Yo-kai Watch GMA-7 Ad Reveals March 28 Premiere

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda

Philippine television channel GMA-7 began airing a commercial last Saturday for its upcoming television airing of the Yo-kai Watch anime. The commercial previews the anime's Filipino dub cast and reveals the anime's March 28 premiere.

Miggs Cuaderno will voice Keita Amano. Jillian Ward will voice Fumi Kodama. Mikoy Morales will voice Whisper.

Toonami Asia is already airing the anime in South and Southeast Asia with an English dub, and it describes the series:

Keita Amano is just a regular boy living in a regular place called Sakura New Town. One summer's day, he encounters a strange white Yo-kai called Whisper, who starts following him around. Whisper gives Keita a strange timepiece known as the Yōkai Watch, and with it, he starts finding Yo-kai all over his hometown!

Keita soon learns that most everyday troubles are caused by Yo-kai, and that by persuading and sometimes battling with them, he can solve people's problems, and make new Yo-kai friends in the process!

Toonami Asia began airing the series last June. Shogakukan Asia publishes the Yo-kai Watch manga in English throughout Southeast Asia.

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. The latest game in the franchise, Yo-kai Watch Busters Getto-gumi, shipped last December. Yo-kai Watch 3 will ship this summer. Bandai sells Yo-kai Watch toys and game tie-in medals in Japan.
