Youkai Gakkou no Sensei Hajimemashita!

Following a bad experience teaching at a public high school that resulted in a break from working, Haruaki Abe eagerly takes up a new job at Hyakki Academy. Despite his cowardice, the novice teacher is motivated to do better this time around. However, his mind quickly changes when he finds out that everyone at the school is actually a supernatural being known as a youkai, leaving him glaringly out of place as the only human around.

Facing his class as its new homeroom teacher, Abe immediately becomes a target for the students' antics due to his quick-to-scare nature. Though as the man starts to learn more about the creatures, as well as himself, getting along with the unruly group might not be as hard as he originally thought as their school lives begin to get more vibrant.

I love it, I started watching it because I was attracted by the cover and the teacher-student dynamic, but I didn't expect to like it so much, it has a perfect humor for me, I like the characters and how they talk about Japanese folklore.
I think that if you are looking for something to laugh at for a while, this is perfect, don't expect such a complex plot because the "arcs" are short.
If I had a complaint it would be that the animation quality is not very good, especially in iconic scenes from the manga, but nothing is perfect haha

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (17/24 eps)

This anime is so hard to review. Is the animation good? No. Is the cast well fleshed-out? Also no for the most part. Is the main character a little creep with an unhealthy interest in underage girls’ wardrobe? Yes. But something about this show is very comfy and leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside despite all of its shortcomings.

If you’re willing to overlook his weird obsession (I know that for some it’s a dealbreaker), Seimei is a pretty easy to like character - mostly clueless but his heart is in the right place and he loves his yokai pupils dearly. The second character we ... learn the most about is Sano - Seimei’s pupil who’s kind of tsundere-ish toward him and the straight man in this comedy duo. The rest of the cast is pretty one-dimensional but they’re likable and their interactions are funny.

The show is episodic with no overarching arc (at least as of yet). In the last episode they tackled a more serious character backstory but pacing was all over the place which sadly diminished its impact. Episode premise is usually as ridiculous as you might expect from the setting. Though what you can bank on is camaraderie among classmates, Seimei’s love for his pupils and their love for Seimei, which makes me stick with this anime despite its obvious flaws.

Overall, I rate it 6/10 because it’s a flawed anime even though I enjoy it very much.

This show is fits in EXACTLY the same headspace for me as Tokyo Revengers. No matter how much I could enjoy other parts of the show, the main character is such a detestable, annoying, unlikable person that there was no longer any desire to see anyone else's story play out here in this series. The enticing part of the premise was an exploration of Japanese mythology, and this goes into a lot of the more niche creatures I haven't heard of. The problem is that the main character gets so much screen time without going anywhere while showing the cryptid of the week.. They keep ... hinting towards him having 'deep and mysterious' power. By the time the show decided to show some actual plot and intrigue about other parties being involved with his powers, my good faith towards watching the show ran out.

The main character is bottom feeding scum, and shouldn't be watched. The animation isn't ugly and the voice acting is fine, but man is the main character a drag.
