What Is Pokemon Concierge?
Directed by Iku Ogawa, written by Harumi Doki, with Tadahiro Uesugi providing the concept art and character designs, and animated by the team at Dwarf Studios (Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, My Dad The Bounty Hunter), Pokemon Concierge is now streaming on Netflix. Featuring the theme song "Have a Good Time Here" as performed by Mariya Takeuchi, artist Non is the voice behind its main character, Haru, in the Japanese voiced release for the series (that you can actually toggle in the series' options).
Non actually spoke with ComicBook.com about Haru's role in the new series stating, "Haru is a very hard working person. She is overworked. She is lost and then decides to work at [Pokemon Concierge]. It is her job to show hospitality to the Pokemon. She makes mistakes, fails, and then tries again. She learns a lot by working with Pokemon." As for what to expect from the new Pokemon Concierge series, Netflix teases it as such:
"'I'm happy when you're happy.' Set at a resort for Pokémon on a southern island, this is the story of a new concierge named Haru, who gradually discovers herself as she and her fellow staff members scramble to attend to the various Pokémon guests."
