"Digimon Adventure:" The tale of a new Digimon with a complete fresh story! Tag line: "Taichi and friends face the threat of digital crisis!!" Broadcasting every Sunday at 9AM on Fuji TV beginning April 2020!! The 1999 broadcast of "Digimon Adventure" is reborn as a completely new story set in 2020! We have information on the story and characters, as well as an interview with the producer and screenplay writer! An adventure of the unknown takes place in 2020! STORY: It's the year 2020. Computer networks have become an irreplaceable component for human lifestyles. However, what humans don't know is that on the other side of the network lives an endless world, the Digital World, and the Digimon who live there... Large-scale network malfunctions occur in the capital city area. Streetlights blink erratically, big screen advertisements are filled with garbled text. The news reports it as cyber terrorism. The main character is fifth grader Taichi Yagami, who lives in a high-rise apartment building in the Tokyo suburbs. He has stayed at home alone in order to prepare for his summer camp at the end of the week, but his mother and younger sister Hikari who have gone out to Shibuya are trapped inside a moving train that can't be braked. Taichi hurries to Shibuya to save his mom and sister, but the moment he heads to the train station platform... Something strange happens and Taichi finds himself in the Digital World! The children meet their Digimon partners and face an unknown "adventure"...! We also have short details for the new version of Taichi and Agumon: The passionate young boy who takes action, TAICHI YAGAMI: A fifth grader who lives in the Tokyo suburbs! He has a strong sense of justice, and will always run to help when his family and friends are in danger! His speech line: "Let's go! We're the only ones who can stop them!" The "Digimon" waiting for Taichi, AGUMON: A monster shaped like a dinosaur who meets Taichi Yagami when he wanders into his world. His speech line: "I finally meet you, Taichi!" The mysterious creatures "Digimon," a word that is short for "Digital Monsters" who live in the digital world. They come in various species, such as dinosaur, bird, and even robot. Through "evolution," they change shape and power up! (Also a short interview with the producer and writer:) Interview with the producer Hiroyuki Sakurada and the screenplay writer Atsuhiro Tomioka. 1. What points should we pay attention to in the new visual poster? Sakurada: There's the new Digivice that Taichi is holding, as well as the starring characters whose designs have changed a bit. In the background, the bottom part of it is the real world, while the upper part is the Digital World. 2. What kind of story is it? Tomioka: Digimon will cause dangers in the real world, which Taichi and the others will solve through the Digital World. There will be some realism in the dangers that happen. 3. What are the highlights of this series? Sakurada: The battle scenes, which will make the best use of each Digimon's "special trait." How they face on the ability of the Digimon attacking them will differ. We'll be showing each monster's charmpoint through their fighting. 4. What Digimon will appear in the show? Tomioka: It will be like a festival. We'll be showing as many as possible, according to the situation, without holding back. We also have a small surprise ready after their partner has evolved! (via WTW’s post): They leave off saying that Digimon.net will 'open' on January 21st, so it looks like they are planning on redoing the official Bandai Digimon website based on the new show.
A video will be on the website on January 24th.
(* My [izzyizumi]’s Note: there is also a video stream in Japan that was already previously announced for January 24th, so this is speculation but
LOOKS LIKE WE’LL (MAY)BE (BE) GETTING A TEASER SOON AFTER ALL ? ) There is a bit of further information/translations on WTW’s post re: the new card game, etc.!
