Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna

It's hard to face reality in which you live, if you're a grown up person who has lived through the late 90's. or if you're a fan of the older Digimon series, you'll understand the gut wrenching pain of departing from something that you've grown to adore. With that said, Last Evolution Kizuna is the real ending for the Adventure franchise, it offers not only some of the best character development, animations, fight scenes and themes which I've I frankly never seen as heavily explored in this franchise, but we also get a more compelling antagonist with ideals that come from a genuine place, which makes you as the viewer conflicted about your choices.

This makes up for the Tri movies that came before it, I'm probably biased, but my nostalgia alone couldn't let me ignore the multitude of issues those films had, this one however, hits home, all the way to the core. This is for the fans, And I enjoyed it!

As a Digimon fan who was sorely disappointed with the Adventure Tri movie series, I was reluctant to watch Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna. ("Kizuna") However, the Kizuna trailer convinced me to watch the movie. Older Digimon fans should not miss Kizuna, for I think this movie was targeting us.

Personally, it was an overwhelming emotional roller coaster ride from start to end. At certain points of the movie, I could resonate with the feelings joy and sorrow of Taichi & Yamato, especially the parts on growing up and moving forward in life. Digimon has always featured some difficult questions that children face, while providing some moral values as guidance.

The producers of Digimon obviously learned from its mistakes in Adventure Tri. Elements which were essential to Digimon fans from the Digimon Adventure series and the first movie are abundant in Kizuna. The main plot in Kizuna is simple and despite some shortcomings, manages to keep its focus on a few crucial themes.

Having little expectations for this movie helps, as it allows us to finally have a nice closure for Digimon Adventure.

I grew up with this anime series and I am a kind of surprised about the opening song. The story is light, simple, yet touching, that makes me feel like 'I watched it as a kid that I used to be'. It really brings back memories. If you're not a fan of Digimon series, you probably find this movie just ordinary. Let this movie be last of Digimon Adventure

When you grown up, you will leave memory behind either it was good or bad. Sad thing you could never meet it again. Some passed away, some just wanted to be forgotten.

Oh man, from where to start! I am now an adult and I used to watch Digimon when I was in my early teen years. This movie is a perfectly done finale for that era, the music, the evolution sequences, the cinematography! I am very very very biased to Digimon and this movie is perfect, I cried alot around the end of the movie. If you loved the original series you will love this movie!

The only thing I would've loved to see is more of Angemon/Angewomon and their evolutions but that's okay! We can't have Angemon the hero every time :) but loved that it was the first Digimon to grace the screen in this movie.
