Muse Asia announced on Monday that it will open its screening of the Gekijōban Ansatsu Kyōshitsu Minna no Jikan (Assassination Classroom the Movie: Everybody's Time) anime film in Malaysia on April 9.
The film will open in Japan on March 20.
Previously announced new cast includes:
The cast members from the previous television anime will reprise their roles for the film.
Masaki Kitamura (After-School Hanako-kun, Gundam Evolve) is directing the film at Lerche. Makoto Uezu returns to pen the script for the film, and Aya Higami (After-School Hanako-kun) is designing the characters. Singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari will perform the film's theme song "Teacher."
The new film contains a full collection of episodes that were left out of the anime due to time constraints. The original manga's author Yūsei Matsui stated that the film is not just a 10th anniversary project, but is also a continuation of the main story.
Matsui's Assassination Classroom manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2016. The manga inspired a 22-episode television anime series that aired in 2015, and a 25-episode second season that aired in 2016. An anime film then opened in Japan in November 2016.
Assassination Classroom also inspired two live-action films that opened in Japan in March 2015 and March 2016, respectively.
