Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna (2020)
This is for the Chosen Children who grew up with Digimon Adventure
As a Digimon fan who was sorely disappointed with the Adventure Tri movie series, I was reluctant to watch Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna. ("Kizuna") However, the Kizuna trailer convinced me to watch the movie. Older Digimon fans should not miss Kizuna, for I think this movie was targeting us.
Personally, it was an overwhelming emotional roller coaster ride from start to end. At certain points of the movie, I could resonate with the feelings joy and sorrow of Taichi & Yamato, especially the parts on growing up and moving forward in life. Digimon has always featured some difficult questions that children face, while providing some moral values as guidance.
The producers of Digimon obviously learned from its mistakes in Adventure Tri. Elements which were essential to Digimon fans from the Digimon Adventure series and the first movie are abundant in Kizuna. The main plot in Kizuna is simple and despite some shortcomings, manages to keep its focus on a few crucial themes.
Having little expectations for this movie helps, as it allows us to finally have a nice closure for Digimon Adventure.
