Forget about homework and pop quizzes. The students of Class 3E have a far more important assignment: kill their teacher befoe the end of the year! A tentacle sensei that moves at Mach 20 is out to conquer the classroom after destroying seventy percent of the moon. In addition to reading, writing and arithmeticm the murderous monster behind the lectern will teach his students everything he knows about the assassination game. Should some eager beaver prove to be a quick study in killing, he or she will save the earth from extinction and collect a hefty reward. But they’d better take some seriouse notes while class is in session becuase their slaughtering sensei has eight deadly tentacles just waiting to wreak havoc on humanity! (FUNimation Entertainment)

Assassination Classroom (2015)
I haven't seen such an entertaining anime in a long time. I absolutely loved the yellow octopus teacher's brand of humor and had fun with him as he teased not only the students, but also the governments of various countries. It had suspense, friendship, action, good dialogue, and an interesting story that had me so caught up that I had to watch it twice. I just loved it. I can't wait for the sequel, although as a true enthusiast I've already managed to spoil everything that will be in it.

Season 2 (2016) (S02)
I liked the first season better if for no other reason than that it was more lighthearted, there was more humor in it. Here, it legitimately heats up as the story wraps up, and they have to kill or not kill Koro-sensei. Instead of lightness and humor, which we had a very pleasant amount of in the previous season, we get more drama, explanations of the hitherto unexplained, and some episodes that just feel like fillers, like "enjoy the characters while there's time, the shop is closing soon" and they felt really long to me, even unnecessary, as the first season had already introduced us to the characters enough. On the other hand, there are some captivating moments in this season as well – Karma vs Nagisa, for example. The ending is satisfying, explaining everything, and giving the reader a really big space to say goodbye to the characters. It's weaker, I wasn't enjoying it so much anymore and there were moments where I was downright bored, but altogether it's only a few minutes out of the entire season. It just didn't have that magic for me anymore. Still, above average and definitely fun for the whole family.
