| Joe what the fuck man? your grades suck and i bet the reason for that is not that you have a girlfriend... you are lying Joe, there must be another reason for this, all you do is study, even one girl or two could lead to this, and then you denied us Ikkakumon!! With that said, maybe it is for the best, because that CGI they used to animate the evolutions was horrible. |
| Dat op tho. It's been a long time man. I could only remember Taichi at first. Based on episode 1, I thought this episode was quite solid with decent art/animation and the direction of the story looks to be a set-up for the upcoming episode. I did feel though that Taichi's voice was not consistent (sounded different at times) and the plot is progressing at a slower pace than I thought, Kurawagamon's appearance is basically the only thing of importance for now. I hope the next episode will be more action-packed or at least give a back story of what happened in between the time period of when they were kids and now. :) |

| Was a good movie. I felt a bit nostalgic and was good to meet again to an anime that was part of may childhood. I thought before the movie, only natural disasters or Mosters like to destroy American cities like NY or LA. But with this, I can say: Digital Monsters are not far about destroing cities. |
| I don't understand all these complaints about the movie. It was clearly "grown up" Digimon Adventure. Taichi matured fortunately. And it is first movie out of 6 so deal with it people and don't search for a masterpiece in a introductory movie. I also liked the animation very much and I enjoy it. For Toei Animation it was great. As for the movie, I felt like that the Alphamon scene was too rushed in addition I liked way more the Kuawagamon fight. One thing: I hope really they don't turn Digimon into a school drama, this movie had a right amount of it but i hope they will not overdo it. |

| the amount of whining I see here is amusing |
| Mimi was good the rest was ok |
| fucking toei stop ruining my childhood! |

| Quite disappointing towards the end. Like really disappointing. It was good at the start and I know it would be slow since it's a 6 part series, but I didn't expect this bad. Disappointing things to point out: 1. Bad animation and character voice synchronization. You can see Koushiro still talking with mouth shut as a background voice during the under the bridge scene. 2. Rushed Omegamon fight. If they were able to do Ultimate or Mega evolution from the beginning, then why bother waiting till Kuwagamon destroys the airport. It doesn't make sense, unless they intended to make everyone hate digimon. 3. Joe didn't do anything important. Oh hey Joe have to be here because he's one of the eight! But yeah you know.. Naruto's VA is kind of expensive, so lets remove Gomamon out of the equation, because who the fuck cares about them right? 4. New characters introduced. Meiko was introduced to feed Taichi x Sora shippers happiness. Guess it doesn't work that well. 5. Another voicing problem definitely. Not even the usual Japanese Animation attacks calling by the end of the movie. Like "Gaia Force!" or "Harpoon Torpedo!" or Angemon's "Heaven Knuckles" or fucking something! It's what Digimon had been doing for the last 15 years, why the fuck omit it now?! 6. Let's not forget the Togemon and friends digivolution, that doesn't matter at all! Oh hey look! A jumbo large digimon! Let's use our normal digivolution and get fucked up! So Taichi and Yamato will do Omegamon! Oh God... disappointment level~ HIGH. I'm rating this 7/10 for nostalgia factor mostly. Although good part to look at. 1. The nostalgia. That includes same OP and ED song, digimon voices, battle, digivolve and other sountrack, the ball building where Wizzardmon died. 2. Digimon 02 exists as canon. As seen by the glimpses. Well more disappointment than the goodness. |

| it definitely hit the nostalgia, the OP and ED |
| The amount of people whining about the first part of a six part movie series in here is amusing. |

ItsJustSnake said: the amount of whining I see here is amusing Tenshi_Shura said: The amount of people whining about the first part of a six part movie series in here is amusing. It's MAL what did you guys expected? |
| Yes! The return of Taichi's goggles, Mimi's brown hair, and Hikari's bangs. And freaking Takeru, inviting more than one girl to his brother's concert, no wonder Hikari dumped your ass you man whore. |
 |
| Not bad for the beginning It did bring back nostalgia from the original series while adding some changes for better or worse Characters are lovable as always, the music re-arrangement was quite nice but still prefer the original version, but the art and animation are a bit lackluster, especially in non action scenes. I just hope it gets better, because the story imo has potential (yeah the amount of whining here is kinda amusing) |

| I can't see how people are having such complaints. Remember this is a full 24-episodes series, we have only seen the first 4, and for me, they were an excellent introduction to the anime. This only proves how stupid the MAL system is, it should be a way to rate the series as a whole and not on a per-season basis. 10/10 |
| Gosh, It has been years.. I'm not crying.. well may be I little; the opening man, right in the feelings. It was a good movie, I enjoyed the story and really love the characteres. |
 |
| I been waiting for this, but it didn't really turn out to be all what I thought it was going to be. (waited 1+ year just for intro...) Either way... gotta wait another 4~5+ month for part 2 of the movie... (and there's 6 parts... this things gonna stretch out for like 2~3 years, lol, longest movie ever?) IE: 4 month per part, 6 part, 24 month = 2 years As for childhood... Pokemon and Digimon were one of the first few Anime I saw when I just arrived in America (watching Dub on TV). However, Pokemon had a much more better adventure (which is still continuing today) While Digimon's adventure were ok, but it never really continued as it always had other sets of hero/ins or alternative worlds... so it never really stick to people that well. In fact, I brought both Pokemon and Digimon TCG starter packs when it was first released. But everyone only played Pokemon TCG, no one played Digimon TCG... so my Digimon cards just lied in the corner gathering dust... so sad for Digimon, it never got picked up. (then Yu-Gi-Oh arrived, and Digimon TCG just become forgotten....) |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Not sure if the whiners are being whiny or I'm blinded with nostalgia glasses. Either way its still an enjoyable movie. |
| And so many people on MAL have to be critics -__- Okay movie looking forward to the next ones. Its cool seeing the cast together, brings back memories. |
| I just recently discovered that the modern Digmon fandom is literally a giant shipping war. Seriously guys? It's supposed to be about the digimon fighting. I'll stick with my vision of it from 15 years ago. As usual, the community ruins everything. Anyway, this was pretty average as far as anime goes, but below average considering this was supposed to be movie quality. I gave it 5/10 to be nice, but really this seems like Pokemon Origin all over again. All nostalgia wank and very little substance. |

