An early look at the cover for Comic News has confirmed the clues that an adaptation of Yusei Matsui's Shonen Jump hit Assassination Classroom is on the way. The anime is set to air on Fuji TV in 2015, lining up nicely to maybe take over the Dragon Ball Z Kai block when the Buu Arc ends in March. Additionally, a live-action movie is being developed.
A special about a field trip to historic Kyoto was produced for this fall's Jump Super Anime Tour 2013.
Cast for that included:
Korosensei (voiced by Masaya Onosaka in an earlier voice comic/vomic) - the super fast alien homeroom teacher - Tomokazu Seki (Fate's Gilgamesh)
Nagisa Shiota ( Nozomi Yamamoto in vomic) - weak, small student, who happens to be extremely talented, especially in the ability to hide his bloodlust -Nao Tōyama (World God Only Knows's Kanon)
