SOME THOUGHTS ON DIGIMON TRI 3rd MOVIE : CONFESSION

Helloooo everyone, I am sorry for being so late to post

but the good thing is that I had a whole lotta time to catch up on mangas and animes on my list so updates will be more frequent as I will try to put my thoughts down regarding the stuff that I have watched.

The most recent anime in my mind is obviously digimon tri's third movie: confession. If you haven't checked it out, here's the trailer:
Digimon is special to me because it basically represents my childhood and all the things good regarding it. There was and still is nothing which I love more than digimon (pretty sure that's not gonna change anytime soon). 

But I should mention that I loved only the first two seasons of the franchise, after that it kinda deteriorated a lot in terms of both ideas and its execution. But its a topic for later debates and discussions.

Now, for an important question- why didn't I review or give my thoughts on the first two movies and the answer is simply because I didn't particularly like it. Even though I get that those two movies were just setting up the plot for the third movie, but I felt that it kinda lacked something- mainly that I couldn't connect emotionally to the cause of the characters sufferings and dilemmas. It felt like it was made without any coherent ideas and that the series was mainly rebooted to cash in on the nostalgia of the fans.

But one thing which I really loved were of course the digimons who are as adorable and powerful as ever. In the first two, we got to see the mega evolutions of Lilymon and Zudomon to Rosemon and Vikemon. It finally satisfied a lot of fans who were waiting precisely for that and the combination of 'braveheart' and 'butterfly' provided the biggest nostalgia punch. I gotta admit, the re-vamped version does sound better.

Now, onto the third movie- what did I like the most about it? To put it simply-
The emotional conflict. I also loved how at the end
*spoilers*


when all the digimons were trying their hardest to protect their partners, the portrayal of sacrifice came through beautifully and obviously the kid's return to digiworld sets up the tone for the next movie wonderfully.

I remember that at the end of season 1, Taichi hopes that he would be able to visit the digiworld again and I love how it actually happens with all the old gang present. I know that they did visit it in season 2, but there is a charm in them visiting it together without the other kids.

So yeah, that pretty much sums up my experience of watching it and the fact that I bawled like a baby at the end.

So Bye for now.
