I mean, this little ten minute episode was fine. It kind of shows how Koro-sensei and Karasuma met, but not really, which you'll understand once you watch it. Given that "not really" is a part of how accurate these two characters' first meeting was, I don't think it's sensible to call this a prequel, so if I were you, I wouldn't bother watching it. It's funny enough, but without the element of the kids in the classroom, it doesn't hit the same. This OVA, like the rest of Assassination Classroom, did the more serious/creepy tone very well. But if you came to Assassination Classroom for the humor, there isn't much of it in this OVA. I do think this episode would have been interesting had it been about the moment Koro-sensei stated his intent to teach the E class, but it's not actually necessary to see. So, I suppose this OVA just took the chance to tell a short story as a little precursor to Koro-sensei being introduced to his class. Like I said: it's fine. Nothing remarkable.
