The play is part of the continuity of the divisively designed sequel series Digimon Adventure tri., and officially titled Digimon Adventure tri.~The August 1 Adventure~.
But Digimon finally has the chance to leapfrog Pokémon and arrive first in a form of media, thanks to the upcoming live-action Digimon stage play.
Digimon Adventure tri.~The August 1 Adventure~ is scheduled to run from August 5 to 13 at Tokyo’s Zepp Blue Theater Roppongi (though the theater will be dark on August 7 and 10).
It’s kind of a shame, since, as Digimon loyalists will tell you, the series has charm and merits all its own.
