Some ingredients for a great anime include, but are not limited to; exceptional children, a nearly undefeatable enemy, plots to destroy the world, extreme training arcs, comedic relief, some fan service, life lessons, and of course great friendships. Assassination Classroom has all of these things and more. It isn’t the most complicated story, though it certainly has deeper moments, and doesn’t have the most beautiful art but it's still definitely well worth the time to watch it. The show promises fun, death, and assassination, on each front it redefines success, and then meets both its own goal and the preconceived goals of the audience.
