On March 7, 1999, an anime based on a game premiered on Fuji TV in Japan. In that era when various girly manga was rampant, this anime with 8 children as the protagonists was broadcast all over the world, becoming an indelible childhood mark in the hearts of a generation.
In February 2020, on the 20th anniversary of the completion of the first Digimon, the countless works of this sequel finally ushered in the final chapter, and in this work called Digimon Adventure: The Last Evolution, the "selected children" gathered again, but sadly, this long-lost appearance was also their final curtain.
When I first saw the final evolution of digimon, I didn't quite understand what it meant, and I cried when I watched the movie. Only to understand what this means.
Childhood is over, and we can't go back to that little us
"Taiichi/Ah Ho, what we will do tomorrow"
"We..."
It is so painful that the words have not finished before they have finished, and our childhood is like the unfinished words between them, there are always regrets but also irreparable!!!
"Taiyi, Ah He, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
We can enjoy the sunset by the lake, we can greet the autumn wind blowing harmonica on the rooftop, we can eat dessert together in the restaurant, we can eat cantaloupe-flavored ice cream at Odaiba...
But time flies so fast, and many things we have never done before we have passed that age. Gradually we changed, we went to school far away from home, and occasionally we would come home. We have a life plan, step by step forward. We have new friends, there is nothing to sit together and get together... And digimon, the creature that picked you up in your childhood, drifts away from you and slowly disappears from your life.
Taiichi lied to him and didn't buy him the popsicle he wanted to eat.
Ah He lied to him, and the harmonica was still playing the old song that had been.
From childhood to adulthood, they have never changed, they have always been us.
