Digimon Adventure: 20-shuunen Memorial Story

Part 1 English
Part 2 Bahasa Indonesia

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

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to take a trip down memory lane with an anime that's been around for 20 years. That's right, I'm talking about Digimon Adventure: 20 Shuunen Memorial Story, a special anniversary episode that celebrates two decades of digital monsters and epic battles.

The story follows Tai and his friends as they reunite in the digital world for a new adventure. But this time, they're not just fighting for themselves - they're fighting for the memories and experiences that they've shared over the years. It's a touching tribute to the franchise that's captured the hearts of so many ... fans around the world.

But let's be real here, folks. Digimon has always been a bit on the cheesy side. From the ridiculous monster designs to the cringe-worthy catchphrases, it's a show that's not afraid to embrace its own campiness. And while this anniversary episode is no exception, it's still a fun and nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Well, isn't this just a delightful little anime with its charming characters and nostalgic nods to the past? It's almost enough to make me forget about all the times I've made fun of the franchise over the years.

Overall, I'd give this anime a solid score of 8.125/10. While it may not be for everyone, it's a must-watch for fans of the Digimon franchise who want to relive some of their favorite memories from the past 20 years.

Saudara-saudari, saatnya mengambil perjalanan ke masa lalu dengan anime yang telah ada selama 20 tahun. Ya, saya berbicara tentang Digimon Adventure: 20 Shuunen Memorial Story, sebuah episode spesial peringatan ulang tahun yang merayakan dua dekade monster digital dan pertempuran epik.

Kisah ini mengikuti Tai dan teman-temannya saat mereka berkumpul kembali di dunia digital untuk petualangan baru. Tapi kali ini, mereka tidak hanya berjuang untuk diri mereka sendiri - mereka berjuang untuk kenangan dan pengalaman yang telah mereka bagikan selama bertahun-tahun. Ini adalah penghormatan yang menyentuh untuk waralaba yang telah merebut hati banyak penggemar di seluruh dunia.

Tapi jujur saja, Digimon selalu memiliki sedikit keju di dalamnya. Dari desain monster yang konyol hingga kalimat tangkapan yang menggelikan, ini adalah pertunjukan yang tidak takut untuk merangkul kegagahannya sendiri. Dan meskipun episode peringatan ini tidak terkecuali, itu masih merupakan perjalanan yang menyenangkan dan nostalgik ke masa lalu.

Baiklah, apakah ini tidak hanya sebuah anime yang menyenangkan dengan karakter yang menawan dan petunjuk nostalgia ke masa lalu? Ini hampir cukup untuk membuat saya melupakan semua kali saya mengolok-olok waralaba selama bertahun-tahun.

Secara keseluruhan, saya memberikan skor solid 8,125/10 untuk anime ini. Meskipun mungkin tidak untuk semua orang, itu harus ditonton bagi penggemar waralaba Digimon yang ingin menghidupkan kembali beberapa kenangan favorit mereka dari 20 tahun terakhir.

Quick note: I've been a Digimon fan since I was 7 years old. I'm 28 now. I've watched all Digimon media released up to this point and I've played a few Digimon videogames as well. I'm currently watching the ongoing Digimon Adventure 2020 "remake".

Finding this short series was hard enough but it's worth to watch them. You get both comedy and character development, insight and growth.

As far as animation goes, it's not the strongest aspect of these episodes but I've seen worse. Same goes for audio: nothing to be amazed by nor disappointed about.

In conclusion if you enjoy the Digiverse, you should ... definitely watch these 5 short episodes

Episode 1 was a decent look into what Sora's been doing and how she's growing into her own person.
Episode 2 should have been in the Kizuna movie, it's very rare for the Digimon to seriously talk among themselves and it works wonders for their character to see them come to terms with what they most likely accepted at that point would end up being the climax of the movie.
Episode 3 Showed how Joe's grown up despite what Gomamon thinks at first which feels bittersweet because it shows how Gomamon is no longer keeping the one keeping Joe in check, kind of strangely like a ... mother watching their kids move on and live by themselves.
Episode 4 was a fun comedy one that showed us the OG Adventure Digital World and was just a cute bit of the Digimon goofing about as well as a neat call back to when Daisuke tried to get Veemon to evolve in 02.
Episode 5 is a comedy skit featuring Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon which I'll treat as non-canon because it retcons Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon's death in Adventure as them faking their death.
