Yo-kai Watch Shadowside (Japanese: 妖怪ウォッチ シャドウサイド, Hepburn: Yōkai Wotchi Shadōsaido) is a supernatural anime series produced by OLM. It is a sequel to the 2017 film Yo-kai Watch Shadowside: Oni-ō no Fukkatsu as well as the original Yo-kai Watch anime series, originally based on the games created by Level-5. Yōichi Katō returned to officially direct and write the anime alongside new staff. It aired on all TXN Stations in Japan from April 13, 2018 [1][2] to March 29, 2019. It was replaced by the 2019 Yo-kai Watch! series in its timeslot.
Just like the movie before it, the series takes a darker and more mature approach to the franchise, focusing on story-driven drama and conflict, unlike the original series' comedic and segmented approach.[3]
