Although a exact premiere date is still to be announced, Nickelodeon Deutschland is expected to start to premiere and show the series from Spring 2016.
Hasbro has also confirmed that they'll be bringing their line of "Yo-Kai Watch" toys to Germany later this year.
One day, whilst searching for bugs in the woods, a boy named Nate (Keita in Japan) comes across a peculiar capsule machine next to a sacred tree. When he opens one of the capsules up, it brings forth the Yo-Kai Whisper, who gives Nate a device known as the Yo-Kai Watch. Using this, Nate is able to identify and see various different Yo-Kai that are haunting people and causing mischief. Joined by the cat Yo-Kai Jibanyan, Nate and Whisper start befriending all sorts of Yo-Kai, which Nate can summon to battle against more ill-intentioned Yo-Kai that happen to live in his town, causing terrible trouble. Nate also goes on adventures around the town with his Yo-Kai partners to help his human friends Bear (Kuma), Eddie (Kanchi), and Katie (Fumi-chan) deal with their various problems, often caused by other Yo-Kai. Later in the series, a new girl named Inaho moves into town, in a different homeroom class from Keita, and discovers her own Yo-Kai Watch and the Yo-Kai Usapyon, who wants her help in restoring the happiness of a scientist he accidentally upset, before opening up a detective agency to investigate the many Yo-Kai "crimes" plaguing the city.
"Yo-Kai Watch" is a co-production of Level 5, Dentsu Entertainment USA, Inc. and TV TOKYO Corporation, and is geared towards children aged 6 years and over. The Japanese anime television series is based on the hit Nintendo video game series "Yo-Kai Watch" ("妖怪ウォッチ Yōkai Wotchi?", trademarked in Japan as "Youkai Watch" and "Yokai Watch"; lit. "Monster Watch") developed by LEVEL-5, Inc, which has sold over 6.5 million units in Japan. With an imaginative plot, great characters, comedy and adventure, "Yo-Kai Watch" has become one of the most popular franchises of all time in Japan.
