It is shaping up to be a nostalgic summer for anime fans, especially those who grew up withDigimon Adventure. Toei Animation has officially announced that the beloved ’90s classic will be part of a brand-new weekend streaming event this summer. Starting June 28, theDigimon AdventureEnglish dub will stream for free on YouTube as part of the “Summer Weekend Splash” event, giving longtime fans the perfect excuse to rewatch the series—and newcomers a chance to see it for the first time.
The catch is that it is all happening live, and the event will not last forever.Toei Animation will broadcast marathon blocks every Saturday and Sunday through their official YouTube channel, according to@ToeiAnimationon X, making this a temporary streaming opportunity rather than something more permanently available. Fans eager to relive the DigiDestined’s first adventure should plan ahead, because once summer ends, this digital nostalgia trip might vanish just as quickly as it arrived.
Toei Makes Digimon Adventure Freely Available On Youtube
Unfortunately, It Will Only Last For Summer 2025
Toei’s “Summer Weekend Splash” is designed as a throwback event that taps directly into childhood memories.AlongsideDigimon Adventure, other Toei favorites likePrecureandMagical DoReMiwill also stream in English, offering an entire block of classic anime content every weekend.The streaming begins on June 28 and will continue live every Saturday and Sunday, so if fans are looking for an easy, legal way to watchDigimon Adventure, now is the perfect chance.
This move is especially welcome after many Toei titles, includingDigimon, Dragon Ball, andOne Piece,disappeared from streaming services like Hulu.Although some series later returned, Toei’s decision to offer content directly on YouTube sidesteps subscription services entirely.That means fans will not need a Hulu or Crunchyroll login, just an internet connection and a little weekend free time.
Digimon’s Enduring Legacy Still Powers On
Digimon Adventure is Still a Fan Favorite in the Digimon Franchise
Digimon Adventuremay be over two decades old, but it has not slowed down. With its roots in a virtual pet game and later explosion into anime, video games, and trading cards, the franchise has never left the spotlight. Even today, fans continue to follow its evolving universe through reboots and new series, including the upcomingDigimon Beatbreak, which is set to premiere in October 2025.
Though the first four seasons ofDigimonare all available on Hulu at the time of writing, mostDigimonanime after that are available on Crunchyroll.
The new anime promises a fresh twist, introducing “emotion-devouring digital lifeforms,” according to a brief teaser. While the full details remain under wraps,it is clear that Toei intends to build momentum this summerwith a nostalgia-fueled campaign before launching the next chapter. For now,Digimon Adventure’sfree YouTube run is the perfect lead-in to what could be a big revival year for the digital monsters.
