As someone who's read and watched Assassination Classroom, I can definitely say this is an L for any school that bans this story. The story itself shows what good teachers should aspire to be for their students, and it's really ironic that schools are banning a story I'm sure they could learn from
Virtue signaling and pearl clutching is not just a left wing phenomenon. The reason the left got such a culture shift in their favor was right wing christians doing this dumb shit for decades.
I'm pretty sure it's T+ rated right? I'm pretty sure there is blood and I think deaths in the story. I think it's fine if the schools or school board want them removed but on principle I'm against this weird state wide banning nonsense.
Yeah.. they probably learned how to name a book so its suitable for children. Something the nerds who made "assasination classroom" clearly didnt learn
Y'all are blatantly ignoring some of the extremely sexual stuff in the books. There's definitely stuff in there that makes it inappropriate for kids. I loved watching the anime, but it definitely isn't something I'd recommend to a kid
@@GarrettCook-fg6tc the kids who are at the age of reading assassination classroom r probs curious to already have seen the tropes in assassination classroom in other media lool these r mostly middle schoolers ur talking about i seriously don't think they gaf. i was like 10 when i watched assassination classroom and that show is probably on the lesser side of concerning anime to show kids
@@pathetic_maggot, one where Karens control our communities and systems, because they're "entitled to do so". Like fuck off, Karens. Keep this up and you might just earn yourselves a one-way ticket trip with Mr. Chippy. For those who've watched Brandon Herrera recently, you know what I meant by Mr. Chippy. If not, stay innocent.
This series legitimately is about respecting teachers and how they can inspire us. The main teacher actually inspires one of the students to become a teacher themselves. The show and manga is nothing but supportive of teachers and how they should be respected for what they do.
@@bigsleepy9889 no you probably never watched it they had to because he was going to kill everyone but he was a good teacher and did teach lessons to them you should watch it
@@bigsleepy9889 I mean the only reason they’re trying to kill the teacher is cause the government told them to cause the dude is going to destroy the world.
Kind of ironic that they managed to ban the single most pro "work hard in school and strive to always improve yourself" manga series I and most people know of
true i was lucky enough to find this show early in my highschool year and it motivated me to actually study and do better and take school more serious in general at a time when i was struggling bad in school and dident care to study or do that well mainly because i thought i was not cabable i had low confidence. but korosensie tought me to have confidence the class 3e i think it was were also a group of unconfident individuals at first and so it showed me its not to late. and all their individual assasination skills and classroom smarts that was unique to each student eventually tought me about my own assasination skill i had that i dident even know i had it was being good at math which ironically enough was my worst subject until i found out how good i could be at it when i applied myself and gave a real effort.
I’m a teacher, and we watched this anime as a club during lunch. It was awesome. My students bought me a Koro-sensei tie for graduation. Like people are saying, it’s awesome. Some increíble lessons about learning and life. This group of parents is brain-dead
What's so funny is that in Japan the concept of students wielding firearms against their teacher is so nonsensical that it really can't be considered anything other than fiction, but in America it literally hits so close to home that the wholesome morals of the story fly out of the window to protect "mah feelings"
fucking frame this and put it in the dictionary for an example of what "cultural dissonance" actually is cause I swear to gXd people either dont know or get so confused when explaining this shit sometimes
There's actually an episode of the Amazing World of Gumball that covers this. After learning about her son playing video games, a mom starts a movement to ban all videogames due to their negative effects. Gumball tries to explain why video games can be a good thing, but fails. So all the kids get together and show that books have sex, violence and other stuff too. The mom is shocked for a moment, and seems to have a moment of realization, that maybe she understands that video games aren't all bad... then the episode ends with all of the adults burning every book in the city in once big pile.
As a writer myself, hearing that books that were published and possibly loved beforehand are being rewritten to fit the standards of people is just heartbreaking.
As an aspiring writer, that makes me worry about the books I want to publish because they too could suffer the same fate like any other written work out there.
There are such things as inappropriate for children. You’d be shocked at what is called okay for kids in modern day public schools. Two guys sucking dick isn’t for kids, imo.
The fact that the plot is even more wholesome than what Charlie said is what is boggling my mind. The schools that advise us to not judge a book by its cover, are quite literally doing it themselves.
In Utah, they passed an act where if a parent found anything profane, indecent, or inappropriate about a book, they could ban it from schools and libraries, no questions asked. One parent used this act to ban the Bible. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, I guess.
As a former teacher, this book getting banned is hilarious when you witness what books ARE allowed in the library. I saw a student reading borderline hentai with the library sticker on it 😂
When I was in 5th grade I read that book “The Onion Field”, which was about the real, detailed kidnapping of two police officers and murder of one of them as well as the subsequent failures of his department to support him to the extent that he developed kleptomania years after the tragedy. Yet I guarantee you it wouldn’t be banned because it talked about the police
My school library literally had a book about a kid going postal, in relatively light detail. Can't really remember the name of it, but you'd also never guess because the cover looked like any other teen novel. We also had "Crank." If you know, you know.
Lmao same here. Back when i was in Elementary School (yes, a frickin ELEMENTARY school) there's one ecchi manga about a frickin pervert stalker. It's doesn't have any nudity but it shows alot of borderline nsfw stuff (like half-naked woman or something like that)
I watched assassination classroom when i was in 4th grade (i know its too young) but at that time i was rlly struggling a lot academically, and my family had a lot of conflict with each other during this time and we also struggled financially, then theres also that academic pressure. I didnt have anyone to rant or relate to, i was an outcast at school too and as a result my self-esteem went down and i couldnt study well. 4th grade was one of the worst time of my life, before i was in 4th grade i was rlly good in studying and had high marks so when i started failing in 4th grade i could feel everybody's respect for me disappear. I also remember my teacher yelling and shouting at me, humiliating me in class bc i couldnt answer her one question, she even walked out of the classroom bc she was so mad at me for being unable to answer. I was thankful to change schools after that yr. I then discovered assassination classroom, it was one of the first animes i watched and i remember tearing up everytime a story of one of the students of e-class is being told bc i related to it so much. For the first time i felt so seen and heard, even if its from fictional characters. I felt comforted. Assassination classroom is not the best anime i've ever watched, it used to be my favorite but now it has been replaced (by code geass and hxh) but it still holds a place in my heart. I thank assassination classroom for giving me comfort, now i just graduated high school and im doing well academically. Assassination classroom is a series i think all students and teachers should watch, its inspiring, educational and motivating. These dumb parents banning it are so fcking stupid.
Thats exactly how I feel with so many stories, One Piece especially, as well as Made in Abyss. They just speak to me so well, I can't put it into words.
it's so stupid that this keeps happening, a school in florida (of course it's florida) banned a painting from the renaissance called "madonna and child" from being shown there because madonna "looked too unhappy about motherhood" even our school has a newsletter and it talked about hitmen once
A lot of these parents reason for this is to claim it’s their right as parents to teach kids what is right wrong and about sex. Hilarious how few of these parents ever teach their kids anything they just want to hold onto a sense of control they haven’t earned.
They didn't forget. They think teachers are teaching kids how to chop off their penis and do hormones in the back alley while planning on how to shoot up their school, so they want to cancel everything that isn't a Bible or math.
Unironically the teacher in that series teaches the kids better than I’ve ever been taught in school. He teaches genuinely good lessons as well. These moms are absolutely brave putting their collective 40 IQ points together to oppress children.
right! They should genuinely read it first. If it was full of gore then i understand why it shouldn't be in a middle school or elementary, but it isn't. That's literally why they have age ratings on books/movies/tv shows to begin with, so they don't need to censor everything
Burning books and rewriting stories. I know an Austrian guy who would be laughing himself into a coma seeing this still playing out time and time again.
These people should be forced to read the books and give citations, quotations, and full page explanations for WHY they want whatever book banned because wow.
"Hey you can't force your ideas onto us! Anyway here's what we want to force you to do!" How about two wrongs don't make a right and we shouldn't force anything on anyone.
you believe these ideas are forced onto people by being written in books which are available to be read if one chooses? To me this does not seem reasonable. Nothing is done to you to make you read the book. If someone wants a book banned, they need to provide a reason, which I would say logically requires specific knowledge of the content of the book. If something about the book is so horrendous it cannot exist in a space near people, you need to be able to say what that is.
@@DullEyes100 actually, going through the trouble of reading the entire thing, commenting over it and explaining to each other what they like and don't like has ton of potential to change some people's perspectives
When I was in middleschool kids were sharing actual murder videos and 2 girls 1 cup during study hall.. a Manga about killing an alien with airsoft pellets is the last thing parents should worry about their children seeing.
3:55 “Growing up I always heard the expression “history repeats itself,” or “we have to study history or we’re doomed to repeat it”” The thing is, these same groups that are getting books in schools banned also don’t want certain parts of history being taught in schools, and are utilizing these bans to keep students ignorant of the past.
the crazy part about it is that one of the main themes of the book is that the students learn to be so empathetic towards the teacher that they struggle to bring themselves to kill him
Nah the craziest part of this video is that this guy didn't shower just so he could show us his sweaty forehead and yet he was willing to change his shirt.
@@shaggy6693 you guys sound madder than me lmao just a quick observation I made while watching the first 30 seconds on the pooper. I would have believed he played blacksketball without seeing the sweat. Now that clean white shirt is dirty.
