Honestly, i miss the Sam, Grian, and Taurtis trio, I'd love if he made a return with them, cause coolment just ain't the same, would honestly love if they made up
They wont, from what i understand Sam was withholding payments from them for their part in YHS, or aomething to do with money and Grian and Joeyish had a massive falling out with Sam
You have no idea how much it means to me for someone to even acknowledge that YHS was a _thing._ I NEVER seen anyone talk about it and it is such a shame this series was a comedic _goldmine._
Its strange, because YHS back during its peak was consistently getting millions of views per episode (almost as much as Aphmau who I'm pretty sure was the most popular mcrp youtuber, they even collabed for a few episode of TS), meaning a good chunk of people who grew up in the minecraft youtube community have seen the series, but its almost as if the series and samgladiator don't exist to most of the minecraft youtube community despite how huge he was.
It really is strange. If I recall, Sam's Yandere RP was as popular as Aphmau's MCD, and she WAS the queen of minecraft roleplays back then. So it really is strange to see almost nobody talk about the series
Funny enough the yandere high series is how I discovered grian. A few months later, if found my first grian video. Been hooked on grian videos for years now.
watched this when it came out and then completely forgot about it until now and realising that my fav Minecraft youtube grain (for the last 4 years) was part of this was so shocking cause I did not remember him in it at all.
sam felt like he wasnt reading off a script and was like a minecraft lets play with a story attached. Like he and taurtis was playing a game so there commentary actually felt genuine.
(Long Comment Incoming!) I think the biggest reason why Sam's roleplays are the best is Sam is an actual actor in real life and his roleplays are mostly improv and Taurtis and Grian aren't told anything about what's going to happen in the episodes so their reactions are genuine. Also, I can relate to what you said at the end of the video and you thanking Sam, Taurtis, and Grian specifically reminded me that Sam hasn't been friends with Taurtis and Grian for over 7 years and because of that, I don't think Taurtis and Grian know just how important them being in this series means to people like yourself, which is kinda sad when you think about it. Finally, since you said part 3 of the series is going to talk about Sam's downfall, I think part 4 should talk about Sam's somewhat rise again that he's being having this year. Overall, this was a great video and I'm looking forward to see the next parts.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video! I always wondered if Sam told Taurtis and Grian what would happen and I'm not surprised he didn't. Their reactions are priceless.
The Yandere High and Tokyo Soul series meant so much to me. They still mean everything to me and I get so emotional thinking about how things changed over the years. I could go on for hours in depth about the character's and how they change throughout the series. Taking the new Yandere High series into account (it is canon to the original series, which we found out maybe 4 or 5 episodes in) you can REALLY see how Sam's character has changed since the begining of the original series. I won't be doing any character analysis videos myself as I am a viewer and not a content creator, but I would be very happy to talk about what I've noticed about Sam's character arc throughout the series. Sam's Yandere High series was and still is the most unique roleplay series I've EVER seen. I can't exactly put into words WHY it is, but it's pretty obvious just by watching it.
@@Silas_Part_1 I'll be honest I'm like. I feel like only bits and pieces of the original series' were canon. I cannot entirely figure out what though lol (we do know however that the original Yandere High was canon, or at least MOSTLY Canon due to Yuki's spirit and several comments made by Sam throughout the new series, but I haven't had any clues about Tokyo Soul yet aside from the newest episode (if you haven't seen the most recent episode I won't spoil too much, but the only clue for Tokyo Soul MAYBE being canon was the presence of Sam's old uniform from that season, which was a different color from Yandere High, but so far that's all)
@@Silas_Part_1 I do feel like Tokyo Soul IS at least somewhat canon. The ending certainly makes the new series actually feel possible (more specifically, if the ending of Tokyo Soul is canon, then the new series is less like a reboot and more of a continuation of the original, taking place after the universe resets, and Sam being the cause of it is the only one who remembers, but Yuki MIGHT remember because she was dead and haunting Sam the whole time, so she might have been watching everything go down in Tokyo Soul but this is my little theory thing I don't know)
im glad im not the only 18 year old that goes back to the series every year. Knowing im going to have an adult future ahead and so much happening in the next phew years of life being able to come back to this. Taurtis and sam shaped so much of my humor and personality. For the better not the psychotics parts. But im glad to know there are other people that have a shared experience with this and appreciation for the whole series. Im thankfull for the series and everyone involved.
I know, right? I am rewatching the original right now. My early middle-school/late elementary school memories just keep rushing in. I also plan on rewatching the Wynncraft series the FNAF stuff too. Makes me nostalgic, especially since Taurtis only updates once in a blue moon now.
