Hershel Layton and Luke Triton are back. They will both star in the new video game”El Profesor Layton and the new world of Steam(in the absence of a Spanish translation), which for me is the most remarkable surprise of the many announcements that the last Nintendo Direct left us.
However, we are in the anime section, not the video game section. That’s why I’m going to talk to you today about the adventures Professor Layton, his family and friends have had in the world of anime. Moreover, I will tell you what is the correct order to see all this content. Let’s start!

And here is the information on the anime content that has “Professor Layton”. Did you know everything? I invite you to leave your impressions in the comments!
Personally, I saw the movie a long time ago, and I also knew about the existence of the anime. However, I had no idea the show solved the mystery of Layton’s disappearance.. Being so, surely i will only see this 6 episode mini-arc.
