Posted by Noon Anime Team on October 16, 2025
Hold onto your hats, anime fans, because a legendary comedy is crashing back onto our screens! You heard that right, the hilariously bizarre world of Motoei Shinzawa's High School! Kimengumi is getting a brand-new, modern TV anime remake! The classic gag manga that defined a generation of comedy is set to return this January, promising to bring its unique brand of high school absurdity to a whole new audience. Prepare for some serious side-splitting shenanigans!
As if a full remake wasn't exciting enough, the studio is assembling an absolute dream team of voice talent to bring the iconic "Oddball 5" to life! The cast is STACKED with modern legends, including the iconic Tomokazu Seki, the deep-voiced Shunsuke Takeuchi, the fan-favorite Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and rising stars Chiaki Kobayashi and Kikunosuke Toya. With this much talent in the recording booth, we can expect nothing less than comedic perfection and unforgettable performances!
For those new to the series, High School! Kimengumi follows the chaotic daily lives of the Kimengumi (Oddball Group), a gang of five high school misfits who are more interested in bizarre antics and being weird than studying. We're incredibly hyped to see how this "modern remake" will update the classic gags and character designs for today's viewers while staying true to the wonderfully weird heart of the original. Get your calendars ready, because the return of High School! Kimengumi this January is an event you won't want to miss!
