Crunchyroll is expanding its library with the addition of Assassination Classroom the Movie: Our Time, which arrives on the platform this Thursday. The film, which originally premiered in Japanese theaters this past March, will be available with both English, Spanish, and Portuguese subtitles, alongside a full English dub.
Directed by Masaki Kitamura (After-School Hanako-kun) at studio Lerche, the film serves as more than a simple retrospective of the franchise. According to original manga creator Yūsei Matsui, the project functions as a continuation of the main narrative, incorporating key story beats that were omitted from the original 2015-2016 television anime due to time constraints. The film reunites the original voice cast, while singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari provides the theme song, "Teacher."
For those revisiting the series, the film acts as a poignant epilogue, focusing on Nagisa Shiota and Karma Akabane as they return to their former classroom to reflect on the life-changing year spent under the tutelage of Koro-sensei. Despite the original series holding a solid 7.38 rating on MyAnimeList, the franchise remains a standout in the school-action genre, having previously spawned two live-action films and two acclaimed anime seasons. This new release offers fans a rare opportunity to experience expanded lore that bridges the gap between the original manga's conclusion and the students' futures.
