The tragic story of rewatching old anime from childhood. In my head, Digimon 2 was better than 1. I'm mistaken, it's very bad, especially compared to the first.
Almost everything in the sequence is inferior. The new cast is unbearable, the new children are more fragile, because they haven't experienced difficulties. The first was basically a survival, with the children finding their way around a strange world with monsters. In the second, children go and return to the digital world whenever they want, they live in the comfort of their homes and fight in the digital world in the afternoon, as a game.
The anime also seems
...
to not know which plot to follow and has several short and incoherent arcs for the evolution of the story. I already said that the new kids are bad, but the worst thing was nerfing the old characters. TK faced Devilmon, Myotismon, Piemon, the incarnation of darkness and fought bravely. When facing the BelialVamdemon, he was scared. WTF! They did this just to give Daisuke a leading role, after he was left out of the entire anime.
Hikari is another who was brave like her brother and this season she seemed weak. The old characters no longer had powerful evolutions (only by the writers' wishes), so they were of no use, it would have been better not to have been included.
In the end, they rehashed a villain from the first Adventure and he was defeated with the power of light and dreams, complete with a cheesy choral song.
The epilogue was like a soap opera, 25 years later, presenting everyone's professions and who married who.
Overall, rating 5.
I went through this just so I could see Digimon Tri, I'm curious about what they did, but I've heard it was disappointing in the end.

I rewatched Digimon Adventure, I started in 2018 and left it at episode 37, which is when Angelwomon appears.
There are many differences when reviewing these animes for two reasons. First is the child x adult factor, their vision is different, the way of seeing a story, normally as a child you are more excited about the transformations, while as an adult you appreciate the characters and the story.
Before I liked Tai more, today I prefer Koushirou.
The other is obviously the cuts in the Western version compared to the original Japanese version. The tone of the anime is very different.
The American version is very childish, while
...
the Japanese version is more neutral, although it is an anime for children. Without the censorship, they would have given the rating higher.
For example, when Wizarmon died and this activated Tailmon's evolution into Angelwomon, in the US version the death is not mentioned, they say that he will be reborn in the Digimon infirmary. In the Japanese version he not only makes his death clear, but also thanks Taimon for everything, which is why evolution occurs, the emotional impact is much greater.
Towards the end I thought they made a move to add more enemies and give more drama, although I think the fact that only Agumon and Gabumon reach ultimate form is a huge waste, as the others are also interesting. And sometimes these classifications lose a little meaning, with Adult level Digimon fighting equally with Perfect levels, which is a higher level.
Overall, it was nostalgic and surprising to see again, since as I said, the difference in tone between the Japanese version and the Western version is quite large and impacts the way we watch the anime.

I saw the anime in 2011 on Noitamina, I remember that I looked forward to the animes from that block because they were always different from the standard that everyone saw. Kuragehime is no different, a romantic comedy between a jellyfish otaku and a young crossdresser boy.
The beginning of the manga is very interesting, as it is a moment full of surprises, such as the bond that emerges between Tsukimi and Kuranosuke, which ends up being a modern version of Cinderella or Ugly Betty, considering that Tsukimi is clumsy and Kuranosuke It's always stylish.
Then the romance turns into a love triangle, when they include
...
Kuranosuke's brother in the story, although I don't really like it, because it makes the story confusing, I hate when they do that. So at a certain point, the story leaves the romance aside and becomes a manga about the world of fashion, entrepreneurship and the economic situation in Japan.
It was an interesting class, but it completely changed the manga.
And that part made me have a terrible hatred for the fujoshis in the Amamizukan dormitory, where Tsukimi lives. They are about to be evicted and are still lazy in fixing the problem. Mayaya is the worst of all.
Then the story ends in Singapore and it is one of the lowest points in history, too boring, made just to mess around. So much so that after the story returns to Japan, it is rushed and ends, smelling of cancellation or tiredness on the part of the author. I say this because while reading the end of the volume, she showed a oneshot of her next work after the final chapters.
In fact, speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful mangaka. Akiko higashimura is gorgeous.
Overall, the manga has a fascinating start, but declines a lot throughout the chapters. The ending was expected, but it was very rushed, which gives a feeling of incompleteness.
I started out giving it a 9, but I ended up with a 7.

In 2012, I remember watching the anime and really liking it, despite the crazy idea that involved the exchange of saliva between the characters, the anime was very romantic. I read the manga after the end of the anime, but I didn't finish it out of laziness, as it took a long time to come out. Then recently I remembered to pick up the manga again to read and I reread it from the beginning until I got to where I had left off (around ch.63) and finished it.
Overall, the manga is very enjoyable, despite being very episodic, with the topics starting and
...
ending in the same chapter, with rare exceptions such as the school festival arc, where Tsubaki and Urabe participated in the production of a film, which lasted long chapters. The most interesting thing is that many chapters seem like poetry, there is always symbolism to represent the characters' emotions, which is something well elaborated. The "connection" that they mention so much is something I understand very well, as it is something I have with my wife, I believe it is the pattern of when you find true love.
Visually, I found it very beautiful, with lots of details, in addition to the art being very different, which gives the work a more particular look.
I remember that I liked the anime's soundtrack so much, that while reading the manga chapters, I would mentally fit the songs into some scenes to give it a little more effect.
The ending was decent, I think, a little disappointing in some ways, but Tsubaki's explanation at the end made some sense, although for me, it was mere cowardice. But that's okay, the characters are innocent young people, as is common in romantic mangas.
