ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM #1 -- Special Review


We're sampling all the new pilots this Winter. Check out our thoughts on...



Sometimes, anime fandom’s tastes leave me utterly befuddled. This is one of the most anticipated shows this season? Certainly, it isn’t as awful as HETALIA, but it’s definitely on the curve. I can only hope that doing an image search on “classroom assassination” hasn’t put me on any FBI alert lists…


Invoking Walpaw’s Law was so solidly due, this time. The opening scene here was so mind-melting stupid, there was no way it was going to get better. Maybe it was just the premise. Or maybe it was the strange way our gooey yellow mascot’s hands/tentacles tended to look like the kind of cock ‘n balls the weird kid in reading class would draw all over the back leaf of his composition notebook. This felt like what you’d get if you watched BATTLE ROYALE with a stick of Elmer’s glue crammed up your nose.


== TEASER ==

There are plenty of wonderfully bizarre shows that weave weirdness together with a surrealist’s touch. And then there are shows like this. Just keep pulling details out of the cornhole. Hope one of them will shock you. These kids… their teacher’s a smiley face octopus! And they’ve got to kill him! With automatic weapons!!! And he blew up the moon! Please be freaked out by how strange we are!


Yeah, I’m not wasting any more time thinking about this goopy run-off. Next, please!


Watch this pilot and decide for yourself.
