WhilePokemonmay be the more popular franchises overall,Digimonhas built up its own respectable following, largely thanks to the well-receivedDigimonanime series. The originalDigimonanime series in particular was quite popular, spawning a sequel series, films, and more. OtherDigimonanime series have been set in other areas with different characters, but now Toei Animation is bringing back the original cast for a 2020 reboot.
The newDigimon Adventureanime series will feature the same cast of human characters and partner Digimon that fans will remember from the original show. The key difference is that the setting is being updated to actually be set in 2020. The new series will be a reboot, though it’s unclear how close it will follow the original show and what changes will be made to the story.

It’s possible that the newDigimon Adventureseries is just an exact re-telling of the story from the original anime series, but with updated animation. The trailer leaves a lot to the imagination, so it’s hard to know what to expect at this point. The series is set to air in Japan this April, though, soDigimonfans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to see what this newDigimon Adventureanime has to offer.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if this newDigimonanimehas an impact on theDigimonvideo games. Bandai Namco has been publishingDigimonvideo games on a consistent basis for decades now, and one has to imagine that there would be some appeal to adapting the newDigimon Adventureanime series.
While aDigimon Adventurevideo game could possibly be in the cards, fans should expect Bandai Namco to continue with its various video game sub-series as well.Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuthwas well-received by fans, and this year will see the launch of a brand newDigimonvideo game calledDigimon Survive.
BetweenDigimon Surviveand the newDigimon Adventureanime series, it seems fans of the franchise have a lot to look forward to this year. We’ll find out if the newDigimonanime series lives up to the hype come its April premiere, and hopefully news on a dubbed version comes sooner rather than later.