Assassination Classroom is unironically one of the most uplifting and hopeful mangas I've read, and the fact that people banning it are taking it's premisse at face value to ban it while ignoring the message of the story is extremely telling
The Earth is threatened by a powerful creature who destroyed 70% of the Moon with its power, rendering into the shape of a crescent moon forever. The creature claims that within a year, Earth will also be destroyed by him, but he offers mankind a chance to avert this fate. In class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School, he starts working as a homeroom teacher where he teaches his students not only regular subjects, but the ways of assassination. The Japanese government promises a reward of ¥10 billion to whoever among the students succeeds to kill their teacher, whom they have named "Korosensei". However, this has proven to be an almost impossible task, as he has several inhuman abilities at his disposal, including the capacity of moving at Mach 20.
It’s ironic and beautiful to see the Streisand effect in action every time. I’m pretty sure a good number of students never heard of the book before but now that it is being banned it publically, they’re definitely going to take a look at it.
I think their logic is this. After the students read it, they realize what an actually good teacher is like, and then they become mad at the other teachers that shouldn't even have a high schools degree in the subject they teach, so they banned it to prevent the riots. It makes a lot of sense if you don't think about it.
As a teacher myself, this is unbelievably infuriating. Kuro-sensei the kind of teacher that I aspire to be and the story itself has some great lessons to offer. Edit: Koro-sensei
yes brother. Great teacher Onizuka was the reference for me, its a bit older but it has some lessons in empathy and a message about how redeeming the life of a teacher can be, one that can make you reflect just how much a delinquent when they turn to reflect inwards can lead to positive change to others who are going down the same path.
@@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334 Hahaha, well to be fair, inspiration isn't exclusive to only one thing, I believe in the socratic maieutic method. For art and dialogue can only stick with us if it reminds us of something inside ourselves that we have forgotten. We are only ever learning inwards, outside instruments serve to illuminate paths of which we may access parts of our soul. It is the same way i see the importance of linguistics as Wittgenstein has elaborated, for knowledge is something beyond the limits of words so learning languages and their systems we may change how we perceive it. The more languages we learn, the easier it becomes to see what they all fail to express and the importance of how time makes our perception of human instability as something not pertaining to one exclusive culture or era but to the very communication we are unable to perfect. What all i'm saying is, for layman terms, that we should not abhor anyone from learning whatever lessons they may from whatever media. We should only judge the value of the lesson the person himself says to have learned. If a person says to have learned from Jesus that friends leads to your death, this lesson is wrong even if the medium is someone that people tend to adore. If a person says they've learned from Stalin that it is good to learn many languages, this lesson is right even if the person is someone abominable.
The banning of books is honestly very scary as it can lead to a cascading effect of extreme censorship. Those who try to ban books are not thinking about the younger generation, but only for themselves. It is selfish and dangerous.
yeah, also leads to anti-intellectualism bc when you start thinking about it everything is offensive to someone and thus causing the end of all creative forms
@@Theevilrhino But that's the scary part. The lines are actually so blurred that you can't even tell anymore which side is advocating for which censorship. This particular one is absolutely right wingers but the Roald Dahl one that Charlie mentioned is the leftists trying to rewrite stuff to ''fit modern audiences''. It's actually one of the reasons why I dislike both sides.
The worst/best part of this is that those bans are legit worse than useless for the push these human animals want, as it encourages curiosity and creates intrest, even for somthing very mundane. Kids, (especially more rebellious ones) are just going to meet up at various places and trade banned books like pokemon cards precisely because its not allowed. Also, strangely, banning things related to violence, fantastical or not, can create even more violence as kids who could have a potential to do dangerous things lose their outlets for it, thus driving them to actually doing the things these moms were trying to prevent in the first place. Violence is an instinctual act driven by intense feelings and emotion, not somthing a child learns about and thinks it sounds cool to try and replicate. Even the simple act of banning somthing, can be enough for some people to snap.
They might actually grow intellectually by watching or reading it. It's an amazing show and I would not be surprised if it was taught somewhere down the line. The life long lessons, the plot, the messages, the underlying themes, all of it. It's extraordinary. Not only is it about a teacher and his students but it brings the viewer in and makes them part of the class itself. It doesn't matter who you are, there is a character made for you to relate to. Whether it be Isogai for him being poor but an amazing leader or Karma for being misunderstood yet increadibly smart. You will relate to several characters.
Book banning actually terrifies me, there are very important pieces of literature like Maus for example that have been banned in some U.S states. It is stunning how this can happen. I’d argue that Maus is one of the best retellings of the Holocaust from a first hand witness, Maus isn’t even the only book about the holocaust being banned, very concerning.
I read Maus in the 3rd grade. Then again when I was 21 and rediscovered it. Love it Look at all the books Governor DeSantis has banned from school libraries and even public libraries. The whole thing is backwards and messed up
honestly this feels like index of forbidden books (Index librorum prohibitorum) from churches in XVI century. They fear what they can not control and forcibly want to get rid of it.
Assassination Classroom has a lot of genuinely great message and morals for young teens and adults alike. Talks about mature topics like abusive parent, toxic relationships, problem with the education system, etc, while also having good writing, characters, and humor. It's really stupid how it got banned in the dumbest way possible, but hopefully, this will make people talk about the manga more again.
Honestly, if the book makes nuanced, thought-out comments about problems with the education system, that's probably the real reason why they're trying to ban it. Fits right in with how they're trying to ban books that discuss other present-day societal problems.
honestly man, like I get maybe “assasination classroom” isn’t the best thing for a school but it’s not just murder kill kill murder and yet, let’s ban it! I HATE..good literature…
My mom always had this phrase when my siblings and I were growing up. "If you can't tell the difference between fiction and reality, then you don't need to be reading it." And she would let us read Harry Potter and other books a lot of parents demonized because she knew that at the end of the day they were books and it was our own responsibility to tell the difference
Honestly I'm shocked Wings of Fire wasn't banned befor this.. talks about war, disemoweling, decapitation, a dragon that can burn others by touching them, lgbtq+ topics (even talks about someone's fanmade nonbinary character, just a fun fact I thought was cute :D), abusive family's, almost genocide of three different tribes, basically enslavement of a tribe, torturing kidnapped dragons (even talks about one having ptsd later on), talks about a classroom being bombed (don't exactly remember how... I think it involved some caucus that exploded beacuse of fire), and a student dying beacuse of it, and alot more that I'm probably forgetting. But I'm hoping it doesn't get banned
@@EYE1N it's so good! Well except book 15 or 16 (forgot the number, but it's called Flames of Hope). I don't recommend that one. If you ever find them after the 1st book, I HIGHLY recommend it or the graphic novels.
@Nova6162 yeah, it was one of those random books I found at a Book Fair and loved it because dragons are badass. Years later, and I still love dragons to the point I'm actually writing a dragon-based world for my own series.
Getting older made me realize that older generations call things evil and think that things are "corrupting the youth" simply because they don't understand it. It actually terrifies me that the same may happen with us when we get older. So I think the best thing that people could do is just accept that things exist and move on, generational difference be damned
I definitely agree. I don't think anything is "corrupting the youth" but I do think they have a different way of looking at things and we both need to learn how to respect each other and what we find "acceptable" to find a middle ground in society
the "corrupting the youth" idea is stupidly widespread and has even reached younger people, especially in anti-lgbt movements. A common argument among those idiots is that children are being groomed and corrupted into being lgbt. it's the stupidest thing anyone could ever claim, but it's freakishly widespread nowadays.
It’s a lot of middle aged conservative moms and dads. And it’s happening in primarily conservative states/school districts. You’ll find that a larger number of younger generations today aren’t as wound up on these topics as boomers and Gen X who grew up in commonly Christian/ Christian Nationalist communities. Look at the 2022 midterms. That was good evidence that this type of nonsense isn’t going to cut it very long. It’s hard to change culture. You’ll see the evidence of that in every generation up to now.
The advice I would give to every older person is this that that you should never be setting your ways because then you’ll never grow and not to mention there’s still more to learn in life I’m not saying a live forever but when I am saying is why do you feel settled that’s when you’ll rot away.
Have you read some of the books being removed from school libraries? Removing Assassination Classroom or Maus is pretty stupid, however that doesn’t mean that there are no examples of inappropriate literature being given to children in school libraries. One such example would be “Gender Queer”, a book which among other things depicts minors engaging in explicit activities that would be inappropriate for children. Not all books should be in school libraries for children to see. I don’t see anything wrong with Assassination Classroom, a manga that as far as I’m aware is aimed at young people, being in a school. It shouldn’t be removed, however that doesn’t mean that things which actually are inappropriate for children shouldn’t be removed either.
I think the only episode I ever saw had kids ready to sacrifice one another to get the teacher, the teacher proceeded to go crazy and had this whole speech about how you should never use others maliciously or sacrifice others to attain your goals. It was extremely wholesome with context
Spoilers. During the manga, the classroom starts to get attached to the teacher, and it turns in to a pretty wholesome read. Turns out the students have very personal problems, and this alien teacher doesn't give up on them.
That scene really got to me the first time I saw it. I've always thought the students only ever saw their teacher as an annoying, unkillable weirdo, undeserving of their empathy. It turns out that was far from the truth.
Assassination Classroom is a phenomenal story. It's an absolute outrage to remove such a great story of a man who had lost everything until he met a classroom of students that never fit in and now have a place where they feel at home, and a boy who is thought to be a below average student prevails and becomes the top of his class before he himself becomes a teacher in his later years.
