So, as announced a couple of weeks ago, Toei will produce a new movie to celebrate the series 20th anniversary after the recent conclusion of the Tri movies. Not much is known besides that Taichi and Yamato are going to be 22 and once again they've changed the character designs.



Thoughts?

I want to get excited, but i don't want to be disappointed like i did with tri >< The original creator is going to be the producer, so hopefully this will be good. I actually liked tri's characters designs and it's a shame they've been wasted with tri's terrible story and animation. These fit the original style a lot more and i'm looking forward to seeing the future trailers~

Man, why are they still producing Digimon original casts in their adult years. The way they produce it makes it familiar to the fanfiction Digimon Reboot:

Kakudou left the project. He may still get the credit, but he's no longer involved due to the higher-ups approving of something behind his back he felt contradicted his vision.

I wish Toei and Bandai would leave the Adventure-verse alone, but it makes them the most money, so they're going to milk it for as long as they can. The only thing I can think of they they could do at this point is to bring in the rejected 03 plot that involved aliens, but there's fans speculating this is going to be a retelling/AU, and I don't want to believe they would actually go with that idea. I don't, but I know Toei and Bandai are stupid enough to do that.

I actually like these character designs more than the Tri ones.

But I'm skeptic about the story, I mean, if one thing Tri proved is that there isn't really that much they can add or bring from the Adventure-universe, it is pretty much used up at this point, I can't figure out what more they can do.

The good news is that it is only a conmemorative movie and not a new series, so it's not like they need to bring up a very elaborate plot, they only need to do something like the fantastic Our War Game! movie.

Taichi/Kai and Yamato/Matt adult designs are so differnt from what i expected for, i still love if Bandai producers to make new Digimon with different characters and new digimon creaturs. It has becoming really bored these days with using the same characters with minor changes.

So this is actually a thing. Ugh... I learned after Tri not to have any hopes for anything concerning Adventure-verse. Well, I guess at least as long as Tri is considered canon. One of the things that I was interested in before Tri were the original Chosen Children and their story and Tri effectively screwed that up beyond repair.

Hmm, I honestly have to say that though the character designs of the Digidestined here overall bear more resemblance to their original designs, I really dislike Tai and Mimi's designs here. I just think both of their designs were just much better in Tri, especially Mimi's. Also how the heck his Matt somehow back to his original (first series) hair style after it was clearly shown much changed in 02 and Tri???

*After 25 years though*

But still, his hair style in 02's episode wasn't really similar to his first hair style:



If you look carefully at Matt's design for this movie, it nearly looks totally similar to his original (1st series) art style. Looks a bit weird to me TBH.

This is my overall take on the character designs of the Digidestined here for this movie:

This particular art style does bear more resemblance to the original artstyle, and certain Digidestined like Kari, Sora, Joe, etc. look quite good in this design, but....certain ones like Tai and Mimi's are really underwhelming. Especially Tai's case would really bug me because he is the main face and the leader of the Digidestined, and one of my most favourite characters in the show.

What really bugs about Tai's design here is that they had to change his hair colour to something of more darker shade, which looks quite odd, Like what? Tai's hair colour has always been a lighter shade of chocolate brown since the 1st series, it's something we are just basically used to seeing him with that, it suits him well. It's especially Tai's hair which has been always a really notable aspect of his appearance and is pretty iconic in terms of appearance too. The fact that they had to mess with Tai's hair colour of all things in this new design is what really annoys me here.

Also, the sharpness in his looks is also a bit lacking here IMO, compared to his previous designs, as the main face and the leader of the Digidestined, that sharpness factor in Tai's looks/appearance is something I feel which is quite important, as it adds somewhat of an extra appeal.

And regarding Mimi...oh well, character wise Mimi has always been pretty much least favourite Digidestined among the Adventure Digidestined, I always tend to find her whiny, attention seeking and complaining personality really annoying, so the only ways she actually really appeals to me firstly her Digimon's Digivolution/fighting moments, and looks wise, she has always been one of (if not the most) cutest/prettiest among the Digidestined, especially in Tri, where she looked really stylish, fashionable and sleek, which had an extra appeal to me appearance wise. But in her new design here, that fashionable and stylish aspect of her appearance which she had a lot in Tri seems to be vanished mostly, which actually I find quite underwhelming here.

"There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah... a heart made full-metal."

I always interpreted his tan due to always playing sports outside. Tanned skin is a pretty cliche anime stereotype of "sports addicted boy". But I believe the Yagami mother was fairer skinned than the father too so who knows. It is weird that they'd abandon it.

Well, I'm wondering what more can they do for the story. I feel like there is nothing more to really show for the original Adventure story. I hope this is the last movie for the Adventure series. The story should just end with this movie. I love Digimon with all my heart. I grew up with the show. But I feel like with this movie, they should just end it. All good things must come to an end.

I also hope that the 02 kids are in the new one. I also wanna see who everyone ends up with. I only remember the 02 epilogue. I'm not satisfied, but I wanna see something

Yeah, but they should rather stop making too much movies and just focus on TV shows, i am not sure why would they make an full digimon films, is it becuase of Koji Wada's death and Japan's unable to make one without him.

@hotsushikun Movies make money by themselves (and you can add derivative products to that amount of money). It's Digimon ADVENTURE, meaning that it's targeting mostly (young) adult peoples who have the money for that (rather than for toys).
Meanwhile, a TV show would be more focused on selling things. To children then. So, better to make a new title (look at Appli-thing for an example).

I am honestly scared how they'll handle it. Hopefully it won't solely be Matt and Tai focused but give equal screentime to everyone. That said it will obviously not be the last, maybe a break for a few year if even but it will surely return in 10 years.

The kid in me would'd die for canon Koumi and Takari with Seki on board and the focus on bonds, the plot going full circle to the 02 ending, toei love for baiting and teasing, I have no hope's. /cries in my 20 year old nostalgic riverbed.

Post 44 to 46 merged from another thread.

Hmm since i didn't really like 02, i kind of wish their existence was ignored like in Tri. But i liked them in the mamoru hosoda movies, so maybe this movie will make them better too. I'm really excited for this. I was too hard on Tri in the past. I've been watching them again recently and so far they've been enjoyable.

I've been watching every season of Digimon lately and this is pretty much true. Digimon Adventure and Tamers are the only great ones. The rest are mediocre to bad. They're just missing that heart that Adventure and Tamers had. Here's hoping they give Tamers a new movie or series in the future. There's so much potential there, even more so than Adventure.

From what I read on their official website it seems more digi-destined will be more "mature" on their choices, on Digimon Tri we had Joe that was really focused on his studies, now he is in Med school and probably won't be in many scenes, a surprise is Sora's approach to daily routine and how that made her grew apart from her digi-destined fellows, Mimi keeping "faithfully" in touch with them seem weird, I guess her character is the one that changed the most since Adventure, also how the Yagami siblings grew apart, specially how it seems like a one sided decision from Taichi, just to name a few.

As some people mentioned here before, let's wait this with any expectations specially after the TRI fiasco
