Assassination Classroom - Season 2

I liked the first season better if for no other reason than that it was more lighthearted, there was more humor in it. Here, it legitimately heats up as the story wraps up, and they have to kill or not kill Koro-sensei. Instead of lightness and humor, which we had a very pleasant amount of in the previous season, we get more drama, explanations of the hitherto unexplained, and some episodes that just feel like fillers, like "enjoy the characters while there's time, the shop is closing soon" and they felt really long to me, even unnecessary, as the first season had already introduced us to the characters enough. On the other hand, there are some captivating moments in this season as well – Karma vs Nagisa, for example. The ending is satisfying, explaining everything, and giving the reader a really big space to say goodbye to the characters. It's weaker, I wasn't enjoying it so much anymore and there were moments where I was downright bored, but altogether it's only a few minutes out of the entire season. It just didn't have that magic for me anymore. Still, above average and definitely fun for the whole family. (02.07.2016)

In terms of quality, the second season of Assassination Classroom keeps the standard set by the first season. In terms of the narrative, there is a focus on more important things that enhance the overall impression of the show, in my opinion. I am getting answers to the most interesting questions, and those answers are just as great as I wanted them to be. I already know who Koro-sensei is. His backstory is very good; the relationships constantly evolve, and I found the fight between Karma and Nagisa entertaining. The action scenes are still very good. I enjoyed the show’s humor, the characters, and their behavior, in general. I also think the narrative, in particular, is really well-executed. 9/10. (15.02.2016)
