The Yo-kai Watch anime is Weird!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- With the 10 year anniversary underway, I decided to revisit a lot of what the Yo-kai Watch franchise has to offer, including the dub of the anime! When a young boy named Nate finds a strange capsule machine in the forest, he’s surprised to release a yo-kai named Whisper from one of the prizes! Without realizing it, Nate has come into contact with the world of spirits known as yo-kai! This is gonna get weird…

#YokaiWatch
Yo kai watch is so under rated, so glad its getting more and more coverage this year
An underrated gem to cherish forevermore!
@@Endore5000 agreed lol
True
I remembered watching this and loving it so much i got into the games. What i really like about it is how Nate only summons Yo-Kai. He doesn't control them like pokemon. If they were doing something before they will be caught off-guard and they might even leave immediately if they dont qant to fight. This is pretty entertaining and makes for some funny situations.
Yup, as Whisper says, “Yo-kai have lives too you know, and you could summon them in the middle of their business.”
Or stuff like you have to take them ouut to purify them, which is just...
I remember when I was little I watch this on Netflix and I eventually forgot about it like lost media or something on till now I start hearing about this
Memories awakened!
At least for me s1 it is still on netflix
@@Endore5000Do you know Yo-Kai Watch has a unedited English dub of Yo-Kai Watch
How do you watch Yo-Kai watch pls I need to know is it on Netflix
Omg frfr I had a watch from the show too!!
First off, 0:00 THAT OPENING ROCKS!!!
second, Yokai Watch is *10 YEARS OLD???*
Yup, the first game released in Japan 10 years ago, 2013!
I remember watching this show and there’s a lot of things that went over my head as a young kid, found it was supposed to be a video game franchise but I’m continuing watching the show, good to know that this wasn’t a fever dream and people actually remember this show.
It’s a bit of a classic, at least to a degree, since it is the show that boosted the franchise into the stratosphere and then some!
They used to play yokai watch on filipino television, they played the filipino dub and english dub
Great video! Jibanyan's special episode was so heartwarming!
It truly was, and surprisingly dark.
I remember teaching Yokai Watch when I was around 6 and I was honestly so invested in it
Glad to see that there’s still ppl who know about it
You bet, once a yo-kai enters your life, things will never be quite the same.
Yo-kai watch is now 10 years old?!?!?!? Holy crap, it doesn't even feel that long time ago when i first saw the anime on disney xd! 😳
Well the localization was 8 years ago but the initial release in Japan was in 2013!
from the moment i discovered this show, i was instantly obsessed by whisper, and watching him progressively become more incompetent and being bullied more and more made me so sad haha
the ending of yokai watch 2 made my soul leave my body lmao
I remember when Whisper used to be a super helpful and intellectual butler for Nate, then the passage of time happened and he was written to be a silly marshmallow man.
@@Endore5000 i have two theories: it's either to do with the alternate universe stuff mentioned in yokai watch 3 and that one anime episode, or the fact that he was bonked on the head so many times progressively made him lose more and more braincells until he was reduced to the state that we see today
5:35 HE SAID IT HE SAID THE THING!!!
:D
i LOVED this show and was SO mad when netflix took it off
I wish they added Season 2
@@garfieldfan925 i weirdly remember watching a season 2 BUT never a season 3
@@a_cool_bottle really?
@@garfieldfan925 yea i THINK luckly i think all the episodes are on yt but you gotta pay for them so :(
ALSO i remember watching the movie ALOT i loved it
Common Netflix L
This was my childhood man, I loved this show so much I remember I got a yokai watch for my 7th birthday
What a great gift to get!
I remember having an obsession on Mermother, Spoilerina and Shogunyan lol
Those are some really great yo-kai so I'm not surprised!
I remember watching this when I was 8 and always liked the kyubi story
Kyubi is a pretty cool dude for sure!
Kyubi and Venoct were always my favorite characters
@@DatsyoashleyMine too. They had this kind of Goku and Vegeta energy to them that made them super cool
I wish yo kai watch can go back being popular in the west
It definitely became popular way too late, and the prices of the games only soared after people finally discovered the franchise and wanted to play them.
ah yo-kai watch, it was my favourite anime/game series when it first came out. felt pretty special to me at the time since it released on my birthday :) always love to see coverage on it!
