Digimon Adventure: is "The Worst Anime of 2020" for Anime News Network; according to Christopher Farris of the editorial team, the anime is a "shallow, rudderless effort. It brings me no joy to declare the reboot as being this kind of failure; [...] a wasted attempt. Digimon Adventure: tosses out so much of the exploration, weird mystery, and quirky character work that defined the 1999 classic in favor of exhaustingly escalating fight scenes and unearned power-ups. A series set to run for 60+ episodes must have some degree of planning behind it, but this show regularly feels like the staff have no idea what they're doing and just stalling for time."

For Laura Thornton of Comic Book Resources, Digimon Adventure: has a "fatigued story"; "a show with a single-minded focus: getting its characters from point A to point B while creating spectacle through life-or-death battles... Every. Episode. And it gets tiring, not just for the characters, but for the audience as well.", by highlighting more than 16 episodes straight [out of 30] of non-stop battles, she explains the importance of the fun, light-hearted episodes in the original series "that allowed the first series to be so memorable -- by leveraging the juxtaposition between the fierce fights and silly situations, the original Digimon Adventure was able to make us cry, cheer and laugh within the space of a single episode without it seeming out of place.", but also with more modern models such as My Hero Academia or Avatar: The Last Airbender; "the constant spectacle of over-the-top fights has long grown stale."; "While finally reintroducing some talking Digimon -- rather than making them proper characters with a culture or unique problem -- the show basically turns into damsels in distress, victims who must be protected by Taichi."; she also mentions "many questionable choices", including "the hyper-focusing on Taichi, sidelining the other DigiDestined in favor of episode after episode of showdowns.".
