Whisper gives him the youkai watch, which allows him to see youkai which effect everyone's day to day lives. When he puts a coin in and a capsule comes out, he opens it which allows Whisper the youkai butler free. The overall "plot" is that, while looking for rare insects, 5th grader Keita Amano (Nathan Adams) comes across an old gachapon machine behind a shrine, and a mysterious voice urges him to "feed" the machine. This is an episodic anime, meaning that there are typically between 2-4 short "skits" in each episode which either features special characters (Jimenken/Manjimutt in the beginning, then Komasan & Komajiro starting in episode nine) or various youkai in each one. For now, this review will center on season one (which spans episodes 1-76).
Youkai Watch is currently airing the second season, so I'll come back for that one when it's finished (and boy, do I have a major beef with that in the form of what has to be the most annoying character ever introduced in the anime). So, though some people might like the dub, I'd say subtract about 5 points from sound if it's the dub version. The dub, however, made him sound like someone from the southern USA rather than the countryside of Japan, and redid his catch phrase to "oh my swirls". In the original version, he says "monge", and ends his sentences with "-zura" (along with Komajiro) he also sounds cute and innocent.
A really bad rendition of Natsume Yuujinchou meets Pokemon? I'll be honest.The only reason I watch this (and am currently watching season two) is because of Komasan (and Komajiro).Īlso, since I'm being honest, I really don't like what the dub did to a lot of the catch phrases (such as Komasan).
