The voice cast is absolutely stacked with legends—names like Tomokazu Sugita, Yui Horie, and Yoko Hikasa immediately signal this is a high-profile production. Classic manga getting modern adaptations is always cool; bringing older series to new audiences with updated animation keeps them relevant. Noitamina slot means high production quality—that timeslot is reserved for premium anime that push boundaries. School comedy with unique characters sounds fun; the "Kimengumi" group's unconventional antics should provide plenty of laughs.

The TV anime "High School! Kimengumi" based on Motoei Shinzawa's original work revealed its main visual and main music video today, along with 10 additional cast members and music information.
