I've been waiting for this day!
It is most interesting to see how you place these adult elements in a broader and more illuminating thematic context here, especially when compared to your epic live-tweet session at the time. (You should do so more often if the occasion suits you—it was utter hilarity!) It seems, touchingly or otherwise, that Digimon has an awareness of its older fans' own development that its rivalling franchise either doesn't wish, or perhaps doesn't need, to acknowledge. |

Do do I need to have seen Digimon Adventure in order to understand this show?

I didn't know it was censored in the US dub. I watched it dubbed in my mother tongue, Brazilian Portuguese, and they didn't censor anything afaik. 
I'd say you don't need to, but it's a show that appeals mainly to the fans of the original series, so I don't know how enjoyable it'd be for you without it. |

No, there fan service. I'm looking at you Rosemon!
I enjoyed this more than the first part but I found Joe's resolution to be forced and everything tied up unnaturally. Then they ended with not one, not two, but THREE ciffhangers! The September release date makes it all the more painful. I won't lie, I'm glad I beat Cyber Sleuth before watching this because it gives me an idea to where it's going. |

It will obviously be explained in the next films since Izzy started hypothesizing that the message about going through the darkness may be a prophecy about Ultimate evolution. That there is the mention. This movie was more about Mimi and Jou and both people faced personal problems and overcame them - overcoming their own darkness and so they were able to digivolve their Digimon further/ The final battle could have been better animated and more intense and the animation was so clearly Toei - as in sloppy at certain frames that's clearly noticeable. It's nice that Rosemon at least had a sizeable chest and jiggle though. |

I admit that, to my surprise, the mild fanservice throughout didn't bother me, with the exception of Rosemon. Her ever expanding bosom wasn't a problem for me, but that jiggle was just weird. Her whole body is still, except for her breasts, and they they just sort of flop unappealingly rather than bounce enticingly. I mean, I get that the budget was really straining itself at that point, but if you can't manage a GOOD boob jiggle, why have one at all? Yikes, that gave me KonoSuba vibes. |

spoiler[While it's possible his data can somehow make its way to the digital world again to be reborn, it's likely his "spirit" is stuck in the real world now. The show never explicitly stated it, but thanks to season '02, we all know Wizardmon was stuck in the real world as of his defeat, as was Vamdemon/Myostismon. Not one example, but two pretty much solidify that yes, Digimon that "die" in the real world stay in the real world as lingering data in some ghostly form or another.] Personally, I found the first episode to do a few things, but the most telling was how Mimi barged into the men's bath to distract all the boys and allow the other girls to slip past. She doesn't even hesitate, where most girls in Japan would probably never do that in the first place, no matter how desperate. It's so bold that it strikes the audience with surprise and leads pretty well into what happens afterward with her character. |

One more problem I have with Rosemon, she is both Lalamon and Palmon's final forms. Sure, Data Squad was a while back but I wish they used something else for variety's sake. Something I needed to get off my chest (god dammit).

I didn't like the festival part. Boring, cliche slice of life crap, didn't feel like Digimon. Everything else was alright. Evolutions were boss, like Digimon always does.

Honestly I think Lalamon should of used Lotosmon, while Palmon keeps Rosemon(her intended Mega/Ultimate). |

Except those were an integral part of the plot in the original Adventures. Some people just can't help but rag on this as if the whole series was all about just them in Digiworld.  [/b]

While animation is not so good (and the art sometimes too) I'm surprised of how much I'm loving Tri. I was so ready to be disappointed, and it going so well!
I do think some important things happened between the end of 02 and the beginning of Tri. We know the gate to the Digital World has been closed, but why? Since peace was restored by the end of 02, why would the gate close? I'm thinking somewhere between 02 and Tri, Daisuke, Miyako, Iori and Ken went to the Digital World and the gate closed, making them stuck in it. This might be the reason why these characters are not mentioned by the other kids. They know they are not in the real world, so they don't "need" to mention them when they go to reunions or fights. Just a theory. |

The last drama CD from way back after the second season suggested very heavily that the doors to the digital world and the transition to the point where practically everyone has a partner Digimon didn't happen immediately, but over a long span of time. In 02, not anyone could just go into the digital world. So the only real mystery is why it had been a while since the kids saw their partners when the end of 02 never said they separated before becoming adults. Something happened between for sure. Or maybe it was a simple "We'll be back when the gates open up again" thing they inserted into the end of 02 (it's plausible). |

I will look at this new Izzy the same way considering he shares his voice with Lux from "Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut". I say this because I think the casting director did a crap job (to put it nicely) casting a woman as a harem guy because I feel she doesn't suit his voice.
