Did anyone notice I wore almost the same suit as Principal Takenaka? Totally unintentional! 😂
What a coincidence 😅
So awesome ! 😁
The fact that you're even watching Yu Yu Hakusho blows my mind.
Thanks! I wouldn’t have known about this show if it weren’t for the viewers - I recently filmed my reaction to episode 3 - will publish soon! 👍
This is a certified hood classic!
Lol ! 😂
I’m from North Dakota and it’s also a suburban classic! 😅
@@abducteeofearth1703 Lol 😂
I discovered this anime while I was in high school. Was going through a tough time during that time and the show really hit me in the feels and was really entertaining. I remember watching episodes while finishing up homework or working on projects
Some anime can be like that I didn't quit and succeed in certain project thanks to constantly hearing Naruto and Asta say Don't give up! Don't quit!
I found out about Yu Yu Hakusho when I was in high school in like 2015-2016. I saw the first episode and I was hooked. Really great anime.
👍
Wow that’s about the same time I got into it after seeing an episode or two on Toonami years back
Been watching it since it first aired on Toonami in 2003
@@KNinetales Wow!
Kids often hang out in school during the school day because their home life is terrible, they don't want to be home, they don't want to be in class, but they can't be outside of the school without being harassed either. So they're in school, probably with friends, not having cops or anyone called on them, and not having to deal with everything going on at home.
I’ve seen a few cases of this. Unfortunately they end up getting “bothered” by the school at that point because they’re required to be in class.
Thank you, youtube algorithm for pushing this video to me.
Thanks for watching! I just filmed my reaction to episode 3 last night and it was crazy! 😂
If you’re interested in anime, Assassination Classroom has some education-focused episodes. Japanese schools are a completely different world, though.
I will check it out!
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts
Seconded! That whole series is about how peoples school experiences can drastically change the course of their lives. Students and teachers included. I think you'd really like that one!
Si esta interesado en animes de maestros tal vez deberia ver Great Teacher Onizuka😂
I third this anime! You will adore it! 😊
Thanks 😊
Well at least he scolded a little kid, saying it’s dangerous to play on the street and saved him. He even say at least I can make kids laugh.
Yes 😂
Please continue this reaction it’s a great show.
Thanks! Episode 3 coming soon! 😀
They hide out in or around the school because they need somewhere to be for 8 hours and the school is warm. I was one of those kids but I was smart enough to skip a few lessons. I passed every test and got a scholarship. Messed that up helping my sister 😂
I'm kind of hoping he would react to the whole funeral scene the principal saying his regrets and how he wanted to help yusuke while the other teacher was just talking smack at his funeral and the principal was having none of it
Is that in episode 2?
No, it was the later part of the first episode. He said he cut it due to his channels focus on school.
I found some more school related episodes from some my shows.
First off there’s Static Shock episodes: 1, 3, 6, 13, 22, 24, and 36.
Then Yugioh Gx episodes: 1-4, 9, 12, 15, and 35
And the 2003 Teen Titans series episodes: 10, 19, and 27
Lemme know if you have any questions about the episode details
Thanks 😊
These are good suggestions!
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts And remember, when there's trouble you know who to call, Teen Titans!!!
@@hankthetank8039I thought it was Ghost Busters! 😂
I recommended Card Captor Sakura to him, easily more than half of the anime takes place showing what schools are like in Japan.
Woaaaah! You’re getting into anime! I haven’t seen this one lol but your video is making me want to catch it hahaha. Keep it up!
Yes! I’m not a big anime fan, but many of my subscribers are, and I try and take viewer recommendations. Thanks! 👍
you should definitely the whole series; it's amazing
@kathrynkelly454
Exactly, especially in English.
1:47 That's for the best, the openings and endings tend to be from established artist in the music industry. In other words, very quick way to get a copyright strike from their record labels.
Edit: Since this takes place around the early 90s and/or late 80s, I believe giving disaplinary actions like beating was still allowed in Japan. Also I believe in the manga Yusuke had cigarettes instead of gum, but broadcasting standards don't allow for depictions of underaged smoking. Another important bit they left out is that Yusuke's mother had him at about 13 or 14, and was either implied or explicitly stated that she works as a pr*stitute. So yeah, a much more unstable household than what is shown in the anime.
the anime also leaves out what little we know about Yusuke's father....
Those kinds of male uniforms are real. But you are right, they are military "inspired". Gotta remember Japan used to have a pretty militaristic culture.
That makes sense… 👍
I enjoyed this reaction more than I thought. There are other old anime and new ones with school involved or even the school as the main point of the story but some tend to go towards to the ecchi genre these days.