Well I’m glad to be of service in covering it!
I’ve been keeping up with the anime ever since it came out and when it just randomly disappeared into like the 3rd season I was so confused and wanted to finish it so I searched on google and finished the anime and even other anime’s about ykw as well. I still keep up with the ykw anime this very day but man. Amazing video keep up the great work❤
Glad you liked the video and the anime! It is fun.
They only aired the first 26 episodes in my homeland, so i had to watch the rest online. Boy i was missing out.
Season 2 is where things start getting great!
oh boy, level 5 sure has a thing for first seasons being 26 episodes in length, huh
I agree with most of his opinions but I personally enjoy season two more because its way more mature in some places and makes for a pretty funny experience for older audiences
I do also like season 2 a lot, specifically in the original Japanese format. They really stepped up their game on that one.
The one with the gay robot?
So happy to see yokai watch being talked about again by a bunch of youtubers, also omg I recognize that name you probably dont remember me but we used to talk on twitter when I was really into yokai watch and cookie run.
Oh I do recognize you, ol friend. Barakuma is a very distinct name! But hey, I’m very glad that you enjoyed the video! It’s always fun to talk about Yo-kai Watch!
Don’t stop the reviews they are entertaining and I’m curious to see your thoughts about the rest of the series and game
Don’t worry, I plan to talk about more on Yo-kai Watch in the future. There’s plenty to discuss! Of course this will be every now and then, not immediately. Don’t want to look like I’m specifically a Yo-kai Watch TH-camr or something. I’m all about variety!
@@Endore5000 hey man don't let that one slide now is the 10 years berthday so it's the perfect time hit the steel while it's hot man!
makes me so happy to see a yokai watch video in this day and age! really hoping more people find out about this franchise, soo underrated
You said it!
The Yokai Watch lore goes so deep with. Season one is the introduction. You meet Nate, Whisper, Jibanyan and the others. You also learn about summoning and the Yokai Watch. By the end of season one and the most of season two are lore based. You learn about the origins of Whisper and Jibanyan in detail and you see some serious villains that take them back in time. Characters who are actually bad people and not just trolling. This was obviously to hype the movie. The movie makes the lore go even deeper and you learn that Nate’s great grandfather actually invented the Yokai Watch. Dane Deadtime has to be one of the most evil Yokai. She tries to erase the Yokai Watch and kill Jibanyan but her backstory is actually really sad. After the movie the rest of season two goes back to normal. After season two is when we get season three. They got new voice actors for the characters and it sounds similar but not the same. We also get introduced to Hailey An another person who bought the Yokai Watch from a store. This kind of ruins the whole Nate is the only one who can see them and Hailey starts getting more time than Nate? Why? There was another movie and then Shadow side…
There was a lot in the franchise early on and it’s crazy how it all interlocked
I will always remember watching the first episode an immediately getting hooked. I even made a close friend because of Yo kai watch!
Hey, that’s pretty neat!
I agree with everything you said
Thats it
Cool, great to hear!
I’ll never understand why it didn’t stick to the games plot-
Instead it became a somewhat slice of life instead
Well actually, the Slice of Life format is what made the anime such a success. The creators said the idea was for the audience to be humored by the idea of everyday occurrences being caused by these weird yo-kai. And it worked, people love the anime.
8:33 indeed, after i watched Yo-kai Watch, i changed from a superhero fan to a supernatural fan
You can be both but yeah I’m sure Yo-kai Watch made a lot of people interested in the supernatural!
Yo-kai Watch is an amazing anime, manga and video game. I remember watching it on Cartoon Network back in the day. Only the 70 something episode aired and the first movie. This was the reason why I bought a ds and playing all 4 games which released. And still collecting the manga too, fortunately viz still releasing it. This video brought back memories and I feel old at the same time. Komasan is my favourite.
Loving that I'm reminding people of the franchise again. And yes Komasan is one of the best yo-kai for sure!
Omg I used to watch this show when I was younger
Of course, it’s pretty good after all!
