with voice overs to make the movie last long enough. We actually get a great deal of action and a good amount of Digimon going on. The fight scenes were good, not amazing but yess they were fun. The interactions of the digidestined amongst each other during the fights were also really good. Like there was a hint of reality of what the reactions of a person would be if they were in such a situation. The 02 kids still being MIA remains a huge disappointment. I hope they don't get 5 minutes at the end but lets see what happens.

Nevertheless, the future looks bright. We have finally started to move along. It looks very obvious that from here on in we have higher chances of better expectations from the OVAs. So looking forward to the next movie very very much. And to all the previous viewers of the original series, you want to watch the movie start by watching the digests of the first and second movie and watch the last episode of the third movie and continue from the fourth complete. Its way better, saves a lot of time, and you don't have to watch repeated scenes amongst various dragged dialogues.

I still love the series no matter what. The characters remain lovable no matter what. New watchers, Watch at your own risk of being bored, because the people actually moving along with the series are only doing so due to immense nostalgia and Toei's trick of making us wait for months before the next part.

Thanks and enjoy! :D

ENG: the fourth film begins in a very interesting way, showing the past of two of the characters of the plot (good nostalgia see again some classic characters of the original series). The new interactions between digimon and digidestined begin in a good way (because of the consequences of the previous film), but in a short time of duration it seems that everything is perfect (with the exception of two characters), giving a very simple tone in history (everything going on too fast and too easy. It seems like there was a bit of laziness in creating this development). One problem that the production team ... in this movie did was some scenes with 3D animations (they are ugly and very obvious! They stand out a lot when have 2D animations together).The sound is very good, the main story goes without major twists and the action is ok (could be better).

PORT: o quarto filme começa de forma bem interessante, mostrando o passado de dois dos personagens da trama ( boa nostalgia ver de novo alguns personagens clássicos da série original). As novas interações entre digimons e digiescolhidos começam de uma maneira boa (por causa das consequencias do filme anterior), mas em pouco tempo de duração parece que está tudo perfeito ( com exceção de dois personagens), dando um tom bem simples na história ( tudo acontecendo rápido e fácil demais. Parece que houve um pouco de preguiça em criar esse desenvolvimento). Um problema que a equipe de produção desse filme fez foi algumas cenas com animações 3D ( estão feias e muito evidentes! Elas se destacam muito quando estão com as animações em 2D). O som está muito bom, a história principal segue sem grandes reviravoltas e a ação está ok ( poderia ser melhor).

Quick note: Digimon fan since I was 7 years old. I'm 28 years old now and I've watched all Digimon media up to this point and have also played a few Digimon videogames.

This review will be a short one: this is by far the closest movie to the original series and towards the end I just got hit with bomb after bomb of nostalgia.

I honestly didn't give it a 10 because I don't like cliffhangers. Thankfully I can watch the next movie tomorrow but I can't imagine the grief of having to wait 7 months for the next hour and half of content.

I think people hate this one because of the little mistakes it makes along the course of the movie that keep piling up and bothering people which i can totally understand, a child level digimon paralyzing a mega, an adult level digimon getting defeated by a human, evolution animations that take way too long, Koshiro showing their memories way too late in the movie and etc, little mistakes that keep piling and end up making people mad.

Gennai was a mistake imo he wasn't interesting as a villain, a digimon serving ygdrasil would be way better, it was nice to see some of the dark masters ... back tho

As for the good things music and art are always good on Digimon so not much to talk about that, the plot with sora is pretty good biyomon always had a strong personality so it makes sense she being the most skeptic of the group
Maki getting turned down by tapirmon was great, it was kinda funny in some parts like agumon casually going down the river

it was okay overall, i could give it a 6 but i enjoyed it enough to not think badly of it, chapter 3 still is the best movie

Right, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to take a trip down memory lane and revisit our childhoods with the latest installment in the Digimon Adventure tri. series. That's right, we're talking about Digimon Adventure tri. 4: Soushitsu.

In this chapter of the series, we find our beloved DigiDestined still grappling with the aftermath of their battle against the evil Apocalymon. But when a new threat emerges, they must once again team up with their Digimon partners to save the world from destruction.

Now, I know what you're thinking: isn't Digimon a kids' show? And while it's true that the series is aimed ... at a younger audience, Digimon Adventure tri. 4: Soushitsu manages to capture the nostalgia and excitement of the original series while also appealing to adult fans who grew up with the franchise.

Sure, the animation may not be as polished as some of the newer anime out there, and the plot can be a bit predictable at times, but Digimon Adventure tri. 4: Soushitsu is still a fun and engaging watch for fans of the series.

But if I were to attempt it, I might say something along the lines of, 'Well, isn't this just a jolly good blast from the past with its classic characters and nostalgic charm? It's almost enough to make me want to dig up my old Digivice and join the fight against the forces of darkness.'

Overall, I'd give Digimon Adventure tri. 4: Soushitsu a solid 8/10. It may not be perfect, but it's still a worthy addition to the Digimon franchise and a fun watch for fans of the series
