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*

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.

"Assassination Classroom" is an anime that stands out as a masterpiece in my heart, embodying the perfect blend of humor, warmth, and profound storytelling. From the outset, the premise of a yellow, tentacled creature threatening to destroy the Earth unless he is killed by his students might sound bizarre, but it's this very eccentricity that crafts the anime's unique charm.

Koro-sensei, the unkillable teacher with a heart of gold, is the centerpiece of this narrative, offering both laughter and life lessons in abundance. His relationship with Class 3-E, a group of underdogs, is not just about assassination attempts; it's a journey of growth, self-discovery, and overcoming personal challenges. The show masterfully balances its comedic elements with emotional depth, making you laugh one moment and tearing you up the next.

What truly sets "Assassination Classroom" apart is its ability to weave significant life lessons into its narrative seamlessly. It touches on the importance of compassion, the value of hard work, and the power of believing in oneself. Each character, no matter how initially trivial, is given a moment to shine, showcasing their development and the impact Koro-sensei has on their lives.

Moreover, the anime's animation and soundtrack beautifully complement the story's tone, enhancing the emotional and comedic beats. The opening and ending themes are catchy and resonate with the anime's overarching themes of hope and determination.

In conclusion, "Assassination Classroom" is not just an anime; it's an emotional rollercoaster that teaches us about the importance of connection, the teacher-student bond, and the journey to becoming better individuals. It's a heartwarming, hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable experience that I firmly believe to be one of the best anime of all time. Whether you're an anime aficionado or a newcomer to the medium, this is one class you won't want to skip.

The title of this anime makes it sound like a sadistic and maybe lame wannabe thriller, but in reality, Assassination Classroom is an incredibly wonderful and heartfelt story. It starts off purely humorous and light, but oh my god, it blossoms into something amazing throughout it's two seasons.

One of the most admirable things is the approach to every single character in the show; Assassination Classroom features a class of about 30 students, and surely an anime would never take the time to focus on each individual character and their talents and flaws, right?

WRONG!

By the end of the series, you seriously know about every character and get legit attached to them, which is amazing. The relationships in this show are executed perfectly, and when you give them a supernatural edge, the result is absolutely amazing. There's honestly nothing I disliked about this show, and btw, the ending made me cry so hard, and I'm not usually a cryer. Thinking back about literally any episode of AssClass makes me feel really good and happy. 10/10
