DESCRIPTION
Animated adaptation of Level-5's Nintendo 3DS video game.
While going deeper into the woods one day, primary school student Keita Amano ('Nate' in the English localisation) notices a bizarre capsule toy machine who tells him to insert money which he obeyingly does. But after opening the capsule that came out, a ghostly creature named Whisper materialises. Whisper, who was sealed inside the capsule, rewards his liberator Keita by becoming his Yo-kai butler and gives him a Yo-kai Watch. Whoever wears the watch gains the ability to see supernatural creatures called Yo-kai, each type possessing different kinds of magical abilities, and which are normally invisible to humans. The Yo-kai Watch also allows the wearer to summon any Yo-kai they have befriended, enabling the wearer to make use of the Yo-kai's powers. Using it, Keita and Whisper encounter many mischievous Yo-kai around town, resolving the trouble they're causing and befriending many at the same time.

REVIEWS
bubba
The perfect anime to let your kids watch, but also a refreshing show for everyone!Continue on AniListYO-KAI WATCH REVIEW no spoilers in this review :D also, this is more of a quick run through the enjoyable aspects of the show, rather than a full-fledged review.
★★★★★
Yo-Kai Watch is a franchise with a clear target audience of children. However, it has its appeals that allow all age groups fall in love with it. From the art style to the wacky adventures, here are just some of the many charming elements of the Yo-Kai Watch anime:
The storyline!
As an anime that was produced to air in weekly episodes, it was designed so that missing a few episodes here and there would not affect your experience with the story. The plot is not super intense or complicated, making it easy to follow, which is always a positive element if you are looking for something lighthearted. The first few episodes obviously provide background information for the basis of the show, though.Each episode guides you through a thrilling, cheerful adventure in the world of yokai. There are lessons of friendship and kindness all throughout Yo-Kai Watch, and every ending leaves you feeling refreshed.
Along with the happy-go-lucky story of it, Yo-Kai Watch offers hilarious gags and wacky scenarios. Much of this humor was written with the intended audience of children, but there are definitely moments that anyone can enjoy. (assuming that everyone can appreciate fart-jokes)
★★★★★ The art style and ambience!
With the bright color tones and bubbly character designs, every second of Yo-Kai Watch provides you with simple eye-candy. This lively atmosphere that is communicated through the art contributes to the high-spirited vibe of Yo-Kai Watch.★★★★★ The characters!
Every character in the show, yokai and human alike, has unique traits. The majority of the yokai depicted in the show connect to traditional Japanese folklore, and they are all based on elements from real life and folklore combined.
For example, Blizzaria (or Fubuki-hime), is based off of the Yuki-Onna.
Despite being yokai, every main character still has the mindset of a human, which once again adds to the important lessons that the show exemplifies. They make mistakes and learn from their experiences, as well as develop bonds with others. This makes the show perfect for children, as well as those of you who enjoy seeing pure and honest relationships between characters.★★★★★ To conclude, I would recommend Yo-Kai Watch to anyone who appreciates positive, feel-good anime. Even if it is not your cup of tea, it is definitely something to consider sharing with younger audiences you may know. One thing to keep in mind if you do watch this anime: don't nitpick and just enjoy!
Thanks for reading!
