That Time Agumon Kissed A Girl | Review

[@overseerpjoe9477]

Rhythm is a Digital Lifeform, not a Digimon, which explains why she doesn't have "mon" at the end of her name. She's closer to Gennai from Adventure in that regards. Also, her and Algomon's names are a pun on Algorithm.

[@Kenichi2002]

Oh thats cool o.o

[@avch1209]

I thought she would evolve at the end of the movie

[@thatonelucariofan503]

Speaking as a life long Tatsuya Nagamine and Precure fan I have some context that should help explain some things in this film. First off, you were completely correct to read the relationship between Augumon and Rhythm as romantic, because it is actually a frequent theme in the director Nagamine’s work. Nagamine has directed several Precure entries including directing both Yes Precure 5 Miracle in the Mirror Kingdom and the sequel Yes 5 Gogo: Happy Birthday in the Land of Sweets. What is notable about those Precure entries is that they contained multiple relationships between the human magical girls, and their Digimon esque “fairy” mascots. In fact the entry Yes 5 Gogo: Happy Birthday actually featured the first ever on screen kiss in Precure history between the main human magical girl and her mascot Coco. Director Nagamine is also definetely to thank for the high quality animation and directing of the Digimon Savers movies because his work on Yes 5 Precure is equally beautiful. Nagamine is of course now currently working as the Head Director for One Peice’s anime series as well which just further proves his talent. Also Nagamine was the director of Heartcatch Precure which is the most acclaimed Precure entry and yep you better believe that Director Nagamine found a way to work in some human magical girl X fairy romance in that season too: basically in Heartcatch Precure the main girl’s grandmother is revealed to have also been a magical girl when she was young like the main character. And her grandmother also has her own mascot animal partner who is a very large cat like fairy. The large cat like fairy is revealed to be able to shapeshift into human form, and the main girl’s grandmother will regularly go on dates with her mascot/cat fairy while he is disguised as her deceased husband. This one is kinda treated like a bit of a tragic joke though since she’s relying on her fairy to transform into her deceased husband to deal with her grief so… yeah. O_O Heartcatch Precure is rightfully considered one of the best anime ever but it is really really screwed up lol. And yep all of this stuff is by Nagamine as the Head Director on them, so clearly Nagamine likes to explore romance between humans and non human fairy/mascot critters. It’s actually kinda cool that he is so interested in this.

I honestly think a Digimon Savers retrospective would be good to see too! I rewatched it about a year ago and it's one of the better Digimon seasons tbh

[@ThiccFilA3]

Agreed, I love that the protagonist always tries to punch every enemy 😂

[@mastergreeen1385]

seconded!

[@ChronoShadow69]

Man, it really wouldn't have been Digimon Savers without Masaru decking a skyscraper-sized Digimon in the face. I freaking loved this season, and the movie does not disappoint!

[@CD-Gaming]

I remember when I first watched Data Squad, I thought, "is this basically what's going to happen each and every episode? A New enemy shows up and Marcus punches it in the face?"! Then Thomas showed up! Funnily enough, I've watched it in English about three times now, that still never gets old, though, I slightly suspect Kurata and Belphemon might jus have somert to do with that...

[@Godzilla00X]

Honestly this movie had no right to be as good as it was. Tbh its surprising the franchise never wanted to try a digimon solo story prior. The ending credits was such a treat

[@Riku_Light]

@@Aioba3846MY favorite digimon movie

[@amarolidris4324]

​@@Aioba3846 yeah that and this, basically only two of Digimon solo story. They should've make more of it.

[@DigiWarriorCallum]

Here's hoping if Discotek does a movie release of this, they dub this like they redubbed the original 3 movies. The action and the storyboarding, even the Pixar like animated bloopers was my favourite thing about the project. ShineGreymon vs Algomon Mega is really awesome. I still don't know if I like that the movie starts like the part B with a missing part A.

[@mattwo7]

2:31 Considering they're both rookies, you'd think Gaomon could just use his natural boxing skills. I'm sure Goblin Slayer would be proud though.

[@KvasmoTube]

Goblimon slayer 😂

[@TheAggroQueen]

GeoGrey Sword: *gets destroyed... AGAIN* Marcus: The GeoGrey Sword isn't working?! When has it EVER worked outside it's debut episode?? To this day I still question the point of that thing was, especially compared to ShineGreymon's Glorious Burst.

[@swordkingx4874]

Honestly I think it was a meant to be a toy acessory for a Shinegreymon toy, or be something used in a video game and they wanted to promote it. I think of it like Transformrs Beast Wars, new toy gets introduced, toy looks badass and awesome kicking everyones butt, later on becomes a joke.

[@mattwo7]

At least no one ever said it always works, unlike Emerald Splash, which no one can deflect even though it gets deflected every time it's used or Captain America's shield which according to his 1966 theme song, when thrown, anyone who opposes him must yield.

