| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, I feel kinda bad for Meiko in this movie. Ass I found the movie rather moody compared to the previous too..there's a lot of tension. Looking back, it's kinda sad at how the story has become. Takeru also showed a lot of concern for Patamon, not that I blame him though considering how infected Digimon can become.. I think the movie was fine except for the long buildup. A major theme from the movie seems to be more about friendship again so I guess the element of digmon/human bonding was expected. Also felt like the budget went down for this movie compared with the previous ones. Tentoman and Agumon were MVPS after most of the other Digimons got infected. Hello again Digital World~ |

| Finally finished and I've mixed feelings to be honest on which cliffhanger would've been worse. Ending with four episodes only or with five like in this case now. Either way, months of waiting have paid off and really excited for the next one. 8/10 |
| I cried. I tried not to. But I cried. |
| I bawled like a baby! I felt so bad for Meiko and I really felt her pain being around the others. I really couldn't contain the tears when Overall it was a great movie and it had a whole lot of feels - 9/10! Digimon Forever! ***Side Note*** - Why aren't movies 4, 5, and 6 listed yet for us to add to our lists? |

| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Just watched it. It was the best movie so far and it seems the next one will be even better. |
| I agree this was the best one so far. 7/10 for me. I feel this whole Digimon Tri would have been better if they have began from this episode right off (adapting it to be an introduction of course). All previous episodes felt very slow and redundant. Anyway, I don't get the twist in the end, I already forgot what that woman did before so I have no idea what was her plan. Kinda disappointing it wasn't Ken at the end. Who was that, Gennai? I feel like the explanations won't be very satisfying. |
| Tentamon my boy becoming Golden Tentamon...I mean HerculesKabuterimon. I really liked his honesty towards Koshiro(Izzy) and in the end he helped push everyone back in the portal. Agumon tanking them hits after everyone else became infected, he managed to fend off his infected comrades up until the end when he became Wargreymon. And Patamon too, that line where he tells TK to finish him off was pretty sad. The ending is a bit confusing. Just when we think everything is going smoothly, they throw in a plot twist in Himekawa. I had a hunch in the scene where she smirks as she eats a donut that the was probably up to something. So far we have no clues about the 02 kids but my guess is they may be held captive in the Digital World or some other place. Those two other Mega like Digimon, I wonder if they are infected. |
 |
| Brutally honest stream of consciousness Digimon Adventure tri. opinions coming in... Insert spoilers and opinions disclaimer here. Please don't get angry if you liked the movie. I feel really bad for not liking it as it is. Alright? - First of, oh my God. What did I just watch? They're not even trying with the evolutions anymore, are they? Like that whole Tentomon suddenly becoming Kabuterimon just so that they could show off the AtlurKabuterimon evolution sequence. Yes, I get that they wanted it to be "emotional" and "poignant" but that is NOT the way to handle a new evolution! There really was no weight or impact to it. None at all. HeracleKabuterimon did not get any kick-ass fight sequences or even launch any attacks. What a waste. - Why didn't Agumon Warp to begin with? Oh, because they wanted to show off the MetalGreymon evolution sequence. That's right. (Though I have to admit it was one of the cooler ones...) - Also... WTF is with infected MetalGreymon becoming WarGreymon? What was with that? How was that even possible without Taichi's input? Please explain!!! PLEASE SOMEBODY!!! They don't even give a shit about these things, do they? (-.-) - Didn't they see Hikari get taken over by the Digital World God before? Why is this new to them? What? - Meicoomon's evolution has boobs. Okay. Will she join the ranks of Renamon? Who knows? (Probably. YES.) - Reboot? Oh dear, it's the X-Evolution and Tamers movie all over again! (O.o) What are they doing different with this Virus theme? What? - Finally, we get Angewomon. Geez. Took them long enough. I liked the how the D-3 flashed. - Where are the 02 kids? NOTHING save for THEY'RE DISAPPEARING. You'd think they'd be a little more concerned!!! - And the play on emotions... I admit that it was initially handled pretty well. But it became really contrived with all of them having to go through this farewell shenanigans. This is significant for Takeru and Patamon because Angemon sacrificed himself once in the past before. Why that wasn't explicitly brought up and referenced? It would have made the issue feel so much more personal and touching... - Also, it would have been so much better if we didn't already see this before in the first season! But you know what? At least in that finale, we got to see how they dealt with the grief of parting... TOGETHER. - Which leads me to the next point... WOW, was that a whole mess of I don't tell you, you don't tell him, you know this, but I don't know that... Urgh. They're all going to find out eventually anyway and haven't they already learned that communication is the key to solving most problems? Heck, Koushiro came up with the back-up plan because Tentomon spilled the beans! But we can't have them actually figuring out a solution together, can we? - THANK GOODNESS there isn't any cop-out with them getting back their memories at the end of the movie. At least all that emotional buildup wasn't wasted. They're obviously going to get them back eventually (because they need to bait people to watch the movie by shoehorning in more Ultimate evolutions), but at least we're left wondering how for now. I really pray that we get to see the consequences of this before they get their memory back though. Like how they re-develop their bonds to prove their innate friendship. - Also, was there any emotional catharsis? Everyone was pretty nonchalant at the end. You'd think they'd be feeling a little more depressed and emotional. For some reason, to me, everything feels really hollow... - I actually kinda liked the buildup. That was actually pretty engrossing. I guess it's because I really want to know... WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON! There really was hardly any development to the mystery this time round save for the bit at the end. Thanks for that. Was that Gennai? Hi there. - That awkwardly placed BUTTER-FLY in the last episode. It didn't fit the mood at all. No! Bad sound designer! BAD! We're melancholic, not PUMPED. That dissonance and mood-whiplash. - That random digital gate and no questions of where that D-3 and D-Terminal came from. Was that Kens? They can open digital gates now? That's convenient. - Where are the Royal Knights? More of them please. Alphamon. SAVE THIS FILM SERIES!!! Oh, there he is. AND JESMON. Now, that was kick-ass. Sad that it was only like what... 2 minutes? IN CONCLUSION. I am really not liking how they're handling this series. I am losing faith in nostalgia-bait projects... like I had any to begin with. I know that this is a film series, but the balance seems really off. They aren't spending enough time developing things equally and should really devote more time to building up the mystery in each movie more. |

