Assassination Classroom

And like that it's over the two seasons of Assassination Classroom are behind me and though I believe the quality dipped I can confidently say I miss it already.

Now I'm "That guy" who wants to like anime but generally struggles. I like darker stuff and avoid the cutesy stuff which seems to make up most of the anime available. For that reason I've genuinely struggled to find both series & movies to watch.

On this occasion against my better judgement I watched the two Assassination Classroom live action movies first and was really quite blown away with how good they were. I figured the anime would be a let down by comparison and I'm still on the fence as to which is truly better.

Assassination Classroom is a beautiful intricate storyline with real depth and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sadly a large chunk of season 2 feels like filler and that really damaged it but it returned to form in it's final few episodes all leading the incredible finale.

Without a doubt this is heavily underrated as many people I've spoken to have never heard of it. It's well woven, thought provoking and powerful as well as genuinely funny in places.

One odd thing is it's tone, it's so inconsistent. It is fairly cutesy, in places is ridiculously so and yet it can switch on a dime and get really quite dark.

I am so very glad that I experienced the series as it was certainly a memorable one and one that will stay with me.

The Good:

Amazing storyline

Powerful messages

Very well written

Devastatingly good finale

Great characters

The Bad:

Cheesy soundtrack

Some over the top anime tropes

A lot of filler in season 2

Things I Learnt From This Series:

The Japanese are capable of producing something involving tentacles and school girls without blending them in a dirty way

I'm going to miss Koro-sensei and the e-class *Sadface*

Assassination classroom deserves a genre of it's own. I honestly can't put it in anything specific, but it was so good. I expected a quirky comedy and fun, and season 1 is indeed that, but season 2 pushes the pedals to max.

Some years later and I've finally watched this masterpiece - and I regret to say it should have been done much sooner. It's something special, something we can all learn from. Now, a few hours after finishing it and still thinking about it I can say I'm sad, but I absolutely loved every second of it and I'd watch it again for the first time again and again.

Episode 25 is probably some of the most heart wrenching thing I've seen in an anime, for all of the 28 names shouted I was just dying inside. A masterpiece and hats of to everyone who pulled it together. I don't know when almost 50 episodes went by, but it was an incredible experience and I'm deeply grateful for it.

When I watched the final episode, I just stared at my screen for some time. I was left with tears in my eyes, and that's something that has never happened before when I watched anime.

You know what the thing is, this anime has overall little characters starring in it. So it's very easy to care for all of them. And boy, did I care.

Ansatsu Kyoshitsu is about an assassination class, the E-class, who has to kill their teacher. Their teacher has already destroyed the moon, and is about to destroy earth as well. So, as to keep him a state secret, they give the E-class a chance of killing him. I thought this plot to be very strange and appealing. But when I watched the first episode, it was really really strange. But when you get passed that, the appealing part starts. And when you're passed the second episode and you kinda get what's going on, you won't be able to stop watching. The students grow and try out plans to kill their teacher. As the series progresses, they all develop their own skill, which allows the viewer to get to know each and every one of those students. And I really loved them. Especially Nagisa.

The anime itself never gets boring. It is funny, very emotional and it even has plot twists you didn't see coming. It has it all. Lovely characters, romance, bloodlust, secrets, tense music,... Overall, it stays with you.

The lingering and final idea the anime gave me, was that killing isn't easy. It may seem so at the beginning of the series, but it isn't. Not just because of all the planning and the risk of your own life. But because those students got in way too deep. They were too involved. And it is because of that, that this anime is so strong. It wouldn't have been if they followed one of the random assassins the government hired.

I think I'm gonna watch them all again tomorrow.

This anime is true Gem and its one of my top three anime of all time. never in my imagination i would have thought while watching it that it will reach the heights of perfection that it managed to achieve. it might look like a simple average comedy anime from start but by the end of it , it will become your favorite anime and leave you in tears of both sadness and joy.All the characters are amazing and especially Koro Sensei is one of the best characters i have ever seen in anime(don't be fooled by his looks :p). Most beautiful thing about this anime is the real life lessons the students as well the viewer learns which have deep impact and could bring inspiration to someone who is struggling in his own life. Its a must see anime for anyone. even 10 stars might not be enough to justify this anime brilliance.

its SO very funny, i can't stop laugh, it's the type of TV series for the people who wants a good and funny story. I Highly recommend to see it, in my opinion, 10 stars from 10. the first time i saw this anime i thank, "what the hell its going on here?". but 10 minutes later, i can't stop of watch it. seriously, this anime have...

1. a good story 2. weird characters 3. a good ambiance

sorry, but really i can't enumerate the good things of this anime, it's very funny.

but to begin the anime in the o¿correct order, please, watch the OVA, i don't gonna do spoiler, because i have respect and love for all the anime in the world, specially for this.AMAZING!