[@Metallic_977]

It was obviously meant to be a toy lol

[@leowindthehedgehog]

As a fan of Sonic and Digimon, another parallel between 06 and Savers is how Solaris and the Yggdrasil avatar really look alike when you think about it!

[@fernandomalpica1870]

This is like the reverse when Ash got kissed by the red flying pokemon pretending to be a girl, forgot it's name.

[@HiroUey]

The name of the Pokemon is Latias, she kissed Ash while in the form of a human girl named Bianca.

[@fernandomalpica1870]

@@HiroUey Ok, that one, yes.

[@DusBeforeDawn2008]

Chikorita and Meloletta are also attracted to ash, the later being partiucrly impressive since Meloetta doesn't have a gender

[@Yfighter2]

It was a Latina

[@Kenichi2002]

Mhm... the "mystery" in this scene is, we the audience aswell as Ash, Misty and Brock, dont know if it was for sure, Latias, pretending to be Bianca, or Bianca herself, kissing Ash. There is no surce, that said clear "That was Latias"

[@deppo436]

Man I always wanted a Digimon show/or another game that purely focused on the Digimon themselves rather than the tamers so to learn about this movie would've made 10 year old me excited beyond anything, especially since Agumon is the main character in this. And the fact that they added bloopers at the end is very charming, not many movies do that anymore. During the mid 2000s they fizzled out quickly, even Pixar stopped doing them which was one of several things their movies were known for early on. I was worried when I heard about the "human" and Digimon relationship as it was also giving me Sonic 06 flashbacks, but it seems to be handled here a lot better than whatever was going on in that mess of a game with Sonic and Elise lol

[@animeguy1101]

So Rhythm is basically a young girl version of Gennai, a digimon with no attributes making them look human if I remember that explanation right. The line from Agumon about levels not mattering with strength feels like foreshadowing him going burst mode and beating Yggdrasil in the final episode.

[@vustvaleo8068]

meanwhile Ghost Game has Jellymon calling her tamer Kyoushiro "darling".........

[@mastergreeen1385]

yeah, but GG never really does anything with that, except for maybe the Eyesmon episode

[@mastergreeen1385]

5:57 Marcus: "Oho! Seems my lil' kobun's all grown up." Gaomon: ".............. (That sly dog!)." Lalamon: "Agumon, nooo! That's illegal!"

[@CreativeSteve69]

I wished we could've gotten to see this in the states. Sounds like it was a solid fun flick. I highly enjoyed Data Squad when it aired here in the states on disney xd back at the time. Loved how different it was with digimon partnering up with police to protect the world. Wished the states had gotten more digi films outside of the first two. I so would've made my way to the theaters to see it. Thanks for bringing this to light digiknow.

[@bookmew1081]

America got the 3 in 1 Digimon the Movie, then Toon Disney showed the Movies 02: Revenge of Diaboromon, Both Tamers Movies, & the Frontier Movies before rebranding to Disney XD. Data Squad's Movie & X-Evolution strangely weren't English Dubbed yet should have been. Also undubbed are the Xros Wars Young Hunters & Appmon seasons as well as Ghost Game which is still likely to get a dub announced soon as it took 3 Years for Adventure 2020 to get its wonderful English Dub & it took 5 years for Xros Wars Part 2: The 7 Generals Saga to get dubbed after its Japanese Airing.

[@canisblack]

...okay knowing that Rhythm is a Digimon I spotted that the little things on the back of her head are actually wings...and they look so much like Kazemon's wings...is Rhythm actually the rookie form of Kazemon?

[@LeoBeastmode]

Savers was my favorite Digimon movie and series too. Gaomon is one of my favorite lil' guys. And the bloopers were one of the best parts.

[@UJEvans]

I came across this movie when I was looking for the old Jetix movie dubs. The copy I found was the Hong Kong English dub. Which, if a bit clumsily translated, was easier to find than a subtitled version for me, and I'm glad it did. Because I love this movie

[@GallantTigger]

I remember specifically watching this on KZbin back in the day. No subtitles. It was also my introduction to savers/data squad. Which I also watched on KZbin in those broken into 3 parts per episodes.

[@RicardoCon94]

Somebody at Discotek laughing at the title of this video probably. I hope they get that far. My copy of Movie Collection 1 is a dream come true and hope more of the films that never left Japan get that same treatment. In the US you needed cable to watch Savers which i didn't have. I didn't needed cable for the previous 4 seasons so I didn't get to experience Savers very much outside of a handful of episodes and this movie. I hope Discotek can help change that. I'd be down to watch Savers, dubbed or subbed I don't mind ether.

[@thedigiknow]

Wait why would they be laughing? Nice, you got the new Collection! I'm so jealous. it's not available in Canada but it's on my wishlist. I hope it is successful enough that they get to the later movies!

