Digimon Adventure tri. Confession

Honestly, as much as I enjoy digimon, I can't write any decent reviews about digimon tri. The only reason I keep watching this is because I wanna know what the hell is the plot, because it has been 3 movies already an I still don't know whats going on. Literally 3 movies to show that Ken is up to no good and that digimon are infected, that is literally what happened so far, no more no less, plot-wise. They focus too much on normal day to day scenes like going for baths or school festivals, which would be fine if they had decent character development goingon, which for the most part they didn't, just trivial quarrels and whatnot, some seemed to come out of the blue with no apparent reason. The only good thing I have to say about this one is that it was pretty emotional, and on that I do agree they did a good job, brought me some tears to my eyes. But the rest? Especially the plot, they advanced next to nothing, so there's really not much to spoil even if I wanted to do so, the show is just moving that slow, if their pacing is terrible or if they're just bad at story telling.. well I really dont know, but so far this has been quite mediocre at best.

This is by far the most emotional addition to the adventure tri series. I don't think there has been anything as sad or heartbreaking in digimon history. This really gave me the impression that Digimon Adventure tri was heading towards a mature path, compared to their childish origins in season 1. That said, I think the movie suffered from its horrible pacing. I felt that the film wasn't really moving until after two thirds of the movie. That said, I do appreciate how they try to build the sad an desperate atmosphere with the scenes with the digidestines and their digimon. But because the movie spentso much time on dialouge and day to day events, I felt that the action was robbed. All the action in the movie is condensed to 20 minutes, and the whole movie is 100 minutes. I wish I was exaggerating, but that's the truth. Especially tentomon. Tentomon should've have been the main focus of the movie considering that he was on the movie poster, yet he didn't appear all that much. During the main battle, I was annoyed at the way they rushed the fight. We only got to see Kabuterimon for a few seconds. I really wanted the directors to spend a little more time on the action, maybe have tentomon struggle in each evolution before resorting to Herculeskabuterimon. Because of the rushed battle, I just couldn't enjoy the "should have been" epic moment of the appearance of herculeskabuterimon because he just digivolved without much fighting in between. There is nothing to write home about the art. I find the art for the humans to be adequate. However, I felt that they did a sloppier job on the digimon during the action scenes. Some of the scenes just looked lazy and lacked a lot of detail. The sound was on par. I don't really have any other comments. it was just clear and concise and got the point across. I am a major digimon fan. I watched all the seasons and I still am very hyped for tri. I certainly liked this movie better than the second one, as the second movie only had like ten minutes of fighting. Even though it sounds like I should have gave a lower score for this movie, I actually did somewhat appreciate the movie. I looked the new take and the ending really surprised me. They finally went back to the digital world. I am so hyped for the next movie because I'm sure there would be more action. I mean, for crying out loud, they are in the digital world where! There is no way the directors could make another movie with a bunch of filler with it being based in the digital world.

This is the best part of Digimon Adventure Tri. to date by far. They just improved a lot in this one. Saikai was pure fanservice (characters, all the fucking evolutions...), dissapointing and rushed. Ketsui was better but it lost so many time in high school things so typical and cliche in anime nowadays. I was afraid for this anime taking that way. Thank god it finally didn't. Kokuhaku takes a big step up in the rather neglected plot in the first two parts. The character development is still present but in a more subversive way. The pacing is nice and the climax is very emotional, been awhile since i didn't feel like that with Digimon. However, i have a big problem and question with kokuhaku: why they can't digivolve to a better level freely? it has no sense facing Meicoomon in champion level. I guess they can't control it anymore like 02, but with a couple of digivolutions more, all that happens next could be avoided perfectly, feeling like some kind of plot device. Anyways, although the situation was somewhat confusing, Tentomon manages to hit me right in the feels. God, that episode. I can notice some greek tragedy influence in Kokuhaku, specially the oracle's prediction (Hikari's Homeostasis) and the dramatic irony. For those who don't know about dramatic irony, it's a literary device by which the audience's understanding of events or individuals in a work surpasses that of its characters. In Kokuhaku, we know what is happening but not the kids, so this way we know they're gonna suffer so bad at some point, which increases the impact of the climax. Nothing to say about art and animation, It's a good work by Toei, but it's still Toei. And Toei is shit, so tha animation while decent it has some flaws. Soundtrack as epic as ever, well choiced and put. Overall, Kokuhaku is starting to carry Adventure Tri. to an enjoyable point. Still has flaws, but the setting andits identity have improved a lot in this one. Digimon is not an action kid show anymore. Now it's a mature show that explores the characters that grew with us. It's a product made for us and not for the new generation, lacking action to work on the characters we knew as children, and taking the plot to a different level. I hope the next parts keep and improve the level. Unlike the first two parts, this is the right way.

Digimon Adventure, the anime of my childhood - rewatched the entire two seasons just to watch the movies. When I heard, that there will be a Movie, continuing the ORGINIAL(!!!) Digimon series, I really looked forward to it. The first movie was okay the second not so well and this... this movie disappointed me so much, I can't describe my anger. First, the stupid animation I can't stand. It is like every other "kawaii" anime (eg Kyoto animation animes), it losts his charmness. When I think back to the old season, the adults looked like adults and not like kids. You can see, that they are lowin budget and this is fine, but an anime lost his seriousness, when adults looking like childrens. Second, the new character doesn't make me angry, but the fact that she has the same name as her digimon, makes me cringe. Evertime Mimi calls her makes me cringe. Third, Mimi isn't the same anymore. She was charming and friendly, but in this movie Mimi just want to pick up a fight with Izzy for no reason. I know that the author wants Love drama, but you can't just put drama in a scene where it doesn't belong. Fourth, there isn't a real plot now. It takes to long. This and the last movie dropped the niveau of Digimon completly. Fifth, whats up with Sora and Yamato? In the last Digimon Adventure episodes Sora told Yamato that she loves her, and when the Digimon attacked the human world, you can see, how Yamato protects Sora. In the movie you can not tell if they are a pair, or if Sora has feelings for Tai. The only thing I enjoyed is, that they keep their old soundtracks and opening theme. All in all the characters aren't as charming as they where in the first movie and in the old seasons, but I am looking forward and I hope that it will be better. Story: 5 Art: 3 Sound: 5 Character: 4 Enjoyment: 5 Overall: 5 *excuse my mistakes, I am from germany.
