| The series improved a little but the whole Tarzan show was weird. 3/5 |
| This arc might be interesting, but I don't know cuz last 3 episode sucks. Kouenji is really weird, I don't get him. 4/5 |
  |
| A lot of Build-up this time, let's hope things start moving next episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| That blond fuckboi. Can he just actually get beat up already? |
 |
| This was a good episode also did no one catch Kushida plotting to ruin Horikita? She purposefully voted Horikita as leader, so if things go south they'll blame the leader. The Chad of Class D, does not care about anyone he basically spent the day having fun. He probably lapped the whole island twice and went back to the ship, this was like going to the gym for him and now he's going home. The Class C girl is 100% going to screw Class D over, the whole scene with her getting beaten up seemed staged, why did she just so happen to get beat up when Horikita was present? Another clue is the bit where Ayanakoji grabs the guy shoulder with his eyes not being visible, he KNEW IT WAS A TRAP but decided to go along with it. Mark my words this will bite Class D in the ass. Also the glasses guy who's getting a lot more screentime is good, from the spoilers I've seen he becomes one of the new friends within the MC's circle. I hope to see a lot of him and I'm happy to know the MC doesn't stick with the 3 idiots. 5/5 episode for me. |

| Once again, I feel like this survival test is quite far-fetched for a show that is established in a normal school setting. Cooperation and leadership skills are not... tested like that. I feel like this show is trying to incorporate many things at once but in doing so it fails to be realistic. The trial was disproportionate to the actual circumstances and was in a very serious tone, the capitalist system with the grades also caused huge drama for no reason, now this survival test which is like a Hunger Games fanfic. I feel like there's a simplistic narrative (a bunch of guys in a school) and the author is trying to do many things that don't exactly fit to it. Anyway, disregarding all of this it was an enjoyable and interesting episode, building up for whatever's next. |

| Koenji... so that's why he's in the class of outcasts. He's the biggest d-bag in all of Japan. |
 |
| I still don't know what the show is really going for, but to hell with it... I was entertained. We got freakin' Tarzan (hopefully his actions will become clear later) and some nice, consequential character interactions that don't just revolve around Horikita. Was really nice to see the sheer lack of "plot", as I hope the rest of the show can maintain this kind of tone. First time in a while for this show that I really wanted the next episode. |
| I need sleep. |
| Oh my days, Koenji, you freakin' buffoon. |
  |
| Well that was way more interesting than anything the anime has showcased up until this point. Why couldn't the whole show about this instead? The game reminded me a bit of something called General we used to play in PE class back in elementary and middle school, except with points instead of role cards. Really fun stuff, just curious what they'll do with it For one, why not just put a tent right next to the bonus point switch and cut a small hole in its backside wall so that you can reenable it from the inside? That way you could have like 10 people go into the tent without any outside spy knowing who the leader was out of the group since they can't see into the tent. Way more reliable than just surrounding 1 or 2 people with body blocks. Oh and Ayanokouji should never refer to Horikita as "leader" even within their own camp in case someone is listening, unless multiple people do it to each other as bait. Speaking of which, that Class A encounter was a pretty blatant bait if I ever saw it, though considering that it's Class A there's a possibility that they made a reverse psychology bait and that that guy actually is the leader after all. I wouldn't discount the possibility at least Either way there's a lot of fun strategies and mind games that can be employed in a setting like this on top of the actual survival aspect. Really looking forward to seeing how this arc plays out. Hopefully it won't disappoint |

| Koenji is so hilarious, such a great character. Amaziiiiing. Pretty much whole class cant keep up with the guy or keep him in check. He does whatever he wants and thats great. Lots of interesting premises and buildups for potentially really amazing stuff to come. I liked Sakura Ayanokoji's moment. Not much Kushida this week but all good. We got even Ike's development/screentime this episode. I like how kind class D is to a class C student, Ayanokoji in general is pretty kind to everyone, even apologizing to Sakura for holding her Also i wonder if the reason why we got Karuizawa Kei so much this episode is because of pissed off fans complaining how she got literally not scenes. Its all better for me, one of the best girls there much better than Horikita for sure, if you are a novel reader especially. |
| welcome to the inferior version of BTOOOM! |
| This shit is boring, everything from the character dialogue, the subject matter they quarrel about (even though logical toilet issues), blended in with typical anime tropes and tee-hee characteristics. They look like they're trying to be so serious but honestly I've felt greater build up in PBS Chanel 13 shows. Really don't care, knew this was bullshit by episode 3 but don't really like dropping stuff. |
| Damn some of these bois got sexist ideas.... smmhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! 😔😔😤😤😤😠😒😒😒 |

| Isn't ayanokuji is supposed to turn to be Light novel readers... spoil me |
| Dammit Kouenji! Good to know Ike is really useful to this even. It really helps. Ara? Did Sakura liked being clamped down by Ayanokouji? I guess she won't really mind if he wants to do lewd things to her. fufu~ I may have a bad feeling about Ibuki, a student from class C in class D. Lets see what will happen next. |
| Koenji is quite the guy. xD Sakura sure had her fun with Ayanakoji this episode. :3 :3 Nice to see class D banding together and take some collective initiative. Hope they make the most out of this test. That ending with Koenji saying "Tsuki ga Kirei" was funny. xD |
 |
| Just an ok episode with a lot of explanation on how the survival test will work and what not...I'm more interested to see what happens next episode |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| Lol wtf Koenji This show, man... |
| I was glad that show is a bit back on track but that stupid guy Koenji ... his presence is stifling. Episode 9 and I guess the show has nothing to do with the its genres lol! Sakura is cute af. |

