Introduction

The Funny-face Club are technically high school students, but that's where the normal part ends. The five members (Rei Ichidou, Gou Reietsu, Kiyoshi Shusse, Dai Monohoshi, and Jin Daima) all have unique faces and even more unique personalities. Whether you're talking about temperaments, intellect, physical quirks, or behavior, they're all complete weirdos! Alongside them are other colorful groups at school like the Pretty-boy Brigade, the Buckle-down Bunch, and the Rebel Crew, alongside classmates like Yui Kawa and Chie Uru, and all their teachers who also get caught up in the chaos. Together, they dive headfirst into a nonstop series of wacky, wild antics. It's a story packed with absurdity, nonsense, unpredictability, and utter madness, featuring five hopeless underachievers that will stay in your memory forever! (Source: It's Anime)

If you think back to your school days, you probably remember someone who was the class clown and a proud underachiever. That's lucky, because the "funny-face gang" in HIGH SCHOOL! KIMENGUMI happens to fill this exact type of endearingly sophomoric role. But before we dive into today's topic, I think it's crucial to first discuss the key elements that make up this anime. Indeed, many reviews fall into the pitfall of delving into specifics right away, which can confuse readers unfamiliar with the fundamentals of the work being reviewed. This is especially true with this item, a cult classic that has become increasingly obscure to western audience over time. The genre is clearly labeled as comedy, but this category can encompass many different types of comedy, each with a wide scope. More pre…

I watched this series released for Europe on TV by accident in the year 2002. There's little content with English subtitles, but since a month ago, some people are trying to rescue this classic so it may take a while. I suggest reading the Recommendation List. -Nice things: I would say that the characters are appalling, in a very nice and over-the-top way and you can't resist loving each one of them while crying from laugh. The sense of humour is very similar to Lupin III or Dash Kappei. -Where the bad lies: Well, the animation is from the 80s so don't expect a HD format in 16:4, it'll probably be in 4:3 format. Another important thing to notice is that the way they portray things may be rejected by some people according to their ideology. Try to be open-minded at first.
