Evening all
So tonight's series is one that I am hugely surprised but also disappointed in myself that I have never even mentioned this beauty to you all.
Let me humbly introduce to you Assassination Classroom or Ansatsu Kyoushitsu.
I actually watched this a few years ago now entirely by accident. I remember browsing an Anime site and came across a big ass yellow Octopus looking dude and thought, heck I'll check this one out. I wasn't expecting much from it but dayum it was bloody brilliant.
Yes the series does have a big following and is really popular, but I didn't actually realise this until I later looked it up after wondering why I had never heard of it.

The Assassination Classroom series is based in a small derelict building up in the mountains that is a part of the elite Kunugigaoka Middle School. This building houses the Class 3-E, the class for the dropouts, the class failures and the general delinquents that the school want out of the way from the other students.
The whole class is disrespected by their peers in the school, from the other kids to even their teachers. This has led the students in 3-E to give up on trying to even progress in their academic lives.
Then out of the blue, along comes a new teacher with the hopes of helping the class pass and graduate at the end of the year.
Oh, also just to add, their new teacher is this super dangerous monster who is going to destroy the world!
After destroying 70% of the moon, the big tentacled Octopus looking teacher has let the world's governments know that he plans on blowing up Earth in March of next year.
He has asked to teach the Class of 3-E, but he never gave them a reason for this.
The class name the Teacher Koro-Sensei, which is a play on the words Korosenai which means unkillable in Japanese and sensei which is teacher.
The class have been tasked with the assassination of Koro-Sensei, all the while he will be teaching them and helping them learn, which no other teacher has ever been able to.
He does have a penchant for personal grooming, so when people are failing at killing him, he does like to give them a makeover!
With the aid of specific weapons designed for the sole purpose of killing Koro-Sensei, the class have till March to kill him and take home the 20 Billion prize money.
He trains the students in both their academic studies and also their assassin skills to the best of his abilities.
Overall the art style is top of the line and a really good fit for the series. The colour changing Sensei brings some good entertainment to the series.
The comedy is top notch, from the first minute of the first episode it really shows you exactly how the series will proceed. I loved every episode fully.
Now the opening track is pretty fun and upbeat. A thoughly enjoyable one for surehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd-Dkt82F8Q
Now the ending theme Hello Shooting Star is a real unexpected ending to the episode. It's so freaking good though.
A really beautiful song and the voice is amazing, such beauty!
