Date currently unknown, but it is presumably coming to Netflix as well.
Summary:
Pokemon Concierge is a short and heartwarming stop-motion anime.
One complaint viewers had was that it was too short, but it's getting more episodes soon,
Fans wonder if this indicates that more Pokemon spinoffs will come in the future.
Pokemon Concierge is a curious recent project for the series. Rather than being traditional animation, it employs a completely different technique — it's a short stop-motion anime. While this might sound like a weird project at first, trust us: it's very comfy and relaxing.
The official X (formerly Twitter) account behind the franchise confirmed that new episodes of the series are being developed. Fans are excited: this spinoff was very well-received, and fans want more of it.
What is this series?
The Pokemon franchise is nearly 30 years old at this point. Consisting of multiple games, anime series and other material, it became a part of the mainstream culture.
Naturally, every time there's a new announcement for Pokemon, the fandom gets excited; especially the old fans, who are famous for their dedication to the series.
When Pokemon Concierge was initially announced, it was mostly overlooked: a stop-motion animated series was certainly unusual for the franchise, but there was just not enough information from the PV. When it finally dropped on Netflix, though, it instantly became a hit.
Why do people like it and why are they hyped about continuation?
Praised for its light-hearted and comfy tone, Pokemon Concierge is a cute little series for the fans of the franchise. It focuses on Haru — an entirely new character — and her interactions with Pokemon and their trainers.
It is a charming slice of life series, and while it is mostly made for those already invested in the franchise, you can technically watch it as a standalone if you just want to chill and relax.
If there was one complaint the fans had about the series, it is how short it was: with just 4 short episodes, the anime doesn't even have an hour of a total runtime — and many felt it was unfinished.
This is where the new announcement comes in, and fans are very happy about it: more of a relaxing cute series like this is always a good thing.
Speculations about the future of the franchise
With the apparent success of Pokemon Concierge, one might wonder if these spinoffs would be more common.
We already had Pokemon: Twilight Wings (Hakumei no Tsubasa) and Pokemon: Hisuian Snow (Pokemon Legends Arceus: Yuki Hodo Kishi Futaai) short series, which were decently popular with the fans. It seems that the best parts of Pokemon are the heartwarming moments, and getting more anime that focus on those is a good thing.