Honestly I love the switch up arc with grian, taurtis, and "jerry". I love angst and it was so fun to watch Sam turn into a crazy person. I like how grian was still slightly affected by everything throughout the rest of the series but I wish he was more. I know that's how the series goes, something traumatic happens to someone and everyone just brushes over it but still I wish there was more angst.
still can't believe how long ago this series was. i used to be so obsessed with it and being so young i thought it was so cool and dramatic. Taurtis was definitely one of the best characters for me seeing as he always made me laugh throughout the episodes. the other characters that participate in this role play also make the series 10x better, related to this video so much and definitely brought a load of nostalgia
Unpopular opinion, but I liked the taurtis grian switch up arc, at least the first episode of it. I like dark themes as it adds a sense of realism, and I also liked how Okami and Rowan defended Grian, it made the series feel a lot more real. I think my least favorite part about the arc was how unaffected Grian was by it, but then and again you could say YHS is a comedy so it makes sense-ish. Yes, I am the type of person who will make their characters suffer.
I think that’s what makes it so effective… and alienates several groups. I have no doubt if this was played straight irl, it would be an excellent thriller series, but it’s in Minecraft so it kinda cuts the spread of it down a bunch.
Aphmau, ItsFunneh and Samgladiator bro 😭 I remember loving Yandere highschool roleplays so much I wanted to recreate those! MAN THE NOSTALGIA WAS SO MUCH!
I’m also 18 and this series mean a lot to me. I grew up with it when I was in 4th grade, I always came home from school and check if there’s a new video or rewatch videos that are already uploaded. I would binge it while doing my hw or playing games on my tablet or playing with my toys. I went back to watching Sam’s roleplays and I always get a feeling of nostalgia.
I usually did an annual re-binge of the entire series Yandere to Tokyo Soul. When the Yuki and Gareth callback happened recently I got all giddy that the new episodes are the same timeline. It's a strange but happy feeling not being able to binge all of the new episodes right now.
finally someone actually knows about how iconic and loved this series is! the amount of times i’ve rewatched this series over and over again just to find new hints or understand jokes now that im older is just crazy
Oh did anybody else watch the new series yet? Still going of course but watching it one of the newer episodes brought me back because for a moment you can see Sam's character (who is still very much hung up on the past but refusing to acknowledge it) stands in the middle of the road to look both ways for a moment before realizing his mistake and running back to look both ways properly, and I really liked that little detail there, because since the new series is canon to the original, then this would mean it likely hasn't been that long in-universe since the events of the original series (my guess is it's only been a year since everything happened in-universe, but if Tokyo Soul is still canon, which I'm not sure of yet, then we also have to take into account the multi-verse situation, but currently I am under the impression that Tokyo Soul isn't canon, at least not entirely)
@@mrwonderstudios6096 Well an easy way to explain that is that parts of the original series were not canon, my guess is Tokyo Soul is almost entirely not canon
I honestly remember watching this every day after school. I’d come home get a snack and watch the new upload. I had a friend who watched it as well, so the next day we’d talk about the episode together. It nice to actually see someone acknowledge this amazing story. It’s one of the reasons I adore roleplay and improv. Yandere High School and The World of Mianite were the two things that has always stuck with me and it always feels like no one remembers or knows of them. You definitely earned yourself a new subscriber.
I also had a friend who watched it with me. They were reluctant at first but then they watched the first video and fell in love. I'm also into improve.
I love the complete innocence of how this series began and overtime it becomes just so insane, but i think that's what made this series so unique (And correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't sam either the first/second creator to coin the phrase 'minecraft rp'?)
I know im late to this video but I LOVED The Kingdom of Valor series that Sam had with Grian and Taurtis. It was genuinely so funny and middle school me was distraught that it was never finished. That trio got me from theough middle school and I rewatched their video throughout highschool a lot, too
I seen a clip from insta of his content and it fully unlocked a part of my memories that I didn’t think I was gonna dredge up again, now I’m here watching a video essay on this guy.
Glad I'm not the only person who likes re watching this series every now and then. I love the synergy between the trio and the direction the arcs went were so good. The wackiness and the side characters really added to the charm of the series as a whole. Even Sam's descent into madness and all the characters not being fazed by the insane things going on around them added on to how messed up the world and some of the characters were, peak fiction frfr.
I actually made a whole playlist with the ENTIRE yandere high school like saga, because its summer break and I wanted to rewatch the old version of the series up to where we are in the reboot (because I like to think of the reboot being in like the future or something) I actually forgot about the series for a bit until I saw this video and remembered it lol, but yeah the yandere high school series was such a big part of my childhood, and I'm actually really happy is isn't like some of the older Minecraft roleplays, those are so hard to actually watch 😅 (also sorry for the long comment, this series is just super important to me + I accidentally tend to ramble a bit when I'm passionate about something.)
i used to be obsessed with this series when i was younger! i remember coming home after school and watching the episodes as they came out. i'm 21 now and i still go back to watch the series once in a while for the nostalgia. great video! :D
I think what added to the fear factor the series sometimes was the almost… too serene soundtrack in the background. There is a Guy swinging from a noose and calm music is playing. Two adolescents are stuck in a closet after breaking into someone’s house and calm music is playing. It makes everything so… creepy. As if this is something you should used to seeing.
