We have to say, The Pokémon Company has been absolutely killing it with its short animated series over the past few years. And it now has what looks to be another stunning series, as the first episode in the Pokémon Legends: Arceus anime series, Pokémon: Hisuian Snow, is out now and available online!
Hisuian Snow follows Alec, a young boy who meets a Hisuian Zorua out in the wild. The people of Hisui believe that Pokémon are hostile and that they can't live in harmony with humans — just like in the game — but Alec's encounter with the cute little fox leads to the boy questioning that belief. Also, a shiny on your first try? That's a bit unfair!

Fire Emblem: Three Houses voice actor Chris Hackney has also confirmed that he's the voice of lead character Alec, and he does a fine job from what we can tell so far:
The animation style is beautiful, and the episode captures the calm essence and mystery of wandering around the wild areas in Legends: Arceus. it's only a short watch, and for the look and music alone, it's totally worth it. We applaud the work of Wit Studio on the show.
Have a watch of episode one, Onto the Icy Blue, below! Then let us know what you thought of it.

Straight in with a shiny, it took me blooming ages!
That episode ended like one of Grug's stories
I absolutely loved it. Absurdly cute, great delve into how Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark came to be and to top it all off, an actual, canonical shiny Pokemon in an anime for the first time in what feels like forever! We had a few sprinkled throughout the previous series' (Hawlucha, Charjabug, Voltorb, etc.), but never as a main character. Can't wait to see how this unfolds!
Also yes I am jealous that he found a shiny Zorua just like that while I've been looking for one for the past 3 months, how could you tell?
This was great! Hate to complain here but this needs to be a full series, not a mini collection of 3 shorts!
Was rather quaint,
but a little short.
I hope they keep these mini series coming. I gave up on the main tv show a long, long time ago, but this kind of thing and the Poketoons one-shots they occasionally put out are all great.
If only the game looks as good as the show.
@Ulysses Bandai Namco could also do great considering their work on New Pokemon Snap.
They should get Wit Studio or BONES to do all of the Pokemon anime. Especially BONES after that Bump of Chicken Pokemon music video they made.
As always (like 80% of the time) the english dub kinda....... suuc....is not good
There have been so little things that are not from english speaking places that have a good english dub.
They worry so much that they NEED to have lip sync that they forgot the right tone anda emotion.
Been playing Danganronpa decadence and man! I have to play it with japanese voices
