| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow this was nostalgic although the artwork feels different, I think the voice acting was nice. It's nice to see the main characters back again especially Taichi and Yamato. Found it kinda interesting they showed Kuwagamon in the beginning considering that was also one of the first Digimon the kids encountered in the original series. A bit predictable but pretty classic. The fight with the friendship themes (between rl friends and their Digimon partners) were brilliant. Loved some of the OST/theme songs they used to.  |

 "Be who you are and say what you mean, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind" - Dr. Seuss |
| at least they acknowledge that 02 took place. |
| So this is like 4 episodes now and we will get the next episodes in winter next year? This is so weird. xD |
 |

| Looks like they are emphasising the love triangle too |
| I LOVE IT *-* and i hate Joei -_- The Opening: |
| So i guess that the new girl Meiko will become Taichi's new love interest. |
| Fine episode. Characters are still very nice, although I'm still not a friend of their design. The ending song was unexpected, but it sounds and looks great! Looking forward to the next parts. |
 |
| wow. Wow. WOW! That was actually... pretty brilliant. I came into this with a ton of trepidation but I was absolutely blown away. Phenomenal stuff! With regard to the characters, there was hardly any dissonance at all, considering this took place like only a couple of years after 02 and they were all handled well. The fight sequences were amazing. Though the budget from other places were obviously cut to make up for it. Updated stock evolution scenes were beautiful too. Only thing that I was disappointed by was the lack of a canon Omegamon evolution which is something that I've been wanting to see since Our War Game all those years ago. Loved all the details that came along with this. Like how Takeru and Hikari kept their D-3s. Not to mention, a ton of fan-service with all the hints at relationships. TaichiXSora, YamatoXSora, KoushirouXMimi, HikariXTakeru. Ah, Takeru's line of "I still love you the most." to Yamato. As a fan, I couldn't help but smile when I heard that amazing opening and evolution theme. Darn, nostalgia is a scary thing and I haven't enjoyed myself this much for quite some time. I want to watch the next part NOW! |
| yes for nostalgic sack i love it. but seriously since when they concern destruction in city cause by digimon rampage i barely remember of it(it not tamer universe where government really take the action).i guess they all grow up and more mature or they watched man of steel lol man,look like normal peopel didn't connect all strange event during 01 02 all movie ): new evolution sequence i'm not really fan of it. i wonder what happen to daisuke crew,they got rekt in first 5 minutes. can't wait for the rest ova. |
| amazing 10/10 i only wonder why the rest of the 2nd set wern't arround cause they would of been usefull |
 |
| sooooooooooooooooooooo Dissapointed....... |
| This was better than I thought. I loved all the little touches to the characters here, the animation actually looks nice (although the CGI models for the Digivolution sequences could've used a little touch-up--it's kind of sad when Savers' CGI looks better--still, I like the upgrade), and the soundtrack, although it's basically a remix of the series itself (like I had thought), is amazing, I loved it. "Butter-Fly" is gorgeous, "I Wish" is adorable, and "Brave Heart" is epic, like wow. I think my favorite parts of all was just watching the characters still be comfortable around each other while being not afraid to speak their minds about one-another, and yet still have their own personal lives and problems (Joeeeeeeeee Q^Q). They've grown up, but at the same time, they're still the same characters we know and love. And I can't wait to see this evolution as the movies go on, it's going to be fantastic. But those action sequences, man. It hearkens back to the movies in terms of movement (guys, guys, is Our War Game officially canon now???), and while I know in the TV series, there was damage whenever battles happened in the real world, but I don't remember them being as awesome as this. Even if it's just a way for them to show off, the peril is believable. Destruction never looked so beautiful. *beat* The wait was worth it. I do feel bad having doubts in the beginning, and hopefully the quality will stay consistent, or improve in future movies. We'll also see where the story's going to go from here, it could take us for a spin. Now I'm wondering how the dub's going to handle this. Although I'm glad it was released as a movie, I think this really could've worked fine as a TV series given how it was split up (and considering it was originally going to be a TV series...). So I wonder if that would be a possible choice for the dub to do. |
  |
| It was good, better then i had expected it to be. I'm just a bit disappointed with the new evolution "effects" (lets call it that :P) the old one from season 1 and 2 was way better. And that they rushed it at the end and they just evolved to Ultra, Mega and DNA form nowhere. |
| Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that. It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose. |
| very nostalgic... I watched digimon a long time ago, when it was aired at my local TV channel. And i've forget many event, in the main series. But still, this movie make me remember how happy i was when i was watching this series as a kid. Maybe i will do some rewatch i have time.... |
| Well it was unexpected to me to see this today, and four episodes! I am disapointed with the animation, the first part was a bit boring tbh, i still have to see the rest though. |
| Nice English. |
 |
| Wow, that was mediocre. I am disappointed at the missing digivolution sequences and I don't get why they never tried to contact the 02-kids. |
| Was fanboying throughout the whole movie well I finished it. Time to wait for a year |
| Are Davis and the rest of 02 kids really dead? O_O Great start! Loved every bit of it. |
| Nostalgic trip. When I first saw Agumon evolve together with the music, I got so excited. Alphamon run away facing Omegamon. Dammit Taichi, get your shit together. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| The nostalgia while watching brought out a lot of feels from me....I freaking loved this |
| Oh booooy, the feels... |