Came across episode 3 randomly in my schools computer lab when my mom was working one day, and went home and watched it. I enjoyed it a lot, and the cross-dressing part was actually my first realization that that was something people could do, and led to me questioning my gender for the first time which kind of fucks me up to think about
I’ve been wanting to do an entire review of the series(the part that has kept me from doing it is rewatching the whole thing would take a lot of time), but after seeing your video I don’t think I can do the series justice like how you have. Great job on this video!
I randomly watched one episode back when it was being uploaded and then I binged to catch up. It was such a fun series to watch and I even watched his FNAF series, only those though. Many years later and now I watch Grian and it’s so odd yet fun seeing Grian take part in these role play videos. Dude I’m 19 and this series was so much to me as a kid. I remember coming home each time it uploaded to watch the new video. I remember the Yandere series finale in season 2 so vividly. I remember my reaction and my conflicted thought and sadness that my favorite role play series was over. I’m glad an hour longe video exists over this series.
i remember watching a random ep too it was that birthday spinoff episode and it appeared in my recommended which I never really watched any mc roleplays at all before at that point.
PLEASE YOU GOTTA DO TOKYO SOUL AND THE DOWNFALL - this is one of my fav roleplays when I was a kid and now I have SOME WAY of showing my friends this story instead of just my insane ramblings. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!! I can't wait for the tokyo soul one cuz the plot is absolutely insane ToT
Back in the day this series was the shit. Every day i came home from school and practically waited for a new episode. Much better times. Thanks for making this video. It makes me happy to see other people still remember this gem from time to time
Hello! One of sam's voice actors and builders here, I'm trying to do some outreach to the community and see what everyone would like in regards to content. Give me some Ideas, and I'll definitely make sure they're forwarded! Always a pleasure to be a part of this community, and it's a gift to be in a position where I can help improve it.
i’m turning 20 this year and i still rewatch this series at least once a year. i remember getting home from sixth grade and immediately going on the family computer to watch the new episode. i’m SO GLAD someone else has the same appreciation for sam’s content
So you're telling me I've known Grian since my childhood? Like I only remember watching Grian during quarantine and watching this video suddenly made me remember old memories I've forgotten 😭
“With there depressed teacher Gareth😄 he’s depressed because his wife left him!” WAS SO CASUAL LIKE HELLO, tbh i was watching his series at 9years old i have somehow gained snippets of sams personality and have had an oc that has similarities in personality that was SUPPOSED TO BE BASED OFF MINE AND DUE TO HIS NEW REBOOT IM LIKE REALIZING THAT (not the bad things im not like insane guys)
Love The video, I used to watch Sam's Videos as a kid not really understanding really what was going on all the time but I went back and rewatched this series and boi did I ever freak after seeing how dark it was. Still love the videos tho.
im actually so glad someone made a video about this series, it was basically what got me through seventh grade and was such a big piece of nostalgia but i never hear anyone talk about it, i really look forward to you covering the rest of the parts in the series if it interests you!
You know Sam actually started a reboot of YHS but it’s actually really good with a lot of references to og so I’m not sure to call it a reboot or a revamp but it’s actually really good and the snowman made a comeback ( not sure if that’s canon or not ) but yeah the reboot isn’t half bad it can’t compare to OG but we all know nothing they do and compare to that Hope you have a wonderful day/night
@@workinprogress1987 yeh there are a lot of references and same kinda humor you could tell they are having a blast with it and sometimes darker then og
@@jordanandrews216 are you talking about the “reboot” ( not sure if that should be called that since it seems it takes place after at least OG unless this was supposed to be after the first “ big reset of the multiverse” in Tokyo soul ) but we will cross the bridge on where the hell the “reboot” takes place in the timeline when we get to it
You literally have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to actually make a video about YHS, and it’s downfall. I loved these roleplays and the others the included Taurtis and Grian (best ones). Now with the recent YHS “reboot” he’s recently done doesn’t hit like it did all those years ago, because it didn’t have that structure of such a unique and solid story like the original. And frankly there’s no toritos 😔
I am also 18 and slightly fixated over Samgladiator!! I started rewatching him again a few months ago. I recommend you watch his reboot series of yandere simulator, it sadly doesn’t have Taurtis, but someone new! It’s the same school type roleplay but different lore!! Please watch it, I’m obsessed w it rn
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY IN MY BRAIN I remember staying up in elementary school at 3AM to watch these on my old Wii U. I totally forgot about these... I kept having flashbacks of doritos, women with beards, and aliens in minecraft and I was wondering what it was from. Thank you for this video.
I remember watching everything Sam uploaded, it was just so stupidly well written and great. I never got bored of them and I still remember it all. It's truly unfortunate how all things don't last forever...
