Pokemon Releases Heartwarming Anime Short for Lunar New Year
Hey there, fellow gamers! The Pokemon Company has just gifted us with an adorable anime short to celebrate Lunar New Year, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely delightful. I don’t know about you, but after watching this short, I’m craving a whole season of it!
A Heartwarming Celebration
Lunar New Year, which just happened on February 10, marks the beginning of a new year for many countries across Asia, including China, Korea, and Vietnam. To honor this special occasion, the official Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel released a new anime short called “Tadaima,” which roughly translates to “I’m Home.” This heartwarming short was produced by Hanmu Chunhua and directed by DaiWei, who also worked on the donghua series All Saints Street.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend checking out the full short here. Trust me, it’s worth your time. The concept is simple yet beautiful, showcasing people and their partner Pokemon engaging in everyday activities like boxing, leaving work, packing a car, and catching a train – all on their way home to celebrate Lunar New Year. The animation is incredibly well-done and truly captures how Pokemon could be a part of our daily lives, even better than the games themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a Pokemon trainer, but sometimes it’s nice to see a different side of these amazing creatures, you know?
Personally, I would love to see a full series where people go about their normal lives with Pokemon by their side. The whole trainer thing has been done and dusted, and it’s time for a fresh perspective. Let’s explore the everyday adventures and heartwarming moments that can happen when Pokemon are simply part of our lives.
A Labor of Love
According to director DaiWei, who has been a Pokemon fan since childhood, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to create an animation about Pokemon. In a comment about the short, he expressed his love for the franchise and shared that he included all of his favorite Pokemon in the animation. The entire studio poured their heart and soul into making this short, and it truly shows.
Conclusion
The Pokemon Company has truly outdone themselves with the release of the “Tadaima” anime short for Lunar New Year. It’s a heartwarming celebration of everyday life and the bond between humans and Pokemon. After watching this short, I can’t help but crave more content that explores the unique relationships and experiences that can be had with these incredible creatures.
So, fellow gamers, let’s show our support for this amazing anime short and express our desire for a full series. Share the video, spread the word, and let’s make our voices heard. Together, we can inspire The Pokemon Company to create more heartwarming adventures that resonate with us and capture the magic of Pokemon in a whole new way. Let’s embark on this journey together!
