Film School Rejects awarded it a score of B+, saying "Assassination Classroom is an absolute blast that not only survives its ridiculous setup but makes something truly special with it."[8] We Got This Covered awarded it three and a half out of five, saying "Assassination Classroom is heartwarming J-Pop mayhem that tells of an alien schoolteacher who plans to destroy humanity, and the class of misfits who must kill him before graduation. Just soak that in."[9] Twitch Film said "This was the lighthearted and feel good Japanese film I was waiting for all festival long."[10] Otaku USA was more negative, saying "as a piece of storytelling, Assassination Classroom felt more like a series of non-cohesive chapters than a fleshed-out whole, probably thanks to its manga origins."[11]
