Digimon Tamers: Boukensha-tachi no Tatakai

This was a pretty intresting story, someone makes up a cute program, which gets infected by the bad Digimon etc, so all the electronic things go into mayhem. Haha, too bad no one died.

Anyway, the story's pretty cool, they did a good job on it in this Digimon Tamers movie, a great job actually. The art is still the same, the quality's just a bit better, so is the animation and the sound, still gotta love Guilmon's voice actor right?

The dissapointing parts of the mo...vies are the fights in the movies, they can barely defeat the weak Digimon, evolve way to easy and if they ... do, they can defeat them in one attack, the higher-up digimon got eliminated in an instant too, and the final "boss" was another piece of that digital cake. Really dissapointing.

But that aside, we got a few new cool characters which got introduced, an old friend of Takato, Kai. A surfer looking guy who's carefree and lives in a temple, then we've got that grandfather of Kai. An old dude playing some kind of guitarish instrument, he even fights against a Digimon using.. ka-ra-te(?), without succes of course. And then the girl, Minami, the one that introduces the problem to Kai and Takato. Some others too, but those don't matter, but they did a great job, I love the new characters, and of course the old.

Highly enjoyable for digimon lovers and other people.

This is a 50 minute film where the main cast of Digimon Tamers go on vacation and get caught up in another Digimon battle with evil Digimon. It's nothing incredible, but it was enjoyable and a welcome addition to the Digimon Tamers series, in my opinion. Many of the technical aspects that I praised in the main series are still good here. The animation is great for the genre, demographic, and the time period it came out in, the returning characters are exactly the same as they were in the main series personality wise, (my favorite's still Ruki, but my only major criticism is that ... she doesn't show up nearly enough, maybe 5-10 minutes in total, same goes for her Digimon, Renamon, too). The plot itself was kind of forced and not well explained. Makes it seem like this was meant to be a much longer feature, like maybe an hour and a half or 2 hours, that was condensed down into just 50 minutes for some reason. But for what it is I enjoyed it. Sadly there's only one more installment in Digimon Tamers after this, Tamers never got the Digimon Adventure treatment with how many installments it received even though it absolutely deserved it.
