The U.K. Cartoon Network satellite channel will begin screening the anime series Yo-kai Watch on Saturday April 23, with screenings at 7.30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Nintendo is streaming the 32-second trailer below on youtube.
Nintendo has described the premise of the franchise:
Yo-kai Watch centers on a boy who gets a special watch that lets him befriend and help mischievous Yo-kai and later summon them to fight other Yo-kai. Players can overcome challenges and help various characters solve everyday problems with the help of Yo-kai friends. These eccentric Yo-kai resemble anything from inanimate objects to mythical creatures.
Game developer Level-5 announced the Yo-kai Watch franchise in 2011 with a game, manga, and anime already planned. The franchise's first game for the Nintendo 3DS debuted in Japan in July 2013, and the anime premiered in January 2014.
