I'm not really sure what's spoilers at this point and what not, so I'm just gonna black everything, sorry.

So… yeah I did not enjoy a whole lot of this really. First of all the reboot still feels too weird. Like, what’s the point? The Digimon don’t know their partners anymore? Well big deal considering only Biyomon really cares since the rest of them are basically their old self again by the end. And wow – we need Sora focus and only Biyomon acts like an asshole for no reason, what a coincidence.

Then of course the old "We throw out some mega evolutions during the last episode"-deal. It felt great when Gomamon and Palmon did it now it just feels wasted. Especially since three people did it now and it makes no sense for the other two.

Also I’m still not a fan of the whole "Evolving through every stage"-thing when Warp evolutions were established in the first season. And aren’t they trying to milk nostalgia? Honestly the PSP game did it better by giving everyone a Warp digivoluton. Not that the new digivolving scenes aren’t neat, but it feels wrong.

Honestly the best thing this new movie / new episodes did for me were the first few minutes where they showed us how the Sovereigns came to be. That was cool. And it gave the new characters some good background since we know what’s going on with them now. But it stops there, because: That chick (Agent lady, sorry I forgot her name) apparently researched reboots. It did not occur to her that a reset would mean Tapirmon would forget her? WTF? I mean you could argue she just wanted a way to bring it back, but that doesn’t really work considering she screams that she wants to be acknowledged by Taprimon, she wants to see it happy to see her. How stupid is this woman?

And then of course the big one: It’s fucking Yggdrasil again. Oh gosh, who saw that coming? I’m sick of this tree honestly. The problem isn’t that they introduced an enemy new to this universe, they had to do that anyways, but it’s one we’ve already seen so much of in other stuff. Its Royal Knights all over again, it’s a virus altering Digimon all over again; it’s Yggdrasil all over again. The whole premise is basically a rip-off of Digimon X, only with Adventure characters and Meicoomon replacing Dorumon.

Another problem for me personally: The characters are getting too old. Not in a physical state but… we know these guys by now. I think they pulled every trick out of their hats to make them interesting again, and it worked with Joe and Sora to an extent, and they have Mei in there too, but now that it seems like they are closing in on their goals I don’t really care anymore.

Introducing / giving the 02 guys some focus is long overdue, especially since the Digimon Emperor is just a black Gennai. I mean Ken being the Emperor again would’ve been just as lame, but this is disappointing still. Also disappointing: Re-using the Dark Masters without any personalities attached to them. I know they are supposed to be copies or something, but wouldn’t it have been great if these guys came back and they could’ve had their rematches? Maybe empowered a bit by that stupid tree? I don’t know. And hey: Wouldn’t a reset mean that the bad guys are back anyways? Apocalymon, anyone? Or even better: Get all the bad guys back and give them new evolutions too, that would’ve been sweet!

To keep it short: This is going on for far longer than it should. A real movie, 100 minutes or whatever, with some really heavy nostalgia tones and a more centered story could’ve been cool. This is just sometimes good, mostly bad. I will see this through because why not, but… I don’t think this what I’ve been waiting to see all these years. Could’ve lived without it really.

Well, good to hear nothing worthwhile has happened since I washed my hands of this series

There really hasn't been. As I said I think the only thing every fan should get a kick out of are the first 10-ish minutes of the first episode of this part. I don't really appreciate the old film look completely without sound and with text slides, but the story is cool. That was something that not only gave us exposition but also put in a puzzle piece for the old series, we now know things about characters we met all those years ago which make sense.

The rest is mostly garbage. It's hurts to say that but I think it's true.

I'm just glad that we got confirmation about the original DigiDestined. Confirmation as if who they were (to some degree) and the fate of them (more or less).

[LockonStratos]

ConfIrmation?

Yes, it does matter, because I thought I was going crazy reading that the first time.

Attention passengers its time to derail this Thread Trailmon to take a stop at the spin off Appmon Station.

The show does get better at 19 onward it seems which makes me happy.

Now will all passengers make their quick breaks for snacks and stuff before the Thread Trailmon returns to the Tri Track.

Universe is still going? It just fell under my radar.

Far as we know it should last ~50 episodes. We stil got a while to go.

Anyway, I guess it has gotten better, but it's a relative term. It's still not really a great show, but...

...hell, I do like the Eri episodes.

Universe? Never heard of this title.
