The Angry Primeape Observation Diary - POKÉTOON Episode 10 Review - How To Calm A Primeape
Even if my Japanese is limited, all my years of watching anime has helped me get the gist of what the plot for this story is about. Basically, the unnamed boy is keeping an observation diary about his partner Pokémon Primeape, that he’s then recounting to his class at school. The boy is always mentioning how angry it is, and wonders if he could find a way to not see Primeape so angry, so he does various activities to calm it down like meditation, watching a movie, and all sorts of relaxing stuff. Unfortunately, Primeape gets anxious when it’s not lashing out, so the boy realizes that what his Pokémon wants is to get stronger, and they switch from R&R to Pokemon battles!
For the characters, it’s mainly the boy and his Primeape. I do love how patient and loving the boy is towards Primeape. He never gives up on his Pokemon and always does activities with it. I do like that even if Primeape gets annoyed with whatever the boy does with it, it never attacks its Trainer. It shows a sign of trust the two have. Though, it is hilarious that the boy technically “killed” his Primeape and made it evolve by coincidence and he’s just there with a giant smile plastered on his face. I’m also surprised with the cast. The boy is voiced by Rie Kugimiya who’s practically a regular in Pokémon at this point—give her a main role in the weekly anime already! Primeape is voiced by Mitsuo Iwata, who’s also a prolific voice actor as well! They did a fantastic job!
This is my first time writing a review for the POKÉTOON series. If you want me to write reviews for the other ones, please let me know!
