Something weird is coming this winter! We’ve been rolling out some fun little teasers for our announcement today, but now it’s time for the real deal–FUNimation has acquired the rights for the highly anticipated Assassination Classroom!
Assassination Classroom will be joining our FUNimation Winter 2015 Simulcast Season! First episode will be available on January 9th at 1pm ET with new episodes following every Friday at 12:20pm ET.
Don’t want to wait to watch Assassination Classroom? You can get exclusive access to all the hottest anime shows of the season; some as early as one-hour after they broadcast in Japan! Start your FUNimation Streaming Service 14-day free trial today!
Please visit http://funimation.com/assassination-classroom for more information about the series.
synopsis:
Forget about homework and pop quizzes. The students of Class 3E have a far more important assignment: kill their teacher before the end of the year! A tentacle-d sensei that moves at Mach 20 is out to conquer the classroom after destroying seventy percent of the moon. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, the murderous monster behind the lectern will teach his students everything he knows about the assassination game. Should some eager beaver prove to be a quick study in killing, he or she will save Earth from extinction – and collect a hefty reward. But they’d better take some serious notes while class is in session because their slaughtering sensei has eight deadly tentacles just waiting to wreak havoc on humanity!
What do you think of our first announcement? Stay tuned for more!
If you were paying attention to our Vine account today, we posted some teasers for the announcement! Check ’em out below.
Funny that some people thought it was Parasyte.
Please dub it while its airing!
I second this!
I agree with Ash
Will you guys be using Vine to tease more announcements for the Winter season? Maybe make it part of a contest?
We’ve got some other creative ways to announce the other titles, but not another Vine video. But we’re going to try to use the account more in the future! So definitely keep an eye on it.
If this gets dubbed Jamie Marchi as Irina Jelavic please and thank you. 🙂
FUNIMATION YOU FURTHER MAKE YOURSELF THE BEST COMPANY IN MY HEART!! :’D Assassination Classroom is made by Matsui Yusei, my most favorite mangaka, and having this manga animated was something I really looked forward to for next year. AND NOW YOU LICENSE IT AND I’M JUST CRYING BECAUSE YOU GUYS LICENSING THIS IS JUST A DREAM COME TRUE ☆~~ヾ(>▽<)ﾉ｡･☆
And when this gets dubbed, I'm definitely buying it.
My most anticipated show of the year and one of my favourite manga for two years. Glad to see someone acquired it for streams though the lack of UK access (hard to help I suppose) leaves something to be desired… At least for the trailers.
Since I can ask for nothing else (definitely not the show), why do FUNimation lock away their trailers when other companies don’t?
I don’t know if these are weird choices him, but I can definitely imagine ether Robert McCollum or Sonny Strait as Koro Sensei. Those are just my choices, who do you guys think will good for Koro Sensei in English?
John Swasey seems like a safe and logical choice to me.
I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine John Swasey as Koro Sensei even if he uses his Lord Death voice from Soul Eater. Please don’t get mad at me, that’s just my opinion. I not saying your choice is bad, but I just can’t imagine him for Koro Sensei. To be completely honest I don’t know any voice actors that can be a perfect choice for Koro Sensei, but if John Swasey does get the role I will definitely give him a chance. I bet if Assassination Classroom does get dubbed that they’ll get Vic Mignogna.
I actually feel Anthony Bowling would be a better choice, he has played a smart intellectual character and a perverted monkey. If you were to combine the two you would get Korosensei.
Good choice, I think that he’ll be a great voice for Koro Sensei. I can’t believe that I never thought about that before. Okay then besides Koro Sensei, what do you think will be a good dub cast for Assassination Classroom? I’m really curious to know what you think a good dub cast would be?
@animefan850
My choices for the dub as follows:
Kurasuma-sensei-Christopher R Sabat (He is basically Giroro from Sgt. Frog in a human body.)
Irina Jelavić – Luci Christian (Her characters always have a little bit of arrogance and humor that would be perfect this character. Think of Yuko from xxxHolic.)
Nagisa- Brina Palencia (The only voice actress I know can sound like a small boy and sound genuine, and still give a good performance, see Ciel Phantomhive.)
To be continued.
Karma-Todd Haberkorn (Arrogant, fan favorite, I can’t think of anyone else.)
Kaede Kayano- Monica Rial (She can play a lovable female lead, change into raging lunatic at a split second. With this character’s inferiority complex that makes her a bit volatile every time it’s brought up. I can see no other option.)
CORRECTION! Colleen Clinkenbeard instead of Luci Christian for some reason I got them mixed up in my head. Sorry.
@Welsh95
Nice cast, I really like the idea of Brina Palencia as Nagisa. You’re really good at making up voice casts. I hope that FUNimation does a simul dub for this like they did for Psycho-Pass 2 & Laughing Under the Clouds. I don’t care who they cast, except if they pick Vic Mignogna for Koro Sensei. My ideal cast might probably be.
Sonny Strait as Koro Sensei
Brina Palencia as Nagisa Shiota
Robert McCollum as Tadaomi Karasuma
Monica Rial as Kaede Kayano
Jamie Marchi as Irina Jelavic
I like your ideas, especially you use voice actors that have a good history, and are not one of the go to voice actors when they dub, which I feel is one of Funimation’s biggest flaws. It just gets boring when you hear the same voices over and over again. Also, I approve of the idea of the voice actor of Hughes from FMA as Koro-sensei. I am anxious who they decide to use, we’ll just have to watch and find out.
I was thinking Chuck Huber as Koro-Sensei (something like Kululu in Sgt. Frog). I agree with Chris Sabat as Karasuma and Jamie Marchi as Irina. Chances are that the newer voice actors are going to be playing some of the more important roles as well, but then again this show has oodles of characters.
I’m sorry but I can’t imagine Chuck Huber as Koro Sensei or Chris Sabat as Tadaomi Karasuma. I’m not saying your choices are bad, I’m just telling my own personal opinion. Everybody has their own opinion and I’m just telling you mine, please don’t get mad and take the wrong way.
Mayby Chris Sabot. I really hope they simal dub this show as well.
find a gaming company to partner up with and dub/translate the 3ds game thats releasing at the end of the anime in japan.. youll know itll get a good US audience 😀
Assassination Classroom has been announced to get a broadcast dub.
