“After 15 years, from the summer vacation…

If we didn’t go to the Digiworld, if I didn’t make this trip with you guys, if we didn’t change like this…

These Digimon were always with us…

We’ve been friends all this time…

We learnt the importance of helping each other…

All those things have made us who we are.”

 –Digimon Adventures Tri Trailer2014

Insert fangirl squealing here

Many heads  turned back to the past when the sound that they have not heard for almost 16 years finally resonated through the different social media networks.

The sound of the Digivice echoes, and together with its return is the news of one of the most nostalgic series that taught the younger version of our generation the true value of friendship, camaraderie, and adventure.

Yes, my fellow Digidestined Chosen Children, Digimon is back.

Agumondigivolve too…!

A lot has happened since this show’s first season, “Digimon Adventures”, first aired in 1999 in Japanese television, and less than a year later, in other TV sets around the globe. After the successful completion of its first 54 episodes by the 26^th March of the year 2000, the anime has gone on to spawn 7  sequel series and 9 movies. Not to mention the different toys, games, manga (Japanese comics), and other merchandise released under the same franchise. As the years go by, more and more fans, old and new, are attracted to this fantastic world of digital monsters fighting alongside their human partners, going on this grand adventure greater than themselves, all while learning different important lessons along the way.

The story revolves around the different sets of “Chosen Children” or the “Digidestined” who are sent to this parallel world called the “Digital World”, commonly known as the Digiworld—originating from the Earth’s various communication networks. Each  of these children are partnered up with digital creatures called “Digimon” (short for Digital Monsters), which they are to raise (through the process called “Digivolution”, short for digital evolution) and fight alongside with as they go against evil Digimons and even human beings in order to protect both the Digiworld and the human world.

Agumondigivolve too…!

 Fans of the first season are the most hyped, as Toei, one of Digimon’s producers, reveals that this new installment, entitled “Digimon Adventures Tri”, stars the original eight Digidestined/Chosen Children, now all grown-up and most even in their high school years. According to AnimeNewsNetowrk.com, “AtsuyaUki (Cencoroll) will do the character designs, YuukoKakihara (Heaven’s Lost Property) will act as series script supervisor, and KeitaroMotonaga (Rayearth) will direct.”
