Neo Yokio is a Japanese-American animated series that premiered on Netflix on September 22, 2017, created by Ezra Koenig. The series follows the daily life of Kaz Kaan (Jaden Smith), a "magistocrat" who lives in the titular city of Neo Yokio. More than a century ago, Kaz's ancestors were summoned to Neo Yokio to quell a sudden uprising of demonic energy that threatened to bring the city to its knees. Their descendants continued to protect the city, many of them joining the ranks of high society in the process.Kaz is the latest in a long line of magic users, reluctantly upholding the family legacy of demon hunting. He would prefer to dedicate his time to fashion, field hockey, and staying in the top spot on the Neo Yokio bachelor board, but his Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon) conspires to keep him employed. At her behest, Kaz takes up work performing various magical tasks— exorcisms, demon slaying, et cetera— that keep the city from being overrun by malignant occult forces.Alongside his robotic butler Charles (Jude Law), best friends Lexy and Gottlieb, arch-rival Arcangelo Corelli, and disaffected fashion-blogging former flame Helena St. Tessero, Kaz will have to juggle both his high society image and an increase in demonic activity that could threaten Neo Yokio once again.An hour-long Christmas Episode, entitled Neo Yokio: Pink Christmas, was released on December 7, 2018. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Sailor Pellegrino references a few modern pop stars. Besides having Katy Perry's blue hair, she's got a Southern accent like Miley Cyrus's and Taylor Swift's romantic notoriety and country-star-moves-to-the-big-city background. | |

Embarrassing Hospital Gown | |
| Neo Yokio / int_1f224a06 | comment |
Embarrassing Hospital Gown: After her Near-Death Experience, Helena swears off her Fashionista ways while still at the hospital, and as a protest, decides to never change out of the flimsy hospital gown she's wearing. She even attends a fancy party while wearing only that, which scandalizes Neo Yokio's fashion-fixated society and embarrasses her friends and family. It also backfires somewhat since some of her die-hard fans decide hospital gowns are a new trend are start wearing those instead of their school uniforms, to the annoyance of the staff. By the time the Christmas special rolls around Bergdorf Goodman is selling couture hospital gowns and diamond-encrusted bandages to the trendy youths of Neo Yokio. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Neo Yokio / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: The Remembrancer. The one-man investigator and Neo Yokio secret police. He may be trying to stop a terrorist, but he is aggressive, willing to ignores concepts like warrants and diplomatic immunity if no one calls him out on it, and is downright a creepy bastard. He is also voiced by Steve Buscemi. He fits this trope like a powdered wig. | |

Circling Monologue: Invoked when the Helenists have Kaz captured and prepped for a demonic sacrifice - Helena arrives on the scene and begins to monologue about how Kaz represents everything that's wrong with Neo Yokio, circling him as he's tied to a crude wooden altar. Subverted immediately afterward when she knocks down one of the Helenists with a giant candy bar, revealing that she was only using the monologue as a distraction to get in position to attack. | |

Only Sane Man: When Cathy is finally introduced, she immediately proves to be more well-adjusted than the typical rich socialite, content with her new San Francisco job, and only gets frustrated with Kaz when she sees his douchy behavior hasn't changed. She's even ashamed when she realizes bringing up her new boyfriend as soon as she encountered Kaz was insensitive. Her worst behavior, telling her new boyfriend that Kaz is crazy jealous and worried that he's stalking her, isn't that unreasonable a concern. | |

Loony Fan: The Helenists big time. They follow Helena's blog religiously, send her a lot of letters, and start imitating her behavior. While not wearing their school uniforms isn't a real issue, becoming Hikikomori and letting themselves becomes possessed by demons are. The latter is more significant because they call their possession a "tribute to their queen". | |

After being possessed by a demon and falling down a flight of stairs, Helena dons a hospital gown and head bandage for most of the series. Giving up her former life as a fashionista, Helena becomes reclusive and rarely shows any emotion besides her annoyance towards Kaz.

Fantastic Slurs | |
| Neo Yokio / int_6e429667 | comment |
Fantastic Slurs: Arcangelo repeatedly calls Kaz a "Ratcatcher" in reference to his Magistocratic heritage. The tourism video that opens the first episode helpfully informs viewers that the magicians and occultists who came to Neo Yokio to deal the the demon problem in the 1800's were "colloquially called ratcatchers." (The voiceover that announces this factoid accompanies footage of a magician blasting several large rats with a bolt of purple energy, though whether his actions are purely for pest control purposes or to stamp out diseases like the plague is left vague). | |

Foreign Culture Fetish: Mila, the Soviet Race Car Driver, has fetish for everything Neo Yokio. From the Plasma Television to the Californian king sized bed, she openly admires and verbally espouses the merits of Neo Yokio's excess. In episode 3 'O, the Helenists...', Kaz states several times for his fondness for Eastern Fashion that was used at Easton Prep School. He is clearly distraught when the Headmaster announced he would abolish the uniforms. | |

Sailor Fuku: Subverted. The Easton Prep School's female uniforms were heavily implied to be this by Kaz. We never actually get to see the uniforms, however, because the only 3 female students we see in the school are rebelling against the dress code. After the Helenists' demon summoning ritual is foiled, the Headmaster disbanded the uniforms. | |

