Yo-kai Watch the Movie: It's the Secret of Birth, Meow! · review
[SPOILER FREE REVIEW!] I am a huge Yo-Kai Watch fan, so you could probably automatically assume that when I’d watch this for the first time, I’d love it. And.. you’d be absolutely correct. when I watched this film, my expectations were blown straight out of the water. I had never actually watched a Yo-Kai Watch movie up until today (only the anime & played the games), so with this being my first, I can confidently say it was way better than I could have ever expected. The animation was great, the story was great, and Hovernyan has to be one of the best Yo-Kai to everexist. If you EVER decide to watch this movie, I’m sure you’d love it too.
It has a lot of humor, some sad moments, and a ton of good action that I enjoyed throughout. I’m sure even non-Yo-Kai Watch fans would still enjoy this film. It *is* a family movie/ for a younger demographic, but an older adult can also easily enjoy this as well.
After scouring the internet for days, I was able to watch it in dub, which elevated the entire experience, in my opinion. The English VA’s were seriously great on this film.
I really wish Yo-Kai Watch was more popular, so that a larger group of people could experience/ watch this. It really is that great. 10/10 for me, and I definitely recommend it. Just go into it blind. Don’t watch any spoilers.
Thanks for reading!
