(4.37/5)A great entry point for Netflix watchers
This show is a solid candidate for someone dipping their toes into native TV without English subs for the first time. You get a lot of hospitality-related vocabulary and phrases that can be useful when you travel. You also get a good number of examples of how the language changes depending on character archetypes and who's speaking to whom - employee to boss, service worker to customer, couhai to senpai. I appreciated that the writers explored some of the more realistic problems that regular, grown adults would have in the Pokemon universe while still keeping the overall tone light and chill.
Arguably the hardest dialogue to parse is the opening scene when Haru's summary of her week from hell is artificially and exponentially sped up. Don't let it discourage you if you have trouble keeping up with it, as everything afterwards is delivered at a slower pace (though Haru herself certainly gets close on a few occasions).
Amazing one, but can be confusing
The anime is very good, and its the first one where ive reached over 80% comprehension. But, the use of pokemon names can sometimes be confusing if you don't know them. Except for this, very nice watch, and very cute. 7/10
A cozy and light hearted pokemon series
It's short, sweet and easy to understand, it's impossible not to recommend
Short but sweet
Something nice and simple for beginners, but enjoyable for any viewer who likes cute Pokemon doing things. The episodes are short and use very simple words. Haru tends to speak fast when flustered, but other than that the show is accessible. Pokemon names are not really important here and there is a good amount of visual context to help learn words. Audio quality is good and music doesn't overtake the dialogue.
The animation is beautifully done, the story is heartwarming, and the language is used is quite simple (though for obvious reasons I was tripped up a bit by the Japanese Pokemon names).
Hope they make more of this kind of Pokemon series in the future!
