Assassination Classroom Episode 2 暗殺教室 Anime Review

A STRANGE PROMISE 

This week's episode kicks off with another assassination attempt by the students on their teacher, in which they fail again. Assassination Classroom has many characters and though their development has yet to be start, it some how begins with Sugino in this episode. He is shown as someone who has a lot of interest in baseball and though he might not be as good as his idol, Koro-sensei is shown encouraging him and telling that he might even surpass his baseball idol. This really shows how much Koro-sensei cares about his students.

In previous episode Koro-sensei was shown talking to woman, presumably someone who he loved and made a promise to, at this moment its not sure what exactly the promise was but it certainly involves that taking his students seriously. We are also shown a small glimpse of someone who looked like the head of the government body concerning this creature, and even that person seemed to give more priority to those student's studies, interesting.


Moving on to the most important part of this episode, the irony. This episode shows how Class-E is seen by others, a class of failures and losers. The best part is that advertisement about the Academy which talks about equality but in reality its discrimination against a certain branch of students. For example Sugino was kicked out from baseball club after he was moved to Class-E so that he could focus more on studies. But after the students came close to killing Koro-sensei in a very funny scene, the students celebrated joyously. Though they failed but came mighty close to something they thought was impossible! Though being classified as losers, they were more happier than those at the academy who were in constant struggle to excel to avoid moving to Class-E. I really like how this was executed.

At the end of the episode we are introduced to another student who was suspended for reasons unknown to us. His suspension is about to get over and he'll be shifted to Class-E and join the assassins. From how this whole part was set up, he is likely to be our main Protagonist but either way, he seemed interested in this whole idea of killing the teacher. Another interesting note is that our main character, Nagisa is shown taking notes about any peculiarity or weakness of Koro-sensei, I'm sure that's gona come in handy in the near future. Overall, an awesome episode, lots of funny scenes and plot development, certainly on the right track for surprise of this season. Thank you for reading this anime review, have a wonderful day or night wherever you live! Thoughts? let me know in the comments below.

    1. Could be, he might turn on his students or something. But honestly I think the promise he made was to get the best out of those E class students and get rid of that whole discrimination against them. But to blow up the moon for that is a bit crazy XD