| Ah Digimon <3 Where do I begin...This first OVA seems like a big 1 episode but still had his dosis of action, toei did great job animating the action moments which Im glad. I also Love they keep the same ost <3 Tai has really grown up and I love it And oh, Mimori Suzuko my fave seiyuu acting in my fave childhood anime, she did an awesome job and Im really happy, overall I give this OVA an 8/10 Cant wait to see the rest Im really curious to see what happened to 02 kids and why the rest seems to have forgotten about them |
 |
| Wow, those first 7 minutes of the second episode were complete and utter garbage. Worst directing I have seen in a while, it was all awful, to much standing around looking at nothing (ah, but wait! Those moments where he stared at a broken cellphone for 30 seconds are actually relevant! We'll still flashback to them again in case you missed those 30 seconds though... multiples times) and doing nothing while the huge ass monster destroys the city, which had no tension because Taichi simply didn't really care, I was just waiting for Agumon to pop out and when he does... he does, there's no grand OST (sound directing was pretty shitty in general) playing as he appears at the last second to save Taichi's ass, nothing, it's just "oh hey, you're here... now digivolve!". Same for when everyone just appeared, please calm down guys, I can barely contain my excitement here, woah, so suspenseful. "Drama" in this went from weak to downright stupid, what are the odds, uh? Everyone had something to do and oh my god, I'm so lonely, we're never going to be together again, no... no. And then the "oh no they think the monsters are scary, why... time to wonder around depressed... what... You want the monsters who destroyed half the town gonne!? HOW DARE YOU!!! You should thank that these monsters you know nothing about appeared! It totally didn't seem like a random fight from your side, you totally know who the good and bad guys are but are just putting them all on the same bag! Yeah! Fuck you!" came and no... no. I'm glad these things kept getting handwaved though, yep, just forget about them completely. And this just isn't how you develop a character, turning Taichi from reckless to a pussy doesn't count as development, not how it works. Sure am glad they just digivolved off screen at the end and one hit-a-punched antagonist guy away, yep, not that the digivolutions were that great but seriously? Seriously? You could have at least tried to not make it this obvious that this is no movie and just 4 normal TV episodes aired at the same time and that you have no idea how pacing works. Animation also felt sloopy all around, characters took too long to react most of the time, too many stills, too much nothing happening, too much sliding around, too many frame rate changes during fights, they'd be pushing each other around and it'd be going super slow at like 5 FPS and then some dust cloud would rise and it'd go super fast and cut back to being slow when they start pushing each other again. I mean, you can make it work if you use it once in a while at the right time but everytime? Toei. Toei never changes. I'm glad I wasn't hyping this up. Oh, and nice boats, by the way, yeah... just keep on sailing away. Mimi was good though, damn, was she was good, dat ponytail. |
|
| I got bored easily. Not sure if it's due to the character designs or the fact that I grew up with the dub. Couldn't follow along well as well. Toei seems to have a new logo though.  |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Nostalgia made it for me, was a decent watch. Liked how they emphasized that people do change as they grow up, although I felt that it was done... in a wrong direction. It was slightly frustrating to see an emo-Taichi instead of the guy we all know any love. Mimi actually looks a lot better now. |

