The
story resumes in the sequel as the second semester begins at KunugigaokaJunior
High School. Only six months left till doomsday, and Class 3-E is making no
headway in assassinating their homeroom teacher, whom they have nicknamed UT,
or “UnkillableTeacher”. Besides, the class seems to have developed an
extraordinary bond with UT.
The
time limit for the assassination is approaching fast but the students are still
struggling to make a decision about what to do as they also face their own
conflicts. Meanwhile, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
The
children of Class-E suffer from Graduation‘s same single-minded focus, as
assassination attempts turn into government conspiracies and evaluations of
survival. Without the challenging task of taking down UT, typical school
children find themselves in a much more mundane environment.
Story
continues with the students' own conflicts, Koro Sensei's identity and the fate
of the world as the time limit for assassination is approaching.
It is impossible to condense the manga into a movie while retaining every single detail, so I wasn’t surprised that the whole International Space Station arc was not in the movie.
ReplyDeleteAnother major omission in the movie was the absence of the current God of Death.
Assassination Classroom was more a hybrid between alien invasion chaos and kicked-around underdog dramatics, Graduation works to dismiss assumptions from the first film, and shed light on UT’s existence. In short, there’s actually no alien mythology at all, as scientific research into energy-harnessing tentacles turned a skilled assassin into the inflated smiley face responsible for Class-E’s training.
ReplyDeleteThe comparison between both films is inevitable, but Nagisa shows the biggest character growth across both movies, demonstrating why he’s the top student in Koro-sensei’s (Kazunari Ninomiya) class.
ReplyDelete“Assassination Classroom 2” retains the quirkiness of the first film, but this time it’s more grounded in character. The teachers might be over the top in their silliness and the students might be downright weird, but in the end, it’s all for a greater purpose. It’s done for laughs and for tears, going against the usual depiction of such quirkiness.