Cool. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I just finished filming episode three’s reaction, it was really crazy. 😝
Haha school anime can be quite crazy. Sometimes with it starts with studying and goes to killing outversal to boundless beings in the next episode.@@SchoolPrincipalReacts
I've heard the first episode called "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "21 Jump Street".
this was shared in a YYH fan group; hopefully will get some views for you ^-^
Thanks so much! 😎😂👍
yeah, this anime is a product of its time. i don't have all the facts, but somewhere around the 1980 to early 1990 there was apparently a real issue with teachers using "discipline" as an excuse to be borderline abusive in their practices in japan, and the type of punk counter culture that developed because of it that urameshi is a part of. after all, if the place that is supposed to educated you treats you like trash and a waste of time, no matter what you do, why even bother going? if you look back, there are actually quite a few manga and anime of the time that tackle the same issue, like GTO (great teacher onizuka) for example. although i don't think that one would be quite your cup of tea. it's pg13+ and pretty horny, especially early on, and focuses more on very unorthodox teaching methods. then again, it does portray a unique point of view from a person who was a victim of the failed education system, finding himself being part of the same system.
Thanks for the added historical context.
Interesting, thanks!
Not just Japan. I'm from North Dakota, and teachers have inappropriately berated students and even threw them against lockers with no repercussions. This was in the early 2000s.
I think you'll find episode 3 of Yu Yu Hakusho interesting as a principal.
I just filmed it!!!!! It was super crazy 😂😂😂😂😂
You’ll see it in a couple of weeks after editing and upload. 👍
I would love you to react to the show as told by Ginger.
I would recommend the episode, Of Lice and Friends
You should check out the episode Skooled from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.
Thanks
Oh gosh. That one is a trip lol. I totally forgot about that "teacher..."
@@sad_doggo2504 Yes! Both teachers in the episode were insane lol. They would both be fired along with probably Takenaka lol. 😂
As far as I know… Japanese school uniforms are navy style. That’s why Keiko and Yusuke are dressed like that. I’ve seen military schools here in the U.S with a somewhat similar uniform
Makes sense…… in the U.S. if a school has a “uniform” it’s usually just khakis and a polo shirt. I haven’t seen a navy-style uniform here, but I’m sure it exists somewhere! 😂
I forget how much of the show revolves around the school, but it is definitely a first season thing. I don't remember if there's many school scenes in episode 2, but you should definitely react to episode 3.
Yes, I sure will! 😀👍
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts
The show gets crazy and upload a secondary reaction to the first ep.
Thie is only the beginning.
Just had to go back seeing the title of your latest video in my recommended feed. My favorite anime of all times and a principle reacting of all things? I'm locked in now.
Thanks for watching!
@SchoolPrincipalReacts I will say I am sad you didn't comment on the principal's lines during the wake. The idea of teachers talking trash during a "problem students" wake is messed up but I also understand it's not within your area of expertise lol. That scene saved my life before so all I'm happy about us you checking it out in anyway shape or form lol
0:03 Those dance moves though 😅😅😅😅
I never seen this show before, but anime in general is pretty good. I particularly love The Cat Returns, Wolf Children, Pokemon, and Wolf's Rain.
I haven't seen WR in such a loooong time, gotta rewatch it now XD
I enjoyed that. I have a lot of nostalgia for this show, because I used to watch it when I was in secondary school.
I always thought the jacket looking thing that theirs wore in this episode were blazers. Blazers are common in school uniforms in the U.K..
I was looking forward to you reacting to the wake. All of the people from school come by, so it could fit into your remit.
Most anime are about teenagers, so hopefully, you can find some other shows that you’d enjoy reacting to.
Thanks! 🇬🇧
?!?! You're reacting to this show now? I never thought you would react Yu Yu Hakusho, I just figured you never react anime. Or something like that.
It was a viewer recommendation! 😎👍
Anime heavily tends to center around school-related stuff, and not just "Dragon Ball Z". Handa-kun is one recent example, ReLIFE is another. Even Korean dramas also center around school themes. "Playful Kiss" is one I can name off the top of my head from Korea, even though its based on a manga from Japan, from around the same time Yu-Yu Hakusho came out, also in manga form.
Thanks!
So I've been watching this show since I was in elementary school. I'm now nearly 30 and it's still one of my favorites.
Great video thus far, but I think there are some cultural things that we as Americans just brush aside that actually bear much more importance in Japanese culture. Being class rep is one of those things. Considering they make students clean up classrooms daily, including things like the chalk erasers, i totally believe Keiko would have gotten repremanded for her fellow classmate not showing up.
I used to have tea and baked goods every friday with my principal and a small group of other students. Only those that were in the know had any idea it would even happened. One of my favorite memories.
Wow, that’s really cool!
Every time Yusuke tries to chew a piece of gum, it's censoring he was trying to light up a cigarette
Ahhhh ok interesting!
