To an extent, this mentality isn’t too far off. Having a bunch of junior high delinquents kill their artificially composed “sensei” is pretty imaginative, but simultaneously seems as if there isn’t much to work with.
Picking up knives and weapons instead of pens and utensils, the kids train themselves to eliminate this otherworldly creature. One day, a new “teacher” arrives, tasking the class with a seemingly simple objective: assassinate him before the time limit is reached or the Earth is doomed. Assassination Classroom performs similarly, offering an anime that still has lessons to be learned.Īssassination Classroom follows the “End Class,” a group of students relegated to the bottom-of-the-barrel in their school system due to their poor grades, abysmal behavior, or any combination thereof. They stuck through my incessant ramblings, allowing me to realize the error of my ways, making me into a better person because of their hard work. I eventually learned this lesson – it took a little too long by my family’s account – but my teachers never gave up on me. you get to speak your mind and times when you just have to shut up. No matter how many reprimands or punishments I got, I couldn’t seem to get it into my noggin that there are times when I would talk while the teachers were speaking, I would talk over my friends, and I would talk during assemblies when I wasn’t supposed to. There was a big flaw that took a while for me to shake off, though: talking way too much. I read my books, did my homework, and played nicely during recess. Spoilers ahead!)Īs I made my way through my early education, I always considered myself a pretty good student. (This has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Through trial and error, Nagisa Shiota, as well as the other students of Class 3-E, must figure out Koro-sensei's weaknesses-and fast, for the very fate of the world depends upon it. Training the class to excel in both their studies as students and skills as assassins, Koro-sensei is confident that his students' ingenuity and indomitable will could return them to the main campus. Ironically, he also proves to be one of the best teachers Class 3-E has ever had. Not only can Koro-sensei move at speeds of up to Mach 20, but he can also resist almost every earthly weapon. In light of their mission, the students have found that killing him is easier said than done. Having already destroyed the moon, the octopus-like professor-dubbed "Koro-sensei"-has now threatened to destroy the Earth by March of the following year. That is, until the national government tasks them with eliminating the greatest threat to their planet: their new teacher. Looked down upon by their peers, the students in this class appear to have little hope in advancing their academic careers. Tucked in the mountains near the elite Kunugigaoka Middle School lies a small derelict building that houses the delinquents and dropouts of Class 3-E.
