Pokemon wannabe Youkai Watch has received an English-dubbed trailer in honor of its journey to the US, much to the chagrin of many of its original fans as the trailer confirms that the anime has been thoroughly “westernized”, not unlike several other shows that have made their unfortunate way to the west.
The English trailer, boasting its new theme song in an attempt to be “hip” with the kids:
Yo-kai Watch will air on none other than Disney XD sometime later this year.
Sounds like a yo-yo CF
I’ll stice to watching the anime online subbed, it sucks that the NA version of the game probably wont have the option for jpns VA’s. f♥♥k nintend for region locking the 3ds!!
It’s a cartoon for 5 year olds. Does anyone seriously give a s♥♥t?
They could have just saved the time and effort and used the Ghostbusters theme song.
Holy s♥♥t that syncs up pretty well to the ghostbusters cartoon them song.
Pretty well nothing. I just ran both videos simultaneously (this one muted):
They synched WAY too well. Even the part where both show the “Rogues Gallery” of ghosts/youkai, the imminent busting, and the lead kid freaking out as the Ghostbusters song plays “I ain’t afraid of no ghost”.
The opening HAD to have been deliberately timed to the Ghostbusters opening/theme.
So… just change the langauge setting to Japanese, then.