I love Yo-kai Watch, but my 3DS keeps resetting the internal clock by itself and i hate having to get yelled at by Gargaros and making new games destroying my progress.
Its been like this for years, but it hasent stopped me yet!
I love those games, and ill always do my best to show support to this franchise.
Yo-kai Watch will always deserve the world!
Allow me to just say that the first theme song Gera Gera po, was extremely better then the one that came after, which was the 4kids gum gum rap levels of bed in comparison. Also, let me say that I cried when I saw Whispers backstory
Gera Gera Po is such a bop
Omg i love that gera gera po reference you made at 5:25 😭😭
Bascly evrey song is a bop
I actually _kinda liked Swampy's take_ on the Theme Song - though this is coming from someone *who doesn't* feel _4Kids' One Piece Intro_ was an Unholy Abomination designed to rape Eardrums, so _take it how you will..._
*Gera Gera Po* is still a much superior Theme Song though, for sure...
Yokai watch 1's ending was so sad the first time because you think that all your yokai freinds go away but then they come back and your freinds till the end but the series in the USA is over now
Well the series in the USA is over, for now. Since there was never an official announcement that Yo-kai Watch would stop being localized. So there’s always a chance for its return.
@@Endore5000 True Dat
Nostalgia asf
Which is WILD, it’s been long enough to be nostalgic to people, wow!
Love this video i love how you talk about the story, characters and tell how you feel about the show yo kai watch season 1 is good but i prefer season 2 because i found the episode more funnier and they explored more areas such as the yo kai world or that movie episode plus the model zero watch is so cool.
The Model Zero is really cool indeed, and very happy you loved the video!
Yo what’s up Static
@@ZerotheHero77 yo what’s up dude
I love this franchise so much, I'm begging for the 4th game to be localised.
The 4th game was just released in China, so there's definitely hope once again!
Yay last vid and then I have watched every single vid on this channel can’t wait to watch it
You’ve been binging haven’t you! Thanks for watching!
@@Endore5000you’re welcome
there will always be a special place in my heart for yokai,,, i think there was a 3ds game too while i played
There was a lot of 3DS games actually, Yo-kai Watch 3 being one of the best DS games ever made!
Yo your thumbnail looks amazing!
Aw shucks! Thanks, I take a lot of pride in making my own art as a focus for thumbnails. Planning to make the entirety of my thumbnails my art at some point! Glad you love it!
@@Endore5000 🫡
I love that the yo-kai watch fandom is being revived right now.
Pretty cool!
Yo kai watch has one of the best sound tracks
TRUEING, SO TRUEING!!!
I remember watching this on Netflix
Never saw past season one
Fun Fact, Netflix once accidentally had the wrong dub of Yo-kai Watch that wasn't from Disney XD. It was from a different studio and they corrected the mistake within a couple days I believe.
@@Endore5000 huh, funny!
In Yo Kai Watch season 1 I think the Eerie and Mysterious tribes have a catchy song.
My favourite part of the anime is that the creators of Phineas and Ferb did the English anthem.
Which is always an interesting and funny fact to most people. Swampy Marsh himself, in Yo-kai Watch.
Tbh i forgot this show existed but it is technically my first anime, at the time i thought it was just a cartoon. I remember really liking this show and being sad when i finished it, then finding the movie and watching that too. That movie and the whole anime were pretty fire ngl
The anime is quite fire indeed, and the movie goes hard.
Man i loved yokai watch so much that i somehow was able to put netflix on an old xbox360 just to watch the movie cause at the time i didnt have a ps4 (it was very blurry)
It is a great anime, very fun. The movie is pretty good too.
Just Yokai Watch Out Of Context! 😂😂😂
Yo-kai Watch out of context is always wild
The automated english subtitles said jibanyan trains to fight drugs at 3:41
Based subtitles! Imagine being inspirited by a yo-kai while on drugs! That’d be a nightmare!
True
i have played all the yo kai watch games and in the machine you can get food so imagine if nate got food instead of whisper
That would have been quite the difference, and probably awkward
The intro does go hard
tho
(Also komo San and komo jiro where the best yo kai)
Gotta love Komasan and Komajiro!
1:54 a dude plus a dog, with said dog being multiplied by wood, equals that abomination?
