    Three weeks ago, I finally manage to watch digi-destined last adventure.  As digimon who was my first series of anime who introduced, me to the anime in the first place has special place for me in my heart.  As Toei announced the movie at 2018. I was very excited what writers   will do with the heroes’ journey after events of the Tri.  The most  surprising information about its development  was the departure of the original director of Adventure series ,Hiroyuki Kakudo after something was approved that he claimed was incompatible with what the previous series had established story elements from first ,two digimon series and movies. My Guess it was the Kizuna’s ending. As for Kizuna movie itself   the first opening act was call back to the 1999s digimon movie. Taichi,Hikari along with Takeru and their partners chasing parrotmon in the end being assited by Yamato and Garumon the gang manage manages to send the beast back ,afterwards each goes their separate ways ,Taichi and Yamato is now college students ,Mimi is running her own start up business, Joe is now intern at the hospital ,Koshiro run’s his own company. But as far my two favorite sweet hearts Takeru and Hikari well ,they are in the highchools final year. Sora studies flower arrangement technique Ikebana to follow in her mother’s foot steps .  when then are introduce to Menoa and her assistant  Imura. It is revealed that new treat is stealing digi-destined consciousness along with their digimon partners.  Not only that but ,things are made worse by revelation as digi-destined are reaching their adulthood the digimons with whom they would imagine  their lives are going to disappeared ,due to reaching adulthood. Later on its revealed that digi-destined were chosen kid’s as they had limitless potential to which along their digimon keeps growing stronger and stronger. But as they ,are becoming the adults  that strength ,can fade away.  I wont reveal too much,most of you may be has seen it and some of you not will try not spoil much.

    Movie it’s self in whole is watchable for digimon fan and otaku,but there is little few minues about is later on story , swiched to both leader taichi and yamato, and kusihro as support.  02 charaters,were an good change of phase from 01 as we only saw them in tri as little shadows ,I wished they had along with other digi-destined more involment in the final battle ok ,we had ex-veemon ,hawkmon evo. Armodilamon and stingmon at the end but no realy big involment at least that’s my opinion.  Now for the ending,which pissed me off like hell,how this fits in 02 ending,.

    About the music well, opening theme is of course everyone’s beloved and now already passed Kouji wada’s  Butterfly,this year marks his fourth year of the death anniversary ,movie also contains the Brave heart by Ayumi Miyazaki and brand new one Sono Saki-e. And song by AiM – Hanareteite mo.

    Now its up for you to decide if you love of hate it,I enjoyed but with bitterness.

    Ikee,mina. !

      Digimon has a special place in my heart too :3 I litterelly grew up with these characters, i’m actually the same age as Taichi and Yamato are in Last Evolution now :D And like them, i don’t really have a clear path/idea of where my life’s gonna end up. Seeing the Digi-destined grow up before my very eyes, and realizing that means i’ve grown up too really made me question “what does it mean to be grown up?”

      I loved all the callbacks and easter eggs from the older Digimon Adventure series and movies, and also from other Digimon series, the music playing during the first battle vs Eosmon was very, very similar to the battle music from Digimon Frontier. But my favorite callback was Agumon’s digivolution scene, seeing the original digivolution sequence that used to be with a Digivice that had a cell-phone like antenna now with a smartphone Digivice was a great combination of nostalgia and looking to the future

      Was very happy to see the 02 Digi-destined again, they had some of the funniest scenes in the movie imo, but the funniest scene goes to Taichi and Agumon, when he invites Agumon over to his own house, lets say they didn’t hold back in this movie to show the Digi-destined are all grown up 😁

      As much as this movie made me laugh my ass off, it also made me cry my eyes out, i was probably crying just as much as the characters were on screen 😭

      I don think there’s any problems with the Adventure 02 ending and Last Evolution ending being able to fit, if anything knowing the 02 ending makes Last Evolution’s ending feel more hopefull, it might be the Digimon’s last evolution, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be the last time they *spoiler* 😉

      The only minus for me is, i wish it would’ve been longer! I’m not ready to grow up 😭
