Poker-Faced Jokerface (Magic Poker Boy in the Japanese Dub) is an anime created by Shigeru Miyamoto. It is produced by BANDAI NAMCO and aired in many TVs on August 12, 2019. It talks about the World Ghost Boss of Wonderland, Jokerface, who uses the powers of cards while battling Kevin.
== Premise ==
It's the story of Jokerface, the World Ghost Boss of "Disney Magical World 2", from the world of Disney's Alice in Wonderland. This adolescent ghost lives in the World of Wonders with his mother Keiko and his pet ghost Bobby Boo.
One day, Jokerface gets taken, on Earth, by a small pixie named Marylin. In the town of Tokyo, Jokerface meets two children named Daisuke and Yoko Sakamoto. Both victims of the terrible sorcerer Kevin's spells, the children become Jokerface's adoptive brothers.
Kevin is a wicked sorcerer who tries to steal the humans' wishes, but Jokerface will save them.
Jokerface has also a girlfriend named Aurora, who's a female ghost with long blond hair and blue eyes. She wears a pink-and-fuchsia dress, and has red heels. Her most important detail is her big fuchsia bow on her head.
Aurora's pet ghost is Gary, the Blastghast. Bobby and Gary are best friends.
Beyond these friends, Jokerface has a classmate named Connor, who has brown eyes, red hair and wears a light blue tailcoat. Connor's pet ghost is Mike, who's a Buzza-Bozz, a ghost from the world of Disney's Lilo & Stitch.
Priscilla, Connor's girlfriend, is a female ghost with black hair and green eyes. She has pink gold skin, and wears a light purple dress with a purple bow on the back, and she wears purple heels.
Priscilla's pet ghost is Pierre the Waxlite. This blue ghost, along with Bobby Boo, Gary and Mike, is part of the Pet Ghost Gang.
Derek is Jokerface's little cousin. He is best known to have dark brown hair and gray eyes. He wears a brown tuxedo with a blue bowtie. He knows how to take care of his pet ghost Bonnie, a female Boingo.
Marina, Jokerface's older sister, is a female ghost with light silver skin, gray eyes and brown hair with blonde highlights. She wears a cobalt blue knee-length wide-skirted dress with a black accent.
Daisy is a female Zhelli, and Marina's pet ghost. She fights for ocean pollution. If a stupid ship spills petrol in the water of the ocean, Daisy and Marina can stop the pollution with the power of the Barrier Reef.
However, besides these friends, Jokerface has a bullying female ghost who tried to flirt with Connor. This female ghost's name is Vanessa: she has platinum skin, hazel eyes, long and wavy pink hair and a gorgeous makeup formed by light blue eyeshadow and pink lips. She wears a long red dress, black opera gloves, diamond earrings and glittery silver strappy heels.
Vanessa's pet ghost, Kendall, is a very spiteful Drillthril.
Angela, Vanessa's best friend, is the most tremendous female ghost, and the closest enemy to Aurora. She has bronze skin, long and curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and an extremely elaborated makeup with red lips and mauve purple eyeshadow. She wears a sleeveless teal knee-length wide-skirted dress, golden bracelets around each wrist, and black heels.
Frank is Angela's pet ghost, the meanest Whakka who bullies Bobby Boo.

== Trivia ==
Jokerface is an elegant young man: he's based on the World Ghost Boss of the same name.
The movie, which is known as "Poker-Faced Jokerface: Quest for the Golden Card", is really based on this anime series.
Jokerface appears also in the official manga of the same name. These Japanese comic books are created by Yamato Yamamoto and published by BANDAI NAMCO since May 2019.
There's also a spin-off series based on the anime. It talks about Jokerface's girlfriend Aurora, who goes on many adventures. The title of this spin-off is called "The Magical Adventures of Aurora".
Hiromi's recipes can be healthy and, sometimes, unhealthy.
There are bosses who are Jokerface's friends. One example is Spike, a gigantic snowman-like ghost from the world of Disney's Frozen.
King Kral, a shark-like ghost from the world of Disney's The Little Mermaid, has always wanted to be the commander of the ocean.
Pierre the Waxlite and Mike Buzza-Bozz agree for something. In the 21st episode (known as "Mother Knows Fashion"), they both disagree over their favorite colors (blue and yellow), which make the color green for Keiko's evening dress.
A Disney movie (known as "Jokerface and the Party Planet") is based on this anime series.