| Boring movie. That ending was more like a new beginning. Meicoomon was the cause of the infection,cool. They haven't announced another movie yet, I wonder if they will let it end like this, just when things were actually starting. |
 |
| I cried so hard omfg. Seeing Patamon and TK crying together just ripped my heart open. |
 |
| This movie really stepped up from the other ones. Hoo boy what a ride. That crying scene with Patamon and Takeru the feels too strong... Im so happy they gave Metalgreymon a digivolution sequence, been waiting for that since the first movie. Everyone ganging up on Metalgreymon... ;-; Herculeskabutarimon digivolution was simply mindblowing. Hype was real. It really was. When Meiko was too late I honestly laughed. Its horrible I know, but I really dont like her. Always felt like Himekawa knew too much, and now we know why. Gennai was hooking her up. Ulquiorra said: They haven't announced another movie yet, I wonder if they will let it end like this, just when things were actually starting. Its already confirmed there are 6 movies |

| I think they got the feels right, but I also think they could've done better (fuck you Toei). And they clearly can't make the Digimons use special moves because of the budget, this sucks so fucking much. There were some things that made me upset this time: - I was already concerned about the other '02 adventurers, but the fact that nobody from the main cast is trying to contact them, even after the school incident, doesn't make ANY sense. - Possessed Hikari scene wasn't good, they should've worked better in that part. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| decent I guess if not for my childhood I wont watch this the ending just made me wanna choke the wirters |
 |
| I'm a little bummed that this movie barely had much Koushiro in it. He was only relevant in one episode! This was supposed to be his moment to shine and it all gets lost in a mixture of battles and other character drama. Sigh, well that's just my Koushiro super fan biased anyway side of things lol. The movie itself was good, I thought it was the weakest of the 3 so far but it was still an enjoyable watch. |
| In Digimon 01 it was the Digimon partners that were waiting for kids to come. Here the kids now grown up came to search for their partners. I had no idea Meicoomon is a female ._. I was fooled, but at the same time Leomon doki doki moment should have been a hint. Shame that Mei was late, they are probably going to find a way to get her back into the digital world. Her partner might be the only one possessing memories. Whats the deal with Gennai and that lady now? She entered digital world too, what happened to 02 cast now? Dead? Erased? |
| 80% of teen down movie 2% fight 5% plot 13% confession itself and the only so called 02 kid just i troll genai really? |
| Into the Internet! |
| It's nice to see digimon again! Based on enjoyment I would give it 8/10. I'm just curious if Himekawa has something to do with disappearance of 02 kids. Let's just say she call the 02 kids first into digital world, they're beaten, and she took their D3 and D-terminals. She also have access to digital world and relationship with that guy (is he real Genai?) and I think Meicoomon has something to do with them too. |

