Koro-sensei Quest!

This is a very cute show. It's a well done parody of Assassination Classroom that manages to parallel the original plot while not taking itself too seriously. The characters are all well reimagined and stand firmly on the line between characterization of themselves and a person with actual depth, leading to some pretty funny moments. The underlying plot unique to this story is pretty clever too as it both makes perfect sense and is absolutely absurd at the same time.
It's definitely not a show to watch if you have't seen the original, however, as it requires background knowledge and would probably not ... be all that funny without it.
Overall, if you are looking for a cute, lighthearted show, this is a must see!

Warning possible Spoilers

After I had finished both Assassination Classroom series and absolutely loved them I was surprised to see this happen (then again AoT did it) and I thought it was unnecessary until I watched it.

The story is basically parody events of both S1 & 2 of Assassination Classroom, but set in a Chibi Fantasy setting.
Honestly a retelling of the AC series, but in a Chibi fantasy setting was actually more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be, it was absolutely funny seeing the tropes being turned into jokes like Karma's name literally meaning the definition of karma, Kaede's short breast size was ... a very common joke used here and of course Nagisa being dressed up in feminine clothing because he is a trap, but these jokes worked really well in the show and it was just a fun ride seeing these characters try to kill Koro-Sensei all over again even if it ended a little different this time.

The characters in their Chibi form was adorable and funny it worked surprisingly well despite the fact it was parodying a show that was serious well mostly serious and it was hilarious seeing these characters joke with each other on their tropes that pretty much defined them from the main series.
It was great seeing moments from the main series be turned into something really comedic and it did work, but I did get tired of seeing the School's mascot being used as constant enemies because I really hated that guy, but seeing it get beaten and burned was actually a delight to see.

The artstyle fitted the Chibi and fantasy aspect of the show and the poorly drawn backgrounds like the class 3-E building and some other areas really reminded me of Mobpsycho 100 even though these are two completely different anime's.

The comedy was gold though there was times that the jokes slowly got repetitive for me, but I enjoyed them none the less plus there was a lot of 4th wall breaking which was always a fun site to and seeing the other characters question Yuzuki whenever she pointed this out was classic , also the way some characters were showed in this series really fitted their personas like for example Professor bitch turned into Seductive Witch which was a clever play on words.

Overall I think this was a very enjoyable parody series and for anyone who is a AC fan you'll definitely find this enjoyable to watch though for someone who isn't really into chibi stuff or didn't get into AC then I would consider missing this.

When I first they were doing a spin-off of assassination classroom I was fairly excited but as I began to watch this unnecessary Trainwreck I had to retract that thought. Sadly everything in the show is subpar with the exception of how all of it is RPG themed now honestly I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone because all it is a regurgitation of assassination classrooms story and terrible RPG jokes, I mean every single character in the show is a one-dimensional joke about RPGs in short these are the reasons why i will not be recommending it to anyone

If you crave more Assasination Classrom or want to revisit the story once again, this is the thing for you. Koro-sensei Quest provides a fun and unique take on the story, where all the characters are put in a fantasy RPG-like setting. Koro-sensei is the big bad, a dungeon boss pretty much, the students are heroes in training, trying to level up so they can beat him, and the rest of the cast are the sterotypical RPG classes: paladins, witches, warriors and such.
*Slight spoilers for the original anime and this one. Prepare for a lot of comparing*

