The Axis of Anime: ‘Assassination Classroom’

If you are into action science fiction comedy, we have the type of anime for you.

“Assassination Classroom” is about a class called 3-E, the lowest class in Kunugigaoka junior high, and everyone hates them, but supernatural events go on in the class.

There is a once human who was tested on and turned into an octopus. His name is Koro Sensei, and he is teaching the students in 3-E.

Another teacher, Karasuma, is an assassin under the government because if the students don’t kill Koro Sensei by the end of the year, he will blow up the Earth. Karasuma joined 3-E as a teacher to help train them to kill the Koro Sensei.

Koro Sensei has amazing powers. He moves at mach 20 speed, notices the tiniest details, and has the nose of a bloodhound. That makes it very hard for the students to kill him.
