This manga is something exceptional. It surely isn't for everyone, as it's humor is pretty weird and the story is just erratic. However, if you stick with it, you'll realize it's actually great.
Story-wise, it's weird, honestly. The manga is basically all of the genres; it ranges from comedy to even horror (!) and psychological thriller sometimes. However, it handles each part so splendidly that you won't notice the conversion from funny and weird to serious and unsettling. Yuusei Matsui really did a great job. Also, it does cover many mental states via the villains and several characters. And it does that pretty nicely. Other than
...
that, the story consists of four basic arcs;
1) the first part (up until chapter 60) where there are many, separate cases that don't connect with each other. It's basically an intro for the characters and some development. Also, they do introduce the main villain, who doesn't do anything exceptional.
2) the best arc. A new villain appears and decides to rule the world. The thing is, it doesn't get boring at all, the motives and continuation are perfect and the arc ending is so satisfying. You might even get emotional.
3) the main villain starts to do shit and the protagonists have to stop him from completing the said shit. Pretty great, I sadly cannot say anything that won't count as spoilers.
4) the last arc, where the final, true villain appears and does worse shit than the main villain. The thing is, some situations really do cause anxiety and/or disgust on a whole new level. The ending is pretty generic in my opinion, but I weirdly didn't mind. It did leave a lot of possibilities open, so that might be why.
The characters are all great, with more than enough development for each one of them. This manga is one of the cases when you just cannot hate any one of them, no matter how evil they are. Even supportive role characters that do seem useless are pretty likeable. As the story progresses, some of them die. And that sucks. A lot. I even shed several tears for one of them. Other ones got injured pretty badly and I was in pain, just like them. They are just so realistic that you can't help but care about them.
The art was the only difficult part to give a score to. It's kind of bad, especially in the beginning. However, it does get better later on. The thing is, there are some certain parts that are handled PERFECTLY. The meanings, the absurdness, the comparisons are shown the way they should. The art there is just exceptionally awesome. I cannot really describe it, you'll have to find out what i mean on your own.
Overall, I enjoyed it very much, although I felt like it would get kind of boring mainly at the beginning. My advice is, don't stop it. Clench your teeth and keep going. It'll be worth your time later on.

Assassination Classroom is not fot everyone. Its concept is weird and it kind of makes you question whether you should read it or not at first. However, once you get used to the concept, it actually becomes pretty balanced.
Story-wise, it's a pretty chill manga that offers you that one bit of relaxation. You don't have to waste brain power to understand what's going on. It's also pretty funny; the humor is simple but effective. There are gags that play many times without getting boring. That's what happens at the beginning. After a certain point, Assassination Classroom becomes way more interesting and you'll find yourself invested
...
in it. Action, deep meanings, great humor, anger, you'll feel it all. You can see that there's a big backstory that just hasn't been revealed yet and that makes it all the more great.
Later on, the whole story is finally coming to an end and everything is revealed; from Koro-sensei's backstory to the reason the moon was destroyed. The story finally gets what we call a "deep shit", as everything becomes more serious towards the second half of the season. After a certain point, you get so invested in the story that you cannot stop reading. There are also several good plot twists that do seem to have a certain justification. They are not the typical "let's shake the reader" plot twists. They're pretty well explained later on and they just add to the story.
Regarding the characters, they're all exceptionally unique. Yuusei Matsui managed to create ~35 different characters that still feel so different from each other. The students' designs (apart from the protagonists) are not too unique, but they aren't bland either. You can distinguish them all easily and you'll also like them all. Their personalities are loveable and fairly realistic. Korosensei himself is a really interesting character, just like the protagonist students and the rest of class E's teachers. The best part about them is that there's an harmony between them. They all have their own quirks and talents and they blend in so well to the point that they make a great team. The character development is fair, some get more, some do not, but it's always enough to make you like them all.
The art is not really exceptional. It's pretty ok, actually. It doesn't stand out, but it doesn't disappoint or disturb you. On the other hand, the way it presents some things, like some comparisons (i.e. comparing a trait or a situation to an animal or something extraordinary), is great and really memorable. The way it represents someone's talent with a snake every time is pretty accurate and beautiful in a sense.
The ending is one of the most satisfying ones I've ever read. It really wraps up the story so greatly. It's certainly heartbreaking and touching but you can't think anything else than "that's just how it had to end, no better way to do that". Perhaps I shed one or two tears along the way.
Overall, although a long one, it was a great journey with many great morals and awesome characters, plot and ending. Absolutely recommended to those who are not afraid to taste something weird and funny.

The first season was great, but then the second one came amd blew everything away. Way better that the first season for sure.
The whole story is finally coming to an end and everything is revealed; from Koro-sensei's backstory to the reason the moon was destroyed. The story finally gets what we call a "deep shit", as everything becomes more serious towards the second half of the season.

...
viewer" plot twists. They're pretty well explained later on and they just add to the story.
The characters just get a development so good that you can't help but love them all. They're all unique but not too unique. Realistic to bits, each one of them has to offer something.
Regarding the animation and the music, I don't think it got any better. It pretty much stayed the same as the first season, meaning that it was okay. Nothing exceptionally good, but it did make a good atmosphere.
The ending is one of the most satisfying ones I've ever watched. It really wraps up the story so greatly. It's certainly heartbreaking and touching but you can't think anything else than "that's just how it had to end, no better way to do that". Perhaps I shed one or two tears along the way.

Overall, it's a pretty great anime which you'll enjoy whether you're here for the deep story or the morals or the humor.
