I watched 6 episodes of the 2020 version and I never watched any of the Digimon series. And now that it finished people are saying to not waste your time and watch the original. Any advice?

Watch the first 2 seasons of the original digimon, there are Digimon in season 2 that the main characters will use in the reboot. But the way they digivolve in the remake is very different than what they did in the original. I enjoyed up to season 4, didn’t care for savers, Xros Wars, or App Universe, not sure how I will feel about Ghost Game. I may or may not go back to those previous seasons.

The original is much better than 2020.

02 is kinda meh. It's got a lot of 'we have no clue how we want things to go in the overall plot' feel. If you want, Tamers might be more interesting since it was directed by the guy that did Lain.

Also, Ghost Game had a fun starting off point.

If you do watch the originals, do NOT watch Tri. Waste of your time.

I watched the first episode of Tri. The heavy Mimi/Koushiro implications was alone enough to put me off

i enjoyed Tri a lot, but it could be that I grew up with the franchise and will take whatever nostalgia that they decide to shove down my throat. Also I wanna see Ghost Game but I’m not so sure, maybe I’ll watch it when it ends and see how it starts off to see if I’ll watch it completely.

Do yourself a favor and watch the OG. It got way more heart and did the adventure part right.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

If you want to see analytically why you should choose the original, read my review or SoldierDream's which is even more analytical, they're on the main Digimon Adventure 2020 page. The original is incomparable, it's million levels ahead.

I did not manage to go very deep into the 2020 reboot. The beginning already threw me off, but after the weird start it became a bit better. However, it was still nowhere near the charm of the original show. The animations and battles are cool and we see more evolutions in the reboot, but the original had so much more impact. The feeling when a Digimon finally achieved a new form after a long struggle on an epic adventure was beyond the mediocre drama they put on in 2020 imo.

Yeah... Watch the original (Adventure 1, 2 and Digimon Tri), the remake is so shit... I never tend to hate for the sake of it, but they really butchered the story with this. I was so hyped to see the first one with modern and rather better animation, but I was sooooo disappointed, don't waste your time with the remake

👉 Personally, I grew up watching the series in the 90s and at that time Digimon had an opening that was surely top 1 for more than one, and personally, for me it is the best opening of the entire franchise for more reboot than they believe , to the new generations who do not know it, I invite you to listen to it and draw your conclusions from both the new and the old version, and if you are from the 90s like me, enjoy this great song and this great saga remembering great classics of yesterday https : //www.youtube.com/watch? v = PBnAyyr_4yo & list = PL7SErBN7ghtqeYkt2cyNmaX-Lu9XP0x48
