A supersonic alien octopus destroys the moon, invades earth, and threatens to destroy the planet next year if he's not stopped first. But, he's virtually invincible, so to make the fight fair he agrees to become teacher to a group of reject Japanese middle school kids, training them in math, science, and the art of assassination, so that one of them might be able to kill him in time to save the planet.
The style is very reminiscent of Battle League Horumo, what with the cartoonish big smiley head monster integrated into the school environment. It's silly, and it doesn't really make logical sense, but it's really enjoyable fun. Look for a sequel next year.
