Pony Canyon headed back to the 1980s with the announcement of two Blu-ray box sets for the High School! Kimengumi anime series back in 2017, which was the last time this property got some attention. The eighty-six-episode anime series saw streaming through It’s Anime on YouTube last year to get folks interested in the original ahead of the new version that came out recently.
Now, the original series has made its way to Tubi, where you can find it here in its original Japanese language with English subtitles. So far, the first sixty-five episodes of the run have been added, with the rest to come later.
Directed by Hiroshi Fukutomi, the series had Hatsuki Tsuji and Hiroshi Kanezawa on board with the character designs with Studio Comet handling the animation production. The Japanese cast includes Issei Futamata as Kiyoshi, Kaneto Shiozawa as Dai Monoboshi, Naoki Tatsuta as Jin Daima, Shigeru Chiba as Rei Ichido, and Tesshō Genda as Gō Reietsu.
Plot Concept: This is the story of five students who make up a crazy and unique group (the gang of the funny faces) and, in an incredible twist of luck, they befriend the cutest girl in school. Of course, they will enter into competition with many groups in their school, where teachers are tricky and sometimes clueless, where they can still defy the laws of nature to win sports tournaments and where you can still be childish. Anything could happen in this high school.
