Seriously: the system of games and special abilities is breaking my head, I just watch anime to turn off my brain and I find this, bruh

Hiroto is a good guy, he knows how to act well like the rest of the characters but... why do they have to talk so much when doing things? Just do them and that's it!

I think that's my only complaint regarding the anime (for now).

It seems that Rina will be the tsundere of the season unless another girl like that appears, anyway, I like them so I'm not complaining xd

Not ironically: I am enjoying the anime, despite being somewhat pretentious and with a simple story, it is still entertaining with a good dynamic.
(Besides, of course, I like this kind of anime).


I don't know what else to put, oh I know: texto en español que no dice nada importante ni relevante pero aún así lo coloco por si alguien lee las opiniones de los demás xd.

The animation seemed a little more washed than the previous episodes. Also, there needs to be more explanation on the rules for the games because it just gets hard to follow. As of now, it seems like it will be enjoyable but not top tier by any means.

They try so hard with making smart rules and smart plays that it looks like ol' good Deus Ex Machina. He just wins. Somehow.

Better than previous episodes, the game felt interesting but wasn't anything special. The strategies used by hiroto were decent.

There were surely stones in those bags.

About the rules, I agree with some of you it's difficult to follow sometimes and it seems rushed at some points.

I feel that those wins are never fair ( even if I know he cheats but it's just too easy ) I know that is the concept but I can't help but get frustrated about it.
Doesn't it put Hiroto in a position of... a lousy hero?

And I was thinking, Sarasa as the best student, never beaten and all, why can't she help him ? make some strategy ?

That last scene was kinda cute tho
She has god-tier abilities due to being 7 stars, which means all the abilities she can use are actually stronger versions of anything anyone else have access to, so as long as she more or less can predict the strategy of the oponnent she can counter it.
MC has the weakest level of abilities, so even if he knows which ones the oponnent will pick, he can't fully counter them (case in episode 2 that he had to pick 3 times the same to counter one of the oponnent, and just cheated to virtually have 5 skills).
So in the case she could formulate an strategy, it'd be based in her having top tier resources that weren't an option in this case.

Scavenger hunt, get the highest value cards you can find using GPS (still don't understand why there are holograms of them outside forcing MC to suffer that fall).
Once every card has been found, pick 5 and compare them 1v1 against the 5 of the oponnent, highest number wins, 3 wins to win the game.

Is as simple as it could get as a game, but like Megamind said, presentation is everything.

yeah this is getting dropped. not impressed by the games or "tactics " a shame really

yeah I love how they explained everything that was gonna happen and then just showed it in the most basic ass way possible.
Like we are to stupid to figure anything out.

NGNL, Tomodachi Game and Classroom of the Elite at least lets you try to figure out what's happening before they tell you (Tomodachi Game especially) and/or explain it to you in a way while the game is happening in an interesting way, like the word game in NGNL.

And yeah what tactics, they just cheat by hacking every episode. Or the tactics are the most boring uninvite things ever. I'll make you think I'd used this but guess what psych I didn't use that.....wooooooah!

This meme has more "tactics" in it than this show....

This anime is quite a mess so far imo. The rules of the games make sense, but they're not interesting at all. Collecting number cards? This is like a card game for people in elementary school. The abilities make no sense however. He literally just changed the other guys screen to say whatever he wants and then proceeds to easily win the game but getting him to discard all his cards. Huh?

The art style and animations are perfectly fine here, but the story is lackluster and the actual rules of these games are nonsensical. I'm not going to drop it yet because there is potential for a good story and interesting games. However, very much unimpressed so far

I'm not feeling this anime yet (and where the hell is the ecchi??) and the win by bluffing was pretty weak. At least there was a reveal by Rina that Sarasa is safe attending a "normal" school, whatever that is worth.

I don't understand all complaints about the games being confusing or the rules being "skipped". They're blatantly obvious how they work, and a little critical thinking goes a long way.

Overall, I like what I see. But, I'm also not familiar with the source material.

