In this Anime, Everyone is using everyone
Kiyotaka is using Kei and many others as a pawn to reach class A
Where he is being used by a certain someone for the same reason
Interesting………..

In the end Kei is just another tool for future use. Really curious what kind of girl can actually shake this man heart. Someone who saves him? like who? every girl is inferior to him.

Great szn although some scenes were not adapted like the LN it was still enjoyable. Tbh studio lerche made this szn for the people who already read the LN and those who are anime only they did a good job at both. Some changes were cool like the rooftop scene but others were ok but overall good szn 8/10 for me. Cant wait to see on how they do szn .

As an anime only who just started reading LN, what made me impressed this season:

> Banger Ops
> Kushida's character getting more development and shown the mirror of truth
> Horikita giving up being alone and instead choose to get along well with her classmates which is a really big thing
> Sudou being submissive and obeying Horikita
> Kei Karuizawa's character development
> Ayanokoji's mindgames with Kei
> Ryuuen being shown his place
> Episode 12 & 13
> Arisu's catchy style and that way of ending it on a cliffhanger yet again!

What disappointed me:
> The animation &art around the episode number 4,5 & 6 wasn't upto mark
> First few episodes felt rushed to me

Despite all these it was one of my most favourite anime this season

Definitely a low tier 9/10 for me, I might reconsider my ratings after reading LN upto volume 7.5

Wait for the season 3 begins now!!!!!

I really liked this season :)
Ayanokoji is soooo smart, i love his character !

I haven't read the LN so I don't really know if it's a good adaptation but I enjoyed it :)

Can't wait for S3 =)

So if I'm not mistaken, Ryuen is still going to be a player in the grand scheme of things- another tool, another weapon added to Ayanokouji's arsenal. I'm glad he's still in the game; even though he's been the antagonist for the whole season, our time with him still felt too short. Probably thanks to the extremely rushed nature of these adaptions. This is a series where I definitely don't want characters thrown away when the plot decides they're done with them. Instead, keep them as an additional moving piece to the story.

It's another 5/10 as an anime just like season 1, although even more rushed (adapting FOUR volumes this time around as opposed to three. FIVE actually, counting this one which is all of 7.5), and with a less consistent production quality (there was that one episode or two with the off-models). It's not terrible, it's still mildly enjoyable, but by no means again does it barely do any real justice to the LN's (I've just recently decided to read them and am only on volume 3 rn, but watching this you can just tell without knowing how many volumes they covered, that they skipped A LOT of stuff.), and it adds up to just being simply "ok"; hence the 5/10 score I believe it deserves. However episode 12 of course went hard asf so for that alone it gets a bump up in its score.

6/10

Imagine if like 10 years from now, this LN series is properly adapted in full, in its entirety, without disregarding a single line. It would take the anime world by storm. It's not highest rated LN (aside from the monogatari series) on mal for no reason.

Ryuen is pretty much done as Mio tries to find for him and Ayanokouji sets his sight on him, while Karuizawa thorughout her ordeal, comes to realize that she has feelings for the former. This is definitely Volume 7.5 cramped into an entire episode.

Sato asking for dating advice from Karuizawa to form her dating plan with Ayanokouji since she has experience with Hirata, and doing all at one go on Christmas seems excessive for a first date. And to make matters more perplexed for the latter, Sato requesting a double date makes her feelings more frazzled if Ayanokouji is gonna use her as a tool or purely for romance. And as it as, the man himself requesting the same info from Karuizawa, it's hard to tell what exactly the mastermind is thinking.

Suzune's inquisition into the Student Council by her own upstanding brother from Ayanokouji's info (which the former will not relent), and the meeting with Ryuen on Christmas Eve to close up the plan's puzzle and discuss about the only rodent left that is Kushida, he's hell bent on getting her expelled.

The Christmas double date goes as intended as the 4 people spend the day together, and all seems as Sato's plans were slowly coming into fruition, but she just couldn't figure out Ayanokouji's train of thoughts for him to accept her as boyfriend-girlfriend. As expected, he can only trust in Karuizawa, and his affection is piled along with his present to her being cold medicine and calling her by her first name, Kei.

The girl's feelings for the boy's absolute pawn, this relationship will really test of their resilience going forward in Season 3, as Arisu makes her grand entrance with knowledge of the White Room, capable of replacing the ultimate genius that is the son.

A series that just continues its horrific adaptation, Season 3 to roll on next year.
Gonna watch the anime towards the end of the 1st Year arc.

This adaptation is absolutely shit man. I was like ok with all eps until this one came out. They already ruined many scenes including one of my most favourite Arisu scene and this ep. I've never complained but this ep made me talk shit about the adaptation.

Actually, in the LN there's parts of Kiyo's monologue that shows that he may actually feel something regarding Kei since he contradicts himself a lot when it comes to her.

There's this one that happens after he saves her from Ryuuen:

"It would be sacrilegious to let go of a pawn like Karuizawa. Her usefulness is secondary, there's nothing more important than keeping her in hand."

And there's the one that happens during this episode,in the moment where he mentions that Kei is a pawn:

"In this one year, looking back the one I’ve gotten the closest to may be Kei who’s behind me. This is likely something Kei herself also feels. Before I realized it, she had sublimed into an essential existence for me. To call this friendship, might be being somewhat rude to Kei but………it’s just, from now on, if I can aim for Class A and sever my connection with the student council, at that time we could be friends……no, I feel like it could change into something beyond that."

As you can see, anime makes Kiyotaka edgier.

This season was simply excellent!
---
The last episode really brought out quite a bit about how Ayanokoji thinks ahead and manipulates people. Indeed emotionless, but the aftermath of the fight with Ryuuen shows how much more calculating he can be.

For Karuizawa on the other hand, Ayanokoji knows just what to say and do and without a doubt she's definitely head over heels.

It will be interesting to see how Ayanokoji fairs in his game of chess (with his pawns) especially since it seems like he is up against an equally skilled opponent. Can't wait for Season 3.

The anime did Satou dirty. It’s was no where near as harsh as the LN. In the LN, after she’s rejected, he even said he’d still like to hangout with her again because he genuinely had fun. But of course that wouldn’t fit the anime’s Ayanokouji character. Best girl btw

In the LN he doesn't say that, he even smiles at her because he actually really feels bad for her, and from his monologues you can see that he really wants to have normal feelings but he just can't.

The anime kinda ruined his character there.

I've seen so many mixed opinions about this, as expected lol. I think that this last episode was quite quite relaxing compared to the other drama packed episodes, a decent way to end the season. Although this show is nothing special, definitely going to watch season three for the maybe finale?

Although the first half of the season is really weird(except the first episode), but the second half is really great. And the ending to this episode reveals a new rival to Ayanokouji, really exited for s3!

1st season was mind-blowing. It was so unexpected. I loved the cold gaze of ayanokoji's eyes (only for 1st season). Then season 2 was released after long years of waiting and high anticipation. The same studio but the animation was getting lazier. It ended so abruptly like they were so impatient to get the job done. A lot of things were so freakin' stiff, it was annoying. But here I am, looking at the rating, and it's ridiculously high for this kind of quality. Season 3? I hope ayanokoji kills somebody brutally or something, then it's going to be worth it.

Why did they make Kiyo edgier? Especially that last monologue. Also, what do you mean pawn lol? He himself admitted that Karuizawa's usefulness is secondary. And they unironically became partners in V7.5. But the anime Kiyo somehow missed all that development? They completely butchered the volume.




Probably to get normal weebs to get hooked by this series. When I was young I really like edgy character. That's probably the reason. They want to attract younger viewer to buy the blu ray