I'm a brand new actor in Samgladiators new projects, and I gotta say he is still an amazing guy. We all have lots of fun and he still happily interacts with the community!
guys honestly, sam has been my favorite most consistent youtuber i've been watching since 2015 i've watches/used his videos as background to fall asleep. sometimes i couldnt go to sleep withotut one video playing. it takes me back to a simpler time in my life. thank you sam :)
best video btw, love the arcs. also rowan and okami were flirting in episodes when she was introduced then it switched to them randomly being married with silly as a kid
I just think my favorite part was Dom descending into madness and becoming a hilarious character. Also, I had no clue that others still thought about this show. Man I miss it
It's wild going back to some minecraft roleplayers like Gizzy who I really enjoyed when I was younger, only to realize how obnoxious those exact series that I enjoyed had now become obnoxious.
I started watching Yandere High School when I was 12 and have been totally in love with it since. Ive probably seen the whole series three times now. One of those times, I managed to convince an old girlfriend of mine to watch it with me, and she also ended up loving it, lol. The new stuff Sam has been doing with Coolment and Owl has also been pretty good, imo. Those two definitely add a lot of charm and personality to his roleplays. Great video btw! 👍
I can still remember coming home from school to watch new episodes of this. It was such an impactful part of my life growing up, and still holds a special place in my heart. I only wish we knew what really happened between Sam, Taurtis, and Grian, I really enjoyed their dynamics and the series was never the same with just sam
Sam, Grain and Taurtis best trio ever. I growed up Watching them the Yander High School is until this day, one of the best role-plays series I've seen.
Finally, someone understands how I feel about these Minecraft series I hope that you’ll talk about this one series called the haunted. I barely see anyone talking about it on RUclips and makes me so upset 😭
DUDE!!! I've been planning on making a retrospective about Yandere Highschool for literal years because I never thought anyone else would. I'm so happy someone else other than me cared enough to make a video about this series.
this RP series was easily my biggest influence when i was younger, and to this day i still watch grian bcos of it. its also done wonders for my art style as i would endlessly copy frames from that one animatic made for the series
Ive been in love with this series ever since i was young, this gives me so much whiplash seeing someone actually talking about it. Ive been apart of the fandom for YEARS but never seen a proper video!!
Smiling watching this☺️ Lemmie I literally just started re watching the series 3 days ago and this video brings me joy to watch to know a large amount of people still enjoy this series. I’m (20) and I’ve had a rough upbringing and still is tbh. I feel like this brought all types of people together.
It's very reassuring that I'm not alone with loving this serious. I thought I was crazy but all the nice comments prove that I'm not. I'm sorry to hear about your upbringing I hope it gets better
I never grew up watching them since my first language is not english. But i been bonded with this series after i became a close fan of Grian. I am really happy i did gave this series a chance to get to know Grian's youtube career. Almost getting ready to go to the university or college cannot stop the 18 year olds who have taste in good contents like this ❤❤
I watched this guys series while building my first major Minecraft city and was my inspiration for building it. Still watch it while making my newest city
This video made me feel so seen, like every single beat I remember even though I haven't rewatched the series in years. I'll really be looking out for that Tokyo Soul video whenever it comes out.
I completely forgot about samgaldiator, you just reopened a whole wave of nostalgia i had no idea existed. Let alone the taurtis, grian, and sam group lmao
Don’t remember if I comented when I first watched this video, but I just remember using the whole Sam character not as a basis but as an idea for my character I make in my roleplays with my friends (which have either ended or slowed down since 2019 probably due to both me and leader of our group constantly disagreeing with things and me lashing out and taking breaks [which is currently the case]) so seeings Sam’s character and how my character avoid certain wrong things that happen with his character and build off certain other aspects makes and made me love revisting this series. When I saw that there was a long 8 hour long video on Yandere HS reboot I was intrigued, watched it all, its not the same but I think I like it a bit better. I don’t know, I like psychotic characters espescially manipulative ones as it shows Sam has “grown” in a way after all these years. Plus animations like the orignal Wolf in Sheeps clothing and the new Lotta True Crime animation make the intriuge in the stories and the character dynamics make me so much more interested than I was as a kid, then again I was there for the humor and some story as a kid so long ramble over, great video bye bye.
This is pure nostalgia, I honestly thought that series was a weird dream that I just vividly remembered, also crazy that I watched this when i was like 8
this series changed my life, I rewatched it a lot and it means so much to me. this was one of the best minecraft trio and roleplays out there hands down. amazing video, and ty sam
God this brings back so many memories. I loved Samgladiator’s yandere highschool series as a kid, and I’m surprised to see just how many episodes there are
I miss these lot so much and im really upset they arent friends anymore but im glad sam is still doing the series and that there even linked in some aspects
The algorithm has blessed me today recommending me this video. I entirely forgot about SamGladiator after my middle school years. This has unlocked buried memories of talking to my first friend (Who looking back was kinda a little shit ngl) about YHS after I moved to a new district at the beginning of the 6th grade. I can’t remember exactly why I grew disinterested. I think it had to do with the “slow” upload schedule not giving me “moar videos NOW” and my attention drifted to more frequent posting youtubers, eventually pushing YHS from my conscious world.