This anime is amazing and gets better and better and more deeper.
Keep watching.
The VAs are funny and give it their all!
Thanks 😊 😆👍
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts
Yw
This might be my favorite anime of all time.
Cool! 👍
Same
Another good show from back in the day was Big Time Rush and the episode Big Time School Of Rocque is a good episode to react to
Thanks!
Another series episode probably worth looking into would be Battle for Dream Island S1E3 - "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball", in which characters are given worksheets to fill out, though that doesn't begin to happen until around 2 minutes and 50 seconds into the episode. Other than that, the rest of BFDI generally has nothing to do with education.
For some context, BFDI is an animated web series by the RUclips channel jacknjellify in which anthropomorphic objects compete in a series of contests for a prize. (in the case of the first season, an island resort called Dream Island, hence the name) After each competition, viewers were instructed to vote on which member of the losing team would be eliminated (similar to how it works in shows like Survivor or Total Drama Island) and the results were subsequently revealed at the beginning of the next episode.
There are the EXIT scenes too!
Anime's typically take place in Japan, so you'll usually see Japanese everything
True, especially the names.
Your video got me curious about corporal punishment in Japan, so I looked it up. While most states in the US banned it before 2000, Japan didn't ban it completely until 2020. It was supposedly banned in schools back in 1947, but apparently this ban was not taken seriously.
It was commonplace even as recently as 2010. Yu Yu Hakusho was first published in 1990, and according to a poll conducted by the Nichi Bei Times paper in 1987, 60% of junior high school teachers that year believed corporal punishment to be "necessary."
Also, Japanese school uniforms were based on German infantry uniforms for the boys and German naval outfits for the girls, so you were on point when you said they looked military.
America never banned it, and schools still do it today in some places. Interesting though.
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts Wow, you're right. It's still legal in 17 states, including mine! Here in NC, the districts have all banned it, luckily. I edited my original comment to fix it. I don't know why the search engine spit out that date. I should have double-checked that part, too.
5:13 I think a few motives I’ve heard of are managing a top-secret black market-like facility (such as the one in the bathroom stall from The Simpsons) or simply trying to avoid getting caught if suspended or expelled. These aren’t the most common, but they’re the ones I know best.
Schools in Japan are super strict, and especially in the 90s I wouldn't be surprised by any of the things the teachers do here. And they absolutely do gaslight good students into feeling bad about the less fortunate students.
@SchoolPrincipleReacts I think you would enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho. It's a good series.
There are some other anime series that definitely has more of a school atmosphere.
Keiko's friends talking about how yusuke "k!ll$ for fun" actually resonates with me. I was bullied through all of elementary school and most of my 7th grade year until someone actually punched me and i retaliated at a multi-school event. Fast forward 3 years when I was a sophomore in highschool and someone recognized me from the incident. He immediately started going off about how i smashed a chair over the kid's head when the reality was that i only punched him twice. Funny enough, the worst rumor came when my brother went to the same event and his classmates told him about how they heard from "a reliable source" that i k!lled the kid and that i was in jail. Rumors get out of hand very quickly.
Lucky Star is a great slice-of-life anime; nearly all the episodes revolve around the school, and even the ones that take place outside of the classroom often involve the teachers
Scrolled a bit and didn't see this mentioned: the gum was actually a cigarette in the manga, very confusing as a child to see Keiko and Takenaka not let Yusuke have some gum
Once you get deep into this series, it gets really dark......But totally unrelated to school.
I still love the yu yu hashko show growing up I use to watch it late night on adult swim. I’m a big anime fan of dragon ball z inuyasha Pokémon so I love your reaction to this show!!
Thanks! Look for a new one tomorrow!👍
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts ok cool I can’t wait til check out episode 2 of the yu yu Hakusho.
Wish you would’ve commented on what the teachers said at the funeral 😢 they are downright sad and disgusting 😢
I left my High School once because I thought it was after sixth period and I missed the bus!! So I tried to walk home, but I missed my turn and had to call my father and my grandfather because I stopped at a cab company!! But I later found that I left after fifth period ended and THAT'S why the busses weren't there!! 😂😂 I know, I'm a goof!! 😂😂
16:48 After looking at pictures of Japanese uniforms, I can confirm that those look a lot like regular school uniforms. Military uniforms are more often green than blue.
6:40 the concept is more so to display that, the actions of the class is the responsibility of the class representative, just like with any team or group, when one player screws up, it makes the team look bad and the leader needs to correct that whether it be by setting a better example themself or by force/punishment. She may not have the capacity to enforce the rules with certain classmates like yusuke but then at that point the administration understands that she’s not a bad farmer, he’s just a bad apple
But of course we know there’s a lot more behind that grouchy look yusuke gives everyone
This episode originally aired in Japanese language in October 1992, before we had access to the internet.
