I don't hate this show, because it's not dark and violent like Attack On Titan (BTW AOT isn't the only anime people watch) as one user on here assumes (you know who you are). It's not worth a single minute of your time. In April 2019, Disney XD removed the Yo-kai Watch anime from its lineup due to declining ratings and replaced it with Inazuma Eleven: Ares, two months after the. If you're an adult and watches anime, I'd say give this show a pass. And Yo-Kai Watch is definitely not one of them. There's plenty of better anime out there if you take the time to look for them. You want to watch a good anime that's a little more mature? Fist of The North Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, the original Dragon Ball anime trilogy (Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT), the many different incarnations of Gundam (personal favorites being Gundam Wing and Mobile Fighter G Gundam), Berserk (1997 series), Sailor Moon, Dirty Pair (either of them), and so many others to choose from.

Or better yet, watch Digimon (which I would argue that Digimon is a way better anime than both Pokèmon and especially Yo-Kai Watch). You want to watch an anime that does the monster-collecting concept right? Go watch Pokèmon.
Yo kai watch anime series#
Overall, it's a Pokèmon rip-off, but without anything that makes that series fun or enjoyable. Parents need to know that Yo-Kai Watch is an enjoyable anime series that explores emotions in a creative, engaging way that can help you talk with your kids. And the writing in this show has no charm and no wit. Nothing terrible (aside from the ugly, atrocious CGI that they used for the closing credits the one that has the Yo-Kai Exercise song), but not particularly special either. In fact, It's some of the worst voice acting I've seen in years that 4-Kids would be proud of. As for the rest of the voice acting, it doesn't get better. Johnny Yong Bosch, who as great of a voice actor he is, is just horribly miscast and his voice just doesn't fit at all. The Yo- Kai themselves are lame, generic, and have absolutely no personality and no soul to them. I thought the music is really awful especially the Yo-Kai exercise song. I have watched at least five episodes of this show (mostly because I was watching over a kid that a friend of mine wanted me to babysit) and from an adult point of view, this was really hard to sit through. It's kinda like if someone looked at Ghostbusters (the original 1984 film not the crappy reboot that was made this year), Pokèmon, and a few elements from Ben 10, but take away any charm and fun that those franchises have. It's about this kid that has to find ghosts with a watch (yeah, just go with it) in order to stop them from terrorizing the town's citizens. Join Nate as he befriends the Yo-kai of the hit video game YO-KAI WATCH Nate Adams is just an average kid until the mysterious Whisper gives him the Yo-kai Watch. I suppose I should at least explain what Yo-Kai Watch is about.
