I managed to watch 50 episodes in about a week!
People on the internet will tell you that this tries too hard to be the next Pokémon. But that's not true at all, this show doesn't want to be anything like Pokémon. Youkai Watch tends to be more of a comedy series with various skits than an anime about a teenage boy going on an adventure.
Don't expect much of story, but the anime has a lot of charm to it. This anime is very self-aware and most of the jokes and skits are actually really funny. Some jokes tend to get old after a lot of

The Youkai Watch anime now lacks an English subbing group for it. This is a shame as the anime is funny to watch and is currently one of the top ten children anime in Japan's Kanto region. I hope this review may be able to help change things as clearly a number of people (including myself) enjoy it. I plan to watch on and probably pick up the Japanese language at the same time, even if it will take ages for a group to pick this up again.
Youkai is a term for Japanese spirits, ghosts and monsters. A "Youki-pedia" series, this anime depend a lot ... Apr 8, 2018
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. Especially with the competitive nature of appealing to such a young age group with a low attention span. Among this lot, Yo-Kai Watch has become another one of those successful accounts that has grabbed

Youkai Watch. It's an anime you may have heard of, a lot of people compare it to Pokémon partially due to it's growing popularity in Japan overshadowing Pokémon's. However, this anime is not actually as similar to Pokémon as it seems.
Both series center around a boy in a world filled with monsters, but the main difference is that their stories and interactions are presented completely differently. They both function as kids 'monster of the week' series but Pokémon is filled with epic battles and plots about evil teams wanting to take over the regions. In contrast, Youkai Watch is a pure humor anime consisting of ... Jan 2, 2018
I watched 200 episodes of this before I decided I had enough and it is now time to try something else.I wrote a review before (after 76 episodes) and it'll be available at the end of this one.
It goes like this. This is pretty much kids anime, heavily geared towards promoting youkai merchandise. it follows "3 stories per episode" format. Meaning one episode usually contains 3 short stories, usually padded by music. The anime also heavily reuses in many places, in the beginning it is very blatant. The anime starts in a very uninspiring way - first 20 or so episodes are dedicated to itnroducing yokai, ... Feb 21, 2020
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.
So based in what i said, i'm judging the show in the portuguese dub. 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 ... Feb 28, 2024
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 ... |