That’s the equation of Manjimutt for ya!
My day be so fine and then I remember that rockabelly exists
Rockabelly is fine, what’s the worst they can do.
Oh wait, I remember now.
I remember this thing from when I was a child, it helped me have my first friend from elementary school, I was never able to play the games unfortunately although I enjoyed seeing what they were like through gameplays
By the way, in my country Mexico and I don't know if in other parts of Latin America the subject of the credits normally came up with its animation animation appeared in the channel's commercials it was something to me it was something strange in the sense that I don't want to see it a little bit scary, but I assumed that it was partly because I didn't want my parents to see me watching cartoons and that cause was almost a teenager.
although when I was alone I didn't want to see it if I could, this didn't just happen to me, to many Spanish-speaking children. I also can't really think of a reason., I don't know if it was due to the lack of context, the somewhat low resolution models, the theme or some other element of it.
Do someone know if they simply took the models from the game and made the animation like that directly? From how I remember it, it seemed that way, I would check it out, but I think the DXD accounts disappeared.
Well I’m glad you enjoyed Yo-kai Watch, and glad it helped too!
I also prefer the original Japanese opening song over that swampy opening song for the English opening.
The Japanese OPs also win over the English ones because there’s like a dozen different versions of Gera Gera Po over the anime’s lifespan and they all slap!
Yokai-watch 1-3 anime: funny, weird but heartwarming
Yokai-watch Movie: funny, action and a bit of tension
Yokai-watch movie Enma: Hype as all hell
Yokai-watch movie forever friends and Shadowside anime: HEY KIDS YA LIKE MURDER!? YA LIKE YOUR MOM!? TO BAD A YOKAI POSSESED HER AND SHE RAN IN FRONT OF A CAR! SHE DEAD, YOU'RE AN ORPHAN NOW!
SISTER!? DEAD JUMPED OF A BUILDING; NOW WHO WANTS TO GET STABBED BY A CHILD K*LLING GRANNY WITH KNIVES!?
Yokai-Watch Gakuen: World is ending, yokai reincarnated as humans transform and fight DBZ lvl opponents in the end
PS: we don't talk about the live action
The live action one is so weird.
I saw the movie in theaters! I actually still have the movie exclusive Hovernyan metal!
How awesome for you, the Hovernyan medal was in low supply so you’re a lucky duck for sure!
Personally, my favorite yo-kai are:
*Nosirs, Nagatha, Chatalie, Dazzabel, Rattelle, Skelebella, Komasan, Komajiro, Chicken Chukket, Cornfused, Lazy Sundae, Life-is-parfait, Oh Bah Gah!, Petty-Cake, Salty Bacon, Zest-a-Minute, Papa Bolt, Mama Aura, Uncle Infinite, Auntie Heart, Frazzel, Babblong, Whisper, Nonuttin, Ben Tover, Boyclops, Lady Longnek, Pallysol, So-Sorree, Bowminos, My-Baaad, Daiz, Love-Torn, Failian, Pearly White, Bruff, Lord Shrillington, Wantston, Roughraff, Judgebrick, Spenp, Casanuva, Casanono, Faysoff, Dimmy, Oh Wheel, Eyepo, Wack-o-Lantern, Lafalotta, & Noway*
I remember loving Komasan a lot 😂
Komasan is the cutest.
yo this is so cool
you should totally revisit/review more of the level 5 animated series (cough cough, inazuma eleven, cough cough)
Perhaps I will, perhaps.
I’m really surprised that Slimamander, as far as I know, barely ever showed up in the anime, considering he’s a fan favorite when it comes to bosses.
I’m pretty sure he’s a main character in Shadowside. Although he’s, weird in that one, to say the least.