I think it’s a good series. The ideology of the book is a little twisted. My stepson reads the books. I read it to. The main character I read of is basically psychotic which means he like learns about people’s strengths and weaknesses to kill them. My only concern would be that the kids read the book and learn how to deceive ,manipulate, and even successfully kill if they wanted to. takes time to read the series but if you do and you have a child you’ll think about them reading it. Now my son isn’t stupid and wouldn’t kill someone because of a fucking book but I do feel like he grabbed on to the concept of manipulation and deceit. I’ve been paying close attention. I tried to be cool with the book and I still like the series. He does too. But they can’t help but adopt the concept of what their “favorite character” is doing or what they are like. They try to imitate. Now if your kid is tragically stupid they might try to kill their teacher. But they might also try to mimic what they do to get by in the book. I’m not sure if I’m explaining this well but I feel like someone will grab onto what I’m trying to say
@@Astras_corta I get your point. The book teaches some daunting and questionable character traits and kids, being impressionable as they are, can easily learn these traits and use them for harm. However, a good parent will allow their kid to read this and still teach them how to properly understand the book and not be evil with any lessons taken from it. Is that kind of it?
It sounds cheesy but this story made me cry. The premise is so otherworldly I would never connect it to real life. I hope the ban makes this series more popular than ever, because the scapegoating is ridiculous
You know that as soon as you "ban" something, it automatically becomes a must have item for most people. Like they literally just achieved the opposite of their objective!
Yeah however, once something is banned it also changes the laws on it. Once you ban something, yes more people want it, but legally it also means you have the right to do a really on all existing copies in the future if you want. And you can put restrictions on the author
100%! I remember when the banned Maus (the comic retelling of one family's ww2 and holocaust story), I ordered it the next day! Why? Because the only thing worse than banning books is burning them.
assassination classroom talks of a classroom of students that were literally shunned and bullied by the rest of the prestigious school because they were the "stupid kids". its a story that resonated with me so hard because *I* felt like the kid who was stupid in between geniuses. I used to absolutely hate myself whenever I would get a B because it wasn't a perfect grade. assassination classroom is literally the one anime that made me appreciate school. Not only was the anime wacky and funny with its weird plot, it legit had great moral lessons in it. The way that koro sensei (the alien teacher) taught and nurtured even the worst students who were "beyond help" to be straight A students made me realize that being a good student isn't all about setting impossible standards, it's about slowly improving your skill set and most importantly, to let yourself make mistakes as long as you improve. The anime taught me to not beat myself up everytime I got a B, but to celebrate it, because I improved. sorry for the long rant, this anime is my absolute favourite and it enrages me to see this happen.
I think Charlie's point really hits home. Instead of "protecting" children from "harmful" content such as a very wholesome manga that actually has many great life lessons that they could actually benefit from, they should spend their time and efforts teaching and preparing their kids so that no matter what harmful content they may consume, they will be equipped to handle it.
or maybe they can just make an older kids section and keep it in there- thats what they did at my school at least or have some people just become purely devoid of braincells
I bet you they saw the title, and BAM instant ''danger for our schools'' without even do a small bit of research what the manga is about. It's like Charlie said in the video during the 80's Metal hype, that was all satanic and propaganda to destroy society according to the same weird people that used to live back then, history does indeed repeat itself. Then during the 90's, it was videogames (even though Mario and Bowser also supposedly was demonic in the 80's LOL)
the GOP in Florida has been especially silly with their bans recently. they recently banned a children's book about male penguins adopting a baby penguin at a zoo based off a real story. they unironically called the book "pedophilia" even tho there literally is no sex or sexual themes in the entire book, outside of two penguins loving each other and adopting a baby.
That's where your mistaken, the average American parent doesn't even really do much of anything paternal, they just stick a screen in front of their kids face and let they internet babysit them.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute..."
as a bookseller who LITERALLY SOLD THIS TO A MOM AND HER 9 YEAR OLD YESTERDAY, it breaks my heart to hear that a series with one of the most positive examples of teacher-student relationships. And what’s funny was that the mom was MORE EAGER to learn about the series after learning what it’s ACTUALLY ABOUT: an underprivileged classroom purposely targeted by their school’s administration and student body, and the “monster” that wants to ensure a bright future for them. not shocked at all about how ignorant Florida School Officials are. they’re more afraid of books making their kids “woke” than actually talking of their students 😅 also worth adding: AC’s creator Yusei Matsui also worked on Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo as an apprentice, which sprinkles throughout his comedy writing! pretty scary huh? 🤷🏻
And the weapons they use to try and kill the professor are made in order to make sure the kids don't get hurt, we have arrived at a point where a class that has to kill their professor is safer than a normal class, HOW?????
Well, i doubt that those moms ever read a book outside of school or 50 Shades or Grey. Otherwise they would've seen that it is merely the initial premise to hook in readers. The assassination part is even explicitly made with rubber weapons and explained why it HAS to be these harmless rubber weapons. They couldn't go more out of their way to ignore what kids might see in the manga. If they or their kids read this, they could actually learn things
watched this series a couple of times. the first time i watched it, it gave me the motivation to become a teacher someday (and ill become one). the second time i watched it, it made me realize that i need to reform myself and become a better person
In my 12 years of schooling, I learned that the most detrimental thing to a child’s education is a bored parent with an ego. It’s a toxic mixture of parental overprotectiveness, domestic boredom, and “customer is always right” mentality (for lack of a better term) that creates these insane people who try to force their shitty parenting upon an entire school system.
They could literally just make their child not read that material if they deem it too "harmful". Like you said though bored parents with massive egos will cause a ruckus just to get attention and make themselves look like heroes protecting the kids. Even though it usually results in them looking like jackasses I was a teenager around the time of that infamous "Slender Man" incident back in 2014, and my stepdad threatened to rip the Internet out of the wall if my sister and I ever read, saw, or played any games with Slender Man in it. He along with some other parents were planning to go to the school board too to get the creepy pasta stuff banned in all schools in the district. Thankfully, my mom wasn't a dolt and told him that it was just two stupid kids who did something horrible, but that doesn't mean that all of those creepy pasta internet stuff is bad. She talked him down before he made our whole family look like buffoons
Assassination Classroom is about a teacher who supports his students and helps them grow into the best versions of themselves. Arguably, it’s also about not judging a book by its cover.
And by the end of the series, the students don't even want to kill their teacher anymore because of him actually being an amazing teacher. They respect him, but unfortunately have to go through with it in order to save the world. It's a bittersweet ending and teaches a lot of lessons on morality. You're right, these parents didn't even get past the synopsis of this manga and deemed it to be "problematic" which it is anything but.
Yeah. Plus I dont think everyone’s teacher is a yellow, speed-of-sound moving, flying, tentacle alien. The story tells us how those seen as less can pick themselves up through positive role models and hard work. By accepting what you are weak at but persevering.
It reminds me of the DND scare my mom literally tried to stop me from playing many games Magic, Harry Potter, and Yu-gi-oh all because they had "Demons in them"
As a 17 year old, I believe some manga makes sense in a high school, while others make sense in other school levels. The Yu-Gi-Oh season 0 manga (before the infamous cards became center stage) probably should be at least 8th grade, maybe 9th onwards. At least, that is something I would say if I wasn't a 6th grader who read it and learned about the original idea of Yu-Gi-Oh and found it cool (was super different from what I'd normally read, I was into Pokemon and deathly afraid of even seeing a Freddy Fazbear. I have repented. I am no longer that level of a wimp.) So I think it should only be considered if anything sexually explicit or hinted at is on a page and drawn. The Yu-Gi-Oh "season 0" manga is close but barely reasonable for that qualification for middle school and onward. TLDR: manga shouldn't be discouraged in a middle school sense unless it's sexually explicit ect ect. And odds are, it's not even in a school then
As someone currently studying to become library staff, I can tell you that fighting the banning(and challenging) of books is a war librarians have been fighting since time immemorial. My favorite libraries are the ones that have a shelf right near the entrance where you can check out all the banned books they could get a hold of.
You’re fighting the good fight, the real fight, the fight against literal fascism. You don’t know how much I (and half the country) respect your efforts.
@@greatcesari People need to be aware of the left wing fascism that is censoring, cancelling and banning books. There is only one party that can save this country.
I just finished my library degree and this is so true! Every one of my professors and classmates was so passionate about banned books and keeping libraries free of censorship!
My favorite was going into Chapters and checking out the banned books section to see Charlotte's Web there. Banned in Kansas since 2006 since it goes against humans as being the height of God's creation because the book has talking animals in it.
Ah yes, book banning. My college English class this semester is centered around banned literature. Just finished my final essay on the banning of The Color Purple. This does not surprise me.
@@zankety578 because apparently the subjects of domestic vi*lence, the homosexual relationship between Celie and Shug, use of m*rijuana, and topics regarding race relations are TOooOo much for teens and young adults. Like those aren't problems and topics in the real world teens and young adults already see on a regular basis. Apparently if you ban books those issues just magically cease to exist.
keep in mind that some US states banned the infamous "Maus" book, a very important and touching graphic novel by Art Spiegelmann, depicting the author's family's real experiences during the Holocaust. If a state bans school libraries (and by extend all students) from education surrounding one of the worst genocides in human history, for dubious reasons, that to me is the reddest of flags. In fact, that flag now only misses a white circle and a specifically angled cross and its complete.
For dubious reasons? You mean one of the biggest celebrities (Klanye) emboldening anti semites and Nazis with his rhetoric. They are seizing the moment

