Assassination Classroom
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Picture a tentacle-covered alien creature, bright yellow and terrifying, destroying 70% of the Moon, then showing up to teach middle school. That's the setup for Assassination Classroom, and it somehow works. Koro-sensei, the students' nickname for their unkillable new homeroom teacher, moves at Mach 20, can dodge anything, and has given the world a deadline: he'll destroy Earth by March. The Japanese government's solution? Pay the outcasts of Class 3-E a massive bounty to kill him before graduation. These are the lowest-ranked students at Kunugigaoka Junior High, dumped in a run-down building on a mountain, treated like garbage by the rest of the school. Now they're training as assassins between math lessons. The thing is, Koro-sensei actually cares about teaching them. He's weirdly the best educator they've ever had, patient, creative, genuinely invested in each student's growth. So every episode has this tension between wanting to see them succeed at the assassination and not wanting them to, because this ridiculous octopus man is the first adult who's believed in them. It's a 22-episode TV series from Lerche that balances comedy and real emotional weight without either side feeling cheap. If you liked the unconventional teacher dynamic in Great Teacher Onizuka or the underdog class tension in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, this hits similar notes with way more knife fights. Fans of Danganronpa's life-or-death school setting will feel at home too, though the tone here is warmer than you'd expect.

I read the manga, and I'm half-n-half on this one. I wouldn't re-read this nor watch it, and it wasn't necessarily a woah-this-is-a-very-amazing-anime-and-impacted-my-life but because I'm a dumb ahh in figuring out plot twists, I was so shocked Kaede (Akari?) had tentacles. Like, flabbergasted that my sister looked at me weirdly at my reaction (told me it wasn't that deep) Also, if you see this and decide to comment on it - in that comment, could you give me some anime recommendations? I'm trying to expand my watch list. Thank u :)
the best
My taste
Love it
I enjoyed it! Though I personally recommend the Manga, it has a way of showing the intense moments really well. Otherwise the anime was great and it's a good way to start for beginners!
You have no idea how much i love this anime!! The plot is amazing! The flashbacks were very interesting, And the emotional scenes hit me like a brick to my heart. 10/10!!!
Maybe all people are like that. I wonder if I would also end up like that, if I was faced with a weak opponent. ” — Maehara Hiroto my FAVOURITE anime/manga EVER and NOTHING will change that i think .i adore these idiots with all my heart since forever basically
I skipped this episode when the teacher started hitting the kids. I figured he'd be gone forever and the episode wouldn't matter in the long run. Boy was I wrong.
It about learning to find to fit in empty ourselves and improve.. And believe someone care enough for you
Truly one of the most unexpected moments in this episode would be Nagisa and Takaoka, it was one of a kind, seeing the battle iq that Nagisa have is truly impressive.

A cute episode about the schools test/exams
My favourite part is how Koro takes care of his students.
This episode also introduces a new character - Irina - who is an assassin who has to pose as an English teacher. There's a scene in this episode that makes me very uncomfortable, and I don't know why anyone isn't talking about it. It's when Irina lures Koro into the shed, and they have "adult times."
This episode introduces a new character, Karma, who is hellbent on killing Koro Sensei, but is also known to be a delinquent who was forced into Class 3-E. There are also very little flash backs and the art style is amazing.
It seems like the teacher really enjoys being around his students, so much so that he will do anything for them - like replanting the flowers he tore out.
It's a strange but strong start to a new anime - one that feels right up my alley of weirdness. I think I'll like this.
Truly incredible.
Prior to this episode, the whole cast has been shown as normal highschool kids in the "back classes". But Nagisa starts of the day showing his potential in the art of assassination. As the episode goes on, it's clear to Nagisa's PE Instructor, Karasuma, that Nagisa has the most killer potential out of everyone in the class (Aside from Koro-sensei, ofc). This episode also sets the stage for the grand season finale of Nagisa vs Takaoka sensei in their final round. One of the most hype moments of anime in 2015.
