My friend actually first recommended this to me, and when I read a summary online, I was quite skeptical at first, because I thought I'd be getting myself into some crazy thing that'd give me nightmares 20 years down the road. But I'm very glad I decided to try it I must say, this is probably one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Period.
The basis of the story is students of the E-Class in a elite school are assigned to assassinate their new teacher, who they named Koro-Sensei, or unkillable. Koro-Sensei just blew up the moon, and if the students can't assassinate him by March, he'll blow up the earth too.
Art: 8/10
The art is pretty good. However, the artists made it pretty clear which characters are the center of attention, and which are just more side characters. Still, nothing bad and certainly better than anything I can do.
Sound: 7/10
The music is pretty average. Nothing super impressive, but it does fit well with the show.
The voice acting is what I find quite impressive. They managed to have over 20 characters and still somehow keep each character just a bit different and unique from the other ones.
Characters: 9/10
Ahh... the star of the show, the E-Class. For a show with so many characters, each one is developed very well. After the 22 episodes, it feels like you know each and every one of the characters personally, well the ones that are focused on at least, more on that later. I won't go through every character in the show because clearly, there are too many. However, I will give a mention to Nagisa, the main protagonist, and the cutest to ever walk this Earth. He starts off as a shy, almost wimpy looking character, but over the course of the story, he develops the most. Next, of course is Koro-Sensei, the tentacle wielding teacher of the E-Class that seems to be able to do just anything. Although he doesn't develop much throughout the story, he plays a key role in helping the students of the E-Class grow. And special shout out to my favorite character, Bitch-Sensei, the assassin that uses her beauty and seducing skills to overcome her targets. She just makes the show that much funnier.
Overall, I really like how different and unique each of the characters are, but yet they are still all united by one common goal. The show does a great job of developing and showcasing each of them.
My only gripe is that not each character is developed evenly, and some of the side characters barely get any screen time, which is annoying.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I found it very funny, and definitely got a good workout from all the laughing I did. However, much of the humor is derived from slapstick and inappropriate topics, so it definitely isn't for everyone. Even still, the plot and characters are quite intriguing and should still be an enjoyable watch.
Overall:
Unique plot, great characters with good voice acting, and plenty to laugh at.
One of my favorite anime this whole year.
I must say, some of the stuff said on this show should not be uttered by middle schoolers.