Jeez all these people complaining about no explanation about the 02 cast.. Try to pay attention to the movie it already addresses it. |

| A (sometimes too heavily) moving chapter, leading to a few confirmations and revelation. Better balanced than the second movie but featuring a disappointingly high number of evolution sequences, The lack of clear informations / progress coupled with the fact that we are again receiving the main info as a cliff-hanger can be irritating since we have now reached 50% of the content. Other points: - the Hikari/Tailmon scene at the vending halls was nice *_* - Angewomon [Make-up Mode] was making her look ugly. - the Hikari possessing godly entity was not my thing at all. I think something like that already happened in 02 and it wasn't very good back then either. Enjoyment: 4/5 Score: 6.5+/10 Now that Maki has succeeded in getting the children back in Digital World and that she went to Gennai, what awaits us? Is Jesmon Hackmon ultimate level? (we had a glimpse of Hack in the middle of the movie and still ignore his motivations) @Actar Aren't they told that Ken is okay? They might assume that he's under custody/protection. About the D3 allowing sliding to the Digital World, wasn't it always one of their functions? Why are people complaining about the lack of special attacks? Do you want the TV Digimon gimmick back, where the child had some enlightenment unlocking a new evolution followed by a few seconds showcasing the new form and finally wrapped up with the finishing move? I can't say I am missing that formula, especially for movies. |

| Let me start this off by getting something off my chest. *ahem* I think my favorite moments of the movie was with Gatomon--shocker. I knew she'd be the first to catch on, and thus had to explain it to the others who were somehow clueless as to what Maki meant. She looked really torn about it, too--no surprise there. She and memories don't have a... great relationship between them, in a way. So the scene with her and Kari just hanging out at the mall hit me in the feels a lot. Not the the other scenes of the Digimon hanging out with their partners didn't, either, those were so precious. It just hurt seeing it. This was definitely worth the wait. Pacing still sucks in some places, but I was pleased with what I saw. Shit's getting real. |
  |
| I really enjoyed this movie much more than Ketsui. It had me on the edge of my seat and whewwwwwwing. |
| Most boring out of them all, sadly. A new start with their Digimon. I wonder if they'll remember later on. |
 |
| Ok,the first 3 episodes of the movie were mostly social interactions and foreshadowing what was going to happen.Patapon became infected and even bite Takeru,when he had lost his sanity for a little.The 4th episode of the movie though was beyond great.This must be the best and most intense Digimon episode I ever watched friends fighting friends and fighting Meicoomon at the same time,which was so strong that he was able to take on everyone at once.And the last resort HerculesKabuterimon finished the job at the end and the reboot made every digimon to lose their memories.About the last episode and the ending I have mixed feelings about the all starting from scratch thing again.It takes the beauty away from the previous series.I loved though the little confrontation between Alphamon and Jesmon.I hope the next movie will be even better than this. |

