Digimon Adventure has been a pillar of the anime industry for over 25 years, spreading joy and excitement among fans everywhere. As most fans must be aware, this animation icon has been officially confirmed to end soon, paving the way for a new era for the franchise. Fans have voiced both their devastation and wonder about what the future holds for this beloved series.

To help them come to with the end of this era, an interview with Hiromi Seki has been recently shared by viewers, sparking new discussions about the future. According to Seki, despite the ending of Adventure arriving soon, a new capable team will be behind the wheel of the Digimon franchise, and they will make sure the series shines brighter than ever.

Seki Assures Fans Digimon Is in Good Hands

She Is Confident in the New Team Behind the Series

On November 7, 2024, the Crunchyroll website shared an interview with Seki, who acted as one of the main producers for the Digimon franchise for many years. The question centered around her experience with the series, with a major emphasis on the process behind creating such an iconic anime. As the interview approached its end, Seki was asked about the future of the series, as she would no longer oversee continuing the story. The producer replied that a new team had been selected to keep the franchise going.

According to her, the new producer and her team were already hard at work coming up with new and fresh ideas for the DigiDestined. Seki appeared to be confident that their ideas would be just what the franchise needed to modernize itself and appeal to younger audiences. Seeing as the story of Digimon Adventure has finally come to an end after 25 years with the release of -BEYOND-, a short anniversary video, her words are more important now than ever, as the series approaches an entirely new era without the original cast.

Digimon Fans Must Prepare for a Different Experience

Beatbreak Will Take the Series in a New Direction

Seki’s words are not only important to remind fans that the series they have loved for so many decades will continue bringing them quality content. It is also a hint that Digimon will continue to go through changes that could impact how viewers understand and enjoy the adventures of the heroes and their partners from here on out. A perfect example of this trend is the recently revealed poster for the Beatbreak anime, which will be released later in 2025. The promotional image shared by Bandai, the parent company behind the franchise, indicates that the show will be far darker than other entries.

Many fans believe that this anime could follow the same horror-inspired approach that its predecessor, the 2022 underrated Ghost Game anime, utilized. The series could focus more on the effects sentient monsters could have on the human world, relying on the terrifying and disturbing tropes that have characterized the franchise for decades. Nonetheless, regardless of what direction Beatbreak decides to take, Digimon fans will be able to enjoy their favorite series for many more years.