@LaidBackDevil🏳️🌈 I think that if the art has elements that make it not suitable for children, it's better to just not expose it to children and wait until they are mature enough (which is subjective and will be interpreted differently by different parents) rather than to edit the art to suit the needs of a child. Agree on your second point though
@LaidBackDevil🏳️🌈 While your points are valid, rewriting it to not harm children could mean very different things depending on the person who does so. Like if someone rewrites a story that features a same-sex couple, they might see the topic as harmful, while others don’t, and write that out.
The world is gonna be like that town from A Series of Unfortunate Events that banned all the books and the I my done left is a dull title named “The Littlest Elf”
Highly unlikely it was your school's choice. School's don't make that decision, it's usually put forth by the school district because a parent asked for it to be removed for inappropriate content, and they usually don't know what the book is actually about.

here in Brazil there was a whole rumour about a shit ton of school massacres going to happen in the 4/20, nothing actually happened, and my school was actually super chill and just did the best to calm us down and all. But i remember i bought a volume of this manga before the rumour started but it only arrived like a week ago. My mom heard about the whole thing and was scared as hell when she saw that i bought this manga lmao. She thought it would fr tell us how to kill people and school violence. But she did read it all before me and said i could read it and actually giggled a bit with some stuff. Fun.
Assassination Classroom was the first manga series I read at my school and it encapsulates me entirely. It’s a stupid premise with a great execution and the worst thing I “learned” from it is general tactics in defense. But even then it’s not even extensive enough for it to be used in real life!

