100% agree. I went in with high expectations after Last Evolution Kizuna. But nothing really happened? Like in the whole movie. And it really feels like they brought back DNA-Digivolutions only for the nostalgia... I can appreciate the horror angle it went for momentarily and the overall message but nothing outstanding. what a shame :(

Yea honestly I feel the same but I haven’t have had any hope for Digimon anymore since the tri series. I love Digimon and I always will but it’s time to accept that it will never be the same again even though it could be but idk what the writers are even thinking.

I still know how excited I was after the announcement of Digimon Tri thinking we‘d never get anything from the main series again but they keep introducing new characters every movie instead of focusing on the main cast and them growing into adults while struggling or whatever…

I liked how they chose a heavier plot but we got almost nothing new from our main cast just a few crumbs. And you know what? They‘ll keep making movies to bait us and I will keep watching them :') I just wanted Kari x TK crumbs bit the ship will probably never happen TT

It really was just okay. I say that as someone who has not engaged with any Digimon media for over 15 years or more now. Last thing I remember was watching Tamers on TV as a kid. Only got spontaneously asked to see it with friends and after seeing lots of ads for it at Tokyo Tower when I was in Japan not even two weeks ago, I really felt like giving it a chance. Nothing too exciting or crazy, actually it felt like not much even happened. It looked really pretty, though.

@Lucifrost Yeah, sadly. I was really looking for armor (I wanted to hear the song of it, too) but nope. Mostly DNA

I really prefered this over Kizuna tbh. Yeah the focus was a lot on Rui, but it made me care and actually get to know the character. Menoa bored me to death and was such a simple of the shelf villain.
I really enjoyed the movie. Only gripe is that it could have been longer and a "real" climax was missing. The story stuff about the Digi Destined you can kinda explain yourself but yeah it was a weird huge retcon.
I look forward too what the next movie will be. Hopefully more 2 or Tamers, Frontiers. I really don't need another mediocre or ok Adventure 1 story.

This movie was extremely unnecessary and the ending was 2/10… I thought we get a little more information on the ending of Kizuna with the disappearing of Agumon and Gabumon but nothing and then the film focuses on a character the was only canon for this movie and won’t be shown on the future

@ReddeluGuy Fair enough man! I also like Rui more than Menoa lol So I wouldn't even mind more movies with him in it, as long it's not only focusing on him again, I'm completely fine.

And man, Tamers Movie would be awesome af

I've yet to see the movie but if what you say is accurate then that'd be a shame. I was expecting this movie to in a way be the Last Evolution Kizuna equivalent to the 02 team and not a movie majorly focused on a newly introduced character. However, I still think I'm going to enjoy it when it arrives in theaters in my country; just watching the 02 team getting some spotlight again after being outrageously neglected in Tri is going to be worth the try.

@SoldierDream I think, as a fan, it's still cool. Sure, I was kinda frustrated but I didn't hate it- Our expectations after Kizuna were very high, I think. I hope you enjoy it tho!

I actually think this is good stuff, I have fun watching this, just as I have fun watching 02 two decades ago. No armor digivolving seems to be the only weakness in this anime.

Ps. Does this mean we're living in a post-digivice world? I'm not convinced for a bit that Bandai/Toei will stop selling one of its best-selling toy.

@phantomfandom I wonder about that, too. I feel like some plot twist in the next possible movie will give us another way for a Digivolution OR they completely start with a new Digimon Movie Series with one of the other Digimon Animes like Tamers

While I have mixed feelings about the movie, I'm glad they didn't make it solely on the D2 cast and what they're doing with their lives. That kind of storyline is so overdone in these kinds of projects. Besides, the opening showed us how things seemed to be going for the kids, and the ending hinted at something regarding the relationships of the D2 cast. Overall, a pretty good movie.

