I love everything about this series, I don't watch much anime I'm just a toonami casual, but my one question is why is the main a trap? Like I've heard he straight up crossdresses later and he has this crazy mom that wishes he was a girl
what does that add to the series? I don't see how that narritavely gels with the assassinate Kurosensi plot.
That said...Nagisa gives me strange and confusing feelings that make me angry and want to lash out at my loved ones....what are these feelings bros...
He's the best assassin because he's a coldblooded killer disguised as a girl and can walk right up to people without them noticing he has the intent to kill.

How about actually watching the series and finding out yourself?
Charles Watson
It took me at least halfway through the first episode to realize he was a boy and not a girl.
Justin Foster
ME TOO I googled hentai of him immediately and I was like , why are they making this cute new anime girl a futa already?
Elijah Brooks
>what does that add to the series? As you'll find out; all roads lead back to assassination
Ethan Ross
I was actually kind of disappointed by how few crossdressing works of him there were on sadpanda
Bentley Torres
This was so boring and unfunny
Jaxson Richardson
the MCs personality doesn't have to be a cookie cutter to fit the overarching plot also accept or stop being gay
Elijah Richardson
koro-sensei got a few laughs out of me, did not like the weird gigantic side cast of barely developed humans

I'm also finally watching the show because of Toonami, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Same here, just finished it. I really wish they did better with the pacing on revealing everything about the octopus. I was asking why the fuck he was doing any of this the entire fucking series until the last few episodes just dump the whole prequel at once. I assumed he was pissed at the world because a girl he liked got killed in a lab so he said screw it, worlds getting reset, but then that didn't line up with just how invested he was in the kids futures I almost feel like the writer didn't really have an answer and finally made up the entire back story all at once after realizing the octopus still had no clear motivation to do any of this

I'm pretty sure the character of Nagisa contributed towards my former roommate becoming a tranny.
Literally a couple episodes in I knew the only reason the earth would be at stake was if he was a ticking time bomb, and it was also easy to guess that he was former human who was an assassin. The manga has more hints that the girl who died was the previous 3-E homeroom teacher but they were cut from the anime. I think it was a very solid story from start to finish.
Leo Hill
Unironically one of the best Shonen Jump MCs of all time.
I tried watching this thinking it would be a cool shounen about actually trying to kill the teacher, but season 1 finally made the teacher the good guy and the class about friendship and other faggotry. I wanted bloodthirsty killing not MlP:FiM
Literally what you are describing is exactly what I was afraid this series would be like and the reason I avoided it for years. I am sad I missed out on something so wholesome this entire time.
Did ass class adapt the story to completion? How was the adaptation?

>what does that add to the series? I don't see how that narritavely gels with the assassinate Kurosensi plot. Nothing? that's the the good part that's common in Japanese series.
They often give characters absolutely random attributes that have no plot point — in U.S.A. media it often feels like that a character needs a reason to not be a white adult healthy standard, U.S.A.-born male and if that not be the case it must somehow tie into the character.
In Classroom of the Elite, there's also a character that's clearly disabled and walks with a cane but it has no plot relevance and nothing would change if the character weren't — I like that.
Though in Days of Future Past, they did randomly make Bolivar Trask a dwargh that was also never brought up and not relevant to the plot, a character who just happens to have some unmentioned growth disorder — I like it.
Jason Evans
Yes, it’s the complete series. A few chapters focusing on other students were cut and a part near the end of the series was pretty drastically condensed (but I actually think the change was good for pacing). The official manga translation is godawful but I recommend reading it if you can because anime cuts out a number of small details and I think those details are what make it stand out from so many other series. You can tell a lot of thought was put into it.
Brayden Edwards
Cool. I'll have to check out the anime then, thanks.
Matthew Lewis
But... the way Nagisa looks DOES become important to understanding his character and tying into the overall plot later on in the series.
Jacob Hernandez
Nagisa is the only boy i would be gay for.
Jose Ward
That could really be any parental mistreatment, however.
It also seems like a fairly strange explanation. A parent being mad at a child's gender does not make the child magically a short girlish boy that even stays short well into adulthood.
I like these kinds of “semi traps” more where “trap” doesn't become the character's entire identity.
