City with No Name: More like "Country" with No Name. Koro-Sensei was born in a poor and corrupt country that was very hard to live in. The name of said country was left ambiguous. While i enjoy the concept of this super human being threatening to destroy the earth while working as a teacher, the concept is the only Actor Allusion: Yuzuki Fuwa shares the same voice actress and character type of Yako Katsuragi, the heroine and kid detective of the author's previous series. In Episode 19, after deducing who poisoned her classmates, Fuwa mimics Yako's modus operandi by dramatically pointing at him and shouting, "The culprit was you!"

gets most of it's praise from how unique it is, and I won't argue with that. It's a very strange concept that almost makes you forget it's a shonen at points. ALMOST. Being a shonen isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. It just means that it's prone to the flaws of shonen - arcs that are inferior to others. Again, Ansatsu pretty much blows that out of the water though. None of the arcs are inferior to others, which I feel even works against it at a point, when the final arc was just as exhilarating as one from the halfway point. And, most of the arcs follow a common pattern in shonen - bad guy shows up, minor struggle, you beat him, the next bad guy shows up, slightly larger struggle, you beat him, boss shows up, big struggle, you beat him, recovery episode. Which brings me to the ending. From the very beginning, straight out of episode one, you had been waiting for the death of Koro-sensei. The moment was just as filled with sadness as everyone had predicted, it wasn't surprising at all. But looking in the episode discussion, you don't find anybody complaining, even the manga readers were impressed with how well it was handled. In conclusion, Ansatsu is creative, but not quite groundbreaking. Big Bad: Shiro is the most recurrent antagonist Koro-Sensei and his students face over the course of the series, earning this spot by default. Then it's solidified when it's revealed that he's really Yanagisawa, the Mad Scientist who transformed Koro-Sensei from a human into what he now is, making him responsible for the whole series in the first place. Then he and the God of Death, who he makes his Dragon, jointly serve as the Final Boss at the series' climax.

Cerebus Syndrome: Though there are still many moments of comedy, as the series reaches its last half, the tone gradually gets darker, with Koro-sensei's explosion looming on the horizon. Notable incidents include the raid on the Fukuma Palace Hotel to find an antidote for an (apparently) lethal virus that has affected some of the students and the first appearance of the Reaper. Then things get bleaker with the revelations of Kayano's true identity and Koro-sensei's tragic past, leading to internal strife which led to a civil war game. Then, after a brief respite with the Valentine's Day arc, the government, implicitly under the thrall of Shiro/Yanagisawa, concocts a failsafe plan to assassinate Koro-sensei, forcing the class to go through with their deal with Koro-sensei and finally kill him. Even the opening themes between both seasons reflect the shifting tone — cheerful in the first, melancholy in the second.Season 1 of the anime closes with the students enjoying the last evening of their island vacation by having fun at the nearby beach. However, eliminating Koro-sensei is not the only objective the students need to worry about. Gakuhou Asano, the academy's merciless and cruel principal, seeks to prevent Class 3-E's success by brainwashing his other hard-working pupils into ruthlessly competitive studying machines. Hostility begins to linger in the air as traitors and killers alike attempt to claim the bounty on Koro-sensei's head for themselves.

No concessions are made for students no matter their reasons for having poor grades, meaning many of the Class E students are perfectly intelligent and capable, yet are essentially punished for circumstances out of their control.