Honestly, i miss the Sam, Grian, and Taurtis trio, I'd love if he made a return with them, cause coolment just ain't the same, would honestly love if they made up
I do too. They had amazing chemistry
I remember that one punch man space ship episode made my balls tingle
They won't, things were not good behind the scenes.
They wont, from what i understand Sam was withholding payments from them for their part in YHS, or aomething to do with money and Grian and Joeyish had a massive falling out with Sam
what happened?

Seeing Grian anywhere other than the life series or hermitcraft feels like a fever-dream to me.
Same energy as seeing your teacher at the supermarket
to be honest that was me but instead of it being hermitcraft it was with the series samgladiator made.

I know, right? I am rewatching the original right now. My early middle-school/late elementary school memories just keep rushing in. I also plan on rewatching the Wynncraft series the FNAF stuff too. Makes me nostalgic, especially since Taurtis only updates once in a blue moon now.

Fair opinion
Who'd knew the best murder mystery psychological thriller that showcases the slow descent of the protagonist's sanity is a minecraft roleplay
I think that’s what makes it so effective… and alienates several groups.
I have no doubt if this was played straight irl, it would be an excellent thriller series, but it’s in Minecraft so it kinda cuts the spread of it down a bunch.
Aphmau, ItsFunneh and Samgladiator bro 😭
I remember loving Yandere highschool roleplays so much I wanted to recreate those! MAN THE NOSTALGIA WAS SO MUCH!
You might be interested in checking out the reboot he has going on right now. The first couple of episodes suck but it gets really good after that.
It's true I did not like. the first few episodes, it was kind of annoying. But I have a feeling that the other characters will get Revived
I’m also 18 and this series mean a lot to me. I grew up with it when I was in 4th grade, I always came home from school and check if there’s a new video or rewatch videos that are already uploaded. I would binge it while doing my hw or playing games on my tablet or playing with my toys. I went back to watching Sam’s roleplays and I always get a feeling of nostalgia.
I usually did an annual re-binge of the entire series Yandere to Tokyo Soul. When the Yuki and Gareth callback happened recently I got all giddy that the new episodes are the same timeline. It's a strange but happy feeling not being able to binge all of the new episodes right now.
im literally in the middle of rewatching it too even though im 18 and i should be focusing on what i wanna do with my life too LMAOOO
finally someone actually knows about how iconic and loved this series is! the amount of times i’ve rewatched this series over and over again just to find new hints or understand jokes now that im older is just crazy
Oh did anybody else watch the new series yet? Still going of course but watching it one of the newer episodes brought me back because for a moment you can see Sam's character (who is still very much hung up on the past but refusing to acknowledge it) stands in the middle of the road to look both ways for a moment before realizing his mistake and running back to look both ways properly, and I really liked that little detail there, because since the new series is canon to the original, then this would mean it likely hasn't been that long in-universe since the events of the original series (my guess is it's only been a year since everything happened in-universe, but if Tokyo Soul is still canon, which I'm not sure of yet, then we also have to take into account the multi-verse situation, but currently I am under the impression that Tokyo Soul isn't canon, at least not entirely)
It still could be. Because we saw Jerry and Yuki kind of. Plus, the characters that had died already might come back to life.
@@mrwonderstudios6096 What do you mean about the last sentence?
@@ActuallyYoda69 I when that the characters are probably would come back to life. Like the first few episodes if you notice
@@mrwonderstudios6096 Well an easy way to explain that is that parts of the original series were not canon, my guess is Tokyo Soul is almost entirely not canon
I honestly remember watching this every day after school. I’d come home get a snack and watch the new upload. I had a friend who watched it as well, so the next day we’d talk about the episode together. It nice to actually see someone acknowledge this amazing story. It’s one of the reasons I adore roleplay and improv. Yandere High School and The World of Mianite were the two things that has always stuck with me and it always feels like no one remembers or knows of them. You definitely earned yourself a new subscriber.
I also had a friend who watched it with me. They were reluctant at first but then they watched the first video and fell in love. I'm also into improve.
I love the complete innocence of how this series began and overtime it becomes just so insane, but i think that's what made this series so unique (And correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't sam either the first/second creator to coin the phrase 'minecraft rp'?)
I know im late to this video but I LOVED The Kingdom of Valor series that Sam had with Grian and Taurtis. It was genuinely so funny and middle school me was distraught that it was never finished. That trio got me from theough middle school and I rewatched their video throughout highschool a lot, too
I seen a clip from insta of his content and it fully unlocked a part of my memories that I didn’t think I was gonna dredge up again, now I’m here watching a video essay on this guy.
