Episode 2:

That was fun. From the spoiler[baseball, flowers, and sensei's craziness comes humor in style. I also love how chill sensei is from the beginning even though students are trying to take him out lol]

Actually, spoiler[I wonder how that will work out with the gimmicks with baseball.] Hope to see more of that as well in humorous fashion. Great episode.

spoiler[Baseball attack] was an epic fail.
Koro sensei was totally looking down on them.
spoiler[Sugino got some seemingly harsh news about his baseball aspirations.]
That Koro sensei sure is an unusual being.
He even got spoiler[punished by the students] LOL
That spoiler[new character that's coming next time looks ominous.]
I'm liking this anime more & more!

Episode 2

I liked the switch of spoiler[smiling friendly students to grabbing their knives, and then him showing off and getting in trouble]. Followed by the spoiler[handicap].

Also, according to the newspaper, it looks like the wife spoiler[of the guy he tentacled was envious of her husband].

I already follow this series in its original format, so the fun comes from seeing how the adaptation brings to life one of the most entertaining and deservedly popular entries in the Shounen Jump stable.

I don't really have a complaint with the voice actors chosen for the roles, Koro-sensei's laugh and mannerisms are executed as best as I imagine them from the source material, the sound effects of his tentacles are realistic (as can be expected from a spoiler[biologically-modified organism ] )

Karasuma's voice sounds about right, while the rest of the students actually sound like secondary school students. Nagisa in particular more or less fits the personality exhibited at the start of the series but I'm hoping for more depending on how long the adaptation lasts.

Since there's tons of material to play around with (and with most story arcs easily incorporated into 1/2 an episode), it should be fun to see how the project goes as the rest of the cast are introduced and the school year progresses. It won't be complete since the source material isn't finished yet, but I'm hoping to see spoiler[at least the Okinawa arc finished ] by the time the series finishes its run.

Someone should try poison. I mean, anything involving movement just ain't gonna work.

It's rare that I enjoy a male anime character so much. And I'm not talking about Nagisa. Koro Sensei is highly endearing with his almost moe tentacles.

Episode 3:

Welp, spoiler[it looks like Karma showed up this episode. What a boss. And lol, all those sensei moments like having tea and just chilling around always cracks me up with the tense mood going on.]

His rage was also delicious though.

Koro sensei sure is a fun creature ^^"
spoiler[New gym class looked more like combat training.]
Guess it will do them good in the future.
spoiler[Karma is back]... I kid you not.
Damn, that kid sure is a trouble maker.
He's probably thespoiler[ only one who can be a real threat to Koro sensei.
Karma seems to be exploiting all of his weak spots.
Koro retaliated with doing the same.
That kid was seriously damaged.
Koro just might rehabilitate him with time..]

Don't get mad, get even. Even if the opposition moves at a top speed of Mach 20.

Episode 3

Karma is quite cool, He was really able to spoiler[start getting into Koro Sensei mind]. But Koro Sensei was able to spoiler[collect himself and do the same thing back by being a good teacher].

Looks like the forum did a rollback and lost 2 weeks worth of posts.

This week was fun, seeing Koro-Sensei spoiler[make funny faces depending on what sort of poison he's fed with. The rest of the episode seems to be moving things along nicely as per the source material. Now to see what the school's director has in store for Class E. ]

I only started watching this about the time ANN went offline so I never saw the posts you refer to. One question: did anyone ever clue Blood\ in that Nagisa is a male?

Episode 6:

That was great, especially with the spoiler[test taking part. For what's worth, the high expectations that Koro-sensei had for his students paid off big time in terms of confidence.]

spoiler[Nagisa and the others had some doubts at first but after going through with what sensei taught them, they definitely qualify as potential assassins imo.]

On another note, I heard about the DUBS recently. Not sure how I feel about it tbh until i see the first episode there myself..

Koro brought one-on-one teaching up to a whole new level.
He should just stay a teacher forever.
It's just a shame not to keep using his talent.
Hope he drops the whole "destroying the world" thing.
spoiler[Principal] makes an appearance.. not good.
Unbelievable, he actually wants spoiler[Class E to remain bad.
Looks like Koro totally doesn't care about what the Principal wants.
Midterms were fun.. not.
That bastard of a principle changed things on purpose.]

I expected as much..
