Digimon Adventure 02 was, for many people here in NA region, a symbol of their childhoods. When this anime series first made its US premiere on Fox Kids back in April 2, 2000, it was the best thing a kid could watch. With plenty of colorful characters (both narratively and literally), epic fight scenes, and complex serialized storyline, it was pretty clear that Toei Animation had created a hit with their audiences, including here in NA region. Thus, you can completely understand why Toei Animation made an anime film sequel to that series in the form of Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning. Not to mention why a whole bunch of people here are very interested in seeing this anime film finally make it to NA shores.
