posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the original Digimon Adventure television anime series. A project to celebrate the anniversary just revealed its first part on Monday. The "Dark Masters kara no Chōsenjō ~Heisa Sareta Ie! Pinnocchimon!~" (Challenge From the Dark Masters: The Locked House! Puppetmon!) puzzle-solving event will debut at Nazotomo Cafe locations throughout Japan on September 21.
In the experience's story, children without the means to stand up against the mighty power of the Dark Masters search for shelter. They stumble upon an isolated house in the forest, but this was actually according to Puppetmon's plans. The children end up trapped inside the house, and the event's participants go on a mission to save them.
The event will launch simultaneously at all Nazotomo Cafe locations in Japan.
The Digimon franchise launched in Japan in June 1997 with a line of portable virtual pet game devices. The first film and television anime project, Digimon Adventure, premiered in March 1999 and spawned six more series from the direct sequel Digimon Adventure 02 to 2016-2017's Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters. In addition, several more anime projects ran in theaters, including the recently concluded Digimon Adventure tri. film series. Gekijō-ban Digimon Adventure (Digimon Adventure the Movie), the new anime film project for the franchise, will feature adult versions of characters in the original anime and also celebrate its 20th anniversary.
