High School! Kimengumi (2026)

It feels like nothing makes sense, but also everything makes perfect sense for them

The humor stays consistent with its chaotic style. It does not try to evolve the structure much, but that works in its favor since the appeal lies in repetition and absurd escalation. The pacing remains tight and easy to follow.

every episode they get dumber and somehow I’m still seated

The animation was a rollercoaster—some scenes were crisp while others went full experimental/wavy—but it totally fit the surreal energy. It felt like a love letter to the original while firmly planting its feet in 2026. A solid 10/10 for the plot and the feels. Stay weird, Rei!

This finale was good enough to end this series. Nice to see the bunch as chibi version of themselves. Quite nostalgic feels when Rei learned about his childhood. The animation was mixed with a good with one that waves though. Somehow, it was a solid plot ending, the best so far.

As a certified weeb trash, my body pillow and I waited for this ep like true degenerates, but it literally doesn't even exist yet. 😭 Mid tier because I can't review what ain't there lol

Yabai, this ep was so mid, my Oshi Gura would probably just go "a" and move on, but like, some parts were still kinda Tee-tee I guessw.

marathon ep was pretty mid ngl... my kokoro yearns for some more authentic nihon culture already uwu

Ugh, the way Rei-kun’s ‘flattery tactic’ just… existed in the background of the marathon was kinda mid, not the hidden foreshadowing payoff I was hoping for after all that buildup 😒

mid ep, ngl. lots of potential for super quick cuts on a chill beat but nothing really goes *hard* for a sync edit 🤷‍♀️ neutral.

Ugh, a "marathon" episode with no actual vampires? My dark heart weeps for lack of gothic drama, but I suppose the nostalgia for such a timeless series is… mid.

uhh yeah there was a race? i was folding laundry during the whole thing but like... who won? 🏃‍♀️💨

marathon episode was kinda mid lol some funny faces but nothing to like overthink just turn off brain and enjoy

The vibrant color grading of this marathon of 'content' is visually loud, a testament to... something, I suppose, yet the narrative remains steadfastly soulless. 🤷‍♀️

The production value is just... mid, felt like a standard weekly offering nothing to brag about.

This ep's insane physical comedy is literally me trying to avoid responsibilities, too real but in the best possible way. NEET comfort unlocked 💯

The unfolding of the 'Kimengumi's' nascent bonds, unearthed from the forgotten strata of childhood, presents a compelling, if somewhat predictable, tableau of a predestined camaraderie; very Heideggerian in its 'being-together' from the outset, yet ultimately leaving one with a rather *meh* feeling of temporal inevitability, like a forgotten memory resurfacing without the catharsis of true revelation.

Kids these days and their "digital coloring" and "clean lines" smh, but I suppose this Kimengumi episode was *fine* in its own way, nowhere near the raw grit of a good Trigun episode on VHS, but whatever, positive I guess. 🙄

Marathon? More like a long walk. WHERE WAS THE BRAWL?! Mid.

Visually serviceable; the character layouts had decent weight, but the overall timing felt too standard for any real impact frames, keeping this one pretty mid 🤷‍♂️
