I really like Horikita, she is like an extremely elitist version of Yukino lol. Ayanokouji is also pretty interesting, didn't expect that fight scene at all. He is clearly lying about his past. Kushida didn't turn out to be the super annoying character I envisioned her to be yet so that's also a plus.

It isn't just rushed, numerous points changed


But yeah, it is going extremely faster than the LN for sure.

A lot of people seem to be saying that this was a really rushed episode, but to me it honestly felt as if it was reasonably well-paced. In any case it was interesting to learn about the S-System and also to see some developments in the main group dynamic. It's also nice to see that this S-System does actually provide the students a chance to improve themselves rather than the system being used for arbitrary discrimination like in Assassination Classroom.

Kiyotaka is surely an interesting guy alright, he has those fighting skills, that's for sure. Wonder what's up with this whole S-system.

Nice episode.

This was better, much better in fact.
The info dump certainly helped a lot.
Seems like our plain-at-first-glance MC isn't really plain, he is talented and is hiding something.

Seeing the vulnerable side of Horikita was interesting too. Her brother is a dick though.

Well MC caught me off guard, despite his monotone no fucks given face he dodged those attacks like a pro, MC pulled a 180 on my list.
This episode just got me more hooked, cliche BS beta MC would have gotten his ass kicked then and there and have the girl stop his bro thus saving his ass, glad this didnt pull that route.

But yeah, I liked the episode but the pacing was questionable at parts. There's literally 0 explanation how the whole class passed the midterm; hopefully they'll have an info dump explanation next ep at least. Also looks like they're probably saving a certain scene for later, which actually might not be a bad idea tbh.

Seems this school doesn't place much emphasis on values and moral behaviour . the student council president is the kind go guy who on the sly was going to strike his little sister in her stomach. Some leader he is.

I like our MC.

They'll probably explain it that they did a 2nd group study session as mentioned by LN reader above, that moe blob girl said she will help them too anyway.


The pacing is quite good actually, there's seldom "wait, whut?" moment.

They'll definitely show rooftop scene and 2nd time group-learning. At least in flashbacks...

@EcchiLordMamster
finally someone acknowledging Kushida's beauty. Most beautiful and kindest girl ever <3 and those eyes Aaah. Horikita is fine in swimsuit as well, but she was just sitting straight without showing off anything :P

@ButadonMeitante
The reason why he scored 70 on the most recent exam is because if you score beyond average you would be kicked out. But they dont know what that average is gonna be, so he cant risk it. If everyone in his class do very well on exams and average is higher than 65 then him scoring low there will result in him being expelled. So not risking too much he tried to aim to score relatively high, 70 is not that high but definitely enough to score higher than classes average.

The reason why he tries to score 50 and lower is because he doesnt want to stand out if someone didnt realize.

Btw pretty funny how their smartphones look way too good (Sasuga Lerche) they look even better than smartphone in Isekai smartphone <3

And that fight animation Aaah Hands down to Lerche...

To be honest, this episode wasn't as great as the first but it was fairly enjoyable and interesting itself. Ayanokouji seems like a really strong main character as well as an intelligent one so that's nice to see. Personally, I found the ending where the whole class passed, that too with high grades, was quite the shocker. Seeing Ayanokouji's eye enlarge makes me think there was an involvement from a third party perhaps which he is already aware of or something of the sort, I mean its highly unlikely that he would do something out of the ordinary for his fellow classmates.

Interesting..... never knew piano and calligraphy would allow you to fight like that :P
Obviously there's more to Ayanokouji than meets the eye. Looking forward to seeing just what it is that motivates him to score so low.

Also, how the heck did everyone else manage to boost their scores so suddenly? It makes no sense.... Are their whole class full of lazy geniuses???

And LoL at the ED where they showed how many points everyone has left. That was a nice touch.

I know how it happened because I read the first volume of the LN, but I'd be surprised if they gave more than a brief explanation here. I'm just wondering how much of the skipped content they'll cover in the next episode. If they're just rearranging scenes that's fine with me, if they're completely glancing over them I'll be somewhat bothered. Guess there's nothing to do but wait in that respect. But oh well, soon enough they'll start covering stuff I didn't read so the pacing stuff will probably become less noticeable.

Great ep. Went from "possibly drop" to "must watch". I have determined to study piano and calligraphy. (or was it tea ceremony?)

I have been waiting to watch this the entire week and this is indeed interesting! Instead of an individual race, we are going to witness how a group at the very bottom is going to rise up the rank. Looking forward to the next episode too!!

P.S. Pacing wise feels alright.

They story is definitely very good, really enjoying it! The MC is still a bit dull to me, but his back story looks very good. 50 on every exam? seems to me he did it on purpose, and not just a coincidence!

To be honest, I enjoyed the first episode and started to read the light novel but I am disappointed after watching this one because they skipped too many things.


I do understand that an adaptation can be different.
In my opinion, the first episode was good because they added a self-introduction scene and made some minor changes.
However; in this episode, I do not think that they are respecting the original story.

I most certainly wasn't expecting to see that short fight between Ayanokoji and Horikita's jackass brother. It was pretty cool, and there's definitely something the MC is hding (I highly doubt he knows how to fight because of piano, calligraphy, and tea ceremony). Not to mention the whole thing about him intentionally rigging his entrance exam scores, which also adds suspicion in regards to his past.

I think it didn't really come as a surprise that Class D did well on their exams but I hope they explain how that happened. It feels like it just simply happened out of nowhere, so hopefully they fill in the gaps.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Even if it is rushed I think this pacing is more appropriate. Plus the anime is really just there to boost LN sales anyways... so details can be omitted.

They would probably have to explain how the high scores came about in a flashback. This happens all the time. A sort of cliffhanger type ending to keep us guessing or wanting more.

This MC dodges that stupid punch like a pro. Very interesting story, I hope that it will get explained how they suddenly raised their scores? There is also no way that scoring all subjects on 50 is a concidence.

Episode 2 delivering again, my expectations are increasing.

The phone scene was hilarious, Horikita doesn't approve.

That action scene against the student council president was short but super intense, loving the art and animation of this anime.

Dat cliffhanger, that caught me completely off guard, I need to see how they made things change that hard.

Haven't commented anything about the episode yet due to sleeping afterwards (and no I wasn't bored, Lol) That was fucking awesome. Though, I would say even if it was fast paced, for what it was trying to do it delivered.

3- That Kushina Swimsuit scene plus the after shower scene "the plot" was intense LEL ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wow so they do almost all of vol.1 in 2 episodes, cutting out most of the classes character development. Not too happy about that especially since it hurts the MC the most and the setup for vol.2 will be lacking.

At least the parts that were adapted were done well.


Indeed im sure it is cutting stuff; but if it adapted everything wed likely be sitting at ep 3-6 and still be in vol 1 ; likely trying to do what they can in the time allotted though I understand I never like the cuts/

Ayanokoji is too smart able to rig his test. This show makes me want to dig more about each characters' personality. Cause those students able to score high points in the exam.
