bookofholsety: (Default)


so, this week marks the 20th anniversary of the animu side of digimon: wednesday was 20 years since the release of the pilot film for adventure, while thursday was 20 years since the debut of adventure proper. and of course, the franchise as a whole turns 22 in june. digimon, chiefly in its animu form, has been a massive presence throughout my entire life, so i thought it might be nice to give the anniversaries a nod with a look at just why that is. this is a list of 22 installments of the digimon animu (both television and films) which, to me, exemplify what makes digimon so special and why i hold it in such high regard: why, to me, digimon at its best is more than just a children's animu meant to sell toys. (i mean, it absolutely is that too, but at its best it goes far above and beyond that particular call of duty, you know what i mean?) think of it as 22 reasons why you, too, abstract concept of a reader who definitely exists, should sit the hell down and give it a watch sometime

fair warning: this is going to get very pretentious and rambly. as soon as i started writing this, i rapidly realised that i'm not very good at this sort of thing

i've had this sitting in my drafts for months now and i've kept meaning to finish it when i have the time to spare. i guess now is as good a time as ever

it shouldn't come as any surprise by this point that this thing is full of huge spoilers! i strongly recommend watching the thing, then coming back here. actually, come to think of it, i'd say now's a very good time to start watching the entire series if you haven't already, since the end of part 3 is a pretty comfortable resting point with none of the same excruciating cliffhangers that part 2 offered

oh goddamnit, toei. you cannot be serious right now. you're leaving us on such a colossal cliffhanger for six goddamn months? really? it'd be easier and less excruciating to just murder me right now. yeah. just fire a toy digivice out of a cannon at high velocity and let it wreck me. you're already half-way there so just commit to it already

anyway, you know the drill. here be spoilers. if you haven't watched it yet, go fix that on crunchyroll right now, then we'll talk. alternatively, don't, because this is one hell of an excruciating cliffhanger

oh, and my thoughts on part 1 are back over here

i just finished watching the first part of tri, and i have so many feelings and opinions about it that i figured i ought to try and organise them into a big-ass post

needless to say, this is going to veer right into spoiler territory, so if you haven't watched tri part 1 and you intend to, DO IT RIGHT NOW. the entire thing's up on crunchyroll so get yourself a free trial and watch it. now. even if you don't give a shit i'd also recommend watching it anyway, but of course i'd say that

anyway
