However, Class 3-E is actually a cover up for the Japanese government in their attempt to kill Koro-sensei, a tentacled mutant creature that apparently is responsible for the Moon's destruction. Meanwhile, Nagisa Shiota, a ninth-grade student of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, narrates of how he came to be sent to the situation he is in: he is included in Class 3-E, which is reserved for delinquents and other undesirables of the school and is a laughing stock among the school. And that laugh.Oh the laugh.The movie opens with the Japanese military's failed attempt to capture whoever it is that has destroyed over 70% of the Moon, which sees the entire squad sent to capture it being attacked by a mysterious tentacled being. Ninomiya Kazunari's voice acting is nothing short of amazing. It got to the point where I totally forgot my J-pop husband was even voicing the character of Korosensei. Expect it to be the 3D version of an indepth essay about the story and characters and you'll fail. See it as a highlights reel, the important dot points, in the anime and you'll be fine. It proves that you CAN take a scene from an anime, bring it into the third dimension and not suck the life out of it. There are plenty of 'in' jokes for fans, as well as genuine laugh out loud moments for everyone to enjoy.

I can't say I was thrilled with what may have been spoilers, but I guess that's the way the tentacle melts. It's all the things we've learned so far, with a few extras thrown in. If you enjoy the movie, as a newcomer, then you're going to really love the anime.įor fans, I think the best way to watch this film like it's revision in the lead up to the next season of the anime (due out next year!). But I hope the movie leads them to consider picking up the manga or watching an episode or two of the anime. I don't know whether it will be enough for them to really enjoy it. Newcomers to Assassination Classroom are going to get a great surface view. Things could have been better, okay?Īdaptations are rarely going to contain everything we need.
