Ok I thought this was gonna be a Yokai version of which ninja *And then Gaijin did anime summoning* I’m watching every episode of this series until I die

Just as Yōkai were once used to explain natural phenomena, Yōkai are now explaining social commentary and reality hitting truths. This is why I love these critters. They are much more than old tales to explain why the creaks at night or unexplained house fires. They look at the human condition and make us look at ourselves. I am loving this series Gaijin! Keep up the good work my dude!

Yo man, I came here for KZfaqr call outs, not valuable life advice that I needed to hear

OH MY GOD!!! HOW DOES A TALKING CARTOON EYEBALL GIVE ME SUCH LIFE ADVICE?! HOLY CRAP!!!

I remember hearing an quote somewhere: "Passion follows your work, so let your work follow your dreams"

Okay...who wants to see Gaijin cover Usagi Yojimbo and Hellboy in their own videos?

I'm starting to think someone has a stand that will detect if a KZfaqr screws up and then makes an anime company make an episode roasting said KZfaqr in a subtle way

Me: Gaijin hasnt uploaded in a bit 1 hour later: Gaijin uploads Me: is spooked

Little G explaining the nuke-kubi brought back memories of reading a story about FIVE such creatures as a young teen. A mix of three males and two females, a young man was taken in by (what he assumed to be) locals of the mountain region he was traveling in. After the house was supposedly asleep, he heard whispering outside his room. Fright of frightful sights as he hid in a bush and saw the decapitated, floating heads of his hosts, plotting to exsanguinate him while he slept. Knowing what to do next, he hid the bodies in some bracken in the surrounding woods, preventing the nuke-kubi from rising to kill again as the dawn broke. Hooray for the Hellboy shoutout! It's my favorite comic series!

Daddy eyeballs voice is also Luffys voice. Just thought I'd point that out.

Damn, GG became a philosopher all of a sudden. Good shiz

"Protagonist of you own life." Was... Was that a mob psycho 100 reference?

Can you make a video on the Western influences on JoJo's Bizzare Adventure(and how it affected the east)?

That line HIT ME SO HARD!!! Not from a content creator's standpoint, mind you! More from the "lost in life, unknown purpose" type of deal! I appreciate that! 👏👏👏

My god that eye just explained what I am going through

I was just expecting a funny video poking fun at humans again, but it ended up being way more inspiring that I expected, I feel like it's just what I needed

9:36 how dare you, Coyote Peterson is a gift to society

To suffer means to live. Buddha's wisdom hits too close to home.

I saw Coyote in this clickbait titles. That boy is committed though, and legitimately follows through with the bite/sting. Truly a mad lad.

That summoning animation is good, but why the kuji-in? i cant seem to find any material relating it to onmyodo.

And THIS, Goomba-sensei, is why I keep telling myself "You need to get off your butt and make more content." I've got another "Wizard Of Snark Review" in the works, and I need to film the first episode of "Toymaker Mischief Incorporated." I'd also like to do a movie/TV retrospective series, which I finally have a title for- "A Wizard Is Never Late."

"We pour our love and passion into it." That phrase. That phrase right there is what made me click the subscribe button. Anyone can jump into youtube and try to talk about whatever is popular. But a true youtuber will put effort and thought into your videos. You guys have done that. And I am not merely being biased because I absolutely love Yokai and Japanese mythology. Please never stop doimg what you love to do

Okay bumping that up to next on my to do list after My Hero Academia.

I'm glad I saw this video. Working at a nursery as my career and doing a let's plays with my buddy does sometimes feel like a struggle. Especially with KZfaq's algorithm making it virtually impossible for anyone to take time off.

2 words Character Development

That summoning animation was so amazing!!!! I loved the way it looked and how the actual Yokai showed up afterward. This was fantastic! Amazing work Gaijin. :D

Now I dare you to cover Monster Girl Quest or anything from Okayado. Also Nura would be cool too.

Oh had to stop to post this, the Goomba animation was AMAZING!!! Audio, animation, colors, everything spot ON!!!

Amazing episode...especially for people facing a life-changing event like graduation just around the corner. Quite excited for the Weavile episode of Yokai Watchers! I like to look into the cultural origins of Pokemon and it hadn't dawned on me until episode 0 of Yokai Watchers that Weavile may have Yokai based inspirations!

OMG THAT ANIMATION OF GOOMBA IS SOOOOOOO PERFECT

Well, that summoning was... spectacular. I really need to follow you more actively.

The, intro, the summoning animation, the new characters, YEP THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE KZfaq SHOW!!!

I understand Nukekubi's plight... I bought a Youkai Attack book some years ago and they don't even have satori in there.

