Assassination Classroom

Anime Suggestion - Assassination Classroom

Now, we've probably all had a teacher we didn't like too much. Some of us have probably hated a few of our teachers. But, imagine, you have to kill the teacher. And you get paid for it! How much? 10 billion yen (that's 100 million U.S. dollars)!

I hope that gives a bit of perspective on what this anime is.

This anime centers around Nagisa Shiota, a student at a prestigious private school, in class E there. It was supposed to be a normal year for Nagisa and his classmates, until they meet their teacher, who is definitely about as far from normal as you can get.

The octopus-like creature that greets them on their first day of school tells the students he is their teacher for the rest of the year, and that he is also the one responsible for blowing up half of the moon in the previous year. The students are also told by the government that the creature wanted to teach at their school for their class that year, for some odd reason, and that they are the ones tasked with killing him by the end of the school year. If they fail, the creature will blow up the Earth, just like he did with the moon. When the reward of 10 billion yen for whoever kills the creature that is their teacher is announced, class E is changed for that year.

Killing their new teacher proves harder than they believed. Though the students are given special weapons with ammo that can easily slice through his tentacles, they can't manage to hit him at all. Their teacher is extremely intelligent, has an amazing sense of smell, and can travel at up to 20 machs in speed. Because of this, and because their teacher has no name, he is dubbed 'unkillable teacher' or 'Korosensei'.

Watch this anime to find out if these students have the guts or game to take on this special mission!!!
