I watched the English dub of Assassination Classroom (Season1) on Funimation and I have to say that it has to be one of my favorite shows. My favorite thing about it I think has to be the way that each character’s abilities are highlighted. One character may not be good at English, but they’re really good at maths and science, such as Manami Okuda. Using her as an example, the show highlights her talents and gives her character a purpose rather than being just like every other student. It even highlights the background characters and gives them each their own personality. This show is very well thought out and is really addictive.
Although I do think it is a little silly all of the porn references, it may not be the best pick to watch in front of your family. With that aside, it is one of my top favorites and I can’t wait to watch Season 2.
I myself am quite the fan of dubbed anime because it allows me to focus on other things, such as drawing, while the show goes on. This is one of the shows that I enjoyed so much that I’d be willing to rewatch it or even rewatch it subbed. I feel like it would be interesting to see how different the conversations are, especially with how well-thought out this show is. In the end, I’m really excited to keep watching and I hope that the ending doesn’t disappoint me.
As cliche as it is, I think my favorite characters are likely Nagisa and Karma. I’m also quite fond of Hayami and think that her character design is quite pretty.
SEASON ONE SPOILERS:
I also just overall enjoy how the adults are introduced and there are quite a few plot twists, especially the bad villain at the end turning out to be one of the adults you had met previously. Also the three assassins under his wing that had a good heart and didn’t want to harm the kids, that was really nice to see and it made the ending so much more sweeter. Though that there is a Season2, I’m assuming that the kids actually find a way to kill Koro-Sensei, I really hope that it doesn’t come to that. Throughout the season you see each of the kids develop their own personal connection to the students. Okuda was doing chemistry with him, Sugino found hope in his pitching again because of him… he is just a great motivator. Even Nagisa mentioned that it is going to be hard to kill him morally because he has been an amazing teacher to them. Not only teaching them in ways no other teacher would try, but also giving them the hope that they had lost as soon as they’d been shipped off to Class E. The thought of Koro-Sensei dying is heartbreaking to me but at the same time, I feel as though it would make an interesting ending for the show.
