Steineded How sad is this?
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Marcus James I have no idea what the reviewers below were watching. Perhaps they are all 8-13 year olds... I dont know. But this is a very sad anime that goes no where and does nothing for at least the 1st 17 episodes. I gave up on it.This anime is basically all about tropes and cheesy dialog between kids. Its the definition of generic. If you look up how to create generic characters and used them all in one show, you will have this anime. Each character is the most bland, soulless copy of a character you have seen before but the weakness of this show it does not focus on story so nothing ever develops and no one cares about any of the characters. They use a new character every episode as the teacher helps them overcome their weaknesses. In between they throw in a few action sequences and a big boobed blonde to hold your interest. This is how you know the show is garbage.There is no story development in this show. Its just a mini coming of age story multiplied by the number of students in the class. Its not funny in the least.
Mery S To 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!
hammaddar2010 This anime is true Gem and its one of my top three anime of all time. never in my imagination i would have thought while watching it that it will reach the heights of perfection that it managed to achieve. it might look like a simple average comedy anime from start but by the end of it , it will become your favorite anime and leave you in tears of both sadness and joy.All the characters are amazing and especially Koro Sensei is one of the best characters i have ever seen in anime(don't be fooled by his looks :p). Most beautiful thing about this anime is the real life lessons the students as well the viewer learns which have deep impact and could bring inspiration to someone who is struggling in his own life. Its a must see anime for anyone. even 10 stars might not be enough to justify this anime brilliance.
Jolien_Goedleven 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.