"Thems was the days" is the right quote
Glad I'm not the only person who likes re watching this series every now and then. I love the synergy between the trio and the direction the arcs went were so good. The wackiness and the side characters really added to the charm of the series as a whole. Even Sam's descent into madness and all the characters not being fazed by the insane things going on around them added on to how messed up the world and some of the characters were, peak fiction frfr.
I actually made a whole playlist with the ENTIRE yandere high school like saga, because its summer break and I wanted to rewatch the old version of the series up to where we are in the reboot (because I like to think of the reboot being in like the future or something) I actually forgot about the series for a bit until I saw this video and remembered it lol, but yeah the yandere high school series was such a big part of my childhood, and I'm actually really happy is isn't like some of the older Minecraft roleplays, those are so hard to actually watch 😅 (also sorry for the long comment, this series is just super important to me + I accidentally tend to ramble a bit when I'm passionate about something.)
I love this series too!
i used to be obsessed with this series when i was younger! i remember coming home after school and watching the episodes as they came out. i'm 21 now and i still go back to watch the series once in a while for the nostalgia. great video! :D
Same here I’m 19 and I still go back and watch the series for nostalgia and because I mean it’s obviously like the funniest series ever
Sam's roleplays were the answer to "What if Minecraft roleplay was for older kids?" and it's genius
I think what added to the fear factor the series sometimes was the almost… too serene soundtrack in the background.
There is a Guy swinging from a noose and calm music is playing.
Two adolescents are stuck in a closet after breaking into someone’s house and calm music is playing.
It makes everything so… creepy. As if this is something you should used to seeing.
Came across episode 3 randomly in my schools computer lab when my mom was working one day, and went home and watched it. I enjoyed it a lot, and the cross-dressing part was actually my first realization that that was something people could do, and led to me questioning my gender for the first time which kind of fucks me up to think about
Biggest flex is I met Sam, Grian & Taurtis irl when they were still a trio and in their YHS prime.
I’ve been wanting to do an entire review of the series(the part that has kept me from doing it is rewatching the whole thing would take a lot of time), but after seeing your video I don’t think I can do the series justice like how you have. Great job on this video!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sorry I took your idea
I randomly watched one episode back when it was being uploaded and then I binged to catch up. It was such a fun series to watch and I even watched his FNAF series, only those though. Many years later and now I watch Grian and it’s so odd yet fun seeing Grian take part in these role play videos. Dude I’m 19 and this series was so much to me as a kid. I remember coming home each time it uploaded to watch the new video. I remember the Yandere series finale in season 2 so vividly. I remember my reaction and my conflicted thought and sadness that my favorite role play series was over. I’m glad an hour longe video exists over this series.
i remember watching a random ep too it was that birthday spinoff episode and it appeared in my recommended which I never really watched any mc roleplays at all before at that point.
PLEASE YOU GOTTA DO TOKYO SOUL AND THE DOWNFALL - this is one of my fav roleplays when I was a kid and now I have SOME WAY of showing my friends this story instead of just my insane ramblings. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!!
I can't wait for the tokyo soul one cuz the plot is absolutely insane ToT
Working on it!
@@workinprogress1987cant wait for the sequel!
I vaguely remember glossing over this series when I was younger. Probably going to check out out myself! And it’s so odd to see Grian in this setting.
It’s not often that I think back to watching this series as a kid, but when I do there’s definitely a smile on my face.
Back in the day this series was the shit.
Every day i came home from school and practically waited for a new episode. Much better times.
Thanks for making this video. It makes me happy to see other people still remember this gem from time to time
Hello! One of sam's voice actors and builders here, I'm trying to do some outreach to the community and see what everyone would like in regards to content. Give me some Ideas, and I'll definitely make sure they're forwarded! Always a pleasure to be a part of this community, and it's a gift to be in a position where I can help improve it.
i’m turning 20 this year and i still rewatch this series at least once a year. i remember getting home from sixth grade and immediately going on the family computer to watch the new episode. i’m SO GLAD someone else has the same appreciation for sam’s content
So you're telling me I've known Grian since my childhood? Like I only remember watching Grian during quarantine and watching this video suddenly made me remember old memories I've forgotten 😭
I really didn't think anybody else remembered Sam and his roleplays im glad to see alot of other people do
“With there depressed teacher Gareth😄 he’s depressed because his wife left him!” WAS SO CASUAL LIKE HELLO, tbh i was watching his series at 9years old i have somehow gained snippets of sams personality and have had an oc that has similarities in personality that was SUPPOSED TO BE BASED OFF MINE AND DUE TO HIS NEW REBOOT IM LIKE REALIZING THAT (not the bad things im not like insane guys)
Love The video, I used to watch Sam's Videos as a kid not really understanding really what was going on all the time but I went back and rewatched this series and boi did I ever freak after seeing how dark it was. Still love the videos tho.
I know right there are some really dark themes in the series
im actually so glad someone made a video about this series, it was basically what got me through seventh grade and was such a big piece of nostalgia but i never hear anyone talk about it, i really look forward to you covering the rest of the parts in the series if it interests you!