I had to watch it 3 times to figure out that he won by making the guy discard all his cards (it happens in a flash as he waves his hand) but even then he was supposed to have all the other cards on top of those 5. So really he didn't win by being good he won by complete incompetence by a supposed 5 star because he discarded all his cards and worked to collect all the rest of the cards then discarded them too before even playing.

I truly can’t figure out why this show is rated only 6.8. This may be one of the best shows this season to be honest. I feel like it has to do with the ecchi tag. Maybe the manga was more risqué but this show is far from ecchi. There hasn’t been even a sliver of suggestiveness let alone nudity. I think the ecchi tag is scaring off the normal people, and disappointing the degenerates who expected fan service there by making the rating low. It really should be a solid 7.5-8 in my opinion.

I really like this show, my first though was that it will just be imitation of clasroom of the elit, but the mc is very diffrent and also very likeable. The plot twist was very wholesome and the relationships between charakters are nice to watch. I'm glad that for now theres no fanservice or hentai-like scenes.

So many questions pop up this episode.

Does anyone know what abilities did Kugasaki use and what was that about getting (an extra ability?) with emergency mobilization?
What stops someone from just using the rule breaker to whatever suits them or better, what even are the limit of those particularly broken abilities?

Kugasaki discarded all of his cards trying to go in for a draw for whatever reason even though he has the highest number card. The only explanation I can think of is he did not take numerical adjustment ability.

I guess the best hacker in the company got tired of mc's bs and took a vacation, the rest of them are only interns.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Well erm I didn't really have a hard time to read the rules but anyways I thought it was predictable that he is going to choose an ability where rule breaker can occur since finding all the cards in some big districts is tough.

Wtf was that last move in the reveal phase? LOL Shinohara should've lost this game. And then that ending. Ugh 🤦‍♂️

I also just don't like OP. Probably the one I like the least from this season, and what is that reveal with Sarasa not being kidnapped? Why does Shinohara care about these games or any of this?

Ppls are saying he didn't hack...

But a display hack is still a hack...

.

It's like someone decide to make a TV Lotto drawing show a different number at a bar or some other gambling place and then trying to cash-out, but the real numbers aren't changed. What do you think would happen? "Hey, it's just a display bug, no harm done right?" (cops busts in an arrest you for fraud.... oops, guess it wasn't no harm done)

.

Plus... shouldn't everyone including the judges realize he didn't use "rule breaker" but rather the display got hacked by a 3rd party? Since MC literally said out loud it was just a Display Bug... meaning no Rule Breaker, no personal abilities activated by him...

Unlike the other guy with a legit ability to call upon others for help.

.

This speaks to me that everyone in the series is actually stupid AF and can't realize simple things even tho they have hyper advanced tech and hacking skills...

The 5 Star Seiran Kugasaki stands between Hiroto and Sarasa, and challenges him to a duel, though the latter can deal with him easily.

The strategy meeting between the two back at his home, Sarasa seeing Himeji, she is one that also is in the know of her secrets. The Self-Made 27-Form game which Kugasaki is playing, it's an immaculate game with personal abilities that would help Hiroto gain the edge over Kurasaki. But the game challenger has also tricks up his sleeve with his Black Wings ability to gain the cards before Hiroto has any backup plan from Himeji that would end in complete failure.

The one unknown being Urasaka to transport Hiroto to the second card, Kurasaki has collected more than that. And Sarasa has a trick up her sleeve: she deceived her very own Saionji family about the kidnapping, though time is not on her side to save her friend out of her misery. Anywho, they need a solution to win, and Hiroto has one, though that involves a temporary concede to stall time and change the rules whilst keeping it within the rules.

Well, if this is just what both the LN and anime are going for, then it's just games of wishful thinking and convoluted lies of what's fact and truth.

Why would you even consider dueling the top player when he have access to cheat code to modify rule and number, and im sure there is even more to come lol
That explain why the author wanted a fake one without access to those powerup, at least he can tell something, but i still didn't understant anything about the win ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
