AniWorthYo-kai Watch
Introduction
Primary school student Keita Amano's curiosity is as innocent as any other child's his age. But when one day he decides to venture deeper into the forest, he encounters a small and mysterious capsule. Out from its depths comes Whisper. After 190 years of imprisonment, this ghost-like creature is glad that someone has been kind enough to set him free. He decides to reward Keita by becoming his guardian against supernatural forces. Whisper is one of many Youkai that exist in the world, and provides Keita with a special Youkai Watch, which enables him to see and interact with all the other Youkai.
Youkai Watch follows Keita, Whisper and the cat spirit Jibanyan as they encounter Youkai, befriend them, fix all the trouble that they so often cause, and, with the help of the watch, use the powers of previously encountered Youkai to aid them. Young Keita may have been just an ordinary primary school student when he first encountered the Youkai, but the many adventures that follow his discovery provide him with invaluable experiences and precious life lessons that help him grow.

This is a series I was introduced to a decade ago, and have gotten back into recently and the brainrot has hit me like the truck that killed Jibanyan Xp
It is a really good anime, but it's also definitely not for everyone. There's so much toilet humor, which personally I do think that the series is good enough to overlook that aspect, the characters are enjoying enough, the jokes are also very funny, and I really enjoy the references and the wordplay. But the toilet humor is certainly ... very common, and I don't think that everyone will be able to ignore the fart and poop jokes as well as I could.
Oh and also I heavily recommend watching it in Japanese if possible. Normally I wouldn't be this hung up on the localization vs original, but I do think that the way youkai watch has been loca…

In the slushy sea of content aimed at an audience of elementary schoolers, it can be difficult to fish up something that is actually genuinely enjoyable. There's a lot of fluff titles, a lot of preachy titles, and a lot of titles that are just dorky action. Nothing is actually wrong with being any of those things but such traits don't mark a show as noticeable in a sea of content. Especially with the competitive nature of appealing to such a young age group with a low attention span.

Yo-Kai Watch (NOT 'Youkai' Watch, I'm not sure why its listed as that here) has similar origins to Pokemon in that respect: a video game about catching creatures that beca…