L-Ryoshi said: Wait a sec, so our beloved Tarzan Koenji just cost the class a full day's worth of meals then? The way he looked didn't seem like he was ill or anything, so I wonder what's actually up with him. Doubt he's sick, and the way he navigates the forest seems too good an advantage to not use for his class.... so why the selfish move? That said, I still don't trust the girl from C Class. She may be acting all aloof and stuff right now, but I wouldn't bet against her going Peter Bailesh on them once she figures out who the leader of D Class is. Keeping her here seems dangerous, but knowing Ayanokouji, he probably has some sort of measures to counter whatever C Class is planning. Also, I don't trust the burly A Class dude is the leader, the way they were conversing made me think that the wimpy guy following him around that he was "managing" was the actual Leader for A Class. Ofc he's selfish, he's narcissistic. Did you forget what he did in episode 1 ? lol |
| I like where this is going, looks like its going to be a very interesting story arc. |
My Queens  |
| is koenji spy from another class or he weirdo? when ayanokouji gonna serious because threat from teacher? this C vs D become complicated now |

Get real! Dude, that's exactly what I am saying. What you describe, which is also what I said, bears no connection to the concept of the show presented in the first episode, i.e. a bunch of guys going to a prestigious school. The show is set in the real world, there's no indication of supernatural nor dystopian elements, thus my comments. |

| That blond tarzan is really weird x_x So is Horikita, she looked sick during this episode.. Again, a stupid conversations between the students about love interests and bathroom.. who cares about that? it's really cringey.. Ike surprisingly become a better character, and that girl from class c, i can't trust her. Maybe that delinquent from class c forced her to do that. 3/5 |
| 101 comments, just want to emphasis it more. "We should appoint a leader that responsible and not much stand out", choose Horikita. It should be said, "let's appoint a leader that's mainstream and other class will obviously know about it" In the end of this arc I'll make a super mega facepalm, if all class D student get shocked that other class know Horikita is the leader. LOL |
| Interesting quote this time actually. So a wholeweek surviving on the island is part of this test then. This will be tough.Looks like there is a plan between class C and elements of Class A here. Its also interesting to see that even in A there are two factions at play. Though the basis is of course survival they can still use the points if they want to but it will be dear. 30k of points for the reward sure is a incentive. So the key concept here is freedom of choice then. Being outdoors and being around people is not Suzune's forte then. Learning to be independant is also part of this test as well it seems. Sharing one toilet between them all will be hard though. Using logic to convice people was cool. Figures that Airi would want to pair with Kiyotaka though. So the spots on the island allow the gaining of bonus points. The leader thing was also interesting as well. So the bold guy is the leader for class A then. Airi's reaction after hiding for so long and having Kiyotaka's hand on her mouth was kinda cute. The tricky thing about spots is that only a leader can take possession of it and that it needs to renewed as too thus revealing the leader. Suzune as the leader hmm she's certainly responsible enough. The spot that they found sure was a nice spot though. Learning how to delegate is also something that a leader should know too. Airi only has eyes on Kiyotaka so i don't think that guy has a chance. Ibuki got abundoned by her class then. Its nice that Ike gets to show his stuff and in the process get others to respect him. As long as the class stays united they should be fine. But using their points wisely is the best advice for them. So their first setback was Koenji deserting them. |

I mean, don't they go to this school because they want to secure a spot on University and get a job, right? It's like doing the same thing with every other students in Japan with extra steps. Pretentious step if I may say. I really think they could go with normal method and they will still have the same result.

| Well I guess this was way better than episodes 7 and 8. I can't complain much. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Lol wtf Koenji XD That guy is dangerous. A hopeless maniac XD Horikita being the leader is predictable tbh. It should've been that glasses guy who was opposing the idea of personal toilet for girls. I wonder if it was a good idea to let Ibuki in their team. I mean, it could've been class C's ploy as far as we know. If left alone, she would've gone to the boat and Class C would've lost their points. Considering that, it seems unlikely they'd want that to happen. |
 |
| Ughh, stupid Koenji >:( other than that crazy Tarzan though, I actually really enjoyed this episode! We got to see the strengths of some characters in a different setting, like Ike and Yukimura. Hope we get to see more of each character's skills and strengths! If only this anime were longer, I'm gonna miss it T^T |
   |
| This anime is getting worst and worst every episode. It's so slow to the point as if i'm watching a slice of life anime. Nothing serious has happened except near the last second of every episode. |