bro, all those children can buy the manga and read it on their own time. School is for educational books only, not ‘fun’ books like manga. You go to the school library to read educational books, and you buy books with your own money to read on your own time that are ‘fun’ books. the school ban isn’t stopping anybody from actually READING the books, just not at SCHOOL (a learning environment). Ya’ll need to chill tf out...
@@crazysilly2914 i agree but theyre banning It for stupid reasons, kids hate school now theyre gonna hate them even More when you cant have a tiny bit of fun because some random Karen in parent's association just heard the name of the manga.

@@crazysilly2914 it’s not for educational books only kids cannot make money they’re not allowed to work and required to spend 8 hours a day at school but I agree kids should be taught to value education better
@@crazysilly2914 yeah, school is a learning environment and education should be that main priority of it, but the thing is that 90% of the time, kids aren’t even reading books in school unless it’s a textbook or something. The only other times I can think of when kids read any actual books is when they’re assigned to read a book by their teacher (which even then, the teacher usually puts restrictions on what type of book to read so that’s gonna exclude books like manga), read it during recess or lunch, or read it during class (to which it is the teacher’s responsibility to allow it or not). Otherwise, the kid’s just gonna read the book at home, when they probably already have HW. My point is that most of the time when a student checks a book out from a school library, they will almost never actually read it in school and only in their free time, and that’s only on the chance that a student actually likes to read in their free time, so what’s the point in banning “fun” books at school and forcing them to pay for books that interest them out of their own pocket.
and the rejection of institutions and a persecution complex and an inflated sense of self and control through militant force by appealing to social alienation The manga sounds completely innapropriate thematically for kids.
@@MikeSW Spoilers ahead probably I dunno what you're going on about the story kept tackling many insecurities people have in a zany but inspirational way. The only thing that rejects institution here was how the manga criticizes how some Japanese schools work where the class with problem children are forced into one classroom. The story focuses on showing us that even problematic people (be it from bad parents, various circumstances or etc. ) Can still lead successful and normal lives. Nothing you have said makes sense except maybe the last point(?) But only then does it do it for the sake of finding a way for this super alien to teach the kids in school. I mean otherwise all we get is just a normal "teacher doing good teacher things" story. And even then the "military" personnel grew to not want to kill him. In the end they only ended up killing the teacher not because of the military but as a request by the teacher himself so I dunno what you're talking about. Also I dunno wtf do you mean by persecution comolex

Assasination classroom is a great manga that shows the lives of students who lost their hope to become a better version of themselfs due to others constant telling them they can never achieve anything. It genuenly has some good tips in life and the prespective of both the teacher and the students. One of the most wholesome, sad and intresting stories ive read so far.
I'm midway through the anime, and what really gripped me was how lighthearted and fun it is. The assassination part is the main plot, but it's not even really about that, in my opinion. It's about a teacher and his students. It's funny and lighthearted from what I've seen.

The fact that the plot is even more wholesome than what Charlie said is what is boggling my mind. The schools that advise us to not judge a book by its cover, are quite literally doing it themselves.

I watched assassination classroom when i was in 4th grade (i know its too young) but at that time i was rlly struggling a lot academically, and my family had a lot of conflict with each other during this time and we also struggled financially, then theres also that academic pressure. I didnt have anyone to rant or relate to, i was an outcast at school too and as a result my self-esteem went down and i couldnt study well. 4th grade was one of the worst time of my life, before i was in 4th grade i was rlly good in studying and had high marks so when i started failing in 4th grade i could feel everybody's respect for me disappear. I also remember my teacher yelling and shouting at me, humiliating me in class bc i couldnt answer her one question, she even walked out of the classroom bc she was so mad at me for being unable to answer. I was thankful to change schools after that yr.
I then discovered assassination classroom, it was one of the first animes i watched and i remember tearing up everytime a story of one of the students of e-class is being told bc i related to it so much. For the first time i felt so seen and heard, even if its from fictional characters. I felt comforted. Assassination classroom is not the best anime i've ever watched, it used to be my favorite but now it has been replaced (by code geass and hxh) but it still holds a place in my heart.

you believe these ideas are forced onto people by being written in books which are available to be read if one chooses? To me this does not seem reasonable. Nothing is done to you to make you read the book.
If someone wants a book banned, they need to provide a reason, which I would say logically requires specific knowledge of the content of the book.
If something about the book is so horrendous it cannot exist in a space near people, you need to be able to say what that is.
They shouldn’t be allowed to ban a book without a public live-streamed book club where they all read and cover it together first.

I think their logic is this. After the students read it, they realize what an actually good teacher is like, and then they become mad at the other teachers that shouldn't even have a high schools degree in the subject they teach, so they banned it to prevent the riots.

@@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334 Hahaha, well to be fair, inspiration isn't exclusive to only one thing, I believe in the socratic maieutic method. For art and dialogue can only stick with us if it reminds us of something inside ourselves that we have forgotten. We are only ever learning inwards, outside instruments serve to illuminate paths of which we may access parts of our soul.
It is the same way i see the importance of linguistics as Wittgenstein has elaborated, for knowledge is something beyond the limits of words so learning languages and their systems we may change how we perceive it. The more languages we learn, the easier it becomes to see what they all fail to express and the importance of how time makes our perception of human instability as something not pertaining to one exclusive culture or era but to the very communication we are unable to perfect.
What all i'm saying is, for layman terms, that we should not abhor anyone from learning whatever lessons they may from whatever media. We should only judge the value of the lesson the person himself says to have learned. If a person says to have learned from Jesus that friends leads to your death, this lesson is wrong even if the medium is someone that people tend to adore. If a person says they've learned from Stalin that it is good to learn many languages, this lesson is right even if the person is someone abominable.

@@Theevilrhino But that's the scary part. The lines are actually so blurred that you can't even tell anymore which side is advocating for which censorship. This particular one is absolutely right wingers but the Roald Dahl one that Charlie mentioned is the leftists trying to rewrite stuff to ''fit modern audiences''. It's actually one of the reasons why I dislike both sides.
Ban today. Burn tomorrow. Then next week...
Koro Sensei was actually a really good teacher. Actual teachers could even learn from it instead of banning it.
And these people would be the ones to say "Oh you can't take our guns we need them to protect ourselves and freedom-" while banning a book.

