| Seems like a pretty decent start so far. It was kind of sad that no one was willing to give up their seat for the old lady, like seriously it won't kill you to stand for a little bit until you reach your destination. These students in class D better step it up or else they're going to be fucked over for a long time to come. Also not really sure why people were surprised by the reveal at the end, even though the synopsis didn't outright spoil that, the fact that it talks about how class D is ridiculed and that the students are "inferior" should have been enough of a hint to figure out there was a catch to the 100,000 points per month thing. pgmhecateii said: It seems interesting, at least to me. I'm sure I couldn't spend $1000 (well, it would be 900 something ) in one month, especially if it were for free. Someone who did would be an idiot. How did they ever get into this so-called "prestigious school"? The synopsis does describe the students in class D as the place where the "inferior" students were dumped. So that's pretty much the sugarcoated way of saying those students aren't exactly the brightest, and explains why some of them would be dumb enough to freely spend that much money in just a month. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| It was a huge ass ''meh'' but the ending still makes me want to see where this is going. But i could see myself dropping it tho.. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| It would be difficult to find anywhere close to that many screwups with good enough grades to go to an elite school. Seems like a pretty big plot hole, but maybe it'll be explained? |
| main character = shitty voice acting, boring, bland, plain character. + edgy main girl oh man, another easy 1/10 |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| this really give Oregairu feeling to it. it piss me off at the beginning with that bastard attitude in the bus, and everyone that ignore the old lady and doesnt want to give their sit to the old lady. the animation looks okay, the cast are good except our MC (boy) i dont like his voice it bother me. well i hope i will get used to it soon. that was quiet a decent start, i like it. i really curious i might check out the novel later. |

| Don't know why many people hate the MC's voice. I actually like this kind of detached character much more than the regular high school MC. So far I am liking this series. This first episode was extremely predictable tho. The teacher said the entire class got 0 points for the month is one of these "if someone do not behave in the class, the entire class is punished" since Horikita and the MC was behaving normally the entire month. Personally, I never understand this mindset of teaching. |
| I actually enjoyed this... Lol. I like the MC's voice mainly because he gives off the whole "I'm dead" vibe in his eyes. |
 |
| I was impressed by this first episode. Looking forward to see how this story will unfold. You might get the impression that this will be similar to Oregairu, but trust me if you pay attention to the details you can tell it's going to head in a totally different direction. I could probably pull an essay-kun on why but I think I'll hold back this time. |
| It's starting off a bit too slowly, I think they could have condensed the first episode quite a bit and have had that punch that happened towards the end of the episode happen in the middle, I'll watch the second episode and see if it really kicks off otherwise I think this one is dead in the water. |
 |
| I guess i can see where people are getting the baka test from with the points but the tone of this show sure as hell doesn't feel like it, with how the walls were set up was expecting a dangaronpa moment but thankfully it didn't get that dark ,but it ended with a more logical outcome only a idiot would think there wouldn't be any repercussions for not doing anything for a whole month she said so right at the start :P. seems okay ..MC really is channeling his 8man even without the fish eyes he makes up for it with his lifeless voice , hopefully since it feels like a lot of focus will be on society the characters don't end up being too 1 dimensional bringing up DR again the characters aren't nearly as quirky as them but i saw some pretty random looking people even saw a brother for once even if they kinda made him stereotypical :/ you can't win with japan lol |
 |
| Okay It's really an interesting anime for me and I haven't read the LN yet so I can't compare anything between the LN and the anime. I think it really has a beautiful art and I love it. But I'm still confused about some things. - "For a certain reason, Kiyotaka was careless on his entrance examination" can somebody tell me what happen? There's no explanation yet (maybe at episode 2 or so). - So the entire class get 0 allowance? or just the student who had a bad behavior? The school kinda remind me of Kibougamine from Danganronpa though lol |
 |
| I'm a little confused about the comedy/romance tags though; the end of the episode seemed pretty dark. This could easily turn into a psychological/thriller/drama anime, and I'd probably prefer it that way. |
 |
| Wow, the different personality of the main character is actually a fresh breath for me this season. I feel like this season (like every other season lol) has too many average MCs and it's super tiring watching the same thing happen over and over again. Some may see the MC as a character with no personality (aka boring) but I sorta like characters who don't become red like a tomato after seeing boobs in a new school. It's a change, but I'm hoping great things from this anime. I realize that it's pretty generic on it's own right now, but it has more potential to get better, compared to a lot of the other anime I've seen this season. That's what I think, at least. |
| Feels like there's some government conspiracy social experiment going on. |
| I enjoy the first episode this pretty good. I like the main characters and the Heroine so far. Lets see how this will turn out. Things are getting Interesting. |
| Collective punishment is pretty bullshit. They deserve to be in the worst class for not even knowing how the school works. Also there are some old ass students in that school. I get that it's the MC's character, but that VA work was way too fucking boring. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
Okocha119 said: Spending an entire episode building up to a reveal that should have been more than obvious to anyone with a brain seems a bit much. Seriously, I have a really hard time believing that every single one of these supposedly smart kids automatically assumed that they'd be getting a 100.000 every month from now on without any conditions, especially when they were explicitly told that the money they originally got was a reward for passing the entrance exam. But apart from that it has definitely been an intriguing start. The setting seems promissing and I've already grown a little attached to our two main characters. Liking them both a lot. I would not be so sure about that, most people don't really use their brains and the idea of instant reward is usually more apealling than the idea saving money. Most people I know would have spent everything in the first week with expesinve shit, and then gone in debt while assuming they would get more free money next month. Also they're teenagers who probably never had to pay a bill. And being good at school doesn't mean having real world skills, they don't even get basic stuff as giving your seat for old people. To me that first scene was just to show how lacking of common sense most of them are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| i'll be one of the very few and say i dig MC's extremely deadpan IDGAF demeanor and totally saw the catch coming as soon as they gave the points out |
| Pretty good so far, I am liking this a lot. I had a feeling that the laziness of the students would come back to haunt them. At least a few of them were smart enough to know better. |

