Assassination Classroom

One word to describe this series. It's crazy!!!

 

I mean right off the bat you'd be like WTF?!! And I've seen my share of weird anime. The concept of the series is that a extraordinary creature named Koro, a name given to him by his students. Who long ago destroyed a moon and then declared that he'd do the same to the earth unless he gets killed. And the ones he request to do him in are the students of Class-E

Class-E is the students whom are...academically challenged and those who haven't reached the same achievements as the regular classes have are sent to that class. And the shit that this class gets dealt with by the other classmates is brutal. 

Anyways if any of the students manage to kill Koro then they're awarded a billion dollars, thats right. And the kicker is that he's going to teach the students how to kill him while also teaching them to progress and become just as good as the other classes. A regular save the students scenario.

The main characters in question

Color me surprised to see an shounen anime featuring a female protagonist and a surprisingly likable one at that. Not an idiot hero nor a tsundere and I'm happy to see the little lady not being reduced to nothing but fanservice but she's underaged so yeah. Then again it never stopped Eiken....Memories*shudders*

There are other characters that i find intriguing but Nagisa also has some interesting traits and she can be quite the badass. I like that she's gradually being developed as the strategist and pretty much the leader of the class.

The quintessential bad boy of the series and what makes this one different is he actually backs up the moniker. What I like about this guy is that despite him being a bad boy he has traits that I find likable, him being a bully hunter is a plus. He's also bffs with the main heroine Nagisa and they have a believable friendship judging from the chemistry. With a character like this he deserves his own theme.

 

Nagisa's close bff and the one who came up with Koro's name. Other than that she hasn't stood out much as the other students as she's mostly in the background but she brings a refreshing presence as she isn't the typical Shounen Tsundere.

Assassination Classroom is a series that is a little different when compared to my usual animes but its really entertaining as it manages to be unpredictable. For instance I once thought Koro is the villain but by nine episodes in I'm not so sure. And I like a series that is unexpected and keeps you tuned in.

Assassination Classroom is a series I'd highly recommend.