@@Banta42061 Same.
The worst/best part of this is that those bans are legit worse than useless for the push these human animals want, as it encourages curiosity and creates intrest, even for somthing very mundane. Kids, (especially more rebellious ones) are just going to meet up at various places and trade banned books like pokemon cards precisely because its not allowed.
Also, strangely, banning things related to violence, fantastical or not, can create even more violence as kids who could have a potential to do dangerous things lose their outlets for it, thus driving them to actually doing the things these moms were trying to prevent in the first place. Violence is an instinctual act driven by intense feelings and emotion, not somthing a child learns about and thinks it sounds cool to try and replicate.
Even the simple act of banning somthing, can be enough for some people to snap.
They might actually grow intellectually by watching or reading it. It's an amazing show and I would not be surprised if it was taught somewhere down the line. The life long lessons, the plot, the messages, the underlying themes, all of it. It's extraordinary. Not only is it about a teacher and his students but it brings the viewer in and makes them part of the class itself. It doesn't matter who you are, there is a character made for you to relate to. Whether it be Isogai for him being poor but an amazing leader or Karma for being misunderstood yet increadibly smart. You will relate to several characters.
Book banning actually terrifies me, there are very important pieces of literature like Maus for example that have been banned in some U.S states. It is stunning how this can happen. I’d argue that Maus is one of the best retellings of the Holocaust from a first hand witness, Maus isn’t even the only book about the holocaust being banned, very concerning.
I read Maus in the 3rd grade. Then again when I was 21 and rediscovered it. Love it
Look at all the books Governor DeSantis has banned from school libraries and even public libraries. The whole thing is backwards and messed up
They don't want kids to see what they want to do
honestly this feels like index of forbidden books (Index librorum prohibitorum) from churches in XVI century. They fear what they can not control and forcibly want to get rid of it.
they burned books in germany too. just saying
Yeah, in fact old American propaganda ridiculed nazi Germany for burning books. How the f**k have we traded places
Assassination Classroom has a lot of genuinely great message and morals for young teens and adults alike. Talks about mature topics like abusive parent, toxic relationships, problem with the education system, etc, while also having good writing, characters, and humor. It's really stupid how it got banned in the dumbest way possible, but hopefully, this will make people talk about the manga more again.
Funny thing is the MC’s mom is a Karen as well
Also one of the best villains there is, Asano Gakuho. Why he is not getting more attention I do not understand
Honestly, if the book makes nuanced, thought-out comments about problems with the education system, that's probably the real reason why they're trying to ban it. Fits right in with how they're trying to ban books that discuss other present-day societal problems.
The show is just another Japanese sexual deviation cartoon
honestly man, like I get maybe “assasination classroom” isn’t the best thing for a school but it’s not just murder kill kill murder and yet, let’s ban it! I HATE..good literature…
That thumbnail 💀 “I want to recreate my favorite anime! 😊” “Oh like play pretend and like Naruto?” “Not quite *pulls out gun* “
Well, I'm glad I bought every volume. Great series and single handedly gave me inspiration to grind through biochemistry.
My mom always had this phrase when my siblings and I were growing up.
"If you can't tell the difference between fiction and reality, then you don't need to be reading it."
And she would let us read Harry Potter and other books a lot of parents demonized because she knew that at the end of the day they were books and it was our own responsibility to tell the difference
Honestly I'm shocked Wings of Fire wasn't banned befor this.. talks about war, disemoweling, decapitation, a dragon that can burn others by touching them, lgbtq+ topics (even talks about someone's fanmade nonbinary character, just a fun fact I thought was cute :D), abusive family's, almost genocide of three different tribes, basically enslavement of a tribe, torturing kidnapped dragons (even talks about one having ptsd later on), talks about a classroom being bombed (don't exactly remember how... I think it involved some caucus that exploded beacuse of fire), and a student dying beacuse of it, and alot more that I'm probably forgetting. But I'm hoping it doesn't get banned
@Nova6162 dude I remember that series. Never could find any books past the first
Lmao you can almost call it natural selection at this point…. I thought fiction and reality were braindead easy to tell the difference for everyone
@@EYE1N it's so good! Well except book 15 or 16 (forgot the number, but it's called Flames of Hope). I don't recommend that one. If you ever find them after the 1st book, I HIGHLY recommend it or the graphic novels.
@Nova6162 yeah, it was one of those random books I found at a Book Fair and loved it because dragons are badass.
Years later, and I still love dragons to the point I'm actually writing a dragon-based world for my own series.
Theres only two sections of two specific stories that make me tear up. One is the death of Koro sensei.
1:56 the cut is so funny cause it’s like Charlie watched the whole thing and then gave us the recap
Getting older made me realize that older generations call things evil and think that things are "corrupting the youth" simply because they don't understand it. It actually terrifies me that the same may happen with us when we get older. So I think the best thing that people could do is just accept that things exist and move on, generational difference be damned
I definitely agree. I don't think anything is "corrupting the youth" but I do think they have a different way of looking at things and we both need to learn how to respect each other and what we find "acceptable" to find a middle ground in society
the "corrupting the youth" idea is stupidly widespread and has even reached younger people, especially in anti-lgbt movements. A common argument among those idiots is that children are being groomed and corrupted into being lgbt. it's the stupidest thing anyone could ever claim, but it's freakishly widespread nowadays.
It’s a lot of middle aged conservative moms and dads. And it’s happening in primarily conservative states/school districts. You’ll find that a larger number of younger generations today aren’t as wound up on these topics as boomers and Gen X who grew up in commonly Christian/ Christian Nationalist communities. Look at the 2022 midterms. That was good evidence that this type of nonsense isn’t going to cut it very long. It’s hard to change culture. You’ll see the evidence of that in every generation up to now.
The advice I would give to every older person is this that that you should never be setting your ways because then you’ll never grow and not to mention there’s still more to learn in life I’m not saying a live forever but when I am saying is why do you feel settled that’s when you’ll rot away.
Have you read some of the books being removed from school libraries? Removing Assassination Classroom or Maus is pretty stupid, however that doesn’t mean that there are no examples of inappropriate literature being given to children in school libraries. One such example would be “Gender Queer”, a book which among other things depicts minors engaging in explicit activities that would be inappropriate for children. Not all books should be in school libraries for children to see. I don’t see anything wrong with Assassination Classroom, a manga that as far as I’m aware is aimed at young people, being in a school. It shouldn’t be removed, however that doesn’t mean that things which actually are inappropriate for children shouldn’t be removed either.
I think the only episode I ever saw had kids ready to sacrifice one another to get the teacher, the teacher proceeded to go crazy and had this whole speech about how you should never use others maliciously or sacrifice others to attain your goals. It was extremely wholesome with context
the teacher is ❤
spoilers
the teacher literally makes every one of the failed students into succesful people
It’s a great anime and each episode has a lesson behind it
That was the first episode lol
So the first episode?
Americans would loterally ban books over guns
Guns shouldn't be banned, regulated, yes, but if you ban them, only criminals will own guns. Plus, p a r e n t, y o u r, c h i l d r e n.
The hell are you talking about, americans love guns
Non-Americans would totally blame a complex and old issue of stupid people on a nation of 340 million.
honestly this situation got me curious about the series and is why i got into it (i love it its great) nice Streisand effect
Spoilers.
During the manga, the classroom starts to get attached to the teacher, and it turns in to a pretty wholesome read. Turns out the students have very personal problems, and this alien teacher doesn't give up on them.
Not an alien
“alien” in appearance but more later on :)
That scene really got to me the first time I saw it. I've always thought the students only ever saw their teacher as an annoying, unkillable weirdo, undeserving of their empathy. It turns out that was far from the truth.
Alien on physicality
But human is he
The alien is basically Mr Rodgers for teenagers, them retards clearly didn’t read through the manga or check out the anime
“Moms for liberty “ is a complete hate group. We have to run their members out of PTA meetings because they are so violent, racist, and aggressive.
you're not wrong. oh crap. i think i just remembered something from an optimus episode
They’re more like the evil stepmoms from the fairy tale.
Bump
Very ironic that moms for LIBERTY try to ban books.
Yeah its a hella conservative group
This just reminds me of the “Americans don’t read anymore” news article. Further solidifying that most people judge a book by its cover
I really don’t know what you would expect from a group called “Moms for Liberty”
Assassination Classroom is a phenomenal story. It's an absolute outrage to remove such a great story of a man who had lost everything until he met a classroom of students that never fit in and now have a place where they feel at home, and a boy who is thought to be a below average student prevails and becomes the top of his class before he himself becomes a teacher in his later years.
I think it’s a good series. The ideology of the book is a little twisted. My stepson reads the books. I read it to. The main character I read of is basically psychotic which means he like learns about people’s strengths and weaknesses to kill them. My only concern would be that the kids read the book and learn how to deceive ,manipulate, and even successfully kill if they wanted to. takes time to read the series but if you do and you have a child you’ll think about them reading it. Now my son isn’t stupid and wouldn’t kill someone because of a fucking book but I do feel like he grabbed on to the concept of manipulation and deceit. I’ve been paying close attention. I tried to be cool with the book and I still like the series. He does too. But they can’t help but adopt the concept of what their “favorite character” is doing or what they are like. They try to imitate. Now if your kid is tragically stupid they might try to kill their teacher. But they might also try to mimic what they do to get by in the book. I’m not sure if I’m explaining this well but I feel like someone will grab onto what I’m trying to say
@@Astras_corta There's an *_AGE_* rating for a reason.
@@Astras_corta I get your point. The book teaches some daunting and questionable character traits and kids, being impressionable as they are, can easily learn these traits and use them for harm. However, a good parent will allow their kid to read this and still teach them how to properly understand the book and not be evil with any lessons taken from it. Is that kind of it?
It sounds cheesy but this story made me cry. The premise is so otherworldly I would never connect it to real life. I hope the ban makes this series more popular than ever, because the scapegoating is ridiculous
@@DreamersDreamBig Is the manga better the anime was just ok. Not a manga reader but curious
You know that as soon as you "ban" something, it automatically becomes a must have item for most people. Like they literally just achieved the opposite of their objective!
Streisand effect!
Yeah however, once something is banned it also changes the laws on it. Once you ban something, yes more people want it, but legally it also means you have the right to do a really on all existing copies in the future if you want. And you can put restrictions on the author
Wizards of the Coast banned a bunch of old cards that they considered "racist", and their prices skyrocketed. It's a beautiful irony.
100%! I remember when the banned Maus (the comic retelling of one family's ww2 and holocaust story), I ordered it the next day! Why? Because the only thing worse than banning books is burning them.
Curiosity. If you keep hoomans away from something, they would want to have it even more
Its crazy cause assassination classroom is such a heart-felt story. That is so sad
assassination classroom talks of a classroom of students that were literally shunned and bullied by the rest of the prestigious school because they were the "stupid kids". its a story that resonated with me so hard because *I* felt like the kid who was stupid in between geniuses. I used to absolutely hate myself whenever I would get a B because it wasn't a perfect grade.
assassination classroom is literally the one anime that made me appreciate school. Not only was the anime wacky and funny with its weird plot, it legit had great moral lessons in it. The way that koro sensei (the alien teacher) taught and nurtured even the worst students who were "beyond help" to be straight A students made me realize that being a good student isn't all about setting impossible standards, it's about slowly improving your skill set and most importantly, to let yourself make mistakes as long as you improve. The anime taught me to not beat myself up everytime I got a B, but to celebrate it, because I improved.
sorry for the long rant, this anime is my absolute favourite and it enrages me to see this happen.
yeah, great journey you have
keep it up
ikr i loved it so much.. idk why so many people have a problem with it
it was a good show but it constantly sexualized the female teacher which was really annoying and made it hard to watch at some times.
@@user-mm8rb6ly7n She quite literally uses her body to seduce people though???? How is she supposed to do that without being 'sexualized'?
@@user-mm8rb6ly7n well her whole thing was about sexualizing herself so she could kill her targets, so it's kinda justified.
I think Charlie's point really hits home. Instead of "protecting" children from "harmful" content such as a very wholesome manga that actually has many great life lessons that they could actually benefit from, they should spend their time and efforts teaching and preparing their kids so that no matter what harmful content they may consume, they will be equipped to handle it.
or maybe they can just make an older kids section and keep it in there- thats what they did at my school at least or have some people just become purely devoid of braincells
I see. Would he take this same stance with Cuties?
I bet you they saw the title, and BAM instant ''danger for our schools'' without even do a small bit of research what the manga is about. It's like Charlie said in the video during the 80's Metal hype, that was all satanic and propaganda to destroy society according to the same weird people that used to live back then, history does indeed repeat itself. Then during the 90's, it was videogames (even though Mario and Bowser also supposedly was demonic in the 80's LOL)
the GOP in Florida has been especially silly with their bans recently. they recently banned a children's book about male penguins adopting a baby penguin at a zoo based off a real story. they unironically called the book "pedophilia" even tho there literally is no sex or sexual themes in the entire book, outside of two penguins loving each other and adopting a baby.
That's where your mistaken, the average American parent doesn't even really do much of anything paternal, they just stick a screen in front of their kids face and let they internet babysit them.
And as usual, censorship is the only reason I know about this manga now, and I'm definitely watching it tomorrow cause it sounds dope.
Thanks moms!!
It actually is dope lmfao. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I need to binge and rewatch it again.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute..."
as a bookseller who LITERALLY SOLD THIS TO A MOM AND HER 9 YEAR OLD YESTERDAY, it breaks my heart to hear that a series with one of the most positive examples of teacher-student relationships. And what’s funny was that the mom was MORE EAGER to learn about the series after learning what it’s ACTUALLY ABOUT: an underprivileged classroom purposely targeted by their school’s administration and student body, and the “monster” that wants to ensure a bright future for them.
not shocked at all about how ignorant Florida School Officials are. they’re more afraid of books making their kids “woke” than actually talking of their students 😅
also worth adding: AC’s creator Yusei Matsui also worked on Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo as an apprentice, which sprinkles throughout his comedy writing!
pretty scary huh? 🤷🏻
And the weapons they use to try and kill the professor are made in order to make sure the kids don't get hurt, we have arrived at a point where a class that has to kill their professor is safer than a normal class, HOW?????
A underprivileged class? That's woke!

