Interesting concept terribly executed, one of the worst shows this season.


Ok then tell me 20 shows from this season that were better.
I started around 25 shows this season and dropped over 10 of them, all were A LOT worse than this anime and a good part of those i have not dropped are also worse. So trust me, this anime is not anywhere close to being one of the worst of the season.

This was a solid show in the end, some parts could've been handled better like the pool episode was actually MC's plan to get dirt on others but they skimmed over that for some reason

I hope someone publishes the LN and they consider making another season (even though that unlikely)

I was on board the hype for the first 4 or 5 episodes then I was kinda teetering for the middle and the ending just killed it. Oh Ayanokoji is the real enemy all along, I mean...could they be anymore generic? Kinda sad how this series went. Good concept, poor execution indeed. From what could have been an 8 from me is basically a weak 6/10.
Don't believe the hype.

I was right all along, the series ends with MC past still unknown and only we have some parts. I think that the shock factor of the win of Class D is not stong enough to impact. The final is 'meh' and is like 'read the novel' but overall the anime is dissapointing. Interesting premise but wasted potential and terribly executed after episode 5 with excessive fanservice and a lot of boring scenes. 2/5. Anime overall: 4/10

I swear, this really needs a second season. Kiyotaka is simply full of mysteries. I wish the English translation wasn't so slow, but oh well. I guess I have the patience for now.

Decent finale though. Horikita going all tsun at the end was adorable, lmao.

9/10.

Lame finale but the end made me NEED a season 2.

I have a love/hate relationship with this anime. I thought the first half was amazing, but the second half was dumb and I felt like it was building up to a climax that never happened, instead focusing on stupid conflicts like who stole the panties (did we ever find out???).

Also what happened to Kushida and Sakura? Both had the potential to be good characters, but pretty much vanished as the show went on.

Loved MC evil genius and Horikita though. 8/10

Huh, so this is the end. The last episode was good, at least comparing it to the previous couple of episodes, but honestly, it isn't amazing. The pace was cranked the hell up for this episode since they went so slow in the previous ones. It almost felt as if the creators thought the viewer was dumb, they did a whole lot of tell and not show in this episode. I mean, I will watch a season two if it comes out, but this series ended up being weak.

This serie was a disaster one after another. Potential wasted, forced plot going nowhere, insufferable atmosphere that wants to take itself too seriously (the cringe is really strong), flat, boring and edgys characters with zero development (flashback ≠ development) and pretentious and stupids dialogues, a lot of exposure and no subtlety. And how do you can be excited with someone so dull as Ayanokouji? he is just as interesting as knowing if a rock comes from the earth or a meteorite

*sigh* Anyways, I'm sure this year there were worse shows, but among those I saw, this was one of the worst, only surpassed for now by Masamune-kun no Revenge. I hope never release a second season, the world is already bad enough. 3/10

Horikita's development throughout the series has been freaking awesome! Honestly yeah I ship her and Ayanokoji but after his rant about only caring about getting W's aka "WINNING" I hope he doesn't end up with anyone. Just rising in ranks with whoever he needs to use to get there. That makes Ayanokoji fucking awesome in my opinion.

Every week this series failed to disappoint me. Easily best of the season and honestly one of the best of the year.

10/10

Also produced two of the best characters of the year in Horikita and Ayanokoji.

When the series started I thought it would be one of the top 3 or so shows of the season. It's such a clever premise with interesting characters (twisted, in this case) to make it interesting but too many of the episodes got away from that falling back on anime tropes. So 7/10 and hoping for a much stronger season 2 sometime soon.

i don't even know where to begin with this show from the start it never sold me but kept me somewhat interested in it's potential but every week it got to point of doing something interesting but then never went any where and progressively got worse till the end when it was to late to save it. can easily sum it up as one of the most disappointing shows for me this summer 6.5/10


all this talk about Ayanokoji being the best character when i'm like yeah no shit because there were like one or two other noteworthy characters that had some amount of focus lol everyone else got gutted. plus people love OP characters like this with a hint of edge

The ending monologue tho 😑 I knew there was a dark side to Ayanokoji but not that deep. Low key wanted him to like Horikta. I really liked how it was an isolated elite school that was based on points and all the facilities that were available to them looked cool.

Note: I sometimes forgot to read the rules... That's why I sometimes getting banned!

9/10 for the whole series "can't be change anymore!"
5/5 Best episode for now... "this one surely can't be change."