I think it collective punishment is funny as it affects "innocent people", who will eventually get angry and blame the idiots (with reason). Watching the consequences will be quite amusing. |

| This could be really good. The beginning bus scene really set the mood and with that twist at the end things are bound to get worse. Now that we've gotten a glimpse at how awful most of these students are I'm curious to see if they can pull it together for the good of the class. Expect tears from Kushida n the next episode or so... |
| "You're trash" dayum that escalated quickly |
| Hate the MCs voice. I know they're trying go for generic cynical, lazy genius Hachiman clone but his voice is terrible; it made the episode more boring than it should have been. He did so well as Azumi in Tsukigakirei, not sure what happened here. Still, other than that I'm super interested in this one, probably gonna be my favorite of the season. |
| Well, I had some doubt about watching this anime, but it went surprisingly pretty. This one have much of a potential. Hope it keeps it up. But that stupid MC's voice actor who totally set me off at Tsuki ga Kirei as well (I don't have even the urge to complete that anime because of the entire stupid cast voices a side from nothing was pulling my attention. It was really the moment I understand how Voice actors have a very significant role in anime though) However he isn't that ultimately bad here, also the rest of cast cover up for the show someway. |
 |
| Very impressive first episode! I can see this being one of the dark horses for this season! |
| The concept seems really disappointing, as the characters. I hope it will be better in the next episodes, but the only thing I can compliment now is Lershe's visuals and sound |
 |
| I feel way to similar to the 2 mc in back of class... |
| I didn't even notice the voice actor of the main was a beginner. Totally fitting the personality and the age and looks (char design) - the voice and the way he used it. He felt like a pro. On the other hand ... if you want to watch an anime where it is easy to notice that the voice actor (or actress in this case) is a beginner: Try Nana Maru San Batsu (also airing this season). There the voice of the girl made me drop the anime after episode 1 even though the setting seemed okay enough to watch more. But with that annoying voice + too much other better stuff airing I decided to drop early. Really easy to notice that the voice actress was new and one of the worse new ones and the studio probably did not have enough money and needed to hire the worst and cheapest. |
| of course if its a school anime you have to have the snobby arrogant students should of kicked there ass |
| A lot can be said by the first episode of an anime. I really enjoyed it; the setting is nice, the characters are likable. Though it does give off a similar atmosphere and vibe as a lot of other previously aired anime, I can't tell yet if that'll be the downfall of the show. The only real complaint I have about this episode is its predictability. Other than that, I'm really looking forward to the next episode. This could really easily become my favourite anime this season. 4/5 |
| It's the seasonal anime that impressed me the most, it recalls Oregairu (for the three main characters) or Hyouka (for the main character's indolence), I hope the similarities will end here and the plot will become less predictable (I really like the premises), if so it'll definitely become a favourite. I'm looking forward the next episode. |
 |
| Seems a little Oregairu,I like it, Will be one of the best of the season if it continues like this... |

