Digimon Adventure
What's the Story?
In DIGIMON ADVENTURE, Tai Kamiya (voiced by Yuko Sanpei in Japanese and by Zeno Robinson in English) discovers during a public disaster that he's one of the DigiDestined and is called to fight the evils in the Digital World that cause problems in the Human World. He and his Digimon companion, Agumon (voiced by Chika Sakamoto in Japanese and by Benjamin Diskin in English), journey to gather the other DigiDestined and protect both worlds from impending doom.
Is It Any Good?
This franchise children's cartoon remade for new audiences loses some of its classic charm because it's so fast paced. Digimon Adventure is still a fun installment in the media franchise, but its rapid pace leaves fans wanting. The stakes are high from the start, but conflict is solved too quickly to feel satisfying. Exciting battle sequences overshadow the positive social lessons that the original series was known for. Viewers still may appreciate how the characters and settings have been updated for a new era.
