Digimon Adventure: 2020

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..

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 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.

This is a loosely remake from the original series. It started well with new digimon, an interesting main story and entertaining side stories. However, it has a great directing problem. The story focus way too much on the protagonist Taichi leaving all others with no important roles, specially in the second half of the series. It seems like the others are there just because they were there in the original. Taichi bizzarrely teleports with no explanation to the others locations to secure he will appear in very episode. Yamato who was a protagonist in the original series, now there is only 2-3 episodes where he is important out of 66. Sora is another character who is treated very bad. Sometimes the plot seems aimless, with bad time allocation.

After Hasbro folded Allspark into eOne likely scenario is that they'll have canadians voice the characters or Funimation and Sentai Filmworks to dub it, if it was the case there would major backlash and bad feed back from all Digimon fans.
