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
... View MoreThis show offers a much more unique experience than most of the shonen animes, or shows in general. It is a flurry of different genres, all compiled into a surprisingly good mould. AC has some slice of life elements, comedic moments that fit the situation perfectly, great quality fight scenes and a deep and good character development, which contrasts to the outwardly simplistic plot.But you have to actually see the show, before you blindly rate it. There was some guy who was complaining about the 'cheesiness' of the show, but what do you expect? It's a show centered around highschool characters, and honestly, AC is deeper than a lot of anime I've seen. There's also a good reason behind the man character's apparent 'girliness', which is very well explained in later episodes.Season 1 sort of has a lighter feeling around it, and focuses on fun stuff, for lack of better words. Season 2 is a shade darker, with better tension, conflict and much more action.The best part about this show is the lack of filler, and the fact that the it can match any mood you're feeling with what happens on screen. Overall, currently I name AC as the best comedic anime I've seen, which still retains a serious larger plot.
... View MoreTo find a Japanese animated series about a high school is certainly not surprising and it may be enough to make non-fans of the so- called genre 'anime' run away. What is more, even anime fans could think of it as just another series just after watching the opening but don't be deceived by its childish appearance because you'll be missing an amazing show.So what is the plot? A class of teenagers must kill their alien teacher because he wants to destroy the world. An apparently impossible duty is handed to them given that no forces of law had been able to kill him. However, the teacher and monster itself encourages them to do their best in their studies and in the killing task.The attitude of the antagonist known as Koro-sense is not the only weird thing surrounding this persona, his physical appearance and sense of humour makes him a certainly flamboyant character. A 'sensei' quite different in manners to the classical mentor in science fiction stories but not less wise or lovable. The students of this teacher are also characters who differ from typical ones, they are the worst students of an elite school. This means that they are the ones labelled as lazy or simply stupid and the shows succeeds not only in showing us their true selves and development into adulthood but also in giving a very realistic view on teenagers. While many series tend to show us plain teens with one remarkable trait, here I could see real people even in the less protagonist students. One of the most fascinating things about this show is how in the end you get to know all the students in the class and it is all about their story. Even if there are many great adult characters, they seem flawed compared to this group of teenagers. I insist, the depth of the characters makes it difficult to hate them since you are able to understand their position even when they are making mistakes. Regarding the drawings, we again can see very idealistic drawings with characters that look like they belong to a children's show and the colours only help to convey this idea. Everything is full of colour and life in a series where the main theme is murder. The colour I think matches perfectly the antagonist friendly and joking personality as well as the didactic idea of presenting the show as a series of life lessons that young people can learn from. As I mentioned previously, the opening of the show may give a kind of feeling that this show is going to be light yet the intensity of the most dramatic parts is well accompanied by songs that succeed in portraying the feelings of the characters as 'Moonlight' does.The acting of the voice actors in Japanese is key to characters such as Koro-sensei with its characteristic laugh and changes in tone portraying kindness, pride and anger among other feelings. Voice also plays a significant role in Nagisa's androgynous character and Karma's menacing attitude.In conclusion, I really encourage teenagers, young-adults and specially teachers to give it a try but I believe Assassination Classroom deserves to be among the greatest animated series ever made so regardless of your age or race, don't miss it!