Dude, I just wanted to let you know, we LOVE everything you do. Trendy or not, you make content that is both fun and educational. Both of us, and our 2 year old son greatly enjoy your content. On an unrelated note... Will you be covering Nurarihyon no Mago? (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) It's one of our favorite yokai centric anime and I'm sure there is so much to unpack there.

I absolutely LOVE Which Ninja because of all the information about real life Ninja that I’ve now learned thanks to you! I can’t wait for this new series to start teaching me about Yo Kai! I’m excited!

That is a goomba that Mario will never step on.

I really needed this. Thank you so much Gaigin for being around. 💖

Great life lesson. I'm actually crying right now. 11/10

I've loved your work for a long time and you can count on my support for a long time to come. Thank you That summoning ritual animation is/was amazing! I think the world is full of so much culture and love of culture you, my friend, with your sunny optimism and disposition are perfect for spreading that love. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for making this episode, I'm still growing as an artist, and I think it's important to remember that I'm doing this for my love of creating characters and stories for the enjoyment of people around me. This lit another fire under me to keep drawing!

Please keep making more of these!! I'm a huge fan of Gegege no Kitaro as a whole, so I'm all over this new series you're doing. Have you ever seen any of the other series, though, specifically the 11 episode mini series "Hakaba Kitaro"?

Thanks this has really helped me. I am struggling to find my place and was worried about something that I really want to follow but now I well. Your the best

I actually really needed thu2s video, I am in between out if school and I have been kinda low about life and this has help me a little. Thanks man

Can't wait for more episodes. BTW, that summoning animation was awesome!

Did anyone else expect this to be a yokai version of Which Ninja?

watched a video of yours about GeGeGe No Kitaro and tried out the show and i love it. also that yokai summoning animation was awesome looking!

I know this video is old now but I had to come back to it after I remembered you had made it but hadn't gotten that far in the show yet but now I have and boy this is a great episode as well as this video. You got me to watch this show after your first episode about it and it's the first time I actually sat down and watched an anime subbed and as a result it's opened up my range of media I can enjoy even if it's not spoken in my own language. Thank you for the work you do and while I may not watch every video you made I do enjoy every one I do get around to watching.

Damnnnn Gaijin just hit me right in the feels😭 I can feel how much love and effort you put into your videos, Ill keep supporting you GG!!!

Oh wow I caught this one quite early. Thank you Mr. Goomba good episode.

I have not been getting notification from you. And while this episode was informative and entertaining dude THAT ANIMATED SEQUENCE WAS AMAZING

I love the Yokai videos on your channel. It’s what drew me here in the first place and it’s what keeps me coming back! You’ve really inspired a fascination with this subject for me so thank you!

Sarazanmai was mentioned in the sponsored section in the end. I REALLY hope to see a video on that in the future tbh

Oh man gajin👊 your videos are always so felt and enjoyable. Keep on rocking man.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, that Gooba summoning animation was top shelf!! 😍

damb the intro's a bop anyone know what it's called?

That's one of the reasons I love your channel. You are passionate about making videos that are entertaining and educational and you do a great job at it too!

Thank you for this episode! That line hits real hard and it's so true to life, just as you say. Brb I gotta watch this series :D

I don't typically like these kind of videos, but wow, that yokai has a message I want to remember, nice video dude!

Great episode as always. I always love your GegegenoKitaro episdoes.

Wow, this show is just nuts with how real it is to KZfaqrs. I'm still new to the scene, and I'm only in it for the fun, since I don't plan on monetizing any of my content, but boy did this hit me in the crotch of my heart as well. Great video, Gaijin, I hope your time on KZfaq continues to be successful, because the world needs more people like you on the world.

I'll definitely give it a shot after I clear out some of my anime backlog. Looks like I'll love it. I enjoyed your last video(s) on it.

Such a great episode, can’t wait to see your first episode of Yokai Watchers! I really look forward to it! Also interestingly enough, I actually on a Gegege no Kitaro slot machine. My parents got it for me for Christmas back in 2007. I never knew who the characters were, until I found you and you introducing me to the series. Thanks so much for that! ^^

hell man, you made me cray with that last part

Thank you for the advice eyeball dad. I'm going through something similar as well. I got a job that at least supports my family for now but I don't really know what to do afterwards. Thanks for giving me things to think about.

I think this lesson can be for anyone. For a long time I struggled to find my passion. I've been switching from major to major trying to chase passions that ultimately didn't make me happy and I didn't like doing. Eventually after learning to be a dungeon master and writing my own homebrew it all circled back to what I originally wanted to do. Writing. But i let other things i LIKED to do get in the way and choose my major. I finally got a small job with my cousin's local gaming journalism website and I LOVE it. And I love writing homebrew. I just love to WRITE no matter the subject as long as I have passion for it. It's not just KZfaq. It takes time. You'll struggle and think you want to make your passing fad into a career but eventually it fades out and in time you'll find what you really LOVE to do. I wanted to cry with this episode you made because school and college has made very indecisive of what I want to do and even though I love writing I still am trying to figure out what career I want in writing. So y'all go watch this episode because this can apply to all of us. I'm behind and haven't reached this episode but when I get internet back I look forward to this. Thank you for making this episode. :3

that animated transition gave me chills so cool lol

Is that the same animator that did MaximilianDood’s intro?