FueledbyKass said: I think I get where Taichi is coming from. When they fought for the first time, they were still children. As kids, you won't really understand all the danger the Digimon have in the actual world. Going back to Digimon Adventure, its similar to how his mom felt when him and Hikari were taken by Greymon when all the chaos was happening in Odaiba. Because of this new sense of growing up, he's becoming more conscious of the situation. He's worrying about the possible lives he could take; something he didn't think of as a child. He isn't necessarily running away, as Yamato says, but he's just growing up. Glad to see there's people who get it lol you all guys wants a 17 years old guy to keep acting like when he was 12 |

| Please..... TAI X HIKARI .... thats all I want... |
ClawViper said: Nostalgia made it for me, was a decent watch. Liked how they emphasized that people do change as they grow up, although I felt that it was done... in a wrong direction. It was slightly frustrating to see an emo-Taichi instead of the guy we all know any love. If anyone was to have teen angst, it should've been Matt Joe since he's on the cusp of adulthood and he's struggling to find his footing and to get himself in a good school. And also that nobody believes he has a girlfriend. But I'm not that bothered so much that Tai's having some problems. It may be a little too much, and probably not in a way it should've been, but I think it's nice that he's encountering gray areas. Things aren't black and white like it was when they were kids, and he's going to run into people who aren't happy about what's going on, and probably don't care to know why things are happening unless it's directly affecting their own personal matters (kind of like with the two students who were complaining about it). Who knows how many people still remember Myotismon's invasion (which I'm not even sure if the damage was as much as it was with the Kuwagamon and Alphamon combined, I think there was more), or even a couple of years prior in the World Tour arc, and even then, it seems mob mentality overtakes all. People are going to be angry, and there may be people who are going to end up dying in one of the encounters. |

| This was INFURIATING. I really wanted this to be good, but it pissed me off so goddamn much. I wanted to slap Taichi so bad during this movie. Who would have though Taichi, of all people, would be the designated whiny bitch? Who the fuck cares about the goddamn city? Your friends are getting MURDERED right in front of you? And I'm pretty sure it's Taichi's fault that Omegamon didn't take the shot against Alphamon. You can see the distortion in Omegamon right after Taichi hesitated. As bad as Taichi was, I wanted to outright PUNCH Joe in the face. |

| Well, I watched it and it kinda met my expectations, which were not high at all. The new evolution scenes are not that great, everything that happened was pretty standard, there was nothing new or special, the pacing was a bit jarring, the fights were flashy but kinda boring, there were few mistakes in a few scenes (Tailmon's ears were not colored), the sound mixing was a bit odd for me... The interaction between Chosen Children was great though and I liked the Tailmon/Angemon tag team in Kuwagamon fight, haha. Maybe the next part will be a bit better. I saw some of you having more positive opinions about some aspects but I disagree completely. 6/10 from me for now because I still enjoyed it. I just thought it was kinda standard. Nothing exciting really. |

| Tai, I thought you were cool, man... I thought you were cool. |
BliuBliu said: The interaction between Chosen Children was great though and I liked the Tailmon/Angemon tag team in Kuwagamon fight, haha. Same here, I thought that was a neat addition. Probably because she needed a boost since she didn't become Angewomon at all, but I'm not complaining, it was cool to see. |
