Finishing the sequel to the already amazing first season, I didn't think that this season would get any better than the first, but here I am writing this review to express my feelings towards this Anime as it brought me along the journey alongside class 3-E through their school year with Koro-Sensei. The storyline contains many intense, funny, chilling, and relatable moments that really help to shape the Anime on how it turned out. This all leads to the sad ending of Koro-Sensei saying goodbye to the students that he cared dearly for, and students doing likewise, I never expected that kind of ending from a Shonen, which in my opinion sets Assassination Classroom different from the Shonen I've seen before.

Assassination Classroom 2 presents a lot of meaningful messages/life lessons that we could take from the show. An example would be how its okay to fail, Koro-Sensei admits he had many failures throughout his teaching career and that the best thing to do is to learn from your mistakes, something he evidently shows when he brings Kaede back to life, he gained the knowledge to save her after not being able to save Aguri Yukimura. There are countless other messages that have been shown in the anime, which adds to the inspiration that the viewers are able to grasp, just like I did after finishing.
Just as Kurasuma says in the end, the students have changed since the beginning of the year, and not just the students, but the teachers as well. The plot developed the characters in such a way that made every character important to the story in some way shape or form. The misfits of class 3-E grew stronger and closer as a result of their collaboration and learning. The characters are essential to what makes this Anime great.
The opening of this season were phenomenal, with QUESTION being the badass opening and Bye Bye YESTERDAY being the banger that it is while the lyrics touch back to the presence of the Anime. Another thing to point out with the openings was the fact that they were slightly modified after specific episodes, it connected the op back to the following of the Anime, big props to the production for doing that.

It's crazy to think how much has happened in that 1 year, but everything just works out so well. There are some unrealistic parts that were offsetting, but I can't really say that when there's a flying octopus in almost every frame of every episode. Overall, just like the title says, Assassination Classroom brought me through a journey filled with countless emotions, with me learning a lot and gaining inspiration, it will forever be an Anime I hold in my heart.
