Neo Yokio is regarded as the greatest city in the world, in part because it is North America's most populous urban agglomeration. It is also a diverse labyrinth of innovation that is at the forefront of global fashion and finance. Among its residents is lovesick Kaz Kaan, the youngest member of a family of "magistocrats," pink-haired demon slayers who once liberated the city. He isn't that into the demon-slaying, though, and would prefer to go shopping, play field hockey and try to mend his broken heart. Kaz has friends Lexy and Gottlieb by his side as he navigates life in Neo Yokio while trying to stay a step ahead of archrival Arcangelo Corelli, the city's most eligible bachelor.

Critics Consensus

Lacking an interesting plot or stimulating social commentary, Neo Yokio is a missed opportunity bound to bore or befuddle casual viewers and frustrate hardcore anime fans.

Sela Gebre Bitch Media The fact that Neo Yokio left me questioning whether it's meant to parody elite cluelessness or replicate it makes me feel that it's mostly the latter. Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire As a visual playground and an assembly of colorful compatriots, Neo Yokio carries its own singular delights. Rated: B May 9, 2019 Full Review Christopher Hooton Independent (UK) Completely refreshing, the first season took in couture, class, narcissism, capitalism, and ennui but never took itself too seriously; May 9, 2019 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof Good script, good animation and a good cast of voice actors. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews Neo Yokio is so obviously a male work with an unapologetic male gaze. Rated: D Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Boon Chan The Straits Times (Singapore) Presumably, Neo Yokio is good, even excellent, in some of these other universes. But in this world, it is merely an awkward amalgamation of New York and Tokyo whose name does not even roll off the tongue smoothly. May 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel B Yo creo que el principal problema de “Neo Yokio” es que en primera instancia parece que va a ser una feroz crítica social y clasista, pero lamentablemente la poca duración de esta misma hace que termine yendo por otros lados que desvirtúan al conflicto principal. Aún así esta serie me pareció súper entretenida, Kaz es de esos personajes que están hechos para ser molestos, pero que por alguna razón terminas apoyando. Amé la estética de la ciudad y lo pomposo de la misma. Los personajes secundarios me parecieron muy buenos y en cada episodio aportan en la trama. Esta primera temporada podrá no tener el guion más pulido, y varios capítulos parecen que no van a llegar a ningún sitio, pero en verdad recalco lo propositiva que es. El conflicto es interesante, que los personajes se vistan con ropa de diseñador real dota a esta misma de una personalidad única al igual que lo excéntrico de sus personajes. Una serie que creo que con la dedicación adecuada podría transformarse en un referente de Netflix. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Cow B It's one of my favorite anime series ever. I loved it a lot, especially the pink Christmas movie. The rap scene is my absolute fav. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 6 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 06 animated episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect for just watching completely empty-minded at 3am, but also does in fact have a nice commentary on the state of America and the upper class today. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member It's stupid in a sort of entertaining way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
