TK seemed like he was supposed to be an auxiliary leader of the group, but with Tai and Matt taking most of the leadership positions, he was left with nothing much to do. Matt still was cool, and was just now older and cooler. Not to say that they didn’t also advance a bit, but they probably had the least of all. The ones that came off the worst of the original crew were probably Matt, TK and Kari. Because of this, we only got bits and pieces of who they had become after a few years of development. Unfortunately, since Digimon has always had problems with letting specific characters shines, their character advancement didn’t get much notice, and they weren’t given much room to stretch. Izzy and Joe are shown to be studying and working in their fields a lot more heavily, while Sora is opening up more and Mimi is becoming more of a headstrong leading type.

This made the series a bit more interesting, as it helped give depth to his decisions and not make it as cliche and repetitive that Digimon tended to be sometimes.Īlong with Tai, characters like Izzy, Joe, Mimi and Sora also expanded emotionally, though theirs is a little less obvious. Whereas he was formerly headstrong and first to enter action before, by Tri, he had become more level headed and questioned his motivation a lot more. It makes the most sense, as he is the main character. I think the strongest among them is probably Tai. So they had to grow up in some way, and to the credit of the writer’s, much of it felt very sensible. It would seem weird to have this people in their teens acting like 10-12 year olds still. With the maturing characters, they couldn’t really be the same precocious children anymore. It could work… Right?īut while we’re talking about the characters, let’s talk about… But with the original voice actors of the Digimon returning to join a brand new cast, it at also said that it wasn’t going to stray too far from the original. It helped deliver the message that they were maturing and would be presenting a different kind of story from the original. I also liked their updated look, even though it was a bit controversial that they moved away from the classic big head/hands/feet look from the old shows.
Hell, I even kind of enjoyed their appearances in Digimon Xros Wars, even if that was the most pure pandering of all time. Despite overall problems I had with this series, I will admit that the fanboy in me did really like seeing new material with these characters I loved as a kid. Let’s get that out of the way real quick. So I’m going to go over some positive and negative aspects I found over the several years it took for this entire series to come out.īy the way, as this will be talking about this series as a whole, there will be spoilers The Good While I will say it was an interesting thing to watch, especially after such a long time, it was hard to say if it was good or not. Having recently finished the last movie, and hearing the news of more on the way, I have to say that my view on this revitalization experiment is not as shiny and bright. I had long stated that Season 2 was my least favorite season, so that felt like the icing on the cake for a great show. Heck, I was even excited by the rumors (that ended up being true) that the season 2 characters would have very little involvement in the plot. One of my favorite seasons was, of course, the first, and I was excited to see what they could do with these characters in a more modern setting, with them a bit older and tastes and themes in anime having changed since the heyday of the monster partner genre. It’s why I was so excited by the announcement of Digimon Adventure Tri. Though I’ve had a rocky relationship with it, I’ve always admitted myself as a fan of those weird little monsters and their wacky adventures. I’ve been a fan of Digimon ever since I was 11, back in 2001.
