Winter 2015 Anime

A tentacled super-creature blows up most of the moon, then makes a deal: he will teach the worst class in school for a year, and if his students cannot assassinate him by graduation, he will destroy the Earth. So begins Class 3-E's strange school year, where the homework is marksmanship, the field trips are ambushes, and the teacher, nicknamed Koro-sensei, is the kindest, fastest and most encouraging educator any of them has ever had. Lerche animated Yusei Matsui's complete manga across two seasons (2015–2016, 47 episodes plus the Episode 0 OVA), and unusually, the anime adapts the manga's ending in full. The compilation film 365 Days (2016), the Koro Sensei Quest spin-off and a brand-new film, Everybody's Time (March 2026), animating chapters the TV series skipped for the 10th anniversary, round out the franchise. Under the comedy sits a story about written-off kids learning their own worth.
