Synopsis:

Five children, each uniquely linked to the digital world, unexpectedly discover a secluded island realm teeming with Digimon. This isolated locale is divided by a deep-seated conflict between two distinct factions: the primal Beast Digimon and the enigmatic Human Digimon. Witnessing an unlikely friendship blossom between a young Beast and Human Digimon sparks a realization in the children – that the animosity between these groups is unwarranted. The series explores themes of prejudice, understanding, and the potential for connection across seemingly insurmountable divides as the children navigate this new world and attempt to bridge the gap between its warring inhabitants. It offers a contemplative look at fostering empathy and challenging established perceptions within a vibrant digital ecosystem.

    Wow, this is an old story type used for centuries in story's and fairy tales. Our adventure's get into a certain city, were two kinds of Digimon live, the Beast type and the Human type, both have been in a feud for years. They blame each other for it. Of course our heroes gets mixed up in it, those 3 join the humans and those three the beasts, but they quickly find Digimon who haven't been busy with the feud, they're friends with each other, both sides end the feud, our he...roes reunite en become friends again, but then a greater evil appears and everyone hasto work together. Just a basic ol' story type.nnThere wasn't much of a introduction to this movie, that's too bad. The art is like is supposed to be, the same style as the Digimon Frontier series, the sounds good, a lot of fun voice actors who worked on this movie (for the Digimon). The characters are good too, Takuya and Kouji are fighting like always, just like that the other characters are the same as in the series. Good sound, nice quality, normal animation.nnIf you liked Digimon Frontier, or one of the early seasons (1 or 2) this movie is recommended, it gives a vibe which is used on the first two and the fourth season, and the movies that belong to those season. Highly enjoyable for a Digimon lover, but for the other anime watchers, teenagers/adult or kids, this is a anime movie that stays fun to watch.

    I think this could have being an enjoyable movie if it didn´t last for 40 minutes. You can tell the anime studio was making a full-lenght film but there had to cut stuff for whatever reason, hence why there only kept the key parts of the plot but without any character development or worldbuilding that could have improved the story. Kinda of a shame since the Human-Beast War was barely touch upon in the actual series, it made me wanting more. While is not a terrible movie is not something you´re gonna missed either. Also what´s up with those Carnival floats? Are those Digimon too? This OVA leftso many questions.
