Asians are lucky they get to have an English dub of Yo-Kai Watch that doesn't have any stupid name changes to the humans nor any localization. I'm jealous!

*Sigh...* Well, the folks over in Southern and Southeastern Asia get to enjoy watching the uncensored English version of Yōkai Watch while us Americans in the U.S. are forced to contend with the [soon-to-be] mangled, Americanized English version of our own. I have to admit, I do feel a bit envious in this predicament...

I know Animax has a terrible history of producing subpar English versions of anime shows, particularly when it comes to voice casting, but if I had an opportunity to choose which English version of Yōkai Watch to watch, I'll gladly choose Animax's version over Bandai's/Level-5's because at least I'll be able to watch the show with the human characters' names unaltered.