The story is a retelling of the one from ... the original series, just with some twists on it. For example, every student has a "bug" - Karma's luck stat drops drastically when he looks down on somebody, Isogai can only wear the front of his armor because he's poor and so on. There's also the fact that all the events are presented accordingly to the setting. One of the episodes revolves around recruiting Karma to the team instead of him being forced to join the class like in the original. The story is episodic, so the overall plot is only an excuse to provide the fans with constant array of fanservice. What really helps with that are all the references to other anime and to the original, the self aware humor and characters breaking the fourth wall at all times. The story could use some more time and effort, but for a little fanservice series it still did a good job to feel special. It can really stand on its own when necessary, a couple of episodes were entirely new, without any resemblance to the ones from the first anime. If I could have a complaint, it would be that I'd like to see other events being adapted, or at the very least set in a different order.
The characters were mostly the same as their original counterparts, with some small exceptions here and there. They wouldn't work too well if I wouldn't know how they act normally, but that's not a bad thing, it actually helps the episodes flow faster without unnecessary exposition. Nobody should watch this series first anyway. There's no big development throughout, maybe sporadically, but that doesn't affect anything in a big way. The show could benefit from giving more screen time to some of the side characters, but they all got their fair share of the spotlight. If you thought there wasn't enough time spent on characters in the original anime, then you'll most likely think it isn't enough here. Personally, I was satisfied with both.
The art is pretty poor, the buget clearly wasn't the highest, so most of the backgrounds look like they were drawn by a bunch of middle schoolers in their art classes, talented ones, but still learning. The close ups look good, but when there is a wide shot, the characters turn into white blobs. The designs are really nice, I'd say those were the best part of the art style. The animation consists of a lot of still shots, but the movement is there when it's really required.
The music is the same one from the original show. If you liked that one, it's back, there's less of it, but it's there. I can't remember an original track besides the opening, that's once again sang by the seiyuus, only girls this time, and the 8-bit remix of the first opening from the original series as an ED (which is bloody marvelous by the way). However, at the very least, the fantastic voice cast is back, and they're noticeably happy to return into their roles. They all came into with the same energy that made them sound so great in the first place. The series wouldn't be the same without them.
All in all, this series was worth it from the beggining to the end. Definetely expected less from a little side series, and while by no means did it blow me away, it truly exceeded all of my initial thoughts that I came into it with. Ask yourself a question: "Do I want to watch more Assassination Classroom?". If the answer's yes, then you should pick this up. It's only 120 minutes of fanservice, but it was as fun as it sounds, and that's how it should be.

As always, this is purely my opinion and I encourage you to develop your own.

Disclaimer: This review comes from someone who finished the original manga but never watched more than the first few episodes of the regular anime.

Koro Quest is something I mildly dreaded having to watch (the MAL challenge dictated that I watch an ONA and this was one of the first ones that appealed to me). The original manga I hold in considerable high regards for a shounen manga in that it was often more well thought out and interesting than many of its peers. Does this gag manga adaptation hold the same standard of writing? Well...

Koro Quest takes the main storyline of the anime and filters ... it in a fantasy-world gag sort of show that works about half the time. I could understand the main "plot" of the show and what was to come just fine, although if you've never seen or heard of AssClass before you would be twelve kinds of lost in this short series. It definitely feels like a spin-off series but one that packs a ton more detail than one might initially expect, leaving the plot mostly fill in the blanks for those who have already watched or read the series.

The gags themselves are ultimately what makes or breaks this series and for the most part they feel standard in a way that they're taking the baseline jokes of the original manga and stretching them out into absurdity. Sometimes this works, like with Karma constantly getting hit because he looks down and people, while others are just as irritating as in the first iteration, like Nagisa being forced into girl clothes for a joke. How much you like some of AssClass' original jokes will largely determine how you like the gags here.

The two things they do well that work more than poking fun at the actual story is the fantasy/game world ideas and the meta instances. Both of these show a level of actual humor often way more interesting than anything about the actual story. I think the spin-off benefits from being a fantasyeque show as opposed to just the regular story but in a gag manga form.

Overall, I'd say that if you had read/watched AssClass previously and enjoyed it, you'll probably get enough entertainment out of this short series to justify a watch. For anyone wanting to get into AssClass through this, just read the original manga. You'll be nothing but confused with this one.

Hilarious and paying homage to Dragon Quest with Assassination Classroom's typical flavor!

For a comedy anime short lasting 10 minutes each episode following a parody of Dragon Quest mixed in with the meta-humor of Assassination Classroom is amazing bout of character jabbing, video game logic flipped and made aware of and the same old characters from Assassination Classroom but chibied and taken their quirks and strengths into video game logic to hilarious extremes!...from Koro Sensei being the Big Bad who's teaching the heroes, Karma having literal karma, Nagisa's constant crossdressing, Kaede's more apparent crush on Nagisa, Irina Jelavic turned into a seductive witch with charm abilities ... all under an abridged vers. of the Assassination Classroom anime series.

Because of the change of genres to pure comedy, the anime short has a tendency to bring in fanservice (see Irina and Okajima's fantasies) but if anything due to this genre change, it works to it's advantage, although it should be known that Assassination Classroom HAD comedy in it's elements so seeing the genre being focused to comedy more, LA can easily say that with this anime short's setup, it's obvious that Assassination Classroom and by extension Koro-sensei Quest! had it's comedy timed and funny.

For animation, done by Lerche and something of a comedy-side piece to the Assassination Classroom series, Lerche took in all the video game aesthetics and the chibified vers. of all the characters and polished it up to make it a very good looking anime short throughout and LA had no problems with animation for this anime short.

