| This was fun. Teacher with supernatural abilities dealing with unusual events at school. For what's worth, this had a old school vibe with modern look in visual standards. Nube seems like a cool dude imo and some of students are introduced in this episode. There were definitely some goofy moments here and there. Nube's going to be busy for sure. |

| After almost 3 decades since the original Spring 1996 adaptation, mangaka Sho Makura's once-classic Weekly Shonen Jump veteran mainstay of the dark fantasy action series that is Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube, gets a split-cour remake courtesy of Studio Kai, and it looks just as good. After almost 30 years, veteran VA Ryoutaro Okiayu reprising his role as the titular Domori Elementary's Class 5-3 homeroom teacher of Meisuke "Nube" Nueno, who's quite the eccentric psychic teaching a new generation of children, some of which knowing his exorcist power, though it seems like a joke to the other children because he isn't that kind of character, which makes him less appealing to the school teacher Madoonna of Ritsuko Takahashi. This is especially poignant for the student of Hiroshi Tateno, whom yet another classmate of his, Kyoko Inaba, senses something wrong about him being possessed by a Yokai. Clearly, Nube is having some trouble with Hiroshi, and it doesn't take long for the exorcist to scout out a "tantrum worm" that hides the Yokai deep within Hiroshi that runs amok: the 99-Legged Bug. Alas, Kyoko getting caught up in the matter, until Nube makes his arrival known to Hiroshi and expel the Yokai out of him with his one-handed Oni arm, it's quite the exorcism of a job that forces Hiroshi to accept that Nube is the real thing. There's a bigger evil in store for Nube and his students though, that came for Hiroshi, what's his deal? Pretty solid start to a remake of a classic series! |

| Remakes these days really do try to modernize stuff, though yeah, this has as well with the smartphones and everything, but lol, those eyes were something else. Btw, I’d have reacted like that one kid Hiroshi as well if someone as eccentric as Nube came to teach me in elementary school. That guy still had his reasons so it is understandable, but yeah, going around claiming about your exorcism skills and whatever, which quite literally has nothing to do with the skills that a “teacher” should have… … can only get useful in the world of anime lol. Never watched the original so I don’t if they’re skipping stuff or it was mostly this serious even with sooo many kids around, but yeah, this remake with its first episode itself has proved that Nube is a first rate exorcist and this is the best this series would look, visually. Means yeah, it can go worse from here on, but won’t go to an upper scale. Passable start but yeah, how long until everyone knows the truth about Nube? xD Hoping we'd get OP and ED next episode. |
| At this point, it’s basically become a normal thing to get a remake of some old-ass animanga from the early days every season. This time around, it’s actually one I sort of remember fondly for once... fondly as in, I remember the basic premise and… that’s about it, because I barely even watched ten episodes, from what I recall lol. It wasn't bad per se, but like it wasn't something out of this world either. And even though I said above that I don’t remember much, I do at the very least remember that banger of a first episode… and uh, I REALLY don’t remember it being like this at all. They’ve completely changed the plot for… what exactly? The only reason I can maybe see for switching things up this much is because of how brutal some of those scenes were? But even then, maybe just tone those scenes down instead of changing the entire damn show? Though I guess it still gets the main premise across… even if it doesn’t make much sense, since we’re missing so much context about these characters for whatever reason. Though, if there’s one thing I can compliment here, it’d probably have to be that final fight. Yeah, it’s not how I remember it going down in the OG, but they really made our boy Nube look pretty friggin’ epic. The visuals were solid too, which is honestly the main reason I’m even here, considering the interesting staff lineup behind this. And for the most part, that showed during the final fight. Although, I expected more given how interesting that lineup is. It was above average sur. I’m still a bit disappointed in the adaptation approach they’re going with. But hey, if this is what the modern audience likes now, then... whatever. Anyway, the next episode already looks visually wild just from the post-credit scene. So yeah, as long as they keep up the visuals, I couldn’t care less what they do with the adaptation lol. |

