10/10
A fantastic beginning to the new adventure!

Warning: Spoilers
*contains spoilers* So the new movie is out and its as amazing as the adventure 01 & 02 series. Here's my views of the movie. 1. Characters: Its amazing to see all the old digidestined back in action again. If you are a person who grew up watching digimon then definitely it'll take you back. I'm one such person. So it made me feel as though I met a few old friends after a long gap. So the whole nostalgic feeling makes you go wow! All the eight are grown up and are leading a typical teenage life. I love the canons. Mimi and Koushiro, Sora and Yamato, Takeru and Hikari all is going on. It's correct in my opinion because as people grow it's quite common that they start falling in love or start experiencing the need to impress another person or feeling jealous. Yes I'm hinting at Koushiro trying out apps to see which style of clothes suit him better, Hikari stopping her cycle after hearing Takeru is going out with a girl. All this is in it. Although I missed Joe, I think its alright for the moment because there are so many things going on in his life. For me Mimi and Sora are definitely the most promising. Mimi kind of gels the whole group together and Sora still has that big sister's feel. I'm a bit disappointed with Taichi being so pessimistic. But its just the first movie. Of course digimon are a main part of the movie so, I cant miss them out. The fact that the original voice artists at back is icing on the cake. It really feels wow when you hear agumon shinka, gabumon shinka and in th background we have brave heart playing(which is also cool as well). So all in all the characters are great. Its the main part of the movie. There is a good level of character development. For me the main thing considering characters is that there must be a reasonable level of similarity with the original child characters. What I mean to say is that if I see Mimi today I must get the feel that 'ya this is the same Mimi'. The movie delivers this. So for me, I give a perfect 10 for the characters.

Plot - Digidestined+ Kuwagamon + champion forms + battle + alphamon + meicoomon = amazing plot. What is more convincing is that you don't get bored. The episodes keep you thinking what's going to happen next. Yeah the end was a bit rushed. They must have shown the evolution sequence for agumon and Gabumon's ultimate forms. The story is nice. There's government there. Dunno if they are good or bad. Also you have a new character. Meiko. She's a bit strange. Another thing I like of the plot is that no 02 kids are being mentioned. So it makes me wondering what is up with them. So yeah the plot for me is a 9.

Animation and Music - When you are talking about a digimon movie, you cannot ignore the evolution sequence and the music. This is considered as a separate factor because any body who follows digimon knows what the animation and the songs mean to them. First up the songs. I have heard the full versions of all the three main songs - Butterfly, Brave heart and I wish. I must say they are all as good as they were in the first season. 'I wish' by Ai Maeda is my favourite this time out of the three. 😊. The animation is cool. I loved the new evolution sequence. Just to hear brave heart play and hear that 'agumon shinka' or 'piyomon shinka'... Gives me Goosebumps. Unfortunately not all of them evolved. Missed Ikakkumon. But for me Birdramon and Kabuterimon looked different and way better than 01. One thing I didn't like is that none of the digimons screamed their attacks. Greymon didn't say Mega flame nor Garurumon said fox fire. But I loved how Togemon said chik chiku bang bang. Anyhow, music and animation are cool. So a 10.

So basically that's it for me. As I said, its a perfect start to the 6 part movie. The next movie Ketsui is expected to be out on March 12. And to see Rosemon and Vikemon on its poster is so exiting. Its kinda cool if Mimi and Joe would team up again like they did in adventure, when they decided to travel the spiral mountain together. It's nostalgic again and to see them get their ultimates first, really cool! So lets hope that the new movie brings us more excitement and happiness like this movie brought. Let the adventure evolve! 😊
