Indonesian cinema chain Moxienotion began streaming an English and Indonesian-subtitled teaser video last Thursday for its upcoming opening of Ansatsu Kyōshitsu: Sotsugyō-hen, the second live-action film adaptation based on Yūsei Matsui's Assassination Classroom manga. The film will open in Indonesia on April 20 with the title Assassination Classroom: Graduation.
CGV Blitz is also opening the film, and Encore Films is distributing the film.
Matsui ended the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on March 19, and the film opened in Japan on March 25. The film portrays the manga's ending. Seiji Kishi, the director of the television anime adaptation, also indicated in the magazine that the currently-running second anime season will cover the manga's ending.
The film cast Mirei Kiritani (seen below, top photograph) as Aguri Yukimura, and Hiroki Narimiya (below photograph) as Kōtarō Yanagisawa.
The film also cast Tsuyoshi Abe (below photograph) as Red Eye.
The film also cast an actor for the role of the original "God of Death." [highlight white text to read spoilers] Arashi band member Kazunari Ninomiya, who is voicing Koro-sensei for the live-action films, will play the God of Death. Narimiya and Kiritani will play their characters in a flashback scene that shows how the the God of Death turned into Koro-sensei.
The first live-action film adaptation opened in Japan in March 2015. The film opened in Indonesia last October.
Yūsei Matsui's original manga centers around a class of misfits who repeatedly attempt to kill their teacher to save the world. Unfortunately, their teacher is a bizarre superpowered creature that has already destroyed the moon.
Elex Media Komputindo released the manga's sixth compiled book volume in Indonesia on March 14. The first television anime series premiered in Japan last January, and Animax Asia began airing the series on January 4. A second anime series premiered in Japan on January 7.
