The anime originally premiered in Japan on July 2, 2025, and will continue for two split cours.

Yasuyuki Oishi (Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin assistant director) is helming the new anime, while Fumito Yamada (Hell’s Paradise Episode 8 director) serves as assistant director, Yoshiki Okusa (The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases co-scriptwriter) is contributing as series screenwriter, Yu Yoshiyama (Mahoutsukai Precure!!

Additional staff includes Hironori Tanaka and Kijimaru as yokai designers, Takahiro Kagami (Jigoku Sensei Nube OVA Episode 3 co-character designer, Bucchigiri?! character designer) and Yu Yoshiyama as action directors, Hitoshi Tamura (Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7) as screen designer, and Evan Call (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) as music composer. Studio Kai is responsible for the animation production.
The first cour of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube premiered with a special one-hour launch on July 2, 2025, featuring the first two episodes airing consecutively. The second cour is scheduled to start broadcasting in January 2026 after a break this fall.
The original Jigoku Sensei Nube manga series is created by Sho Makura and illustrated by Takeshi Okano. It was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump starting on August 24, 1993, and continued until May 11, 1999. This was followed by Jigoku Sensei Nube NEO and Jigoku Sensei Nube S, along with spin-offs Reibaishi Izuna and Reibaishi Izuna: Ascension. A short series called Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube PLUS was released this year between May and June on Shonen Jump+. Another new manga titled Jigoku Sensei Nube Kai launched in Saikyo Jump on May 2, 2025.
A previous TV anime produced by Toei Douga (now Toei Animation) aired from 1996 to 1997. The manga also inspired a 10-episode live-action drama in 2014.
REMOW outlines the central plot of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube as:
Numerous mysterious occurrences have been affecting the town of Domori. To protect the town’s children, a new homeroom teacher named “Nube” arrives.
Typically kind-hearted and slightly extroverted, Nube harbors a secret: he is actually the only psychic instructor in Japan. There are also rumors that a demon possesses his left hand!
Hell’s messenger of justice is ready to confront the school’s seven mysteries, ghosts, and malevolent spirits that threaten his students. This occultist action narrative begins now!
