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 this anime so much that I’ve started to read the manga.

This is a short review but this anime brings so much comfort and the main character is just a gem. All of the characters are lovable, but Haru genuinely brings me so much laughs and smiles. On one hand he’s kinda relatable but on the other, he’s so over the top and ridiculous that most of the time I can never take him seriously, but that’s what I love about him.

The plot is quite interesting and makes for so many good and funny moments.

9/10 from me and I plan to ... finish the manga as well :)

I love funny anime that can get a smile out of me and make me feel happy so I recommend this anime to anyone that loves silly goofy anime.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (7/24 eps)

Aside from the fact that the teacher is a pervert and probably should be behind bars by now
This anime offers a unique blend of comedy and unconventional storytelling that sets it apart from the typical seasonal lineup of magical girl shows, pure isekais, and overly familiar harem tropes. While the premise might initially feel controversial due to the behavior of the teacher, which could be a deal-breaker for some viewers, the story grows more engaging as the students begin to form an unexpected bond with the character. The humor is lighthearted, and the series gradually becomes enjoyable once you push past the first couple of ... episodes.

Though it’s still incomplete, I’d give it a solid 7.6 so far.

Preliminary (3/24 eps)

I want to recommend this series. But just like I can't make the series actually good, I can't. Yokai Sensei has the setup and the potential to be a great series; a classroom full of unique students, all with their own powers, hang-ups, and a quirky human teacher with his own secret. It could be a great series like Marimashita Iruma-kun, a delightful blend of comedy, worldbuilding and character development.

However, don't hold your breath. The characters are flat and one-dimensional, and I promise they will not get better. What's most important in Yokai Sensei, more than anything else, is the punchline. Even in the ... 3 episodes that have aired so far, any moment that could have been touching or connects you with the characters in some way is undermined by The Commitment To The Bit. Whether it's sensei's uniform fetish, sudden bouts of unexplainable stupidity, or everything ending in disaster 'just because', things are inconsistent, nonsensical and don't really provide any sense of fulfillment. Perhaps taking things seriously would make things less funny. Whether the series IS funny is something that can only be judged by the individual, but I'm not really amused by slapstick.

The animation is subar, what little style the original manga had has been stripped, and the overall production value is low. While I will probably continue watching it despite this review, (for reasons even I don't understand), I don't actually recommend it to anyone. It's just genuinely not very good. Maybe watch it if you like slapstick, have a high tolerance for bad writing, or, like myself, are just starved for more content on yokai mythos.
