| lol what a horrible ending, I'm genuinely annoyed with how excited I was when this first started. I really liked this show until the pool stuff, then the island bullshit was just a pain in the ass to sit through, and in the end everything that was foreshadowed and repeatedly brought up (Sakayanagi, Ichinose, Kushida, etc) never went anywhere. I don't care about Ayanokoji's past or reasons for being in school if all they did was give us a few flashbacks every few episodes and try to call that backstory. His final thoughts mean nothing to me since we didn't actually see him treat his classmates like tools (quite the opposite really). It would have been nice, but like everything else it was ultimately wasted. Overall a waste of time. 4/10 |
Danae said: Well at least it offered some sort of conclusion. I've been ranting about the same stuff in almost every episode discussion so I won't repeat the same stuff. I still don't think the show had a clear purpose, it didn't offer any characterization or character development, not even for the MC. It just kept focusing on many random events without a clear purpose or plot. Nothing happened, in the sense of actual consequences. I admit that this could be solely the adaptation's fault and not the LN's. Anyway, 4/10 for me My opinion pretty much this. This episode is a good conclusion, though. 4/5 and 4/10 overall. Still I don't know what's the benefits/missions of this survival summer camp... I really thought this was pointless and doesn't pararel with the premise of the story. |

| WTf.... Ayanokouji is so oooooo damn smart , I'm just amazed that how he plan out all the strategy by himself... He would be a really good war strategist |

| Ayanokoji is like Madara/Aizen/Light type of mindset. And thats why he's so badass and cool. Overall i give this series a 10/10. Really liked it and i know that its not as the ln but w/e :D |
| A shame that it apparently drifted from the LN a lot, I really want to see how Ayanokouji's future plans pan out, now seeing his true colors more. But the chances of a second season seem lower now. |
| It was good. I can't say I was surprised with the twists and turns because these are becoming more common lately. I almost dropped the show 3 episodes in because I was dozing off. The show tries so hard to become shrouded in mystery and be as edgy as possible but didn't work out. It wasn't until very late in the show that the show started to show premise and was actually going somewhere. 7/10 |

| Recommend me an anime |
| At the end I thought, OMG, Kira is back in a new anime *-* wow, no emotions And lucky of him that didn't say that Sakura is just a tool, I would not forgive him... |
| 『 』 |
| So at the end part, is this the part where Ayanokouji slowly becomes an Antagonist? Ayanokouji single-handedly planned all of this so that Class D would become 1st place? damn that was beyond human intelligence! The part where Ayanokouji slowly fades the voice of Horikita, and the part where he said "In this world, winning is everything" I felt like there's something with him... End Card by Tomose Shunsaku was beyond glorious! 4/5. 8/10. |
 |
| -clap hands- Edgy as hell MC. "Winning is everything." |
| MC is a fucking badass "Winning is everything" |
 |
| After all that twisting, an incredible ending like this... Saying "You're just tools" right after the Horikita act like there never was before. |
 |
| Interesting ending, was okay overall. |
 |
| A cunning plan. A scheme that benefited the class. At a price. The series reached an interesting point, in terms of Ayanokouji's actions. I guess there are some who will reach class A, one way or another. I would love to see what happens next. |

I'm not criticizing that you think the show had same-y "quality" (I'd be careful using that word) throughout, but that you dismiss people that have the opinion that the survival island arc is worse than the school shenanigans as brainwashed. It's unnecessarily hyperbolic phrasing, it only further adds to the fire. It's also way too much of an all-encompassing statement, there are people who prefered the survival island arc to the school shenanigans, there are people that thought the school shenanigans were worse than the island arc. It may admittedly be heavily in favor of one direction, but calling these people brainwashed worries me. Also, you seem to misunderstand. I didn't feel adressed by your comment at all, no worries on that end. |

Kougai said: I didn't quite expect an apology either, was merely baffled by the questionable train of thought, but I'll take it haha.I wouldn't even apologize, it's honestly not that serious lmfao. I have my own thoughts about the show though. I wish it kept the serious tone of EP 1's ending, EP's 6's ending, and episode 12's ending throughout the whole show. Either the adaption could have been better, or that's just how the light novel is and I wouldn't personally like it. I'd say it's a bit above average but nothing I'd really recommend. |
| This was pretty interesting from ep to ep, this final arc was also necessary as to have something to push Horikita out of her comfort zone and make her truly realize really can't do everything alone & allies are good to have. Her brother's words that one time came back to haunt her, the ones about confusing independence with isolation. I'd love to see more, but we all know this was it in terms of anime. I do appreciate their efforts of trying to as much as they could in 12 eps, even having some info dumps written on the screen that you'd need to pause to read so they wouldn't cut into screen time. |
PizzaOnPineapple said: I didn't really revoke my opinion, only the use of the word brainwashed :/ I still think a lot of people on the community is easily influenced by what the community thinks as a whole based on past experiences. It's not that uncommon tbh.Kougai said: I didn't quite expect an apology either, was merely baffled by the questionable train of thought, but I'll take it haha.I wouldn't even apologize, it's honestly not that serious lmfao.

