That's airing today! Oh I'm so excited to watch it after work that looks so adorable

Wow, this looks awesome! I don't care much about Pokemon, but this looks adorable!

If anyone has seen it and cares to comment: how appropriate this would be for a 5 y.o. who has very limited tolerance for peril?

If not, I'll preview it and edit my post.

Same studio that produced Rilakkuma and Kaoru on Netflix. Both are breezy and charming.

After being dumped by her boyfriend, fumbling the ball at her office job, and realizing that she simply isn’t happy with the trajectory of her life, Haru knows she needs to shake things up.

Understanding that about herself is what makes it easy for Haru to quit her old job and move when she’s presented with an opportunity to join the Pokémon Resort as its newest concierge.

But the mere chance of being able to find some purpose and luxuriate on the beach is enough to convince Haru that upending her life to become a special kind of pokémon caregiver is absolutely the right move.

But Pokémon Concierge highlights small details like the wooliness of an Eevee’s fur or how light bounces off a Mudkip’s skin so effectively that it makes the show seem like it has captured their essences in ways that wouldn’t be possible in another medium.

At just four episodes, Pokémon Concierge feels both perfectly compact for a breezy watch, and far too short because of how utterly delightful the whole thing is.