GD1551 said: So can any of the source readers tell us if this lives up to the tags it currently has? Because other than him saying "I blew it" there weren't any jokes here. Also the bitchy girl could have warned the class about what was going to happen as well if she is actually family with the council president, but judging by her comments on the academy she seems to have been left in the dark as well. Additionally I was wondering why the MCs balance didn't go up but it dawned on me that the teacher was referring to the entire class with her rant (I felt kinda stupid here). That actually sets up a pretty interesting scenario of power players in the classroom with some students essentially controlling others directly through their financial situations. It also has the potential to cause a lot of animosity for weaker/misbehaving students. It's also interesting that the MC noticed the camera outside of the convenience store, so it's quite likely that your non classroom activities count toward your worth as well, but I'm not sure about that. I suppose the academy produces results because it forces the best students to pull up those "beneath" them to their level. Overall, pretty interesting show, could be good, could be bad, but it's interesting at least. The only thing that bothered me was no one asked about the merit system when the teacher SPECIFICALLY highlighted it when she explaining the point system. I find that to be extremely odd, but at the same time she's right for calling them out on not trying to find out how it works and why it was so easy. Couldn't they have at least tried to get information from the older students? (Although it seems like the older students weren't willing to give that up anyway.. maybe a school rule?) This is unfortunately too early to call. At least from a non-Japanese reader, who relies on translations of LN and manga. So far the romance and comedy is not too exploited. I mean the comedy maybe, but I do not laugh on people messing up or stupidly overreacting. But it is easy to guess there will be some romantic plot going on, similar to Oregairu. |

| Seems a good start. Dumb teenagers mindlessly blowing away money without a care in the world and getting into debt. Sounds about right. With no rich dads to help them out and rules that disallow them to extort other students for their credit, this is gonna be a fun psychological game to watch. I expect the camera observation was meant to say that the academy has eyes everywhere, so they can't go about doing stupid illegal stuff to steal points and what-not. Can't wait till the dumber kids get screwed over and get desperate. Surprised that nobody thought to ask just how much their monthly stipend was, and just assumed that they'd be getting a big load of credit every month. Specially when the teacher said that the amount they got up front was for their entry into the academy. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Interesting episode even though I dislike oregairu. MC was too relatable. The art is really pretty and I like the vibrant colours. |
| People said this was pretty close to Oregairu, but I can already see distinct differences. The deadpan MC is hilarious. Unlike Hatchiman, this guy literally has no emotion at all (at first I thought it was a bad voice actor, then I realised it was intentional). When he introduced himself in class, I died laughing, props to the voice actor. I'd say that both Oregairu and this anime are just both... realistic, in terms of social interactions than other anime are and that's a reason why they are alike. However, the plot from this anime can go anywhere from here, and I'm really interested to see the implications of being in Class 1-D, and whether or not character development will occur. I wonder what the MC did to deserve no money? Or did the teacher collectively decide the class gets no money? This series tends to have a lot of social messages... |
| The better anime of this season. |
