Digimon Adventure's Reboot Is Key to the Franchise's Evolution
Original source: io9.gizmodo.com
Much in the same way that Digimon can’t truly “die,” the DigiDestined are coming back in a fascinating way.
Unlike Last Evolution Kizuna, which is set in 2010 (in keeping with the passage of time established in the original series), Toei’s new reboot Digimon Adventure: reimagines Tai and the other DigiDestined as young children living in modern-day Japan.
(Note that the colon hanging out at the end of Digimon Adventure: is a purposeful choice to differentiate the reboot from the original.)
In a way, Digimon Adventure: is the Digiegg meant to be born in Last Evolution Kizuna’s wake.
While Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna’s premiere here in the U. S. has currently been postponed, Digimon Adventure: is set to hit Fuji TV on April 5.
