Alright, let's go murder some teacher. Oh wait... Do you mean that teacher who pierced through the moon and made that moon in a forever crescent shape? Well then, let me think and prepare for that.
In Assassination Classroom (or Ansatsu Kyoushitsu), class 3-E consists of students who will get the lowest form of education and probably even fail in life. Those students also have no sheer hope in anywhere of their lives as the upper students above their class will always be 'better' than them. However, class 3-E gets a new teacher that will turn their class around this year, and you guess it: it's
...
Koro-Sensei, the teacher who pierced through that moon.
Story: 8
Just as it was stated in the previous paragraph, Assassination Classroom is your stereotypical classroom, with weapons and tentacles and a hot substitute teacher. NO, IT IS NOT THAT TYPE OF ANIME. Putting that yelling aside, the students in class 3-E has one mission, and that is to kill Koro-Sensei. However, let's just say that the teacher is very smart, fast, and the best teacher that those students have.
Over the course of this anime, students will be able to go through their school year, learning while attempting to kill their teacher. Not much plot is going on (until to the half-way of the anime) in their school year. And yes there will be sports, tests, (summer) vacation, and school trips going on. And the best part of this anime is when the students learn something from the school year which they can apply it to the success of their lives and activities (or another step to try and kill the teacher).
Art and Sound: 9
When watching Assassination Classroom, the arts and sounds REALLY set the stage for what-ever activity or event the students do over the course of their school year. Let it be in a thoughtful attempt to kill Koro-Sensei, or let it be in a dead end pathway where the students has to decide and compromise, or let it be a student getting the spotlight and being bad-ass about it. You get the idea, the arts and sounds really enhance the meaning of the story and characters and especially characters who got a decent amount of screen time in the anime.
The opening and closing of the anime was really good also. The opening gives out a pumping action for viewers to enjoy another episode of it (or to dance with it). Though the opening may ruin the mood when at times the story progresses in a suspenseful way; the opening sets a happy mood in every episode, regardless of where the anime is going. For the closing, it brings a rather calm melody to end an episode. In my opinion, the closing was indeed the best for this anime because it really gives out this vibe of accomplishment and memories the students had went through over the course of the anime. In fact, check it out before you watch it. It's "Hello, shooting-star" by moumoon. (Don't worry, it has very little spoilers).
Character: 8
Though a lot of characters come in over the course of the anime; there isn't much character development happening in the story. Yes there are students who learn from their teachers, but there are way too many students to hear their story fully over the course of 22 episodes. However, it is the many students that makes you feel like you were one of the student. And that is another reason why this anime is great: it puts its viewers into the perspective of either being in one of the student (Nagisa mostly) or being in the scenes of where those students are. It is as if you can emphasize them as the anime progresses.
For the sake of a review, I am not going to introduce all those students or the characters that came into the story.
Koro Sensei: I pretty much explained a lot about it, except Koro-Sensei looks like a yellow octopus (or squid) who dresses like a scholar.
Nagisa: The main student of the anime who can read the environment of the scene. The viewers (us) are mostly in his point of view.
Karasuma and Karma: Not much to say about them (to avoid spoilers). But let's just say, they are both badasses in their own way.
Irina: That hot substitute teacher if you guys were wondering.....
Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed the experience that Assassination Classroom give out. It is full of actions, plot-twists (especially when Koro-Sensei is involve), comedy, badass, and suspenseful. There are times when Koro-Sensei teach the students (and us perhaps) something that they and I never thought or experience before. There are also times when Koro-Sensei is not as always the best, or as perfect than I presumed. In general, the anime gives me and viewers a fair share of laughter and motivation (and maybe some traits of being a badass).
Overall: 9
Assassination Classroom is really cool, funny badass for a classroom setting. I recommend anyone who likes to see epic moments and take part of being a student (in the viewer's perspective of course). Though this is my first review and I watched subs only; I still think it is worth watching. So watch it as you can get to experience how great of a teacher Koro-Sensei is and the potentials that class 3-E has.
