Plot/Story 10/10
The story was simply amazing, and super creative. I mean, students having to kill their monster teacher while growing a family-like bond with their classmates and teacher at the same time? Super entertaining! Nothing new since season one though, which is good, because the story is greaaaat! *Tony the tigers voice from Frosted Flakes)
Characters/Character Development 20/10
Nope, no mistake in my rating, this deserved well over a 10/10 in the character criteria. We learned a lot about each and every student and teacher involved in this anime, and it was not by any means half-assed. I had not one, but many favorite characters that I was fascinated by, and wanted to see grow throughout the episodes. As a plus, those same favorite characters I had, and the rest of the classroom, was always in sync for some badass strategizing against killing their monster teacher.
Animation/Design 9.5/10
The animations in this anime leave nothing to be wanted, it was pretty damn decent. There was a lot of fight scenes that had a lot going on at the same time, and the animations did not fail to keep up and really give us a feel in each scene. The characters were beautifully designed, and were attractive to see, just like the animations.
Audio/Soundtrack 6/10
I have thousands of good things to say about this anime, but I can’t brag about the soundtracks chosen for this anime. They weren’t horrible, but they definitely weren’t ear candy. Honestly though, you’ll hardly even notice since you’ll be distracted by how entertaining Assassination Classroom is!
Overall 7/10
Overall, I love how this anime ended. A lot of times I’m left unsatisfied with how some anime end, but I had no complaints here. Everything unfolded in the way I wanted them too, and what happened after everything went down was also satisfying to see. I’m very sad this is the end for Assassination Classroom, it was a truly amazing anime.
