Assassination classroom. The worlds greatest assassin an octopus whose name no one knows blows up the moon. The UN’s security can’t catch this guy they use fighter jets explosions their best spies and assassins but he’s just too good. He then barges into a meeting of the world’s leaders and makes them an offer they can’t refuse. ‘Let me teach a group of school kids to fight and in the end if they can kill me you win, if they don’t I’ll destroy the world next’. He chooses to teach a group of high school rejects who were banished to learn at the top of a hill. The kids are promised a bazillion dollars if they can kill the dude but he’s just too fast. They form a close bond with their sensei who the affectionately call Kurosensei. He teaches them to believe in themselves and also what makes someone a good assassin. Kurosensei also has a dark and sad past and as the series goes on you wonder whether he’s the villain of the story. I don’t want to add any more spoilers so just watch the thing and if you can’t wait for the episodes to be released read the manga.

The friends split up as soon as they reach the city, Tatsumi planning to join the army.

Incensed at the evil of this world he joins Akame and other freedom fighters in fighting to overthrow the government. It has everything a resistance story should have from an incompetent kid ruler to a twisted army commander, ancient weapons, crazy soldiers , suffering exploitation the works.

10.Full metal Alchemist. Edward and Alphonse Elric are Alchemists. People who can transmute matter into weapons or anything useful. The brothers try to revive their mother but fail miserably and sacrifice something great (In alchemy if you ask for something you must give something e.g a hunk of metal for a sword). Edward loses his arm and Alphonse his whole body and now his spirit resides in a suit of armour. The brothers join the military and begin tracking down a serial killer using alchemy. They also learn of homunculi, special humans made from alchemy and discover the sick history of their long lost father. An interesting story with a sad origin but an overall happy theme to it. Watch both versions of it if you can. Personally I like the one with the sadder ending(I won’t say which one). Status: Complete.