Alternate History | |
| Neo Yokio / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Aside from the history of demon slaying, the more we learn about Neo Yokio the more obvious it becomes that this world is very different from our own. The original World Trade Center towers are still standing and everything south of 14th Street seems to have been consumed by rising sea levels or sunken into the Atlantic. People still live in the underwater portions of the city in waterproofed townhouses accessible by bubble vehicles. The world map appears to be drastically different. The Soviet Union is still a nation with enough resources to send competitors to international events, suggesting that the Soviet Union did not dissolve in 1991 like in our timeline. Japan and Italy seem to have been combined into a single nation called "Giappone" (the flag is a white field with a bifurcated red-green circle in the center). Also, our world's Quebec is implied to be a separate nation called French Canada (its flag is the same design as the Canadian flag but the left stripe is colored blue to resemble the French flag). Additionally, Neo Yokio itself appears to be an independent city-state. It grants its own citizenships, has its own customs and immigration system to prevent demonic attacks, is its own participant in international competitions, has its own national anthem (a cover of the real-world British religious and patriotic song "Jerusalem"/"And did those feet in ancient time" with the word "England" replaced with "Neo") and their own armed forces and seem to prefer metric to imperial/US customary units. There are no reference to influence from a federal/U.S. government and Neo Yokio is simply referred to as "the largest urban agglomeration in North America". There's evidently a place in southern North America called North Cackalacka. Considering the implied politics of Neo Yokio, it's possible that it's an independent entity or that it may be a U.S. state. (It might also be a region akin to Appalachia, if Sailor Pellegrino's twangy accent is anything to go by. Cackalacka is another way of saying Carolina, so she could simply be saying she's from North Carolina.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| Neo Yokio / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The "Salute to Thames" (more famously known as the theme from the Thames Television logo) is featured in the tourism video shown in episode 1. The eponymous city's name is one to that of Neo-Tokyo. The red motorcycle in episode 1 looks awfully similar to Kaneda's ride from Akira A wealthy layabout bachelor with a persistently flawless butler/valet is accosted to do something by his Aunt Agatha. Kaz regularly attends parties in the Hamptons hosted by an unseen character named Freddie Miles. Sailor Pellegrino Lexy and Gottlieb's tuxedo masks in episode 2. The show makes several references to the poetry of William Blake: The Neo Yokian national anthem that Sailor Pellegrino sings in episode 2 is the hymn "Jerusalem", whose lyrics are drawn from Blake's poem "And did those feet in ancient time". The password to enter the Tiger Bar in episode 5 is "fearful symmetry", a phrase from Blake's poem "The Tyger". In episode 4, Lexy and Gottlieb jump into a magic pool and wind up turning into a woman and a panda. Some of Kaz's more bizarre pseudo-philosophical dialogue is meant to homage Jaden Smith's following on Twitter for his similarly-structured twitter. Episode 3 opens with Charles reading a Rudyard Kipling poem to Kaz - the Trope Namer for Cold Iron, in fact. The Skull in episode 2 is an actual art piece created by Damien Hirst. Kaz has a conversation with an old man while he pours a perfume by the name of Babylon (No.) 5 on a grave. As Kaz & Crew survey the disgusting condition of his uncle's house in the Hamptons, Lexy comments that it looks like "Miss Havisham's house". The curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that appears in Episode 2 is an Andy Warhol expy. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections! | |
| Neo Yokio / int_d8573ef9 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: The Magistocracy, the families of magic and psychic users, have "Magisticratic Immunity" from the law enforcement of Neo Yokio and will only answer to the Lord Mayor. Aunt Agatha uses this to save Kaz from the Remembrancer's interrogation. | |

Animesque | |
| Neo Yokio / int_db08a39d | comment |
Animesque: Co-Animated by Studio DEEN and Moi Animation (with Titmouse and Digital eMation for the Christmas special) to boot. The style imitates anime of the early 2000s, complete with frequently Off-Model characters, flat coloring, and many hallmarks of the genre that have fallen out of favor like sweat drops, nosebleeds, and chibification. It also seems to reference low budget anime dubbing, with poor lip synching and voice acting of varying quality. | |

Idle Rich: Subverted with Kaz; he'd happily be one, but his aunt makes sure he remembers his duties as a magic user. | |

| Neo Yokio / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: We get a strange close-up shot of a female tennis player's butt/crotch in the first and sixth episode. | |

Camp: Is the animation sometimes awesome, but usually crap? Check. The English dub sounds like an Abridged series? Check. Amazing voicing acting over bad lip-syncing? Check! Hated by critics? Check. Jaden Smith's OC? Check. Ladies and gentlemen, set up your tents and light your campfires. | |

Ditch the Bodyguards: Mila Malevich ditches Kaz after convincing him to participate in a three-way lap dance from burlesque dancers. Covered in Kisses, Kaz gives chase when he notices her absence. Mila was able to escape on a fisherman's boat, never to be seen again. | |

Took a Level in Cynic | |
| Neo Yokio / int_f49ba6ee | comment |
Took a Level in Cynic: Although we do not see her before her demonic possession in the firs episode, Helena's personality has certainly undergone a massive change. Her interactions with Kaz following her recovery are terse and confrontational — she criticizes his complacency with Neo Yokio's shallow, materialistic culture, while Kaz rebukes her newfound cynicism as hypocritical. | |
