Assassination Classroom: Our Time is an eagerly awaited sequel of one of the most successful anime of the 2010s, bringing Class 3-E and Koro-sensei back to the screen ten years after the initial edition of the show aired. It was founded on the manga by Yusei Matsui, which was designed as a mixture of high-concept sci-fi, school drama, and emotional narrative and created a massive impact on the fans all over the world. The expectations of the Assassination Classroom: Our Time have been very high as the 10th anniversary of the anime is approaching.Assassination Classroom: Our Time will be released on March 20, 2026, in Japanese cinemas and a new theatrical trailer can testify to the growing release date and the project's magnitude. It is an ultimate film that will be packaged as a colossal anniversary-long film and not a regular follow-up because it is supposed to build up the plot of the anime with hitherto uncharted territory. The announcement has made it clear that the project will be complementary to the original series, rather than replacing and overwriting its end.The new trailer immediately creates a sense of nostalgia and underlines the new narrative elements. Common dynamics of the classroom environment, emotional character cries, and the appearance of Koro-sensei are presented next to the scenes that have not been animated at the time of the first run on TV. Instead of returning to the final episode, Assassination Classroom: Our Time is concerned with bridging the narrative gaps that are caused by the temporal limitations of the series being shown.Production-wise, the film is continuous and not an invention. The animation studio Studio Lerche reappears, being visually equivalent to the television version. The move will guarantee that the long-term audiences will find that Assassination Classroom: Our Time is a natural extension of the anime they are used to, not a stylistic change.Koro-sensei (Image Credits: Lerche)The other significant point is that it is confirmed that the original voice cast is playing all the parts in their full intensity. The same actors who performed the emotional burden of the series once again will voice Koro-sensei and Class 3-E, which further supports the anniversary-driven purpose of the series, Assassination Classroom: Our Time. This flow of continuity makes the film even more of a celebratory movie, and not a reboot.Assassination Classroom: our time - Trailer, cast, music and release informationAs the creators of the Assassination Classroom: Our Time, there are a few influential characters from the initial anime. Masaki Kitamura is the director, Makoto Uezu is the screenwriter and series composer, so it is tonally consistent and in terms of story. The design of characters is supervised by Aya Higami, whose work retained the familiar expressions and body language that characterized the emotional appeal of the anime.Musically, the movie has a new theme song called Teacher and is performed by Sora Tomonari. It can be seen that the song is prominently featured in the main trailer and is designed to mirror the mentor-student relationship that the Assassination Classroom: Our Time revolves around. Instead of cozying up to entirely nostalgic songs, the music highlights growth, introspection and resolution.Koro-sensei (Image Credits: Lerche)Assassination Classroom: Our Time, in narrative form, adapts chapters of the manga and scenes involving characters that were never before characters in the TV version. Such additions add more emotional layers to the storyline of a number of Class 3-E students, which gives more context to their motivation and self-development. Notably, the movie is not a recap, and neither does it conflict with the canon.Distribution strategies of theatrical plans go beyond Japan. It has been confirmed that Assassination Classroom: Our Time will be released internationally in several Asian countries, such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India, in 2026. Other locations will be announced in the future and this is in line with the popularity of the franchise globally.To conclude, Assassination Classroom: Our Time is set as a well-crafted anniversary film, but respectful of the original anime and adding to its narrative heritage. The movie, set to release in March 2026 with a confirmed date, features returning staff and cast, unanimated manga source material, and a thematic basis of reflection and growth, which makes it a celebration and expansion of the franchise. To the old fans and to novice ones, Assassination Classroom: Our Time will have been a conclusive sequel in the history of the series.