I gave it 5/10 to be nice, but really this seems like Pokemon Origin all over again. All nostalgia wank and very little substance. Agree 100%. The majority of Adventure fandom is like that sadly. As for the movie, it was nice seeing them again, but I still have a feeling they are doing this just to satisfy nostalgic fans and not to bring anything interesting to the franchise. When I compare this movie to the other Digimon movies, it doesn't even touch them. Even the Savers 20 min movie was more exciting than this. And yeah, I know it's supposed to set things up, but it wasn't that interesting and directing and pacing were not good anyway. It was enjoyable but other than some great banter between the main characters, pretty visuals and great new versions of Butter-Fly and Brave Heart, it was a pretty sloppy movie overall. Hope the next one will be better. They need to realize that more interesting and cleverly put battles are more valuable than making them flashy. For now, I have a feeling this was made just to milk nostalgia and nothing else. |

| Hahaha... I don't know what I'm supposed to feel here tbh. It's been years since I last watched Digimon... more so the original series. It's been too long time... I've completely forgotten about the characters and events prior to the movie except the main trio Yamato, Taichi, Sora and some few vague images that came back to me from that time. If I had been still a kid or either the movie would've released much sooner, I would've been jumping from excitement and fawned over it for sure. But that's not truly feels like here now.. Still, the reunion b/w Taichi and Agumon and the goggles on him again sure felt nostalgic, brought me to some tears or two :') And again, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about the teased pairing and relationships implied in the move. How am I supposed to ship anyone if I barely remember their existence in the series? :D Iirc Maybe that's why the new girl Meiko is introduced here. Tho I still wonder about how would it turn out from now on. Kinda disappointment they didn't showed the further evolution of Agumon, Gabumon and Omegamon. Was looking forward to it tbh. |

pagina said: They didn't even MENTIONED Daisuke and the others. The four episode goes through what, 3 days? Their friends have been missing for THREE days and it's like nothing happened. Aren't Hikari and Takeru supposed to be in the same class as Daisuke? It just doesn't make any sense them not checking out with the rest of the kids to help out. The 3D's are there, so wtf? It was SO disappointing. Bad pacing. Bag writing. Bad direction. Bad animation. Bad music direction. Did we really need Meiko? What was the point? The only good thing in this mess was Mimi. Her writing just saved it for me. And I kind of love the fact that they gave Tailmon status as a Champion level back. All the voices seem to be on point as well. Aside from Taichi's and Hikari's, I couldn't even tell they changed actors. I agree. I didn't ask for this. Awful. |

I guess they failed to realize that this was only an introductory episode. Typical MAL. When a series actually takes its time to develop, they'd say it's too slow and has shit pacing and when they address a lot of stuff in the first movie, they'd say it's rushed. There's just no pleasing everyone. Anyone complaining about the animation probably isn't probably familiar with Toei. |

BebeCharlotte said: It really is indeed amusing. I guess they failed to realize that this was only an introductory episode. Typical MAL. I don't think most of people who didn't like it failed to realize that. Even for an introductory movie, the quality of many aspects was just mediocre. Just because it's a first part of something, doesn't make it immune to criticism. Nobody expected this movie to have a full rounded story or amazing character development and neither did I. What I did expect was for it to feel like a movie. Have an appropriate pacing, good story building and an animation fit for a movie. Too bad, I didn't get that. I enjoyed it solely because of nostalgia. If I wasn't a fan already, I wouldn't like this that much at all. |

| Brings back memories. is it just me or the animation looks rigid? oh, based toei and evo 3D is meh OST were quite good, but the story itself is so mediocre well looking forward to next episode, since this is just beginning Prog_aloverz13 said: The reason why this is still worth watching is mimi. so agree, Mimi best girl |

DATS24 said: if you wanna this to feel like movie, then this is not, a movie won't be separated into 6 parts. Calling this an OVA suits more than movie. They from first never mentioned this as 映画 in Japanese You may be right. I guess I might treat it as an OVA then. It still doesn't change my opinion about it sadly. Maybe I'll try watching it again with a new mindset but I don't think I'll feel differently. |
|
| Wanted it to be good but it turned out average, I can't understand Taichi's sudden personality change, Ok so he doesn't want the destruction of the city so he's gonna let a giant Digimon just stroll through and destroy stuff? If anything that should make him more motivated. The digimon digivolution sequences were plain compared to the classic ones on the first digimon season but oh well, Also annoyed how they skipped so many digivolutions at the end and went straight into Omegamon and the general plot is boring lacks the adventure and awe of the classic. |
 |
| While I did enjoy this show... I still don't get it why Agumon and the others didn't just evolve into their Ultimate Form when they fought Kuwagamon to kill them easier? Also why the Digimons other than Agumon and Gabumon didn't evolve further than Champion level when they faced gundammon Alphamon. I can't believe they repeated the same foolishness when they fought Metalseadramon long ago. Taking Mega-level Digimon with Champion ones. |

| This is everything I could've asked for! I can't wait for March 12! |
| 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. |

| That nostalgic feeling while watching this and hearing the OP once again. And also, Mimi is cute especially with the ponytail. |
 |
| 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! =.= |