You know Sam actually started a reboot of YHS but it’s actually really good with a lot of references to og so I’m not sure to call it a reboot or a revamp but it’s actually really good and the snowman made a comeback ( not sure if that’s canon or not ) but yeah the reboot isn’t half bad it can’t compare to OG but we all know nothing they do and compare to that
Hope you have a wonderful day/night
I'll have to check it out
@@workinprogress1987 yeh there are a lot of references and same kinda humor you could tell they are having a blast with it and sometimes darker then og
@@workinprogress1987did you check it out yet
yh it's a sequel since some old characters kinda returned or are referenced it's pretty good tho the original is the best
@@jordanandrews216 are you talking about the “reboot” ( not sure if that should be called that since it seems it takes place after at least OG unless this was supposed to be after the first “ big reset of the multiverse” in Tokyo soul ) but we will cross the bridge on where the hell the “reboot” takes place in the timeline when we get to it
You literally have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to actually make a video about YHS, and it’s downfall. I loved these roleplays and the others the included Taurtis and Grian (best ones). Now with the recent YHS “reboot” he’s recently done doesn’t hit like it did all those years ago, because it didn’t have that structure of such a unique and solid story like the original. And frankly there’s no toritos 😔
I am also 18 and slightly fixated over Samgladiator!! I started rewatching him again a few months ago. I recommend you watch his reboot series of yandere simulator, it sadly doesn’t have Taurtis, but someone new! It’s the same school type roleplay but different lore!! Please watch it, I’m obsessed w it rn
Tbh to me it’s a lot different from the older series and I can appreciate the new series for what it is but the older one will just be better to me
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY IN MY BRAIN
I remember staying up in elementary school at 3AM to watch these on my old Wii U. I totally forgot about these... I kept having flashbacks of doritos, women with beards, and aliens in minecraft and I was wondering what it was from. Thank you for this video.
Bro, i recommend watching CHAOS CHAOS, they make yhs animations base on the series
Chaos also has a character in the new series
dude started revisiting the series since yesterday and i truly missed ts im gonna revist ts video when i finish
I remember watching everything Sam uploaded, it was just so stupidly well written and great. I never got bored of them and I still remember it all. It's truly unfortunate how all things don't last forever...
I'm a brand new actor in Samgladiators new projects, and I gotta say he is still an amazing guy. We all have lots of fun and he still happily interacts with the community!
I love the samgladiator yandere Minecraft series too omg , actively watching it rn
It's literally the best ever
guys honestly, sam has been my favorite most consistent youtuber i've been watching since 2015 i've watches/used his videos as background to fall asleep. sometimes i couldnt go to sleep withotut one video playing. it takes me back to a simpler time in my life. thank you sam :)
best video btw, love the arcs. also rowan and okami were flirting in episodes when she was introduced then it switched to them randomly being married with silly as a kid
I was there when he did the Yandere series, lmao. It's also how I found Grian.
Same
I watched sam's yandere simulator after I caught up on minecraft diaries and OMG dude I miss it
I just think my favorite part was Dom descending into madness and becoming a hilarious character.
Also, I had no clue that others still thought about this show. Man I miss it
S tier video, literal masterpiece on my lunchbreak
Thank you for resurrecting this awfully specific and obscure nostalgia
You’re a S viewer. Thanks for the kind words.
It's wild going back to some minecraft roleplayers like Gizzy who I really enjoyed when I was younger, only to realize how obnoxious those exact series that I enjoyed had now become obnoxious.
I started watching Yandere High School when I was 12 and have been totally in love with it since. Ive probably seen the whole series three times now. One of those times, I managed to convince an old girlfriend of mine to watch it with me, and she also ended up loving it, lol. The new stuff Sam has been doing with Coolment and Owl has also been pretty good, imo. Those two definitely add a lot of charm and personality to his roleplays. Great video btw! 👍
Glad to see Grian as peak male performance as always
I can still remember coming home from school to watch new episodes of this. It was such an impactful part of my life growing up, and still holds a special place in my heart. I only wish we knew what really happened between Sam, Taurtis, and Grian, I really enjoyed their dynamics and the series was never the same with just sam
one of the funnier minecraft roleplays. Sam becomes a deranged maniac that really pissed me off but everything else is pog
I love that he brought it back so much nostalgia it’s been good so far
Sam, Grain and Taurtis best trio ever. I growed up Watching them the Yander High School is until this day, one of the best role-plays series I've seen.
I haven’t thought about this since I was like eight… watching this makes me realize how much of this series went over my head 😭😭
Finally, someone understands how I feel about these Minecraft series I hope that you’ll talk about this one series called the haunted. I barely see anyone talking about it on RUclips and makes me so upset 😭
DUDE!!! I've been planning on making a retrospective about Yandere Highschool for literal years because I never thought anyone else would. I'm so happy someone else other than me cared enough to make a video about this series.
