Because of this thread, I just now went to watch the first episode of Youkai Watch.

It's much better than Pokemon.


Gueninely good or just better than pokemon ? Is this officially available in english ?

It's too kiddie for me to call good (sorry Nintendo fans).  It's pretty funny, though, in a silly way.  In episode 2, a youkai haunted the girl the main character liked and made her say, "you just did a number 2 in the bathroom, didn't you," in front of the whole class.  

Also, all this time I thought it was Youkai Watch like "Night Watch" and not because he had a watch that let him see youkai.

Dunno about an official version, I just grabbed a fansub.

Edit:  the ghost cat is a big fan of MEOWKB48.  That cracks me up for some reason.

Should I recommened it to my little bro?

New Digimon anime is going to set fire to Pokemon's crops and poison its water supply.

To tell you the truth, I worry about the Digimon reboot.  It looks so generic and is following the "Hey lets follow crappy artstyles cause that's what teenagers want!" bull.  Kinda like what happaned to Soul Eater Not and others.  It lost its identity.  

@OP

I gave up with Ash got rid of his Charizard.  Which happened after he got rid of the majority of his strong Pokemon.  Is it so hard to send them to Oak with his 100 Toros and ... slime thingy?

Digimon Adventure. tri has a bad artstyle? What are you taking?

But isn't there a cool subplot with the girl from Pokemon X/Y? I'm not certain there is, but that trainer girl is pretty cute!


Subplot?

Generic?  I pretty much disagree with you in every way possible.  Character design is by the guy who did Cencoroll, which had a fantastic and unique art style.


This sure isn't unique.  Especially compared to the older show.

Man, Sora looks like Yukari!

Sorry but even if the Pokémon is handled by a specific company it still rolls back to Nintendo. They have the final control and if they do nothing is because they are in agreement.

 

This is the same poor excuse used on Nintendo sole partner bad pratices in South America being overlooked by fans because Nintendo have no control of the pratices the partner used.

 

Where am I using double standards? Have you seem me deny credit for Nintendo because it was produced by an owned company? You are the one using it to and excusing others because "others do".

 

Turma da Mônica is released world wide for a while (even china have received it). Your lack of knowledge doesn't make it obscure. And there are some other big companies from Brazil that if you don't know you are quite bad informed. InBev, Vale, Petrobras, Embraer, Tam (Latam), Itaú, etc all being top players on their field. Would you say Machado de Assis is obscure or Paulo Coelho?

I'm aware of those companies especially the likes of Inbev who from what I recall was a Belguim based company who merged with Ambev, I'm quite well informed I just find it laughable that you'd think that all these companies from differing industries would operate in the same manner and that Nintendo should as well. It's also hilarious that you can't seem to understand the concept of what a brand management firm do and how they operate, you think a company sets up a brand management company so they can still dictate all aspects of the brand they want managed? Lol, Nintendo only need to step in when the brand begins losing money which as the franchises history goes doesn't seem to be anytime soon, brand management companies are given full run of what they're put in charge of.

If it gets localized, sure.  It's silly fun, moreso than Pokemon.  However, right now it seems it's only been subtitled by fans.

More like AmBev was the main force not the belgium company. Their operation have nothing to do with it, just a counter point against you calling Mauricio de Souza obscure by being brazilian and you unaware of it. Although Maurício de Souza productions pratices have much to do "in field" to Disney (which is hardly obscure right???) and Nintendo as all 3 have strict rules to license any products with one of its icons.

 

Laughable is you deny that because Nintendo funded a company to manage the brand it isn't they anymore. Yep the brand is doing good and Nintendo doesn't need to micromanage, but do you think Pokémon company doesn't have to report to Nintendo? Silly. Anyway we can infere if Nintendo is satisfied with the anime's results they are to be credited by its success and also criticized by any shortcoming related (that obviously can be discussed if it's a shortcoming or not... Some here think the anime is good as is and focus viewer are good with it and older viewer should move on and don't complain).

Usually, I prefer reading the manga since I feel that it is much more mature and stuff actually happens, rather than there being 30 episodes between each gym and throwing in random towns that never existed. I wish they'd do more anime like Pokemon Origins personally, but it entertains children which is what they were going for but after growing up, later episodes of the show are almost cringe-worthy for me.


What's the name of the manga?


There are a lt but this is on of the original ones I think.  There's one for pretty much every generation of Pokemon at this point.  The most prevelant ones are the Pokemon Adventures series.

You really think TPC are going to report every detail to Nintendo? Please the only reports Nintendo likely bothers with is that to do with performance i.e. what they're raking in which in the past 15 years has been off the charts, that's the task of a manager this isn't a producer to director role. The reason for this I can tell you as someone who works for a firm that operates in a similar manner is because when managing assets once you start getting input from the client and they have a conflicting view on what you're doing it hampers progress and business, they'd blocked something they're not keen on then months or a year later someone else is making a killing on the same idea they didn't like and you're given the call declaring their U-turn and you end up scrambling at a time everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon, I'll stop here before I go into a financial rant.

This is why management firms like TPC and their partners work on a basis of performance over being dictated, you show them the performance and get on with it, if you're in such a business and you keep calling the client every now and have them to check your work they'll eventually turn around and say "I thought you said you could do this job for me?".



I liked it when Red and Blue were still relevant but Ash is a huge ******. A reboot might be cool with Naruto as an inspiration
