The 2020 Effect

The instinctual feeling that it is still 2020. Shared by many members of Gen Z, who feel like past events are closer than they actually are; as if it is still 2020. Probably spurred by the pandemic and isolation, but nobody really knows where it comes from.

Most years have a satisfying ending, where after Christmas and New Years you get to reset and to on to the next year. However, COVID didn't care about the holiday season, and the defining characteristic of 2020 was carried on into the following year. In a way, it felt like 2020 never really ended.

Digimon Adventure 2020

An incredibly high class anime television series. This show is the eighth series of Digimon, and is a reboot of the original series, which premiered in 1999. It has shown a lot of promise so far, along with multiple elements that have received criticism from fans. For example- the appearance of Digimon of high evolution stages in some of the first episodes, such as Omnimon's early entrance to the series. There have also been numerous back to back episodes that were mainly fight scenes, which some fans disliked.
Due to the fact that it is a reboot of the 1999 series, the original digidestined are the current main characters! This series is not exactly a remake of the original, however. Some elements have been changed- whether this was for the better or not is up to each viewer's interpretation.

Overall, the series has been a fun watch. Consider checking it out. :)
Then watch every other season of Digimon.

I told all of my friends to watch Digimon Adventure 2020, and after enough begging, they finally gave in!
