Digimon Adventure: 2020

The start of the season was very promising and made me addicted to the anime. I grew up with the OG season and had high expectations. For today's graphics and technology ( smartphone, online possibilities and so on ) it fits perfectly.

Also I have to admit the other characters around Taichi have way more character depth than in the original series.

The animations and battle scenes are much better here than in the OG series.

There are a few nice additions for some evolutions and also new evolutions.

The plot is the main problem for me at one point it totally lose its magical touch and pace. I felt like forced to watch the series to the end. My favorite arc remains when Devimon finally shows off and encounters the group. Afterwards it's getting stretched and feels like kinda filler episodes.

It's not a bad reboot. They did a great job and made it different. If it was the same as the original series people would moan about that too.

I think it's safe to say for new generations, new crowd it's a great show. I can recommend it to them. For nostalgic people like me, we will find many differences and similarities. Although I liked the start of the season and how they introduced each character it lacks at some point for me.

I still give it a 7 rating, because it was nothing terribly bad for the show. There is even space for another season.

The original Digimon series started with seven kids who knew each other from summer camp. They had a past event in common to unite them. They had the time to explore the Digital World without constantly being attacked and rushed through digivolutions. They learned and grew over time like real people. New digivolutions mattered more since they didn't come as quickly. You had the time to know the children and Digimon. There were good to evil Digimon everywhere instead of just good or evil Digimon. This new show recycles and rushes through everything while doing it worse.

I watched the original when it was first airing. It was a great mix of character development, serialized storytelling and strong villains. Truly original for the time. This new reboot has none of that charm, it meanders and drags out stories. All the character development is gone, the characters spend less than half of the series together and don't grow as a team the same way we loved in the original.

I know I am solely basing this rating off of how this compares to the original, maybe that isn't fair but IMO if you're going to reboot something it should end up better than the original This isn't even close.

The first three episodes are the only good thing of this reboot, they show how a Digimon series should be. The rest is a original series bad copy, too slow and not interesting. Digimon fans have grown up, the series age target should not remain 10 yo.

You know, when you like the franchise, you enjoy watching some new digimons animated and some mechanics being used like digimon geting more than one evolution line. This shows explore some old things like experimenting with them but wih no too much more planning than nostalgia or fanservice (in a non sexual way). Bad news is that it uses "Adventure" name with that goal and I know is a reboot and it should be distant but one thing is being different and another one is to be somehing completely far from the original, wich is not bad at all if you call it wih another name so you have nothing to compare with. Besides that, as an individual product, music's okay, it has big argumental issues and they could have put more love in animation and character development, It lacks of spirit and cliffhangers are really poor. There are some rescueable chapters with its own plot wich work apart from the main story wich are only disturbed by a main character that needs atention all the time. If you want to see forgotten digimons animated, some pokemon-like chapters wich only work without the main story, and some forgotten evolution mechanics used again, watch it, but with no more expectations than that..