[@RicardoCon94]

​@thedigiknow they're laughing because the title of the video will age poorly assuming they get far enough to dub this

[@MrWMyself]

Digimon savers was easily my favorite season, almost exclusively because I love masaru punching monsters. So hype 😂

[@JayceCH.]

Absolutely LOVED the credits of the movie. Hilarious to think that they gor Argomon to do a movie for em 💀

[@israelleon1949]

Wish we got a BanchoLeomon and Spencer Damon ova about their adventures before he got possesed by King Drasil.

[@Trap5656]

There is technically one more Digimon Movie you haven't checked out yet called Digimon X-Evolution, although it's a movie on its own. 👍

[@thedigiknow]

I've watched it before I made the channel and I don't really enjoy it lol so I don't think I want to watch it again for the channel hah. That's why I made sure to say "2D" Digimon movie :P

[@themadprofessor5756]

This movie isn't my favorite but it's definitely way up there in terms of digimon films. The fight scenes were amazing, the whole thing was beautifully animated, and the story was all around fun and interesting. Rhythm kissing him and saying I love you caught me way off guard to the point where I couldn't help but laugh. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10 (I should rewatch it sometime soon 😅)

[@joemerkel9699]

I didn't even know there was a movie. i would have watched it if I'd known. I suspect part of the problem was that Fox had disowned Savers like halfway through it's run. The whole Royal Knights arc was played exactly once (I mean that, it was never repeated). And so, they probably didn't show the movie at all in the US

[@bookmew1081]

Fox disowned Digimon before Frontier's Dub in 2002, Saban demanded Jetix & its series from Disney in 2009 & I remember the Royal Knights & King Drasil Arc playing more than once on Disney XD. Nicktoons Treatment of Digimon was awful with Fusion never actually showing Young Hunters & barely showing 7 Generals Arc.

[@joemerkel9699]

@@bookmew1081 I stand corrected. I only remember seeing those last 7 episodes aired one time (and missed them, so I had to buy the series on iTunes to see actually see them)

[@micah459]

While I agree that it's not as weird because she's a digimon, I feel like the intent was the same as with Sonic because Rythm has no nonhuman features. The animation is great though

RIP the original title where Agumon gets a girlfriend.

[@thedigiknow]

lol just trying some things out to help the video

[@Freezient]

I think you’re digging way too deep into that kiss dude, that doesn’t look too different than an owner kissing their dog on the nose. But anyway I’m honestly just surprised the idea of human x digimon isn’t discussed/explored more especially since digimons can disguised themselves as humans and some digimons are half humans and are anthropomorphic has human-like intelligence

[@CyberFoxy87]

Yes, i watched that movie a few times back then

[@Rairosu]

Here is my harsh unpopular opinion Brace yourself, When people think finding fictional human kissing sonic wrong and disgusting, Well a "Human" kissed Agumon, For me I don't find that weird. Love is love no matter what species you are, If you are an actual human in love with a Digital Dinosaur (Took that word from Tamers) or a Digimon/Digital Lifeform that blurrs the lines between Human and Digimon, Does not matter. Love transcends boundaries. I had a major crush on Gabumon and Guilmon including Renamon. If any of them was real I'd form a relationship regardless. If your love interest is so strong but question that species are different then don't question it. That's how I see it, I am a person that has empathy and a open mind. I never judge people.

[@takeruneverborn4740]

Not gonna lie the climax of this movie was really the best agumon is at the end of his rope trying to keep this girl he swore to protect and find a way to get his boss and partner back to normal then said boss comes in like a boss and punch the big bad argomon(mega) and agumon realizing this great ready to mix this psycho plant man as ShineGreymon(& Burst Mode)

[@multilad816]

My biggest gripe is that they don't show how the human were put into cocoons and a deep sleep. Not even still images in the beginning of this movie

[@DBTGAMER]

I wished the other Digimon digivolved and took part in the final battle. Yes I would like to see a ranking video. I thought this film was good. It just felt too Agumon focused.

[@ItazuraP]

I saw this movie so many years ago that I thought I made it up because no one speaks of it, I think I also remember Rhythm saying that she was a human digimon hybrid at one point. :o

[@amarolidris4324]

This movie is my first re-visit of a Digimon content since Tamers. It surprised me how good it was.

[@bookmew1081]

I wish this movie got English Dubbed same for more PreCure Seasons & Movies. I remember watching Seasons 1-4 of Digimon on ABC Family & Toon Disney when I was young, I saw the Movies as well & wonder why this movie was never dubbed & aired on Toon or Disney XD like the others before it. The same can be said for X-Evolution.

@AngelPerez-tu1nk I think Superman and Lois would be more accurate if a human was dating a human-like digimon or if an animal digimon dated a human who looked like an animal.
