Popular anime on GMA
Miggs Cuaderno, Mikoy Morales and Jillian Ward lend their voices to the hit anime series Yo-kai Watch.
The most popular anime series sweeping across Asia has reached North America by storm. It premieres on GMA Network on March 28.
The story follows an ordinary boy, Keita, who chanced upon a bizarre capsule machine while playing in the woods. Expecting a toy inside, he opens one of the capsules and instead meets a spirit named Whisper.
After being freed from the capsule, Whisper gifts Keita a prized item known as the Yo-kai Watch, which effectively allows him to see and interact with spirits called Yo-kai.
Keita, then, together with his yo-kai cat Jibanyan and Whisper set off to meet several kinds of yo-kai whom they can befriend or even battle.
At school, Keita is constantly struggling to impress an intelligent girl named Fumi, who is often possessed by yo-kai. He will become Fumi’s savior and, later on, her best friend.
Pinoy anime lovers will get to appreciate the series more as GMA stars Miggs Cuaderno, Mikoy Morales and Jillian Ward, lend their voices to bring Filipino touch to the well-loved anime.
Join the Yo-kai Watch craze from Monday to Friday (8 a.m.), beginning March 28, after Dragon Ball Z only on GMA.
