The Pokémon show I always wanted. I've been a fan of the franchise for as long as I can remember, but even as a child I didn't really enjoy watching the Anime. Repetive, plain, and a tiring protagonist. While the Anime has made much progress, especially since Sun & Moon, it still doesn't quite hit the spot for me. It is too shallow, too flat. The episodic format and the simple content makes it hard to get a feeling for the world, which is exactly what I am longing for. I wish to be immersed in the world of Pokémon, to feel like I get a glimpse into a living and breathing world. Twilight Wings, finally, provides just that.
Short, condensed glimpses into the world of Pokémon. Wonderful art and high quality animations. Pokémon shown in all their beauty, shimmering fur and shiny scales and al…

This ONA series based on Gen 8 is a classic example of style over substance. It started to show some potential, especially because it's something like we're actually watching a story through the eyes of the Corvinight — hence the title of the series.
What really killed it is that with the episodes being released in a monthly schedule, they started to become stale and boring. It's a month of wait to watch fucking nothing in most of times. Wooloo episode, specifically, is the bottom of the pit. "Duh, it's cute, bruh". See? Style over substance.
Yes, you can see how much effort Studio Colorido puts in this, since animation is amazing, but there's nothing really interesting in the plot and it's just another Pokémon story. We learn just a very little (or nothing at all) about the characters,…

The art and animations were great but it's another short anime about a boy in a region tot obsessed with Charizard.
there's no good story, it's just everyone talking about Charizard.
this is pretty getting too old and repetitive. yeah we get it, Charizard is cool but we don't need 4 freaking anime about Charizard only. there are other pokemon that deserve some love and spotlight as well.
Story: 3/10: Charizard propaganda
Art: 7/10
Characters: the gym leaders stories are cool but they are still invested in beating Leon and Charizard because there's nothing else to do in Galar
Enjoyment: few minutes per episode, meh
Overall: 4/10 I read better pokemon stories in fanfiction than this. at least some fanfics can make proper development and actual stories rather than 7 episodes about Charizard…

When I say I love Pokemon, that's an understatement. I LOVE Pokemon. It's been an integral part of my childhood, and to this day, I still buy the games, watch the anime (even with its rough patches), read the Pokemon Adventures manga, and I'm currently writing a super long fan fic for Pokemon, which is my current pet project. It's a franchise that's had a lot of staying power and even now, Pokemon continues to have an iron grip on the world because of the sheer joy it brings to everyone of all ages. But many, like myself, feel the TV anime that focuses on Ash and his adventures could benefit from either taking more risks or focusing on a different protagonist. So when a new studio called Colorido was announcing that they were making their own short anime based on the Sword and Shield games…

As someone who hasn't watched a complete Pokemon series all the way through since Diamond and Pearl these shorts were a breath of fresh air from the typical Pokemon journey.
The story of this seven episode series revolves around a few characters and their interactions all linked by a Pokemon taxi driver. Each unrelated characters story has great character development and slowly weaves the entire series together to pull out to a great conclusion.
The art is superb compared to previous Pokemon series with highly detailed scenery and Pokemon.
The music and sound matches up well to the moods displayed throughout the series. Although nothing to memorable due to the briefness of each episode it allows for great immersion into the story.
As someone who has played Sword and Shield the charact…