Yeah... The Less you know about *Micchi the Slimamander in Yo-Kai Watch Shadowside,* the More Satisfaction you'll have for Slimamander in general - his Personality in Layman's Terms is: the Old Pervert that thinks they're still in their Prime, despite being Weak as Shit, and has a Creepy Obsession with the Female Protag. Kind of like _DragonBall's Oolong_ - even when he looks intimidating, he can be KO'd by a Light Breeze. *Comedy Relief through and through...*
Micchi could've been a decent Character if _LEVEL-5_ hadn't decided to make him Comedy Relief, as his Humanoid Form could've made him a more versatile Fighter - but then they made this form *pathetically Weak,* making it absolutely worthless! It's a good-looking form otherwise, incorporating his other Two Heads into the ShoulderPads and *not giving the Mask a Hole for his Tongue to hang out from.* Doesn't lower the Creep Factor he radiates during _his attempts to woo the Protag, though..._
@@lianaverwood9810Yea, still love shadowside tho it’s a amazing series.
Bro when I was like 4 or 3 I watched yo kai watch on Netflix and I watched the movie but I forgot about yo kai and just a while ago I remembered about it
A lot of people watched it on Netflix huh, especially the movie. You learn something new everyday.
Opinion respected. I like the Yo-Kai Watch anime as well, and I used to watch it on Netflix since 2016, but sadly it got removed from their on April 2021. 😟
Darn Netflix removing the best stuff from their service!
@@Endore5000frrrrr
Looks like they put it back. (At least in France).
POOR AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Best weirdest/questionable video ever
Nice
BRO I JUST CLICKED THE VIDEO AND THE TIMING COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT
I was repeating that song in my head for a while, and right before I clicked this, I was on the word right before this ☠️☠️
Anyway, im gonna continue watching this and comment again when im done
Perfect timing, nice.
so happy i see yokai watch getting more attention now
You and me both!
Y’all that’s me 1:27
TRUE
I rember witching the anime on Disney XD , those were the doys 😊 (btw my favorite tribe is Shady)
Shady is one of the cooler tribes to be sure! I love the Charming tribe myself, cute yo-kai are great.
I love this so much
Great to know!
I remember watch Disney XD as a kid
Yup, Yo-kai Watch’s home channel in America. Nice.
I loved this show to death back then. I'd watch it all the time. That and Pokemon. Good simple times....
I should revisit it sometime
Yo-kai Watch is a classic for sure.
Yo kai watch is amazing as a show as a video game and as a whole
Happy 10 years!
You bet it is!
@@Endore5000 on what a 5 star coin?
I heard that In europe the swampy marsh theme was used in season 1 and gera gera po was used in season 2
If that's the case, they had the right idea. Yo-kai Watch was more popular in Europe so they probably put more care into the UK localization.
me: reads the title
my hand: *gun
What
My childhood memory has been unlocked, I am half Japanese myself which makes this even better
Well neato!
YOKAI WATCH IS SO REAL
Truly very real indeed
This was great to watch! I miss my old yo-kai watch games and the anime, I'd like to revisit them, is the anime still on Netflix or did it get moved somewhere else?
Netflix removed it and the anime is not currently streaming anywhere. You have to find other sources for it, there’s a DVD at least.
Omg it was 10 years ago when we were blessed with Yo Kai Watch now
Omg I feel so *old* XD
P.S. this show was great, thanks for talkin about it haha =3
Twas my pleasure, gotta love Yo-kai Watch!
I love it as a kid so much ❤
Glad you did!
I love this show and the games.
They’re pretty awesome!
first time ever i hear the english opening , the rhyme is really good xD wth
Glad you like it!
The captions tell a different story
Oh boy
Kinda hate how it didn't balance or take it's self abit more seriously in term of story, lore and even comdey,
It feels as time goes on they went for more experimental stuff and cheap gags, but in fairness they still had nice stories along the way
After about a few hundred episode segments it did start to get not as good. The English dub didn’t get to that point though as it stopped getting dubbed before those episodes.
You will do an entire review for 10 years? (anime s1-3 and games 1-3)
Well I do plan on talking about more from the Yo-kai Watch anime. The games maybe not, at least not on this channel. I do have a channel for games called Endore050 and maybe there I could discuss the games.
I love Yokai watch
I do too, very lovable franchise indeed.
You're attacking me with nostalgia
Nostalgia soultimate GO!
@@Endore5000 I also played Yo Kai watch 2 so its even more hard hitting
Isnt the swampy marsh theme song thr 3ds games theme songs??
