New 'Digimon Adventure 02' Anime Movie Announced Based on Sequel Series
Digimon fans rejoice! During DigiFes 2021, which celebrates the joy of August 1st, the day the seven DigiDestined children were first transported to the Digital World back in the original series, Toei Animation announced a brand new Digimon movie. To make things better, it will be based on the Digimon Adventure 02 anime.
Extremely little is known about the production so far, but Toei revealed that director Tomohisa Taguchi and writer Akatsuki Yamatoya are reuniting from Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna to work on the new film. The story will focus on Daisuke Motomita (also known as Davis Motomiya in the English dub), and feature the rest of the characters from Digimon Adventure 02. According to Anime News Network, producer Yōsuke Kinoshita emphasized why they wanted to tell a story about the 02 characters by pointing that they have a different appeal than Tai and the first Digimon Adventure kids.
The teaser does offer some hints as to what the movie may be about, as we hear Daisuke telling a story of how he and his Digimon partner V-mon once met a kid with a Digivice, but no Digimon with him, before he explains that he is “the first person to ever partner with a Digimon.” And with that, Kouji Wada‘s original opening “Target ~Akai Shougeki~” fills the trailer with sweet, sweet nostalgia.
