Digimon Adventure 20th Memorial Story

Digimon Adventure 20th Memorial Story (デジモンアドベンチャー20th メモリアルストーリー) is a series of animated shorts connected to Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, the first of which, To Sora, is a set a day before the movie. The rest features side stories about the DigiDestined and their Partner Digimon going about their every day lives that were unable to make it into the movie itself.

Episodes
The first episode, To Sora played between November 22, 2019 and January 9, 2020 as part of a Digimon Limited Base Pop-Up Theatre in Shibuya Parco. On January 31, 2020 Toei uploaded To Sora with both English and Japanese subtitles to their official Youtube page. The English version used the original Japanese names, rather than their localised American English names. The second episode, Hole in the Heart is set to air a part of another Pop-Up Theatre in February 2020.

Development
On August 20 2019 announced that they planned to create five animated shorts to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Digimon Adventure, and decided to fund them through, opening a page on the crowdfunding website, Campfire. Starting on August 22, Japanese fans would have until October 2 to raise ¥10,000,000 for the shorts to funded, though stated that even if the funding project failed, the shorts would still be made using an alternate method.
