It has been revealed that a new promotional video titled "Digimon Adventure -BEYOND-" will be produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of "Digimon Adventure", the first TV anime in the popular "Digimon" series, which includes anime and games. It cuts out a scene from the TV anime "Digimon Adventure 02" leading up to the final episode, and features the grown-up protagonist Taichi and friends. The insert song "brave heart" plays.
The promotional video will be directed by Hiroyuki Kakudo, series director of "Digimon Adventure" and "Digimon Adventure 02", and character design will be handled by Rie Nishimura, who served as general animation director of "Digimon Adventure 02 THE BIGINNING". The image visual shows the backs of a grown-up Taichi and Yamato. The promotional video will be released at "DIGIMON CON 2025", which will be held around the end of March 2025.
Director Kakudo commented, "It's been 25 years since the TV anime 'Digimon Adventure' began. It's only thanks to the support of our fans that we've been able to continue doing all these things. Thank you so much. I decided to make this video as a way of thanking everyone. I'm working on storyboards for Taichi and the others for the first time in a while. It's not a very long video, but you'll see Agumon and the others working with them in a slightly different way than before. I think it will be especially enjoyable for everyone who has always believed they have a partner Digimon. I hope you'll look forward to it."
Digimon was released as a mobile game in June 1997, and the first TV anime, "Digimon Adventure," aired from 1999 to 2000. It was broadcast in 58 countries and regions, including Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, the United States, and Latin America, and gained popularity. "Digimon Adventure 02," "Digimon Tamers," "Digimon Frontier," "Digimon Savers," and other titles were produced, and the series is beloved as a long-lasting piece of content.
