I used to be positively a type of youngsters that checked out Digimon and thought “that appears like a Pokemon ripoff” and simply type of ignored it. It is not like I by no means noticed any of the present, I did personal a single VHS tape with a few episodes on it that I watched at the very least greater than as soon as, however there was positively one thing lacking for me. Reduce to now, approaching my thirties, and my fellow-Pokemon-only associate and I believed to ourselves “we could give Digimon a go?” Why we had that thought, I could not let you know, however it did really feel like one thing that was lacking in our lives and we wished to fill that hole.
The collection is, unsurprisingly, very a lot a youngsters present. The entire characters and Digimon’s designs are very sellable, dialogue is a bit hammy, the music is extremely late ’90s, early 2000s in vibes, and issues like stats and kinds present up clearly on the display so youngsters might simply see what their favorite guys might do. However, we did not really begin with the collection, as a result of we figured that if we’ll do that, we should always do it proper. Which in flip led us to the Digimon film.
No, don’t be concerned fervent Digimon fan, I am not speaking concerning the terrible amalgamation of three completely different films that hardly makes any sense, I am speaking concerning the authentic one, Digimon Journey. To the uninitiated, Digimon Journey serves as a prologue to the primary Digimon collection, and launched in cinemas the day earlier than the TV present aired in Japan. It is solely a brief little factor, about 20 minutes in size, and you understand what? It is type of unimaginable – and in addition surprisingly scary.
