Assassination Classroom

I think it's more of how he looked a bit dazed and out there... not really caring about that present shackled situation.

Naruto homage where?

And has Yukimura's weird shirt been a thing before this? I seem to have missed it, if it's supposed to be a running gag...

Her shirt came up during one of the flashbacks a few chapters ago.

The only Naruto homage I can think of is the Naruto headband during the first clone tutoring session. Koro-sensei wore headbands with kanji for each person's weak subject, and a Leaf village headband from Naruto for Terasaka, who was weak in many.

Raws out. Shiro is fucked in the head.

Oh, hey, I just realized. The story takes place in the 2014-2015 school year. Which means the timeframe for the assassination has now passed. I guess they won.

So watching the older episodes

Its kinda funny how English in the show is kinda bad but the character who teaches English does still speak best English even if accent is obvious :P But on episode 10, besides Karasuma having pretty awkward English, I have no clue if Lovro was speaking Russian or not. :p I did study Russian for a while(I sucked, like how I suck in all languages I study :( ) so I can ordinarily recognize it, but what Lovro speaks sounds so incomprehensible that while it almost sounds familiar, it mostly doesn't

Edit: Slight correction: Sonic Ninja movie oddly enough has best english in the series, its just accompanied by worst voice acting :P

I don't know what language Lovro was speaking, but the gibberish sounded like a cool, legitimate European language to me. I'm assuming that the cheesy English sounds the same way for the Japanese audience.

Episode 12: The new OP looks like they cut the old one into bits and thew it into a blender. Anyways, it's too bad that they cut out the prep that the girls put together for the basketball match, but it had to be done to fit four chapters into an episode. I think the manga did a better job at making the Chairman seem menacing than the anime did.

While I hope they don't try to squeeze the entire Takaoka arc into one episode, it doesn't seem like it would make a great two-parter like the Kyoto arc. I was hoping they'd pad it with the Art Attack story but it looks like they'll be skipping it next week.

135: Called it. Koro-sensei's purpose is to save the world energy economy by turning matter into antimatter. The explanation for how is kinda bullshit, though. My guess involved a Hand Wave of exotic matter instead of modifying human cells somethingsomethingsomething. The less you try to explain it, the easier it is to suspend your disbelief.

Which probably means that cell degradation and a massive explosion is what'll cause the end of the world if the kids don't kill him.

Incidentally Shiro is a prick.

Dang, I was really hoping it was saving the world from another outside party; energy's already been done a lot. Oh well.

Surprised and horrified that what Shiro meant by 'brother' to Akari back then was they would have been in-laws... This manga doesn't kid around when it comes to who abuse can come from.

So that means Koro-sensei is a living time bomb and he's using his last year of life to teach Class E before he blows up Earth to honor his dead girlfriend's dying wish? Well, that's kind of what we already knew, minus the part he's also going to die.

Really enjoying the flashback, after seeing Koro-sensei's original form, I can't help but have fun imagining him that way while he does his usual antics.

Wow, they really ruined the anime opening.

The way he utilized the Clap Stunner in this chapter was really neat. Now I want to see someone come up with an even more creative way to use it before the series is over.

I'd like to know why Koro-sensei can't just fling himself into space where the explosion won't hurt anybody. Is it even possible for antimatter to create an explosion that could wipe out the solar system?

It's a little unclear what might qualify as "destroying the solar system", but starting small...Earth's gravitational binding energy is on the order of 10^32 joules, so to rip apart the Earth into gravitationally unbound chunks would need about 10^16 kg of antimatter at least. Which is rather a lot, though still puny compared to anything on a planet's scale...Wikipedia gives that order of magnitude as about the size of some asteroids, or the total carbon content of Earth organisms. (We'll just handwave the utter bullshit about how Yanagisawa's experiment is supposed to magically use biology to bypass conservation of energy.) If you just want to melt Earth you'd need substantially less energy. To destroy the solar system you'd probably need a lot more, thought it may depend on the definition of "destroy".

TL;DR: ITT we get nerd-sniped.

Yanagisawa seems to be too much of an asshat and an idiot compared to Shiro though. Shiro was more of a "below-the-surface sadistic" type, and he generally seemed to have better plans than Yanagisawa displays.

That thing of Shirou and Kayano being in-laws got me thinking: Itona and Korosensei were refered to as brothers because they both had tentacles. Kayano also had tentacles, which makes her Itona and Koro's sister. Aguri was Kayano's sister. Your sister's sister is your sister. Therefore, Korosensei is a Siscon.

Also I really hope they explain why growing antimatter on your body gives you a fixation for breasts and candy.

^^^ I figured it was because he didn't want to. He's a mass murderer. At the very least he'd rather fulfill whatserface's request than go die for a bunch of people he doesn't care about.

she should have made a more specific request lol

"Let me tell what you need to do...You need to sit him down... you look him dead in the eye, and you say 'Don't Blow Up My Planet.'" - Councilor Nappa

That would neatly explain how Yukimura kicked the bucket. Even if he is a mass murderer, it's pretty hard not to like the cut of his jib.

@ashnazg: Shiro went through the trouble of wearing a voice changer to hide his identity, so maintaining a different personality to keep up the disguise doesn't seem out of the question.

Or maybe his character just naturally changed over time. A lot can happen in two years.

But it's more likely that Shiro ends up the hilariously exaggerated psycho just 'cause.

Seriously, what a nutter, smacking people with a iPad

Finally to Takaoka.

finally decided to catch up on the anime. Did Nagisa's seiyu change? Nagisa sounds way different in the later eps than he did in the earlier ones.

Takaoka was disappointing. I was expecting the "smiling like walking to a normal" part would be narrated by a really freaked out Takaoka and then they would increase tension with a sequence of Nagisa a slow-mo side-scrolling walk.

Gakuho's part was perfect though.

No complaints about the duel onwards, but compared to the original, the buildup was really lacking.

Guess it can't be helped if they want to make it to the island in time.

Same voice actress. I guess it took her a while to settle into his role.

I still think I prefer the dub (mostly because Sonny Strait nails Korosensei better than Jun does, albeit Jun does the laugh better) but Nagisa's seiyu sounds pretty alright now.

The anime is starting to piss me off. Maehara's chapters got axed. Fine, I can understand that. But Sugaya's? Why!? Because of the henna tattoos? That's just asinine! I don't care what connotation tattoos have in Japanese culture. And now Kataoka's too!? Sugaya's and Maehara's they might be able to go back and do later, but they can't fit hers in just anywhere. I am very disappoint.