Yes, they used variations of the Swampy Marsh theme for YW1 and YW2. However in YW Blasters and YW3, they instead dubbed the opening songs from King Cream Soda. AND, the boss music for Hinozall is a dubstep remix of the Swampy Marsh theme!
does anyone remember this clip of a feudal looking komasan breaking walkappa's kneecaps?
It was def one of the later seasons (it wasn't dubbed)
anyways this anime gets hilariously absurd I love this series
The more absurd it gets, the better!
I still have the toy watch and the medals as well as the games oh and do you remember the mobiel game yo-ki-watch wibbel wobble sorry if i spelt that wrong
Yo-kai Watch Wibble Wobble was the localization of Yo-kai Watch Puni Puni, and yes I do remember! In fact, Puni Puni is one of Japan’s most successful mobile apps. It has like 10,000 yo-kai in it.
I personally think the anime hurt the series’ reputation here in the west. It’s likely more people saw the anime than the games, and all the weirdness kinda made people write it off. Personally, I don’t like the anime all that much, it’s too weird for my liking. I love the games tho.
Nah believe me, yes the Yo-kai Watch anime is weird and all, but it is SO TAME compared to what’s usually in other anime. If someone has watched anime before then Yo-kai Watch is a walk in the park. It really only helped get more people into the franchise, a complete net-positive you could say.
And as someone who has watched it WAY past season 1, it only got weirder and the franchise only got more popular so it did not detour nearly as many people as it brought in.
@@Endore5000i think the season 1 is the worst cus 2 and all have more yokai, arent centered on only jibanyan, more legendaries ,ect
JIBANYAN! The most adorable Yokai..
He's very cute indeed.
@@Endore5000 Ik! He's adorable!
this video is great to watch
Heck yeah!
Do you know where I can find a single copy of the the English dub for the anime, I can’t find it anywhere aaaa-
Not sure, I think there was a DVD for season 1 but you can also watch the show on Disney Now? Or find an anime streaming site of some kind.
I liked the anime but damn, i'm jealous. Other Countries got the Movie and more Seasons. We in Germany got the first 26 Episodes and thats it. It was an Nickelodeon and it was for me, the saddest Anime death
Well darn, Germany getting the short end of the yo-kai stick.
I'm just wondering, do you have any yo kai watch medals?If so, which are the best ones in your opinion?
I do have yo-kai medals, some of my favorites include Blizzaria, Shogunyan, Spoilerina, Dragon Lord, and Gargaros. I also have 4 Damona medals because I’m insanely lucky I guess.
Wow you very lucky!
I really can’t argue with that statement, but my kid self still tried to enjoy it anyway. I stopped watching as a preteen because of one episode about a yokai that makes people order others around.
A yo-kai that makes people order others around? That sounds like either Cue-Tee or Demandi but they show up in like season 3 so you must’ve watched pretty far.
@@Endore5000 It was the yokai that made Katie order Nate/Keita to carry her books, which then made him fantasize about her ordering him to take her on a date.
Epic
Sure is.
I had to watch the 215 episodes in japanese because in germany the anime only has 26 episodes dubbed. But I really enjoyed the anime...it was still a bit weird tho😅
VERY weird, and it only gets weirder, trust me!
@@Endore5000 thats why I love it 🤣
i hope you will watch Y academy (aka another yokai watch series) but it didn't have English dub so oof
I hope to get to Y Academy as well. I think it has a subtitled version out there, that works fine with me.
yeah, really suck that Japanese yokai watch has alot of episodes than English one
My birthday is tomorrow i'm getting the game for my birthday :DD
An awesome gift indeed!
when I was younger I thought Kyubi and Komasan were girls X_X
They definitely give off feminine energy sometimes. Nothing wrong with a couple of feminine boys!
My brother has a yokai watch
And surprisingly i have plushies of the cat the robot cat and whisper. Plus the weird blue cat
The blue cat might be Shogunyan. But yeah the plushies were very cute, they Japanese ones are way better though, unsurprisingly. They had a lot more yo-kai in plush form.
@@Endore5000 there's better versions? Nice. Might check them out. I just found mine at a peddlers mall.
Also I have vivid memories of walking around in one of the yokai watch games and then just getting destroyed because I walked past a red light
