A Frightened Teacher at a Ghoul School is coming to theaters in October; everything we know so far

One of the most anticipated anime adaptations of this year, Mai Tanaka's A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School, finally has a concrete release date. The anime's official website announced on August 16 that the series will run in two consecutive cours starting October 8, 2024. Luckily for fans, it didn't give up on that, but the barrage of updates continued with the release of a new visual as well as an updated cast.

Whatever the case, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as their favorite manga is getting an all-star cast. From the voice actors to the animation studio to the director, it seems the anime gods have come together to grant them their wish and made just the right arrangements for the industry veterans to work their magic on the project. With production from the Satelight studio of Fairy Tail fame and direction from Katsumi Ono of the Captain Tsubasa: Junior Youth arc, things finally seem to be heading in the right direction.

There is more good news, however, as Deko Akao and Natsuki have also come on board for series composition and character designs, respectively. Art direction is by Yuri Matsuda of Studio Naya, sound direction is by Takahiro Fujimoto, Yujiro Yamane is the cinematographer, Hiroyuki Got's CGI direction, Michiko Nakamura's 2D work, Yoshimi Kawakami's color design, Ryoko Kaneshige's editing, as well as Mitsuri Soma's prop design will surely take the series to the next level, at least that's what fans seem to expect.

With their announcement, they also revealed an updated voice cast. Ryota Osaka, known as Keiji Akaashi from Haikyuu! and Yosuke Hirata from Classroom of the Elite, will be the voice of protagonist Haruaki Abe. His colleague from Classroom of the Elite, the voice of Suzune Horikita, and Nezuko Kamado from Demon Slayer, Akari Kito, will be lending their voices to Beniko Zashiki.

Additionally, fans will find Akari Takano as Rensuke Nyudo, Chitose Morinaga as Marshmallow, Jun Fukuyama as the main character, Reo Tanie as Mamekichi Maizuka, Nanako Mori as Yuri Renjo, and Ryota Suzuki as Mikoto Sano. Ryota Iwasaki, Saku Hyuga, Shota Aoi, Shun Horie, Taito Ban, and Takao Mitsutomi will also appear as Izuna Hatanaka, Toya Fuji, Akira Takahashi, Rintaro Miki, and Kotaro Hijita.

Fans will be excited to know that Takao Mitsutomi, Tomoaki Maeno, Tomokazy Sugita and Yuki Sakakihara will also bring Yakumo Mujina, Makoto Yamazaki, Yanagida and Tamao Akisame to life.

A continuous two-cours series also means that fans won't have to wait forever to get access to the entire season. With the series expected to span a quarter of the year, it's safe to assume that fans of the series won't be short of entertainment, with episodes set to drop weekly on Thursdays and Fridays.

Based on the life of Haruki Abe, who has great difficulty teaching his students due to his notorious cowardice, and then gets a job in a school where his students are actual ghouls. Will he manage to finally shake off his reputation as a coward? Or will he succumb to despair and give up his career, overwhelmed by his monster students and their supernatural antics?

Well, the answer will only be revealed once the series airs, which fans are waiting for with bated breath. In the meantime, keep an eye on our website as we will come up with more updates on the series as the release date draws closer!
