“Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna” One-Night USA Release This March!

With Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna getting ready to be released in Japan this February, fans in the US will be able to attend a one-night-only theatrical event come March 25, 2020.

I’m a fan of the Digimon anime series. That’s why I was so happy when the upcoming film was announced. It has been marketed as the DigiDestined final adventure. Considering the popularity of the brand, I wouldn’t be surprised if the franchise continues in the anime sector somehow.

Anyway, Toei Animation Inc. and Fathom Events announced the March 25, 2020, screening. The audience will be treated to a 15-minute pre-show. The said pre-show will include interviews with the film’s Director, Tomohisa Taguchi and Chief Animation Director, Seiji Tatsukawa.

You will be able to purchase the tickets beginning February 7, 2020. The screening will occur at 7:00 p.m. (local time) through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN).