Jeez all these people complaining about no explanation about the 02 cast.. Try to pay attention to the movie it already addresses it. The characters so far have only asked about Ken, and we only know the rest of the 02 cast is missing because of the first episode and the fact that we see in the "digidestined tracking screen" thing that Cody/Iori is missing. The weird thing is that, aside of Ken, they haven't mentioned the rest of the 02 cast, nor tried to contact them. |
Turtles_Leader said: In the end, it was nice. Maybe because I'm not super critic about the Movies. I just watch that as a divertissment That is crucial: the story is so-so, with a bunch of plotholes, and the animation is cheap as hell, but is has been a nice little nostalgia trip. Just hoping for a decent ending, and that all the main story lines get properly addressed. |
Ulquiorra said: They haven't announced another movie yet, I wonder if they will let it end like this, just when things were actually starting. They've announced the new movie "Digimon Adventure tri. Sōshitsu" to be released February 25, 2017. Source: ANN 5 months of wait... |
| That Angewomon is fucking hot |
Turtles_Leader said: For skipping kabuterimon, it's more of a montage decision. They just showed the Tentomon > Kabuterimon evolution scene like 5 minute earlier. Since the first film, even if they transform more than once, each evolution sequence is only shown once, and in shortened. To me that's a good thing. Man, having the same digivolution sequence over and over, sometimes several times in an episode seemed ok back then, but it's clearly not anymore. Seriously, to me that's nitpicking. Oh, don't get me wrong. I wasn't annoyed that they didn't show Kabuterimon's evolution sequence again. I'm annoyed that they don't use Warp Evolutions, which would have solved everything. One of the only reasons I can think of is that they want to shoehorn in every single evolution sequence on-screen for the sake of it. Rei366 said: Why are people complaining about the lack of special attacks? Do you want the TV Digimon gimmick back, where the child had some enlightenment unlocking a new evolution followed by a few seconds showcasing the new form and finally wrapped up with the finishing move? I can't say I am missing that formula, especially for movies. Er, YES? It's like having a Pokemon anime without any Pokemon battles. Or Macross series without a dog fight. It's one of those things that makes Digmion, Digimon... You know, the Digimon! The feeling of triumph, the feeling of hope, the feeling of never giving up and persevering. That is what has been sorely missing. The awe. The spectacle. The feeling of emotional catharsis. At this point, Cyber Sleuth has been giving me a much more Digimon experience than this film series. (If you're curious, check this Cyber Sleuth spoiler-filled video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51dcDSjyKYw) As it is, the first movie remains to be my favorite in terms of structure and emotional investment. These movies have only been on a steady decline for me since then. Like I said, if they wanted to make this a worthwhile rollercoaster ride of emotions, they should really have made this movie about Takeru and Patamon. That's all it needed to be, with references to Angemon's sacrifice thrown in. Seriously, that is an absolute no-brainer. Instead, they had to bring in everyone else as well and they couldn't even develop their stories well because of the split focus and the whole "I don't tell you, you don't tell him" nonsense. Not to mention, the absolute lack of any follow-up on how they handled their grief. Throw that in with lack of plot movement, nonsense battle mechanics and a lack of focus on the Digimon, and I hope that you can at least see why this movie didn't work for me. I really feel bad for not liking this movie, I really do. I feel that it's my obligation as a die-hard Digimon fan to eat all this up. But I can't. I won't. |

| It was pretty good though not as good as the other 2 movies, Felt lacking in the action department but definitely made up on the emotional side. Patamon and Takeru moments were really emotional. Tentamon and Koshiro were always my favorites, I loved the way he spoke out to Koshiro telling him that he treasured the time with him was really hearfelt, HerculesKabuterimon was epic, Just wish he had much better action sequences Random WarGreymon transformation after infection was a bit odd. I liked the whole buildup towards the reboot with all the digimon pushing Meicoomon into the distortion, Really had a very poignant feel to it. So glad they played the instrumental version of the OP when they were gonna travel to the digital world. :D Digital World did feel kinda nostalgic, The art style is completely different though. Feels like everything is just beginning. |
 |
| So watching these 3 boring movies full of cheap teen angst has finally paid off. Hope the next movie finally shows something about the season 2 characters... |
bennysiahaan said: Yeah a big plot hole, or you know, the reboot fucked them up, since they already noted something was off with the rebooted Digiworld.I think we should discuss more about the story. Though the story is getting more intense... Wait, don't you think this is a plot hole: |
 |
| Someone this ending left me a WTF but then I saw a 4th movie announcement . |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Meh. There are way too many inconsistencies in this movie series for me to bother nitpicking anymore. The rules flew out the window a long time ago and the fact that they're refusing to explain ANYTHING just rubs salt into the wound. I'm refusing to consider this series canon no matter what anyone says. I think I'll be able to "enjoy" them much better this way as well. (-.-) |
| @Actar I understand now what you see in them but I never felt that the presence of an animated [u]special[u] attack during a battle was the proof I was watching a story about Digimon. (maybe because I was considering them simply as a signature finishing move because of the game and anime series) |
| If Gennai and that other bit...chick have killed/tortured kids from 02, I'm fine with it. Meiko should be the next. I just want to see the original kids. |
| I didn't sign up for feels but that's what I got. I think Jesmon is probably a part of the Royal Knight too, Alphamon trying to get rid of Meicomon probably because he know what trouble it bring. I wonder why they are fighting thpugh. Why are they gonna do with these level of digimons? Need to grind really really bad if they want to get back to their former level. |
