I had my doubts about this show at the beginning. Showcasing Koro-sensei's invulnerability was getting old for three episodes straight. Frankly being so powerful there's not much more do with him besides showing his supremacy. Once they got around to exploring other characters however things got a lot more fun. Bitch-sensei, Ritsu and the baseball game have been thoroughly enjoyable.

The encoders should really give a higher bitrate to the OP however. It's cancerous.

I kinda enjoyed this first season, however, it´s just dumb how friendly the whole E-class has grown towards Koro-sensei. He WILL blow up earth, if they fail to murder him. That´s just too drastic of a potential outcome to harbor such intimate feelings.

What I was wondering is why they had such a problem playing the baseball team. I would have expected that, due to their daily assassination training, they´d obliterate the regular baseball team. Strength, speed, precision ... that should all go in favor of the E-class. Ah, well.

Quick bump over here... this any worth watching?

I tried the first episode when it came out, but I didn't seem like much to me. But I'm seeing if it's worth rethinking that notion if any of you have continued watching, particularly as it's on a 2nd season as it is.

I read the manga and it's pretty funny. Aside from that, nothing special.

I enjoy it. Pretty good attention to detail. This would go under the psychological subgenre within shounen, in my opinion.
