I don't really care for the game, but I love the anime! I've seen every episode released here in Japan. I can't say anything about the dub, but the original is pretty hilarious. Definitely give it a try even if you don't go for the game.
just pre-ordered an import from australia
it worked out at around ?30!; which is probably cheaper than if i would have waited and bought it from here whenever it comes out. (still no european release date)
Watch out for import tax. I preordered HM:ToTT from the US a few years back - cheaper than it would have cost to buy new a year later in the UK and it actually arrived to me on the US release date! Except it came with import tax & handling fees which together cost more than I paid for the game itself.
Yeah, this. Or if you need to pay customs and stuff for it.
Also i remembered when I pre-ordered two Neptunia games for PS Vita way back from the UK, since my currency is so bad against the ? all the shipping and currency conversions were really bad.
aaah I didn't even consider this. I've imported from this website before and to my knowledge I wasn't charged anything extra (unless it was already bundled in with the price?!)
but I'll look into it and see if I'm in for any other fees!
thanks for giving me a heads up c:

Where did you buy from? I think I might try to import from Australia too. ~ I think it's now down for a Spring 16 release in Eu and I'm just not up for waiting until March.
Also, everyone is comparing this to Pokemon due to anime + team of 6 monsters. But outside of the battle system, it looks more like Fantasy life to me story / characterwise. But maybe that's just cause it's the only other level 5 game I've played.

Looks like you got lucky last time! Anything with a value of over ?14* (prior to postage costs) runs the risk of getting charged customs fees unless the company selling it lies about the price or marks the package as a gift - which is illegal. The payments are taken by Royal Mail / Parcel Force which is what the majority of mail coming into the UK unfortunately goes through.
They don't catch everything though! I used to order a lot of CDs from Japan, with a value of ?20-30 each, and sometimes I'd have 3-4 parcels in a row hit with fees and other times I'd go months without getting a charge even though the parcels all potentially could have received one.
*may have changed since I last looked into this stuff but probably not by much.

I'm surprised by that. I thought most people would write it off as another pokemon rip off automatically. I pre-ordered a while back, and i'm enjoying the anime a lot. Really excited to get it.
It definitely feels like Fantasy Life a bit in regards to how the story works, or well just a lot of the game.
Yea I'm really enjoying the anime too. It's a lot better than Pokemon's anime.

Good! That assures me that this is worth buying then!
// Though I've only seen about 25 yokai and so far none of them seem as cute as most pokemon. And like half of them seem to be cats??

I like this guy. I gave him a little rename. (pretty sure I got him early enough that it's safe to show)
I should clarify though that I mean you can obviously tell it's from the same developer judging by the menus and stuff, and the way the story works is a bit familiar. It's a very different game of course.

Yeah, the kappa is in plenty of promo pics, so I'm sure it's safe to show. He's my fav of what I've seen too.
I also want the old lady, Tattletale. xD And I'm not sure what to make of the giant sperm, but I'll probably keep it.

Ah alright, I can show anything up to Chapter 6 right now.
Yokai-watch is heavily centred around Japanese culture and mythology so I don't think it'll do amazing like it did in JP when it eventually arrives over-seas, since a lot of children won't understand a lot of the "Yokais" (I think that's what they're called).
Especially since there's only a small Yokai-watch fandom here, due to the anime only recently being dubbed/edited to accommodate western audiences.
