I'm so pleased we're getting more Pokémon Concierge, a show that understands the brand (and its audience) perfectly


This is my nice resort.

Instead of following the events of a world-threatening calamity, or zeroing in on the coming-of-age foibles of a young boy and his pet mouse, the show simply takes nearly 80 minutes to soak in the everyday lives of Pokémon as a very tired woman tries to recover from burnout. Given that any individual animator is capable of making up to 5 seconds of footage each day(and taking into account that episode run times are around the 17-minute mark, on average), you can understand how it took four years for the initial idea to bear any fruit. Given the state of everything right now, I think a low-key tale about a woman taking some time to recover from her workaholic lifestyle and smell the proverbial and literal flowers is something that could lower all of our cortisol levels.