I did enjoy it a little bit as a Digimon fan and seeing the evolutions on Big Screen again was epic.
But I believe it could have been it's own story without 02 cast.
Although knowing Toei they are not going to risk it like that and use some nostalgia to attract people

It really messed up.
We know at Original Series, The First Digidestinied(Ancient Era) and Taichi etc be called by Homeostasis. And their Partner also be created by Homeostasis with help by Gennai.
02 be created by Qinglongmond and Friends. Another common Digidestinied because Myotismon influenced by came to real world and Apokarimon final battle which distorted the real world.

So, Why that Sh*t Digimon be the first one? Who created that Unko? GOD?


Compared with Tri, Last Evolution and The Beginning has better art but the concept it will be weird. It looks like the author forgot the background Original Story.
Agumon and Gabumon dissappered but at the 02 Ending they didn't. The first Digidestinied concept be created, it seem the forgot how DigiDestinied and Partner got created.

@Lucifrost Surely, because armor Level is weaker than Champion Level except Gold Armor. It can be look at Adventure: which Patamon didn't has energy to evolve be Angemon so he take Armor Level.

Basically Armor Similar as Rookie Level which got Power Up using Equip(Armor).

@YuriEmpress
Examples from the Adventure: reboot are not relevant since The Beginning is of a different continuity. The armor digimon of 02 are all as strong as champions, if not stronger. If armor digimon were weaker, gatomon would have never changed into nefertimon. You can tell just by LOOKING at the digimon that halsemon and flamedramon are basically aquilamon and x-veemon with armor. Hawkmon and veemon are nowhere near that level.

@Lucifrost Gatomon lost her strength because she Lost her holy Ring, try rewatch.
Armor Absolutely worse than Champion, you can see after Veemon can evolve XVmon, Veemon never using his armor except Dark Tower Activated.

They using Armor at 02 because they can't Evolution because Dark Tower. After all, Dark Tower can't seal Armor Digivolve.
And Theyjust destroying Dark Ring not defeating opponent.
No matter how I look, Flamedramon similar to Veemon than ExVeemon. There are no wing, no X in her stomach, no muscles.

BTW, from the word Armor, we can see it's digivolve just using Armor. Not a Evolution as species.

@YuriEmpress I mean it doesn't matter what is stronger. Armor is cool and I wanted to see it at least once. But that's just my personal opinion

@EliBat If they wanna using Armor, I think they will use it just as Vehicles, such as Raidramon, Submarimon, Halsemon, Pegasmon and Nefertimon.

But as you know they prefer using Car, such as Daemon Arc. And Imperialdramon already SSR as Vehicles. Imperialdramon can store people in it's body. Such as when they wanna going around World to Destroy Dark Tower.

This movie was great and cared way more about the lore and canon than last kizuna.
I don't care if it doesnt have armor digivolution or if it doesn't focus on the main cast enough, we already saw enough of them anyways.

i wouldn't say i found it disappointing or anything like that, but yea, i do agree it would have been nice to learn more about the 02 casts current lives, but i mean, focusing on someone new is nothing new in Digimon so that didnt really bother me

I had very low expectation going into this because of Mal's low rating.
After finishing it, yeah i should never trust Mal's users / taste at all cuz they're the prime of hypocrisy when it comes to rating.

This movie outdone all the Digimon Tri's BS yet Tri got a higher rating which is just laughable.
The theme and story of this new movie is more mature and dark than the original story, and follow more about the Digimon Tamer trend.
If this movie replace all the Digimons to some other magical creatures and put Mokoto Shinkai's name on it, people would have easily give the story itself a high mark.

PS: Those who feel bad about Ukkomon, you have to know Lui was only 4~8 during that time , so he himself doesn't know what's right or wrong too. He is not a mature adult who can decide his own thing during that age. Also Digimon never truly dies when they're destroyed in real world, they just turn back into egg and would be reborn soon so no need to feel bad for it as well.

@Ventus_S Always for, your own opinion, that's right. It would be stupid to trust a random stranger (in this case me) from the internet lol. Still, the movie was still not great and just because it was a lot more mature than the other movies, doesn't make it automatically great. I don't know how you made the comparison with Digimon Tamer. Cool that you enjoyed it tho.
