Assassination Classroom (2013–2016)
7/10
Mediocre First Season but the Final Season made up for it. Decent watch overall.

Favorite Episode: Secret Identity Time

Didn't like it at first but the final season improved the show. There's a lot of characters; many of them end up being 1 or 2-dimensional: Terasaka was the ex-bully stubborn brute, karma the genius edgelord who goes with the flow, Ryunosuke the sniper, with some exceptions like Kaede. This show's biggest pitfalls is its lapses in logic, too many instances to list but direct plotholes: Lovro being killed by the reaper yet showing up alive a couple of episodes later, Koro-sensei blocking the reaper's bullet for Karasuma and somehow procuring fruit juice in prison to mimick Karasuma's blood. Deus ex Machina's: Koro-sensei's "ultimate defense form" pulled out of thin air for that one moment the students almost killed him, the entire cell regeneration sequence near the end to save Kayano (thematically works, plotwise doesn't). And general absurdities: the clapping technique used by Nagisa to win nearly all his toughest encounters, seriously clapping in trained professional's faces to win? Irina getting a slap on the wrist after tricking and nearly killing the whole class because "that's just part of assassination". Karma throwing his fight with Nagisa because Nagisa beat him in martial arts yet using the knife to win the match would have been a fair way for karma to win etc. Overall a decent watch with stretches of mediocrity and a ton of flaws.
