Synopsis

On the surface, Koudo Ikusei Senior High School is a utopia. The students enjoy an unparalleled amount of freedom, and it is ranked highly in Japan. However, the reality is less than ideal. Four classes, A through D, are ranked in order of merit, and only the top classes receive favorable treatment.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is a student of Class D, where the school dumps its worst. There he meets the unsociable Suzune Horikita, who believes she was placed in Class D by mistake and desires to climb all the way to Class A, and the seemingly amicable class idol Kikyou Kushida, whose aim is to make as many friends as possible.

While class membership is permanent, class rankings are not; students in lower ranked classes can rise in rankings if they score better than those in the top ones. Additionally, in Class D, there are no bars on what methods can be used to get ahead. In this cutthroat school, can they prevail against the odds and reach the top?

I watched this anime in an attempt of trying to get out of the not watching anime phase now I can’t say if I’m out of that phase but I was definitely able to binge it and with that said it is a good anime it explores something very interesting concepts and ayanokoji is a very interesting character the ending really gets touched for what is going to happen next as for the animation it’s fine puts me off at times especially kushida i hate her as of now but I think there will be more to explore about her character but for now 7.6/10 ...

Mixed Feelings
The entire season felt like a prologue or an exposition for the anime. Certain episodes like those that happen on the island were not really relevant to the plot. They just introduce more characters. There were in my opinion only two plot twists throughout the story, which is fine although surprising since I expected this anime to have more. But again, the season may have served as an exposition.

Despite that, it was an easy watch. The last scene of this first season is possibly the only reason I am choosing to continue watching it. I hope the second season will be as easy to watch ...

the MC's character development is just awful. guy does smirk for 3 seasons and doesn't give a damn about anyone. i mean this had to change at some point in his supposed character development. events are few overall.and they are mostly awful and full of fan service. the art is great. but it doesn't salvage the anime as a whole. the show itself is boring. the only good moments are the MC's checkmate moments where his plans fall into place. but that is approximately 3 times in 3 seasons . boring indeed. could've been one of the greats if it was executed properly. ...