It was a very good anime until episode 6, I would give it an 8 or 9/10, but episode 7 and 8 were so out of place, and then 9, 10 and 11 caused mixed feelings in me. I think that the characters of class D were too dumb just to make the MC and the people of the other classes seem smart. Episode 12 was good but not that good. I'm going with a 7/10 because of the first half of the season. I will not lie, I would watch another season, but I am glad that this season is over.

I really liked the beginning of this show, but it went downhill during this island arc. I don't care for any of the characters, and it was way too convenient for class D to be the winners. Way too much detail is left out for a season two that we may never get. All in all it is a 6/10 for me. It is really a shame. This series had so much potential.

Oh, it's over? To be quite honest, that didn't feel THAT much like a finale, but this episode was better than the ones we had previously that were from 7 over. I think.

Okay, well I will give it a 6. I really wanted to like this a lot, but honestly, it was a major disappointment after the 6th episode. The 7th one especially felt unnecessary and weird, and no, it's not because it's a fanservice episode since I don't really mind the kind of stuff.

Yeah, of course I'm gonna trust you....

And I don't why I should bother myself with listing them,if you can look it up yourself, I picked up 33 shows this season and had also 5 left overs from the previous one, they're all on my list. And I gotta say, worse ones were.

Battle Girl High School and Smartphone Isekai whatever.

OH MY GOD! I NEED SEASON 2 NOW!
I love this show and how it keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially at the end of the episode where Ayanokoji reveals (in monologue) that he thinks of no one as an ally and (currently) only has winning on his mind, willing to use other people.
Also, I loved Horikita's tsundere behavior at the end. I doubt they'll become a thing since romance isn't heavy whatsoever in this anime but I still ship them regardless.

I kind of predicted half of it, and was half surprised.

- Knew that Ayanokoji set up the fire and plotted the entire thing to get Ibuki to steal the card.
- Was genuinely surprised that Ryuen was still on the island and Ibuki really was a spy.
- Was not surprised that Ayanokoji went along with the idea of changing class leader.
- Was surprised about Ryuen's deal with Baldy and how they both fucked themselves over.
- Was also surprised D class came in first place. Would've bet on second place.

Though they never revealed the real panty thief.

We got to see a tiny bit more of evil Kushida, but she managed to keep herself composed since people were nearby.

We also finally got to see that Ichinose isn't the goody-goody that she pretends to be (not that any viewer actually trusted her). Turns out she's amassing all of her points to change classes to one of her choosing...A class obviously. So her loyalty is to herself. Still curious how she managed to rack up and save that metric fuck ton of points though. That's more than A class students.

We got a shit load of revelations on Ayanokoji. The person he cant stand is his father. Although we don't know if his father ran the lab/school place Ayanokoji was in (which seems likely) or if he just was a trash dad who sent him there and encouraged it. We also got a taste of his hidden side now. Turns out that despite all of this class bonding and helping all of his classmates all the time, he literally gives no fucks about them. They're just pawns used as a means to an end for him to "win". Also explains why he's a good fighter, since he was brainwashed with the mindset to never lose at anything. His situation was also compared to the story of Icarus, which is rather ominous and foreshadowing, though hopefully the goal is for him to change his own "fate of Icarus".

I'm sure Ayanokoji will get a lot of flak now in the thread, and somewhat rightfully so, but just remember he was brainwashed and forced into those beliefs. His brain has basically been rewired through what was probably a torturous, fucked up school/lab to make super elite children. And he was the only one who made it through to the end since he was able to change to adapt and survive it.

Himitsu_17 said:
Wait... If all that matters is that he wins, then WHY didn't he directly access A class ? Can't bullshit the "didn't bother" or something like that, with such a twist.
Probably because the circumstances changed. He never wanted to be in the elite A class. His idea of "winning" is going against what his father would've wanted and what the fucked up program he was in taught him...to be and live an average/normal lifestyle. He was forced to be a super child that could do anything. Living school life as an under-the-radar, average Joe Schmoe is the ultimate spit in the face and act of defiance of that ideology.

He's now forced to "win" and reach for A class because the D class teacher is black-mailing him. The teachers move up the ranks with their students (AFAIK) so she has some ulterior motive as well that's she's pushing on to him since he's above and beyond the most, and really ONLY capable person of doing it.

Shame that this series finally became more interesting at the end. I heard that this is where the real story actually begins, but considering how much the Japanese didn't like this adaptation a few weeks ago, it's a bit hard to see a second season happening. I guess we'll see when the BD sales are released.
