November 16th, 2015. This morning's update to the Japanese Digimon World -next 0rder- title site prompted readers to view the upcoming Digimon Adventure tri. special broadcast on November 20th. Hosted by the voices of Takaishi Takeru and Kido Jyo, Enoki Junya and Ikeda Junya, the broadcast will air live on video streaming site NicoNico Douga one day before the Japanese premiere of Digimon Adventure tri.'s first chapter, Reunion. The -next 0rder- website directing readers to the broadcast may point to an announcement related to the game being made in the stream, as last month's issue of V Jump magazine referred to tri. and -next 0rder- having "linked content."

Prior to the tri. special broadcast, on the 18th and 19th Nico will also be hosting web screenings of the 1999 film Digimon Adventure, 2000's Our War Game, and a separate back-to-back screening of Digimon Adventure 02 Vol. 1 Hurricane Touchdown!!/Vol. 2 Supreme Evolution!!
