Ansatsu Kyoushitu, or Assassination Classroom (AssClass) finally has an anime! How has no one talked about this yet? Travesty! It's like my favorite current manga.

Plot Summary: The story of how Nagisa slowly becomes a badass, while occasionally getting shipped with Karma.

Well, as much as that is true, it goes more along the lines of: An octopus-shaped not-technically-an-alien alien destroys the moon and then announces to the world that he's going to destroy the world in a year. However, he's going to give the Earth a chance to kill him on the condition that he be allowed to teach at a certain very discriminatory, socially stratified, darwinistic middle school in, you guessed it, Japan. So the students have to become mini-assassins, trying to kill their teacher while also going about their 'normal' school life.

It's mostly a strange sort of school life/slice of life show that derives most its awesomeness from the bizarre juxtaposing of a relatively normal school life setting with the cool assassination related stuff they have to undertake.
Watch/read, be amazed.

I really like this manga, Koro-sensei is awesome and it's very... Shonen Jump-ey.

I have high expectations for this one, and first EP was kinda good, so I'm not worried.

If you haven't watched it already, there was a ~37m ova that came out last november.

Es bueno, am looking forward to more episodes.

Oh yeah that ova. I forget what it was about but i remember watching it.
I feel like Kayano should get Nagisa's voice, while

should get someone with a bit deeper of a voice. I'll probably get over it soon enough though.

I actually really like Nagisa's voice. It's a good setup for some of the gags later.

It does, but the gags do leave a bad taste in your mouth, retrospectively, because of what was revealed in the recent chapters.

Oh; I didn't know that was coming THIS season. Far as I knew One Punch Man was the only thing airing this season I had any interest in.

Also it's strange because I usually hate this sort of genre, but it's so absurd and the characters are good and it's not the generic moeblob romance school setting for this sort of genre that it's cool.

Honestly; Classroom has quickly become one of my fave mangas; been following it since around chapter 15.

I dunno, I just saw a chart of anime this season and it was on it. This was like 2 weeks ago. Maybe what I saw was a fake, or a mistake [mistranslation maybe?] because looking at a chart now I can't find it, and I can't find anything about it now I'm actually LOOKING.

On the other hand this list has things I didn't see before. Like Jojo has apparently started back up. I thought this was later. Also a nostalgia bomb I already knew about is coming in Spring. But that's not for this thread.

Now I'm depressed. And not depressed. At the same time.

Also I'm such a noob at Anime lists, that I thought that this was the Spring 2015 season, when it's actually Winter 2015.

I've been reading the manga and I like the adaptation so far. The OP animation is kinda repetitive and annoying, but the song is cool.

Plus they manage to differentiate well enough between Nagisa and Kayano's hair enough to tell them apart this time!

Mеа · « **Reply #10 on:** February 01, 2015, 08:05:29 AM »

Aaaaaah Karma!!! :* Why are you so glorious??
And omg, why this show is getting awesome voice actors.
Karasuma: Kyon
Koro-Sensei: Lelouch
Bitch-Sensei: Wilhelmina
Kayano: Mako (Kill la Kill)
Board Chariman: Sho Hayami!?
Karma: Accelerator

Especially that last one, I cannot think of anything more fitting. It's only been 2 more episodes and it's already starting to get good. And what the hell was that nut thing? Kunudon wth?? Like totalitarian state propaganda. They also switched Hayami's line about Karasuma being cool to Yada for some reason. But Kurahashi keeps her line!!
I'm really hoping Kurahashi get's some good screentime with Karasuma. There's not enough fanart of it!! It's ship them, sorry Bitch-sensei.

Edit:
Ok so according to the recent manga chapter release, we find out who's voicing Itona and Ritsu:
Itona: Shinji!??
Ritsu: Akagi (KanColle), Ruri (DRRR)
I'm like, eeehhh?? Shinji as Itona? But she's also done Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura and Yami Yugi, so I guess it could work. Personally I liked him more when he was rocking that awesome tank top, but he's still cool.

Holy.Shit.

All the foreshadowing I never noticed.

Sahgren · « **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2015, 04:39:06 PM »

It really was my favorite type of reveal: the type that makes you look back and see all of the events leading up to it in a different light. Makes me think that the author has been planning this for a looong time.

Just when I felt this character didn't have as much exposure as I thought, baboom.

I dunno I found the foreshadowing a little vague. Although her reluctance to swim before makes sense suddenly.

It just raises the question: SINCE WHEN.

There's actually a ton of subtle foreshadowing, some as early as in the 20s chapters. One of the major ones being

Spoiler:

. Along with a slew of minor details that combined are really suspicious when you start thinking about it. And apparently there were some theories that predicted this for a while due to said suspicious details. Just google and I think you'd find some. I think the character entry on dic.pixiv.net has the most collected so far that I know of.

Lol there's already a new pixiv tag called, appropriately enough, Chapter 128 Shock.

Also apparently Matsui Yuusei (the author) himself made a comment recently, saying "this is the start of the true Assassination Classroom". Omg so much hype. And dread. This, coming from the guy who wrote Majin Tantei Neuro.

Also you might want to spoiler that second sentence, it's a bit incriminating.

I couldn't watch today's episode without glaring at that character the whole time.

I think I'm shocked.

Ikr? Suddenly I'm aware of their presence, like I'm constantly checking what they're doing.

I'm of the opinion that Red Eye can only be voiced by Lockon Stratos. I'll be terribly disappointed if they miss this opportunity.

Mеа · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2015, 10:43:35 AM »

Welp new episodes and new chapters.

Red Eye is too underused for being cool. I feel like he should tutor the sniper duo.

This week's chapter didn't really give out any interesting info, except maybe the link with

Spoiler:

. Guess next week is the bomber. Well that and I guess he did mention that those who

Spoiler:

And hurray for anime original scenes! We see Kanzaki getting tickled, Nagisa being asked who he voted for, and Kurahashi saying that she likes Karasuma. I'm guessing based on Nagisa's reaction that he did actually place a vote in. I ordered the character info book, which I hope will be getting in sometime this next week, which I hope will say who voted for who. And omg NagiKae is so precious, it's even better when it's animated.

And someone pointed this out, but the ending song might be referring to....

edit:
Chapter 131

Spoiler:

Episode 9 was pretty good too. Also apparently she gave her voice for Hatsune Miku, oh what? Her computing animation and turning on and off after talking was pretty cool.
Liars should be cut in half.

Raikaria · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2015, 12:23:37 AM »

131/132

My god.

I think that's the best type of that scene I've seen.

Especially when you realize what the reaction means in this situation.

I'm being deliberately vague because spoilers. But anyone who's read those chapters should know what I mean.

Even more, Nagisa gets a critical 15th hit. It takes Bitch-sensei 30hits to down Nagisa; it takes Nagisa 15hits xCritical to down said person. I'm getting a lot of ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE vibes here.
