A class of misfits plots to assassinate their whimsical, tentacled, Mach-20-fast teacher before he destroys Earth.
Darkly comic and suspenseful, with absurdist humor. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
Nothing past what a TV-14 promises: some innuendo or implied sex and mild language.
Our estimate: fine from about 13. Rated TV-14.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
The students of Class 3-E have a mission: kill their teacher before graduation. He has already destroyed the moon, and has promised to destroy the Earth if he can not be killed within a year. But how can this class of misfits kill a tentacled monster, capable of reaching Mach 20 speed, who may be the best teacher any of them have ever had?
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
