i watched the first four episodes of the digimon adventure remake
it’s aimed at nostalgic millenials, rather than current kids, and it’s interesting to see a franchise of this type freed from the weekly encounter toy ad structure. it’s also interesting that though the characters are kids like in the original, the threats they overcome are ones that would scare adults, like knowing their family members are trapped on a train during a terrorist attack, or a nuclear missile being accidentally launched.
there’s also no need to slowly build up to the main digimon attaining their bigger, more powerful forms, since their appearance isn’t tied to toy releases, nor is it a surprise. so evolutions are happening right from the start, and since the first arc is a remake of the movie bokura no war game, you even get a fusion character within these first few episodes.
i’m interested to see how it continues~
