I'm really annoyed with this show. I like myself some good anime and with the premise, this could have gone deep and far, but it stopped right at the premise and played it out in the most cliché ways over 47 episodes. Which I all watched in hope of change.
This is an anime about killing and death. And yet it is treated like dance lessons. It's fun, light and not troublesome at all. Yay, we kill for fun! So it's in its core a dark premise. But this premise is then superficially played out as if it was a standard slice-of-life school anime. The real core of the story, the background of kurosensei, becomes part of the story way to late and hardly adds anything. The resolutions to the problems are all too convenient and lots of big questions remain (if you can cut up the bullets and knives, why not create an airtight trap out of it to kill him? Why is kurosensei dishonest about the way the moon was destroyed?)
I cannot recommend this anime for anyone who is looking for something deep. If you're into fluffy killing attempts, go for it.
