Story 8: The story is fantastic, ample time is spent developing the characters of
the members of class e and their relationship with koro sensei.The school setting has been done to death and has become cliche however ansatsu brings something new to the table not only is there an in classroom conflict in the students having to kill their teacher their is an out of classroom conflict as well a conflict of ideals in education.Class e entire existence is to be shunned and scorned being class e the end class it is for those who are not in class e to look at a ridicule to make themselves feel better and push themselves to achieve to not end up in the end class.The students are trapped in despair and hopeless feeling like their lives are over for being in class e however koro sensei sought to change the system which inevitably led to conflict between his ideal on education and the chairman who was hellbent on keeping his system.In case you didn't know Japanese culture in general is based on education and work as such grades determine everything, the weak die and the strong survive mentality.From what i have seen in Korean and Japanese manga education is very important and typically students even attend cram school which is school after school and the adults work long overtime with no breaks if you don't you don't get payed.It is an industrial society because of this as a result fun fact it has led to low birth rates as people are always working and have no time for kids and by 2050 if it continues at this rate the population will be cut in half.The point of what i just said is the show the weight of results in japan and the level of despair students of class e feel being the lowest of the low on the education totem pole.The story progresses smoothly with the slow acceptance of koro sensei into the class to the students who were in living hell eventually believing they could be someone and not just the scum of society.There are really two plot points class e rising above adversity and the system they were stuff in and the assassination of koro sensei.The assassination of koro sensei plot point had a slow buildup,hints of his past and motives are shown throughout the series until a huge climax which turned the series on its head everything now made sense and brings a level of respect to the foreshadowing from many chapters past.
Art 8: The art in assassination classroom is good its crisp and clean suits the school setting and the battle sequences that follow.
Character 8: The characters in ansatsu are all enjoyable, the beginning developed the members of the classroom and introduce new members to the classroom.The atmosphere in the classroom went form one of hopelessness to a happy one because of koro sensei. Koro sensei is a very good teacher he teachers the students not only classroom lessons but also life lessons.He gave off a very mysterious and kind of contradictory vibe he loves his students and cares deeply for them yet at the same thing is gonna blow up the earth and kill them all in a year.His motives were hinted at throughout the series and then came a massive plot twist that finally made everything make sense.The other characters are also good the chairman`s ideals in a sense aren't necessarily evil it is that sacrificing of the few for the many ideal and they do indeed bring results is that right well that is up for interpretation.The way he is as a person makes him seem very evil not only to his students but also to his own son who he has instilled in the notion of power and results are all that is important.At the heart of his character is a person who has made a mistake.He and koro sensei are two sides of the same coin.The main character nagisa is not a weak person he has incredible strength and the reasons behind his trapish look makes the reader feel sad for him.A character who i wont name to spoil anyone completely throws the reader off guard the reveal of their intentions came out of nowhere but look close enough and the foreshadowing was there.
Enjoyment 8: Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is really enjoyable to read and once you play close attention to the underlying themes of the story you instantly realize the potential it has and so the reader is compelled to keep reading.The reveals don't disappoint and the story is filled with fun and enjoyment.
Overall 8: This is a very good series that if you can see its potential hooks you in and forces you to continue reading.The story and characters are good and it deserves the attention it gets.
