Pokemon Concierge review (Patreon)

Japanese stop motion is generally underappreciated, so I'm glad a franchise as big as Pokemon is utilising it. Indeed, this is high quality animation on a technical level, with extreme fluidity, though this can backfire as the "flawed" quirks of stop-motion have largely been ironed over.

The four episode story follows Haru and her mid-life crisis being healed by her stay and eventual employment at a Pokemon resort. She gets some advice from her quirky colleagues and gets to bond with a Psyduck. Overall a charming story...

... except for the very last episode, which has quite an anti-disability message. It's also mercifully short at least.

Overall, if not for that final dud it is a charming little series. Just skip the last episode.