I am shocked to see the principal resorting to physical actions (e.g. ear pulling) on the minor student. However in episode 3, the principal is more refined.
On the other hand, there is no channel like you who make educational reaction videos, who educates and explain about their experiences.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍
I think the public announcements that summon a student to the office have been phased out in favor of paper slips delivered to the classrooms.
This was written and produced in Japan in the early '90s. Although corporal punishment had been illegal since the mid-1900s, it was still quite prevalent at that time.
Wow 😮
Darn, you missed the best part; the funeral. I don’t know a single person who didn’t cry or get choked up by that scene.
Great video!
Thanks 😊
Its not necessarily school related, but it involves 2 teachers and the principle at his funeral. It would have been cool to get your opinion on that. Its in this episode if I remember correctly.
Actually in Japan going to the roof is forbidden and most of the time the door is closed
I have the same questions as you about how he’s even enrolled if he’s a known serial killer. He should probably be in some kind of education program administered by the prison or some other legal system. I’ve seen JJAEP before, but I don’t know how they handle this in Japan.
Principal Takenaka does seem to care about Yusuke. Tbh I would never endorse hitting a student but that school is so violent, everyone just seems to communicate by throwing punches lol. Needs a maaaaaajor overhaul in policy if you ask me.
Yes!!!! 😂
I think it's a thing few may notice, even though Takenaka has good intentions he is undermining his efforts by getting physical.
This episode shows there are a variety of ways Yusuke is being failed by his school.
He doesn't kill for fun and actually helps people its more he beats up bad people and others pick fights with him a lot because hes the strongest if i beat him up ill be the best he even helped his so called rival so called by said rival but to yusuke hes not a actual rival
I haven't looked at his reaction list, but anyone else agree Great Teacher Onizuka would be interesting to react to.
I will jot it down! 👍
Iwamoto and Akashi are the worst types of teachers; you'll meet them later
Yes!!!!! They were horrible in episode 3! 😂
It would be interesting to do a commentary on a circumculum masters versus a teaching masters in education, through your experience.
Awww you didnt finish the episode. The latter half really does show a lot of these characters in a better light
5:22 family issues, they are at school so aren't lying when asked where they where all day, participanting is not apart of their agenda.
13:25 and thats why American Kids still act like kids, they were never taught how too be treated as adults.....
Do one on the prurd family
A very good one you could watch is Card Captor Sakura (japanease version with subtitles pls, unfortunately the dubbing isn't good and they changed a lot of things when it went to America, like the order of the episodes and cutting episodes), more than half of CCS takes place on a day-to-day normal Japanese school and he touches on very delicate topics such as a romantic relationship between an adult teacher and a student.
Thanks
1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH
A good series for an educator would be GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
Got it!
Yusuke = ichigo
Botan = Rukia
Kuwabara = renji
Kurama and hiei = uryu and Chad
Keiko....no she's not some god defying super being like Orihime also keiko doesn't scream SAVE ME SAVE ME all the time.
The creator of yu yu hakesho got married to the creator of sailor moon and the Creator of sailor moon did some shading for hunter x Hunter manga which is the same creator of yu yu hakesho and sailor moon the fans call her dumb but she got into one of the top schools in Japan and with how they grade things and everyone else being way smarter then her she's going to look dumb in comparison it's like putting Albert Einstein in a room filled with everyone else being brainic hes smart to us but dumb to them
Interesting!
If you react to movies I want to hear your input on a movie Called Middle school the worst years of my life.
Teachers and principal definitely shouldn’t hit students. But are they allowed to defend themselves? I heard about a teacher taken a phone away from a teenage student and she pepper sprayed him in his eyes, twice I think. Another instance, probably an elementary school or middle school, a teacher took a student’s Nintendo Switch away and he stated beating her on the ground. Would they have been allowed to defend themselves, or would that be a firing? Would the students not get in that much trouble?
Teachers (along with everyone) have the right to defend themselves. A lot of people get confused though about what “defending yourself” actually means. If you’re a teacher or principal, and you get attacked, you can use physical force to defend yourself and get the person off you. If they are no longer attacking you, it doesn’t mean you can turn around and attack them back. It’s helpful to be aware of how things will be perceived when they are investigated afterwards, too, and how they will look on camera. 👍
Classroom of the elite would be awesome for you to watch
There are not many episodes in this show involving school, so I'm not sure if you should watch the whole thing.
I won’t watch the whole thing, just the couple that were recommended. 👍
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts i see
Also in Japan things are very different. Not the good kind of different either
I see!
You should watch the original japanese dubbed with english subtitles. Sounds more authentic and less censored with their original voices
No 😂
They sound flat in the original
