Unique to anime! The tentacle depiction of Kakusei and the powerful description of Mach 20.


Assassination Classroom" began airing in January 2015. It is based on the comic of the same name serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. The author is Matsui Yusei of "Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro," which has also been made into an anime, and with the live-action "Assassination Classroom" scheduled to be released on March 21, some may have first encountered this work through the anime.

The animation staff consists of director Seiji Kishi, series composition by Makoto Uezu, and character design by Kazuaki Morita. They have worked together many times in "Bride of Seto", "Tentai Senshi Sun Red", "AURA: The Last Battle of Maruyuin Koga", "Danganronpa: The School of Hope and the High School Students of Despair The Animation", etc., and they are all in good touch with each other.



After watching the first and second episodes, I felt that the anime was quite orthodox and orthodox in its production. The taste of the anime is very much in line with the original work.

The anime version is more fun because of the "Koro-Sensei," an octopus-like creature. The students call him "Koro-Sensei" because he is a teacher who cannot be killed. His un-terrestrial-like movements are depicted in a fun way that only anime can depict.

For example, his maximum speed is Mach 20. The students are asked, "If an object traveling at Mach 20 really flew into the classroom, wouldn't it destroy the old school building? But the impact of taking off and landing, the feeling of speed when flying, and the manga-like recklessness (laughs), which were difficult to feel in the comics, are clearly expressed in the anime.

For example, the feeling of Kakusei's tentacles. When I was reading the original comic, I wondered what the texture of those "tentacles," which are so different from those of earth creatures, was like. Are they wet, smooth, glutinous, or slimy? ...... In the animation, the "tentacle-like" sound of a slightly damp flopping sound is included mainly by sound as it moves, making it easier to imagine the texture. It is interesting to be able to feel "I see, it's a tentacle!" It is interesting to be able to feel the texture of the tentacles.

The students of Class E are taking lessons from him at the behest of the Japanese government, hoping for an opportunity to assassinate him. The students of Class E are taking lessons from Kakusensee, and are aiming for assassination opportunities.

In the original work's daily scenes, tentacle gags appear frequently in one frame, but in the anime, they are also picked up in great detail. As a result, despite the many unsettling lines, such as "I'm going to kill the teacher" and "I have no choice but to fuck him," Assassination Classroom is a light-hearted school comedy full of humor and laughter between the octopus-shaped teacher and the failing students.