@@callmecharlie9021 how could i forget? they’re legit playing airsoft for half the semester 😭
Well, i doubt that those moms ever read a book outside of school or 50 Shades or Grey.
Otherwise they would've seen that it is merely the initial premise to hook in readers. The assassination part is even explicitly made with rubber weapons and explained why it HAS to be these harmless rubber weapons.
They couldn't go more out of their way to ignore what kids might see in the manga. If they or their kids read this, they could actually learn things

They saw Koro sensei was a good teacher and said “fuck we can’t show people were slacking”
In my 12 years of schooling, I learned that the most detrimental thing to a child’s education is a bored parent with an ego. It’s a toxic mixture of parental overprotectiveness, domestic boredom, and “customer is always right” mentality (for lack of a better term) that creates these insane people who try to force their shitty parenting upon an entire school system.
They could literally just make their child not read that material if they deem it too "harmful". Like you said though bored parents with massive egos will cause a ruckus just to get attention and make themselves look like heroes protecting the kids. Even though it usually results in them looking like jackasses
I was a teenager around the time of that infamous "Slender Man" incident back in 2014, and my stepdad threatened to rip the Internet out of the wall if my sister and I ever read, saw, or played any games with Slender Man in it. He along with some other parents were planning to go to the school board too to get the creepy pasta stuff banned in all schools in the district. Thankfully, my mom wasn't a dolt and told him that it was just two stupid kids who did something horrible, but that doesn't mean that all of those creepy pasta internet stuff is bad. She talked him down before he made our whole family look like buffoons
You just described my current situation
Spot on description. *God forbid you suggest a person actually talk to their kid or raise them*
And most of the time it's a mom
I'd call it a "Mother knows best" mentality
Assassination Classroom is about a teacher who supports his students and helps them grow into the best versions of themselves. Arguably, it’s also about not judging a book by its cover.
Yeah and the level of violence is no worse than Naruto.
Ironic
The people taking action are the ones who don't fully understand
There was an Amazing world of gumball episode about this.
And by the end of the series, the students don't even want to kill their teacher anymore because of him actually being an amazing teacher. They respect him, but unfortunately have to go through with it in order to save the world. It's a bittersweet ending and teaches a lot of lessons on morality.