It's not that uncommon tbh. However, if you want me to express my concern about your statement as a whole, be my guest: In the particular case of this series, I am not surprised by people saying they dislike what came after ep 7. There is this concept (that I'm sure youre also familiar with) of being more lenient with things you like, and being more critical towards things you dislike/are skeptical of. Cue COTE, a show whose main protagonist is a self-insert for teenagers. They think all of the school shenanigans are "cool", they won't see the lack of substance or the glaring flaws others might find (I humbly refer to my review), and this is fine. They enjoy it, great. Now, they are at the edge of their seat figuratively speaking when Aya says "to not investigate him" at the end of episode 6. Then it happens. The pool episode. The hordes of people that were eagerly awaiting more Aya badassery are furious. This bad experience leads to them being more skeptical of what's to come, however, this does not mean that they'll try to reflect on all the problematic stuff that happened the 6 episodes before this disaster. Then - something else entirely happens, they are on a survival island. This is not what they signed up for, they do not like it. You say you've seen it happening before (me too, with the Sherlock fandom for example). That's because it's a common occurence, a simple concept. It's a mundane thing happening to us on a daily basis. Calling such an elementary concept "brainwashing" is what ticked me off. If youre interested in a video on the subject (loosely), check this video out (warning, it's from digibro. noticed that some people don't like him on here, can't fault them for that tho): https://youtu.be/SsQB9RhixhQ (edited to link bcs player didn't work for some reason) Especially 2:20 onwards is what is happening with this show. |

| If Ayanokouji doesn't want to go to the A class then what is winning for him? Would be great to have a 2nd season but i doubt. I enjoyed this a lot, the OP is very smart and we can clearly see that he knows more than anybody. But i don't like his always the same face xD 8/10 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Whether you like this series or not you must admit it's a fresh take. In an anime world filled with fantasy shounen action and harem, Classroom of the Elite went with a controlled school-life battle royale that, while not groundbreaking, occupies its own niche. I won't say that every twist was impossible to predict, but the mind games were fun and realistic. I had no complaints about the characters either. Most of the screentime fell to the major characters which was as it should be--some series try to do too much but CotE maintained the right level of focus and spread I thought. Personally I would've liked to see more inner monologue from Ayanokouji, but on some level they want to keep his thoughts away from the audience as well because he's an anti-hero of sorts. Overall, a good series. I hope it gets a season 2 but at least we know it wasn't popular enough to be automatically slated for a season 2. At least this seems like a series that's worth reading the source material for. |
| So I guess that's it, another disappointing show from summer season ends. Started out good and interesting, ended up being boring and a waste of time. 5/10. |

zannett said: I think we've had these before. Only thing really different is the point system and the fact that there is this 2-3 character per class inspired rivalry in each class.

At least this seems like a series that's worth reading the source material for. I wish I could agree with you. The "Twist" at the start made me feel there would be some kinda mean-spiritedness common from at least the other classes. But as I stated earlier with the exception of a few per class everyone just acted as normal. Even the meanness that did appear felt phoned in and typical "class D are lower than insects" monologues. The plot progression felt sluggish always and what they centered around was mild stereotypical anime highschool nonsense such as the panty thief, cam operation and even to an extant the "fight" that took place between class C students and the "tough guy" from class D. It may have helped if the story were more focused on school based activities or at least as a collective of characters. They largely looked like pawns in the hands of the two mains. Granted Dandre-dude-bro is playing the role of the aloof chess-master type but autonomy shouldn't hurt his place as a competent student with strong analytical skills. Either way his dead demeanor made the pacing feel that much slower. |

| Well, GG I enjoyed the first half more. 8/10 The second half was Ok. 6/10 In the end, 7/10 |
 |
| well played dude, well played. watching the true colors of ayanokoji is like watching the glorious Onii-sama, Light Yagami, and Hachiman combined, and that's very amusing to me. I hope there was 2nd season for this, definitely would watch. |
| I like the MC so much he gives such mysterious vibes and he's a genius, i thought he would be your typical boring MC but jokes on me he was amazing. Nice deductive skills in the end guessing the leader of each class. And i like the way he thinks that people are just tool for him to reach the top, i like the character overall. And it seems like Ayanokouji starting to build his own harem without him realizing it. Overall score 8/10, i wouldn't mind for a 2nd season |
 |
| Mixed feelings about this show, Ayanokouji and the teacher are interesting characters, but the rest are pretty bland, the setting drags Ayanokouji down as well. It has the potential to be pretty interesting, but it has too many elements that are recicled from your average light novel. Episodes like the pool one are cancer for an anime like this too. |
| Loved it!!! I may even bump it up to a 9 but for now I'm sticking with my score. Hopefully season 2 soon. 8/10 |
 |
| What was even the point of this island event? Just hang out for a couple of days and guess who the leader of the other classes is? That was it? Talk about retarded. |
| This was a very interesting anime. I thought it was going to be shit like most of the school anime i have watched so far, i almost gave up on the genre. It got interesting in the second part and most of all the Island test. I wonder who is really Ayanokouji, because i thought he was a typical school protagonist but judging the way he spoke in the end i can say he is different. Please dont disappoint me season 2 like your predecessor. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| I don't want to spend too long nit picking. And bitching about a popular show. So I'll just say I really wanted to like this one. In spite of the obvious reasons for not liking it. And I was so disappointed by just like the second half of the series. It became poorly paced. The animation plummeted in quality. (Wasn't amazing to begin with). And it became so clearly another long game light novel. With a small time adaptation. That unless it becomes a huge hit and gets two or three seasons. Will never conclude satisfyingly in anime form. At a certain point I'd probably have given this series a 7 out of 10. Now I give it a 5. And feel generous. |
 |
| Ayanokoji outplayed all the teams with his plan. This anime had a lot of potentials, but why it is only 12 episodes!!! I liked the rivalry between the classes and how all the characters were different. I am hoping to see a second season. Great opening, one of my favorites. |
| Very nice ending to the 1st season. I hope it has enough ratings, bd sales, or whatever to warrant a second season. This is Ayanokouji's show. Not Ibuki's or anyone else. |
| Survival arc did suck until this last episode....It wasn't terrible overall but nothing new or special in this show that hasn't been seen....in fact it almost feels this class or group wars to become the top of some form of institution or food chain is becoming a popular story of at least several shows every season now. This story may evolve into something else in the LN, but for the purposes of these 12 episodes....largely felt like a been there seen that thing. |