| Twenty-Legged Insect: Nube is the only psychic teacher in Japan. They still have the usual introductions, like Inaba always being in the same class with Tateno and the others. Nube explains how to use the tablet; at this point, everything is still normal, just like a typical school genre. Until eventually, Tateno transforms into a youkai. At first, Tateno is unimpressed with the new teacher, Nube, until the teacher performs an exorcism on him because he has a youkai growing large that possesses his leg. It's interesting, but yahh... |
  |
| ofc coming out today its fucking nerfed... smh... yea its techincally not a "remake" but its still is on paper so.... yea.. the original is definitely gonna be better |
   |
| Good animation and good drawing in the first episode 🙏🙏 |
 |
| Literally punched the evil spirit out of Hiroshi. And people think teachers hitting their students is a bad thing smh. Basic, but decent start to this remake. Looks like it's going to be episodic monster of the week stuff for most parts with perhaps some little arcs here and there later down the line. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They made some changes to quickly move the plot along (Tamamo-sensei is in the first episode and he is already a doctor??? actually I'm so happy, he is my fav), the first opening reference almost made me cry, the style and animation are good overall. I really liked it. |
| Lucinda. Leo. INFJ. 1995. Chile. |
Dam those action scenes were smooth and atleast there is bloodshed which I thought they would not show much lol. This frame was so cool of nube 🔥👇🏻 |
| Feels old school. The world building specially. Reminds me of ghost stories, that was more secluded but this has similar vibes going for it. Nube seems like a fun character, somewhat similar to Onizuka. Also is that a ship I smell with the other sensei? All in for it. Simple story this episode but I liked it. Animation, visuals were neat. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| Kai has the same magic touch Toei had with the original. This adaptation already seems like it'll be perfect. God damn, I'm so fucking happy right now. 🥲 |
 |
| I’m not familiar with the original series, I actually hadn’t ever heard of it until I saw this on the list of summer shows coming out, but the concept and horror tag immediately hooked me so here I am lol, and this first episode kinda ripped. First off, Studio Kai has done a fantastic job on the production, it really has that classic anime look but feels new at the same time, and the animation during the battle with the 99-Legged Bug near the end looked very awesome, if we get more metal af scenes like that, I think we’re in for a good time. Now I heard they’ve skipped a lot here with introducing the villain we saw at the end very early, and that’s a shame and all, but I can at least say as someone new to the series, I think this first episode was pretty great and felt like it flowed well. And so far I’m liking Nube as a character, he has a good mix of serious, goofy and of course badass, almost hard to believe he’s an elementary school teacher lol, but I really like what they have going here with him, I’m looking forward to seeing how he helps his students going forward. And it’s also interesting to see the technology being upgraded since this was originally a 90s anime, I like that but at the same time I would have liked to see them try and be true to the 90s to really go with the old school anime vibe, no big deal tho. And lastly, it’s kinda cool watching this on a YouTube channel instead of the usual places I watch anime, there’s ads but it is a convenient place to watch, I’m not against the change. And since they went ahead and dropped two episodes today, I already have another to check out, epic! |

| @Mari_Max,are you watching this one? If you are I would like to hear what you think. |

@Mari_Max,are you watching this one? If you are I would like to hear what you think.
| @RainyEvenings yes i'am! Nube doesn’t mess around when it comes to protecting his students. That bug/worm got completely obliterated, and the ''Wolfman'' or ''foxman'' took a hit to the chest that finished him off. It’s a well-known series, and there’s even a drama adaptation. This is actually a remake of the 1996 anime (which had 49 episodes, some OVAs, a movie, and a few sequels). I’ve been hyped for it since last year because I really like this dark fantasy with horror vibe. The art style also has a cool retro feel to it. |
By the way, Kyouko’s look reminds me of Asuna from Negima! |

| i dunno about this one... i know there is a seriously old version of it... but... hmm... it is a little modernized with smartphones and tablets... but... i'm definitely getting the feeling this is a 90's "monster of the week" show and might be weak on the overarching plotline that is supposed to tie everything together. but that is just my impression of the 1st episode. visually it is nice. not horridly stuck in the 70's like Lupin... but Nube's hair is definitely giving off 90's male protagonist vibes. especially in profile and semi-profile camera angles on his face and head... the big pompadour 'blown out bangs' seem to appear now and again. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| I love that they put in a clip of Bari Bari Saikyou No. 1 at the start of the ep...I'd love it even more if they'd actually use the song for the OP, though 😅 |
| This was interesting and enjoyable. Pretty scary being possessed and hurting those around you when you don't mean it. Thankfully Nube was able to make the save until that doctor appeared, I had bad vibes about him. |

| Elementary schoolers sure are dealing with a lot this season, aren't they? Hiroshi's exorcism was a cool display of Nube's experience and was a sick showcase of his demonic arm, but above all, cracked me up way more than it was probably intended to. Bro had zero hesitation on delivering that body blow on a kid lmao |
| Como estás, Hiroshi? |

| @EcchiGodMamster It is not a remake, these "reboots/remakes" are just a new independent adaptation based on the manga of the same anime with no connections to the first anime. |
| Greatest shitposter under the heavens. Greatest anime tourist on the planet earth. |

| @jacobPOL Yes i know, it's NOTHING like the original so far, doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed in any way |
|
| I wasnt familiar with the original series so I watched first episode of that before this to get a better idea which I should watch and while the humor in the original was better in the into episode just a bit this wasn't bad either and this felt more creepy which works better for the themes. I feel this is better drawn and animated while still having a relatively older character designs aside from an outfit change. Though I still love some older anime light effects as better for some stuff. |

Facts. I don't know much about the Classic series of this but I hope he has a full demon form or something.
| @Apratim honestly the classic is great but the remake with it's dark serious animation and storyline makes me excited for what future episodes are gonna be like. |
| Good start , good animation quality so far! Decent OP. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Wow, this first episode was really good! And the reference to the opening of the old series was a nice touch |
  |
| now that's my sensei! badass NUBE!!! 5/5. |
 |
| I watched the original and I know it's gonna be episodic. Still, I like how they made this new adaptation have some oomph. I thought this might get boring, but no, it's a good watch. |
