Synopsis

Primary school student Keita Amano's curiosity is as innocent as any other child's his age. But when one day he decides to venture deeper into the forest, he encounters a small and mysterious capsule. Out from its depths comes Whisper. After 190 years of imprisonment, this ghost-like creature is glad that someone has been kind enough to set him free. He decides to reward Keita by becoming his guardian against supernatural forces. Whisper is one of many Youkai that exist in the world, and provides Keita with a special Youkai Watch, which enables him to see and interact with all the other Youkai.

Youkai Watch follows Keita, Whisper and the cat spirit Jibanyan as they encounter Youkai, befriend them, fix all the trouble that they so often cause, and, with the help of the watch, use the powers of previously encountered Youkai to aid them. Young Keita may have been just an ordinary primary school student when he first encountered the Youkai, but the many adventures that follow his discovery provide him with invaluable experiences and precious life lessons that help him grow.

Background

Youkai Watch was awarded the Best Film Award for a TV Series at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival in 2015. It also won the grand prize for Digital Content of the Year in 2014 at Japan’s 20th annual Association of Media in Digital Awards.

In the slushy sea of content aimed at an audience of elementary schoolers, it can be difficult to fish up something that is actually genuinely enjoyable. There's a lot of fluff titles, a lot of preachy titles, and a lot of titles that are just dorky action. Nothing is actually wrong with being any of those things but such traits don't mark a show as noticeable in a sea of content.

Preliminary (26/214 eps)
I watched on netflix they have just the first season, but they have the portugues dub, im always go for the original japanese but the portuguese dub for this show is soo good that i whatched just to see the jokes that the dub insert.

In brazil we have "pessoas da roça" its like country people i think, komassan for me do one "pessoa da roça" veeery well, his voice, and his accent are soo good that i watched the show just to see his parts.

Sorry for my poor ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/214 eps)
This is a 3/10 show with some 10/10 lines. It has the most one note characters and simple elementary schooler plots. Then the show will say some shit like "Yokai Vacation in Hawaii?" *"Beats Albuquerque."* and I HOWL with laughter. Manjimutt is the funniest gag character on the planet, that has become the punching bag for me and my friend, causing several inside jokes to form. This show probably won't be too amazing to watch by yourself, but watching with another person or more, this show is funny as HELL if you can riff off of it with someone else.

For every "Lol HAHA Fart ...
