Yeah, tri. 5 is honestly just, the fifth part of tri. More of the same. People who've enjoyed it so far will probably like this too, but honestly I'm kind of over it. Nothing about the movie excited me or interested me, which disappoints me more than the movie itself. There's one or two things that happen that are at least a little cool or interesting but I just can't seem to be able to care.

Also only one movie left and still not addressing the 02 kids at all? What the fuck? There's so much they could have done with the time they've spent on (what feels like) going endlessly in circles with the characters.

Oh, and Appmon just ended. I wouldn't really compare the two, but honestly, Appmon does share at least some flaws with tri. Mainly that they spent way too much time on vacuous and inconsequential shit at times when maybe they should have devoted more attention to the ongoing plot and characters. Not that I'd lever the filler complaint at it because ultimately it is an episodic show by design, but they just...frequently keep devoting entire episodes to bullshit up to like episode 49.

Personally I would have at least given Ai Onmon soon after Yuujin got Offmon or something. Feels like it would have been a more productive thing to pad out the late-middle of the show (and infinitely preferable to bootquest).

Also, the God Grade Appmon should have showed up earlier. There's something commendable about only breaking out the final forms at the very end of the show, but it meant they weren't able to properly show off how powerful they actually were because Leviathan was just too powerful. Spending most of the very limited time you have as final forms over 3-4 episodes losing is not a good showing.

As for the ending itself, it was fine, I suppose. Up until the last 10 seconds or so. That was just too pointless. At least the fight scene was cool.

I'd give the show as a whole like, 5-6/10, max. There were a few things I did like about it, at least.
