The story follows a class of underperforming middle schoolers tasked with killing their yellow, tentacled teacher Koro-sensei before he destroys the planet at the end of the school year. The premise mixes slapstick, weapons training, and heartfelt classroom drama, which set the series apart from typical shōnen fare. The manga sold well enough to place as the 7th top-selling series in Japan during 2013 per AnimeNewsNetwork[2]. The 2015 anime adaptation holds an 8.1/10 rating from roughly 30,000 voters on MyAnimeList[1] and an 8.2/10 on IMDb[4].

A Nintendo 3DS game titled Koro-sensei Dai Hōimō launched on March 12, 2015, and a live-action film hit Japanese theaters nine days later on March 21, 2015[3]. A second anime season was greenlit and premiered in 2016. Online fandom scaled up alongside the releases. An official Tumblr page collected fan blogs and reblog content dedicated to the series[5], and FanFiction.net accumulated close to 500 fics tagged to the show[6]. Rating aggregators reflected the same enthusiasm, with MyAnimeList placing Ansatsu Kyōshitsu at rank #420 site-wide[1].
