Taichi Adventure 2020 (And some others) - Rant Time :3
4 years ago
--> My T.O.S. <--
Some stuff based on the opinion that whoever directed Digimon Adventure 2020 should probably not be a director.
I don't know who the director is or if they were evolved in the original seasons btw, just saying xd
- WHY CANT WE HAVE A SINGLE EPISODE WITHOUT TAICHI?
He was the main character before, of course, but back then we had 7 more main leads together with him, so you could
figure out for yourself who you liked the most. Now it's just Taichi and a couple side characters. And whenever it's now
their time in the spotlight, Taichi will just drag along and steal said spotlight in the end. Long story short, we could need
a Taichi-break.
- HOW ARE THESE GRAVITY DEFYING CHILDREN NOT CONSTANTLY DYING?
It's beyond me how they're still alive, I just don't understand. They "fight" on top of their partners going at Mach 7, not
holding on to anything, just... collecting Chackra at their feet to hold on or something no matter from which height they
occasionally drop or which mountain-pulverizing blast hits them face on, they barely have a couple scratches on them in
the end. It's so extreme that you can't even answer "it's just anime, just fantasy and not real". Something being fiction doesn't
mean you can BS your way around absolutely everything and this takes me out of the experience for there are literally no
stakes at all and no danger at any time, which eventually gets rid of any emotional tension they are trying to build up, thus
having those moments fall flat.
- SOME OF THESE PEOPLE / DIGIS HAVE A SPECIAL LEVEL OF CRINGE TO IT
Maybe I remember wrong, but I liked Hikari very much in the original series. But she's such a psycho here x3 You can't tell
me she behaves normal in any way, shape or form, it's like she suffers from some mental illness that is never explained, she
is just sooo eerie, and I can't tell if that's because she's written that way or because of bad facial animations or whatever,
but she's just such a creepy pile of cringe.
Unfortunately it's somewhat the same with Gatomon and very very much so with Lopmon, their monologing is sooo over
the top it's unbelievable.
- MISCELLANEOUS
Non-Existent pacing
Power of Friendship asspulls to solve every problem. I mean Fairy Tail final season levels of that.
Other than that, we got some nice animations every now and then plus that evolution sequences are usually really cool~
The one thing I'll really recommend them for is not using any CGI on the Digimon, pretty much no matter in which form,
like those are some detailled guys and everything's done without CGI. Feels like the show as a whole could have had 20
episodes less with proper pacing and leaving out some really useless stuff and given them the time and budget to animate
what's already decent a little bit better with more highlights that'll stick in people's heads instead of what feels like filler
episodes that are forgotten immediately.
Aaand that's it.
Still enjoying it for what it is~

So it will be very difficult to see again a series of digimon with good plot and character development in these years~ u.u
Adventure 1998 didn't have a plot either, but the characters were very well developed, but here... Why does everyone even exist again? These kids act like robots.
At least they let Leomon live.
And I agree, the kids are sooo... okay with everything that gets thrown at them, not reacting a whole lot like humans x3
Well it gave us big mons here and there so that's the one plus I can gain from it.
Now for the audience to create even more big mons.
As for the rest, it's just a cash grab on nostalgia.
And maybe make a more condensed 12-24 episodes-story instead of 60 random episodes glued together x3
I don't watch it anymore, have tried, but it's become waaaay too girly for me. The original precure was a banger though~