For voice acting, all the returning voice cast comes back and LA has no qualms with any of this. Short and sweet this section is.

Seriously what can LA say about Koro-sensei Quest!, but if your a fan of Assassination Classroom and what's to see a more comedic spin on it with a Dragon Quest video game setting to it, then WATCH Koro-sensei Quest, you'll get a kick out of this!, Koro-sensei Quest is probably one of LA's favorite anime shorts of Winter 2017 and LA wasn't even planning on watching this when it was released!.

Oh, man, it feels really devastating, having to watching a great show filled with hilarious happenings, very adventurious and cheerful, to only end in the most sad outcome possoible, it personally took me days to recover, and then I stumbeled accross this, show I give it a try I said, but the fear of it screwing me over again kept me from stepping in, several months after, I was scrolling down my to watch list, and this picked my attentions, a really strange nostalgic feeling filled me instantly, I really wanted to get some memories on the main series bck, it has really been a ... long time since I watched it, but this time, I never gave in to the fear of being screwed over yet again, I prepared myself mentally and hoped for a better outcome, and that's what I got.

- Story (7.5/10):
At first, it's just blunt episodic events that were very unrelated, but as I got into the show, it really wasn't strange, seeing how the original series was similar, as the episodes go, you will most definitely notice the massive shift of the focus of the story, a lot of plot points are being parodied into a more lightweight comedic approach, which is what I loved, I got enough sad stories at my disposal I guess.
The students, now at a more RPG setting are forced to kill this monster called the Demon King, which is their teacher, as they keep finishing several quests, they gain XP, that will allowed them to kill Kuro-sensei one day.

- Art (7.0/10):
Not the best, but I'm not complaining, the animations are rigid and sluggish at times, but the way everything is drawn, in a more of a hybrid chibi way, it makes the animation on point honestly, the colors are as vibrant as ever if not more, and surprise, surprise, Kuro-sensei has never been this yellow before.

- Sound (8/10):
Seeing how I watched the DUB version of the original series, it really was no other choice for me to see this one DUBed too, and I gotta say, I've never been happier to hear familiar voice before, there was some mastery voice acting in this, with of course some cringy ones, that aren't that relevant anyway, I loved to hear the opening and ending so much, with the latter being a cover of the original one anyways, so win-win I guess!
The old soundtrack was phenomenal, has it always been this epic?

- Character (8.0/10):
I enjoyed seeing all those characters again, they are so many, that I'm surprised that I was familiar with all of them, that was a huge effort to remember all of their names, they are so diverse and unique, you really get the feeling of going and watching the main series just so you can see them, and explore them even more.
Of course, Nagisa is still sexually abused, can't they cant him some slack?

- Enjoyment (6.0/10):
Aside from a few chuckles here and there, there wasn't really much to bring on, the show is basically a huge meme of the main series, it doesn't go to any serious topics, and I gotta say, this is surprisingly over sexualized for this type of shows, I mean, there is some really adult content in here.

- Overall (7.3/10):
I hoçnestly would still recommend this, but only to a more adult audience, because some of this stuff is not PG-13 at all.
It's great for a couple of laughs, and an amazing refreshed of the parent story.

I love this parody of 'Assassination classroom'!
I like the graphic style and the fact that the students have magical powers.
This anime seems like a very funny video-game.
The chibi version of the charas is amazing, they're all cute, while maintaining their personality and their characteristic traits. .
I like the fact that Karma in this version of the story is 'the red demon', because I find that this appellation is perfect for him.
I like the music and also the opening/end songs are really great.
It is a pity that the episodes are short and only twelve.
Prepare to laugh from the beginning to the end!

Koro-sensei Quest is a pretty good parody which retells the story of assassination classroom in a different and less serious setting. The anime is very self-aware and makes sure not to let things get too serious or get stuck on one trope for too long which makes it enjoyable to watch.

The story in Koro-sensei quest is mostly the same as in Assassination Classroom but instead of a normal school it's a magic school and Koro-sensei is a demon lord. The order in which events happen is reminiscent of Assassination classroom but some events are switched around, some are left out and some didn't appear ... in the main anime but appeared in an ONA instead. Watching season 1 and 2 of Assassination Classroom is necessary to follow the story but the ONA isn't required. Overall the story is mostly lighthearted and is completely about comedy.

