Also, not a whole lot actually happens in this movie in terms of overall plot. It made the appearance of Agumon and the others that much more exciting, but it felt strange for it to be a Digimon movie with no Digimon. Over twenty minutes in and the main cast was still just living their everyday lives.

I loved every minute of the movie, but it moved SO SLOWLY. The worse part of this movie was the pacing. I mean, how could you have four friends (and possibly their Digimon) maybe die, and never bring them up at all, not even in passing? It was just odd.Īlso, while I'm complaining. However, nobody ever talks about the 02 cast, or what happened to them, or much of what happened in 02. having D-3s, and Gennai having his 02 design, Mimi living in America, and etc. There are a few things, such as Kari and T.K. Speaking of 02, it felt odd to me how little it was referenced.

It almost looks like the 02 cast died, but I don't want to believe that (both because then it would feel like cheap writing to not have to deal with them for the movies, and because I am really attached to those kids, especially Ken). There's really nothing to indicate when that happened though, as this villain wasn't in the show. From the first five minutes of the movie, it is clear the cast of 02 (aside from Kari and T.K., for some reason) was defeated by the villain of the movie. I figured they might retcon the end of 02, as the ending there made it seem impossible to continue the show.Īs it stand after just watching this first movie, I'm still not sure how much of 02 is canon and how much has been retconned. I tried to avoid all spoilers going into Digimon Tri (aside from trailers), so I had no idea what to expect. Adventure and 02 were my childhood, but I fell out of the franchise after Tamers ended (not to say I became less of a fan, but just that I didn't like the direction the show was going). When Digimon Tri was first announced, I was in complete shock.

Digimon tri brave heart