As a 17 year old, I believe some manga makes sense in a high school, while others make sense in other school levels. The Yu-Gi-Oh season 0 manga (before the infamous cards became center stage) probably should be at least 8th grade, maybe 9th onwards. At least, that is something I would say if I wasn't a 6th grader who read it and learned about the original idea of Yu-Gi-Oh and found it cool (was super different from what I'd normally read, I was into Pokemon and deathly afraid of even seeing a Freddy Fazbear. I have repented. I am no longer that level of a wimp.) So I think it should only be considered if anything sexually explicit or hinted at is on a page and drawn. The Yu-Gi-Oh "season 0" manga is close but barely reasonable for that qualification for middle school and onward.
TLDR: manga shouldn't be discouraged in a middle school sense unless it's sexually explicit ect ect. And odds are, it's not even in a school then
As someone currently studying to become library staff, I can tell you that fighting the banning(and challenging) of books is a war librarians have been fighting since time immemorial.

keep in mind that some US states banned the infamous "Maus" book, a very important and touching graphic novel by Art Spiegelmann, depicting the author's family's real experiences during the Holocaust. If a state bans school libraries (and by extend all students) from education surrounding one of the worst genocides in human history, for dubious reasons, that to me is the reddest of flags. In fact, that flag now only misses a white circle and a specifically angled cross and its complete.
For dubious reasons? You mean one of the biggest celebrities (Klanye) emboldening anti semites and Nazis with his rhetoric. They are seizing the moment

@LaidBackDevil🏳️🌈 I think that if the art has elements that make it not suitable for children, it's better to just not expose it to children and wait until they are mature enough (which is subjective and will be interpreted differently by different parents) rather than to edit the art to suit the needs of a child. Agree on your second point though
@LaidBackDevil🏳️🌈 While your points are valid, rewriting it to not harm children could mean very different things depending on the person who does so. Like if someone rewrites a story that features a same-sex couple, they might see the topic as harmful, while others don’t, and write that out.

Assassination Classroom was the first manga series I read at my school and it encapsulates me entirely. It’s a stupid premise with a great execution and the worst thing I “learned” from it is general tactics in defense. But even then it’s not even extensive enough for it to be used in real life!

7:53 as a lifelong spongebob fan, i can assure you that i have never, ever attempted or even _considered_ a real-life ‘panty raid’ because of that episode. the writers literally went out of their way to show that it was a stupid, outdated idea *and then the characters found more wholesome ways to have fun* 😭

The way I instantly knew Moms for Liberty was behind this
I remember an episode of black mirror where they implanted a device to a kid to censor every "bad" thing until they are teenagers.
Hey Charlie, I live in Florida and I go to school in Orange County, which is ground zero for most of this stuff. It has been utterly ridiculous the shit that they have been doing to our already awful school system. One of our school board members, who also happens to be a member of the moms for liberty group, is absolutely fucking nuts. Thank you so much for informing other people about what’s happening not just here, but around the country.
bro, all those children can buy the manga and read it on their own time. School is for educational books only, not ‘fun’ books like manga. You go to the school library to read educational books, and you buy books with your own money to read on your own time that are ‘fun’ books. the school ban isn’t stopping anybody from actually READING the books, just not at SCHOOL (a learning environment). Ya’ll need to chill tf out...
@@crazysilly2914 i agree but theyre banning It for stupid reasons, kids hate school now theyre gonna hate them even More when you cant have a tiny bit of fun because some random Karen in parent's association just heard the name of the manga. Banning "fun" books Is dumb as hell, i can tell you that most school libraries dont have entertaining books and even some books which are outdated as hell.
You know I go to Florida a lot as someone who didn’t grow up there and me and everyone I go with are always just kinda wondering how people live in Florida long term just seems like a wild not real place lol I can’t imagine what going to school there would be like
@@crazysilly2914 it’s not for educational books only kids cannot make money they’re not allowed to work and required to spend 8 hours a day at school but I agree kids should be taught to value education better
@@crazysilly2914 yeah, school is a learning environment and education should be that main priority of it, but the thing is that 90% of the time, kids aren’t even reading books in school unless it’s a textbook or something. The only other times I can think of when kids read any actual books is when they’re assigned to read a book by their teacher (which even then, the teacher usually puts restrictions on what type of book to read so that’s gonna exclude books like manga), read it during recess or lunch, or read it during class (to which it is the teacher’s responsibility to allow it or not). Otherwise, the kid’s just gonna read the book at home, when they probably already have HW. My point is that most of the time when a student checks a book out from a school library, they will almost never actually read it in school and only in their free time, and that’s only on the chance that a student actually likes to read in their free time, so what’s the point in banning “fun” books at school and forcing them to pay for books that interest them out of their own pocket.
The sad part is that the manga actually promotes the bond between a teacher and his students. You would know that if you've read it till the end
and the rejection of institutions
and a persecution complex
and an inflated sense of self
and control through militant force
by appealing to social alienation
The manga sounds completely innapropriate thematically for kids.
@@MikeSW mf u talking like this is the only show that is like this 😭
@@MikeSW and now lets read LITERALLY ANY OTHER FICTION BOOK....
yeah chief this is honestly better than like 85% of them.
@@MikeSW
Spoilers ahead probably
I dunno what you're going on about the story kept tackling many insecurities people have in a zany but inspirational way. The only thing that rejects institution here was how the manga criticizes how some Japanese schools work where the class with problem children are forced into one classroom. The story focuses on showing us that even problematic people (be it from bad parents, various circumstances or etc. ) Can still lead successful and normal lives.
Nothing you have said makes sense except maybe the last point(?) But only then does it do it for the sake of finding a way for this super alien to teach the kids in school. I mean otherwise all we get is just a normal "teacher doing good teacher things" story. And even then the "military" personnel grew to not want to kill him. In the end they only ended up killing the teacher not because of the military but as a request by the teacher himself so I dunno what you're talking about.
Also I dunno wtf do you mean by persecution comolex
@@MikeSW you didnt even read it lol
I personally think that knowing the goods and bads hepls us draw the line, if you only know good of the world good luck every thing will be sun shine and rainbows and god forbid you only see the bad side of the world
the best 1st minute of a video ive seen this year
Assasination classroom is a great manga that shows the lives of students who lost their hope to become a better version of themselfs due to others constant telling them they can never achieve anything. It genuenly has some good tips in life and the prespective of both the teacher and the students. One of the most wholesome, sad and intresting stories ive read so far.
Both the manga and the actual show is great
And now its getting banned in schools. Don't you just *_LOVE_* the American school system?
@@four-en-tee this shit isn’t happening because of the school system, it’s because of Karens and conservatives. They’re the ones banning shit
@@four-en-tee and this shit is why I fucking hate it here and want to move ANYWHERE else.
@@nova14414 Anywhere else? You sure?
I'm midway through the anime, and what really gripped me was how lighthearted and fun it is. The assassination part is the main plot, but it's not even really about that, in my opinion. It's about a teacher and his students. It's funny and lighthearted from what I've seen.

@@markofthewolvessucks8930 knowing most anime, it probably does. *but if children don’t read “problematic” media, they will become unable to recognize subtextual themes.* some of my favorite shows, books and movies are problematic. they have issues, and it doesn’t reflect badly on my morals or on my enjoyment of them. it just means that i was able to recognize the parts i disagreed with, or parts that the author may have included subconsciously, and develop both my moral standing and my understanding of how art imitates life. teach kids to watch media and dissect it! every time a teacher goes “the curtains were blue” they’re just doing a bad attempt of explaining critical thinking! the education system is garbage.