The characters are the same as in Assassination classroom but adjusted to fit in this alternative universe. The character traits however have been taken to extremes for a comedic effect. In most cases this is pretty funny and works well enough but there can always be a few you dislike.

The animation is pretty lacking since it's chibi characters. You could argue that it helps with the comedy but it also felt like it detracted a bit from the experience. Voice acting is okay and music is used well enough, it even has its own opening.

Overall this parody can be fun to watch if you really liked Assassination Classroom and its characters and want to experience the story in another way; as long as you're prepared for a 100% switch to comedy.

Koro-sensei Quest! is a spin-off of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu,it doesn't add anyhting to the story it's just comedy. This anime is a comedic parody of Dragon Quest. The story is the same as the main anime, but adapted into a fantasy RPG. The comedy is the same as the main anime, but with 4th wall breaks. The art is cute, and perfect for parody mini anime. The animation isn't that smooth, and the background is just lazy. But it's understandable. The sounds aren't really memorable, this anime also uses the same OST from the main anime. The opening theme for this anime is new and original, ... it's perfect for this anime. The ending theme is just the 8-bit version main anime's 1st opening with 30 seconds cut and no vocal, they should've created a new song for the ending theme. The characters in this anime are perfect, but their screentime are messy. I'm not a comedic person however this anime is perfect to kill time, i really enjoyed the 4th wall breaks. Overall this anime is a good parody anime, i give it a 7/10

I never watched chibi animes before. Expected it to be somewhat dumb but funny, but apparently, expectations weren't low enough.

Minuses:
- This show is VERY dumb and it feels like a mockery of original
- Where original Assasination Classroom was funny - this show mostly was just retarded
- Where original Assasination Classroom was dramatic or epic - this show tried to convert that into positive\comedic moments and that appeared to be as horrible mess
- Characters in original all had more or less depth, i liked that show trait. Here they are mostly turned into "crowd", and only some stand out a bit - mostly repeating same stupid ... jokes. For example, an erotic-loving guy who constantly comments about boobs or want to undress girls, or Kayano (green haired girl) - constantly regretting that her boobs are small, etc
- Too much fanservice and erotic humor. And it wasn't funny (so it is a clear minus to me)
- There is some shadow of a story going on here, but it is just a mess (they took some noticeable story points of original show, twisted those, compacted them into 12-ep small show and made it like that
- Nice music, completely ripped of from original and placed however they wanted around the show. It made atmosphere confusing (sometimes giving out-of-place dark tones to this "light" show)

Pluses:
+ Some jokes actually were fun (those were kinda rare as for a comedic anime)
+ ...i guess opening and ending were nice. Is that a plus?

All in all, it felt this was like "an artist challenge" - show, where animators tried to create something without a script and just thrown in all the jokes they could create at the moment. Joke about small boobs 10th time in 2-3 episode window? Goes in. Nagisa turning into girl by force every other episode? Goes in. Screaming fanservice guy overshadowing even main characters of the show? Easy!

Maybe if you like chibi anime with a lot of dumb fanservice jokes it will work for you, for me it mostly didn't

Never have I seen such a piss pour Anime like this one over here. Overall the original Assassination Classroom was meh with its rare good moments and bland characters, but this takes the cake on what I hate the most. This is just a cash grab to earn extra money on this dog water anime with a chibi version.


Story wise:3/10

You wouldn’t expect much from a cash grab spinoff but this is laziest work I’ve seen put into an anime. The Plot is just a comedic version of the original ... plot in Assassination Classroom. The problem with the story is that the original anime was already a comedy so there was no point in making a comedic story,more comedic.


Art:1/10

With these lazy cash grabs (chibi spin-offs) nine times out of ten the animation is piss pour and same thing counts with this one too. The art looks like paper slate characters with 3 frames and mostly stay stagnant. Overall the animation makes TPN season 2 look like Mob psycho 100.

Sound: 4/10

I don’t really care about sound when focusing in anime since I usually just analyze key details but overall the sound was just your typical version of a shitty anime.

Characters: 1/10

I am extremely disappointed at what they did to the characters. The original anime had your fair share of one dimensional characters but also had deep characters like Karma or Irina but in this spinoff all the characters are dumbed down for the comedy aspect of it. I am extremely disappointed how Karma never learned how to overcome his ego and just stayed as your typical delinquent side character.

Enjoyment and Overall: 1/10

Overall I didn’t enjoy this anime. From dumbing down characters to unfunny and bad art and animation I will never come near this trash ever again. I highly recommend to not watch it or else you will waste your time on some trash.