Really needed to hear the final point to this video. Thanks Gaijin 👍

Thank you for making me cry so much. After hearing your speech about doing something to find something you love, I started crying. I feel like being in my 20sI haven’t done much of anything that I love doing. But this really inspired me to go out there and do something that I love. Seriously thank you so much.

Yay hell boy and usagi yojimbo was mentioned. This made my day thanks.

Thank you again for bringing me hope. Don't ever stop being a good human

Awesome video and all that but who did that stellar animation for the summoning?!

Man, I'm in my thirties and still floating down the river, so to speak. I got no clue.

Started watching this anime after your recommendation a few months back. Excellent series, hits on so many real world issues. Also on the note of KZfaq trends, I'm exhausted as an audience member of having what's "popular" being shoved down my throat. I, like many of us, am a geek who goes on the internet to get away from the "popular people." Media companies may want you to watch garbage content so you'll buy their stuff, but people who want TRUE content, we do the deep search, keep producing awesome content Gaijin!

And first episode of the series has finally arrived thanks goomba your the best person who teach up subcultured swine we are

The nuke kubi seems quite similar to the Penanggal in Southeast Asian folklore.

like i said earlier, it's been a pretty long while since i saw your stuff, and this episode really spoke to me, thanks for sharing, and i really liked the message. im a comic strip artist/short story writer on tapastic, and this was the message that i really needed to hear. thank you again

That just hit me right in the feels... Kudos!

The eye looked straight into my soul... and told me what I didn't but yet needed to hear

My goodness, I haven't watched this channel in a while, this was the first video I watched in a while, and I gained a good life lesson. Thank you for making this video.

That quote at 12:36 I can relate to I started game at around five years with some classics like doom, and soon I just became a great gamer and soon once I hit college I stopped and felt empty, and soon once I got back into video games I realised I love video games I didn't know it but when I was older I found out I love video games, this quote hits me right in the feels, and I hope this quote say's something for you to.

Loving this series thus far. I was wondering if you would consider taking about Sarazanmai as a look at kappa or just a general video if you find something else in the series. Would love to see someone else talk about it.

That is one reason I love your channel. I can tell you love what you do. I love mythology and you do. Find it cool how a cultures monsters are so similar but different at the same time and how they change through time and author. When I watch your videos I feel like I am getting to geek out with another mythology nerd.

The nukekube is similar to an aswang, a type of vampire that detaches its upper half and flies around at night

That intro is so good!

I love this anime and it was thanks to this channel I picked it up. For your Yokai watch will by chance be doing anything for October similar to the style of a night of 100 demons in telling some yokai myths or spooky stories?

When you mentioned Youkai Apartment i was surprised, I thought i was the only one who saw that show. Hope you do a vid about it some time, wanna hear your thoughts.

i have to say this was very helpful stuff gaijin thanks for making the vid

>When was the last time monsters was a trend Every time someone mentions Monmusu Season 2 rumors

I love this series!! I can't wait for you to talk about sarazanmai~

I watched gegege no kitaro when you first talk about and enjoyed but kinda grew out of it after the tanuki episode, dont know why but I stille njoy these videos keep up the awesome work

This anime .. hits in the feels more than I realized

I'm textless at what I just watched... Gaijin you've given me a lot to think on. Due to what happens, and is happening around me in my life right now. I do not know if what you've shown me was meant for me, or for me to help someone else in my life with as others in my life are also going through some hard times, and I hope I will be able to help them better thanks to you. Please keep doing what you love it is inspiring. From my life to yours, Thank you.

Gaijin you're content keeps getting better.

That awesome feeling when your favorite youtuber bring up two of your favorite comics Usagi Yojimbo and Hellboy

Loving the series so far, and I really need to get on the Kitarou boat; looks like a good time. :) Keep up the fun, Gaijin. God bless yours and you! :)

One addition to that sage advice that I learned in my own life. "Pay attention to the little thing because what you love to do might not be what you planned to do.". I work as a calibration technician calibrating test equipment. And I love it. I went to school for computer repair, the school had electronics attached. I fell in love with electronics and I calibrate electronic equipment among other things.

Wait! So Blind from Link to the Past was a Nukekubi?

Thank you Gaijin, I actually really needed to hear this today. You were exactly what I needed today, god bless you.

Another great video from Gegegejin Goombah
