Assassination Classroom Marks 10-Year Milestone with 'Minna no Jikan' Film, Revealing Unseen Stories in March 2026

Fans of the critically acclaimed Assassination Classroom anime have significant cause for celebration. A brand-new cinematic experience, titled Assassination Classroom: Minna no Jikan (Everybody’s Time), is officially slated to premiere in Japanese theaters on March 20, 2026. This highly anticipated film commemorates the 10th anniversary of the beloved anime series, promising a rich expansion of the Assassination Classroom universe.

Unlike previous adaptations, including the 2016 recap film Assassination Classroom the Movie: 365 Days, Minna no Jikan will delve into fresh, never-before-animated story arcs and character-centric episodes. These narratives were notably absent from the original 2015-2016 television broadcast. This innovative approach ensures a truly novel viewing experience, offering fans a deeper exploration of Class 3-E's journey. The film is set to spotlight pivotal character development, delivering a blend of the series' signature humor and heartwarming moments.

Exploring New Arcs and Character Stories

Viewers can eagerly anticipate a variety of new arcs. These include Maehara’s personal growth in 'Retaliation Time,' the unveiling of Sugaya’s artistic prowess in 'Art Time,' the engaging 'Swimming Time' featuring Kataoka and Terasaka, and Takebayashi’s compelling narrative in 'Ruler Time: 2nd Hour.' Additionally, charming seasonal tales like 'Summertime' and 'Drowned Time' are also on the roster, promising to enrich the series' lore.

The original Assassination Classroom manga, penned by the masterful Yūsei Matsui, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2016. It has already spawned a highly successful TV anime and two live-action features. This upcoming movie not only honors the enduring legacy of the franchise but also serves as an essential continuation, filling in narrative gaps and satisfying the global fanbase's eager anticipation.

The announcement has already ignited a wave of excitement. Promotional visuals and videos are expected to be released soon, offering tantalizing glimpses of new scenes and confirming the return of beloved cast and crew. Assassination Classroom: Minna no Jikan is poised to be more than just an anniversary tribute; it represents a vital new chapter that promises to deepen the emotional connection and understanding of this extraordinary world.