What really brings me nostalgia is rewatching SGC Barbarians The Crafting Dead series and Cavemanfilms Fnaf Roleplay Series
I found Grian and Sircutieyuki through Sam and they are some of my favorite minecraft youtubers ever I hope Sam is doing good wherever he is now
So glad I wasnt the only one who watched him back then!
this RP series was easily my biggest influence when i was younger, and to this day i still watch grian bcos of it. its also done wonders for my art style as i would endlessly copy frames from that one animatic made for the series
Ive been in love with this series ever since i was young, this gives me so much whiplash seeing someone actually talking about it. Ive been apart of the fandom for YEARS but never seen a proper video!!
Smiling watching this☺️ Lemmie I literally just started re watching the series 3 days ago and this video brings me joy to watch to know a large amount of people still enjoy this series. I’m (20) and I’ve had a rough upbringing and still is tbh. I feel like this brought all types of people together.
It's very reassuring that I'm not alone with loving this serious. I thought I was crazy but all the nice comments prove that I'm not. I'm sorry to hear about your upbringing I hope it gets better
as you described the episodes, i got so many memory flash backs
My childhood. I also literally rewatched his old videos a year ago, they’re still entertaining to this day.
a minecraft youtuber from my childhood who i loved and didn't turn out to be a monster? i'm genuinely shocked
I never grew up watching them since my first language is not english. But i been bonded with this series after i became a close fan of Grian. I am really happy i did gave this series a chance to get to know Grian's youtube career. Almost getting ready to go to the university or college cannot stop the 18 year olds who have taste in good contents like this ❤❤
I can't tell you how many times I've cried while watching Yandere Highschool and Tokyo Soul.
17 times
I watched this guys series while building my first major Minecraft city and was my inspiration for building it. Still watch it while making my newest city
used to binge watch these, hell yeah man
Dark humor’s what got me hooked lol
core childhood memory. loved this series when i was younger.
This video made me feel so seen, like every single beat I remember even though I haven't rewatched the series in years. I'll really be looking out for that Tokyo Soul video whenever it comes out.
I completely forgot about samgaldiator, you just reopened a whole wave of nostalgia i had no idea existed. Let alone the taurtis, grian, and sam group lmao
Man i remember watching this after my first day of school and got invested into the series
Don’t remember if I comented when I first watched this video, but I just remember using the whole Sam character not as a basis but as an idea for my character I make in my roleplays with my friends (which have either ended or slowed down since 2019 probably due to both me and leader of our group constantly disagreeing with things and me lashing out and taking breaks [which is currently the case]) so seeings Sam’s character and how my character avoid certain wrong things that happen with his character and build off certain other aspects makes and made me love revisting this series. When I saw that there was a long 8 hour long video on Yandere HS reboot I was intrigued, watched it all, its not the same but I think I like it a bit better. I don’t know, I like psychotic characters espescially manipulative ones as it shows Sam has “grown” in a way after all these years. Plus animations like the orignal Wolf in Sheeps clothing and the new Lotta True Crime animation make the intriuge in the stories and the character dynamics make me so much more interested than I was as a kid, then again I was there for the humor and some story as a kid so long ramble over, great video bye bye.
This is pure nostalgia, I honestly thought that series was a weird dream that I just vividly remembered, also crazy that I watched this when i was like 8
this series changed my life, I rewatched it a lot and it means so much to me. this was one of the best minecraft trio and roleplays out there hands down. amazing video, and ty sam
I’m 16 and constantly going back whenever I get stressed. Samgladiator is literally the best RUclipsr I’ve ever seen.
Bro this is so nostalgic for me I loved watching Sam's rps as a kid and rewatching them now I still feel the same
God this brings back so many memories. I loved Samgladiator’s yandere highschool series as a kid, and I’m surprised to see just how many episodes there are
I miss these lot so much and im really upset they arent friends anymore but im glad sam is still doing the series and that there even linked in some aspects
The algorithm has blessed me today recommending me this video. I entirely forgot about SamGladiator after my middle school years. This has unlocked buried memories of talking to my first friend (Who looking back was kinda a little shit ngl) about YHS after I moved to a new district at the beginning of the 6th grade. I can’t remember exactly why I grew disinterested. I think it had to do with the “slow” upload schedule not giving me “moar videos NOW” and my attention drifted to more frequent posting youtubers, eventually pushing YHS from my conscious world.
I’m 19 now and I decided to rewatch Yhs last year, glad I’m not the only one that chose to rewatch the series. It’s incredibly nostalgic for me.
Same its so nostalgic
I use to go crazy for Samgladiator yandere series, this really gave me a wave a nostalgia. Thanks for highlighting this show again
Im not even 9 full minutes into this video and i DO NOT remember this series being so chaotic 💀💀
an hour long video essay about an mcyt roleplayer?? oh yes please, my two current obessions in one
