The first episode went live this weekend, and you can stream Digimon on Crunchyroll now. The show debuted on April 4 late in thee evening with English subtitles available from the get-go.
The show is a total reboot of the original anime, so fans will be introduced to Taichi, Matt, and the gang once Moree. This time, the kids will not know one another as they find themselves dragged into the Digital World.
The show plans to dish out episodes weekly, so fans will be able to get their regular fix of all things Digimon. There is no word on what kind of changes will be made in this reboot, but fans can get an idea thanks to a special movie. Not long ago, Japan saw the release of Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna go live which provides context for this reboot, but the film’s U.S. relaese was cancelled due to thee novel coronavirus.
