| I enjoyed this anime but I still don't really understand the criteria for the rankings. "Defective" students go in class D? What does that even mean and who decides it? Suzune has perfect grades but shes in class D because shes unsociable or something? What about the other students who have good grades and are also sociable? What about all the crazy people in the upper classes who clearly have issues? There's a bunch of dumb delinquents in class C. Also I vaguely remember episode 1 they said "students cant move up or down classes" yet in this episode they reveal that you can. I was surprised at the end when Suzune started acting all cutesy and opening up to Ayanokoji when if you accept his explanation of events it basically means he used her as a tool until she passed out ill and injured from fighting. You'd think she'd become a bit more wary given how he admitted he was manipulating her to that extent during the test. I give it an 8/10 because it was enjoyable but its impossible to judge the plot because theres so many unanswered questions. |
| Ayanokouji just became one of my favourite mains, dam his a badass. I hope this gets a 2nd season, i want to see more of this Mastermind Ayanokouji! 8/10 |
| This guy singlehandedly saves Horikita and the whole class plus puts them on top of the test, and she's like: ''I guess I can thank you, grudgingly.'' Disappointing how she turned out to be a self-entitled tsundere. Anime as a whole was quite interesting. The only summer anime I even bothered with. Some parts kinda felt filler, but apparently it's even more detailed in the LN (who would've thought), which I'm considering picking up. 8/10 |

| Going to try the novels now, the anime definitely did its job. |

| The concept is there, but it's pretty badly executed. I understand it's probably just the start of a long series, but none of the characters are particularly entertaining nor developed enough to keep me invested in the show while it tries to set up for a grander arc in the future. Just think about it, 12 episodes and we know nothing but the bare minimum about Ayannokouji and Kushida, with Horikita just being a rather direct and (fortunately at least) the only that somewhat had their motivations revealed. I'm interested in reading the light novels to see if it's any better though. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I still don't get why you weebs like that Hirataka girl |
| I like all the MC that are not the old "character that need to protect something or pussy idiot". This MC is good but not so good, he reminds me the MC of Grisaia but with less characterization. Hope that in LN is better. Good anime, not a masterpiece but neither the piece of shit that some people say. 7/10. |

| I can't enjoy watch this anime, Ayanokouji tryhard to be badass, but he looks cringe lmao. |
| All right show but the entire island survival arc was just dumb. 6/10 show with 10/10 waifu bait. |
| Did the adaptation end on volume 3? Also, is it true only vol.1 and 2 has been translated so far? |

| Reaaaally liked the resolution. They used rules that had been clearly introduced before, no asspulls. One thing that always bothered me though is that when they mentioned at the start of the camp that classes could indeed change leader, they didn't really specify what constituted a good reason. Probably they didn't want to draw attention to it, so I thought the solution might be related to it. And of course it did. But yeah, Ayanokoji was a real chessplayer. I liked was that scene at the end with Horikita and Ayanokoji, while you'd think "oh, typical scene for shippers" but Ayanokoji was really "I'm only here to win". That inner monologue was gold. Too bad they only kept hinting at his past, never really explaining. 5/5 for the episode 8/10 series overall Second season please. |
 |
| lol does Ayanokouji think he is Tokuchi Towa? Quoting him and all, you're still beta af Ayanokouji Tokuchi = Alpha Ayanokouji = Beta 7/10 |

| Ayanokouji turning the tables wasn't that surprising, since his expulsion is in the line, so winning the test is must to him.I like the overall concept of the show, the ranks and the power of points, but the direction gone wrong with pacing and execution. And there's unnecessary fanservices, that if were omitted, they could add necessary scenes that would add more depth to the show and its characters development. Though still I enjoyed the show, would like to see sequel. |
 |
| I wanted to know more about Kushida's split personality... they never went into anything with it... |
   |
| Very good last episode. The actions of Ayanokouji to nail the others classes were really good, I was waiting for that moment since the beginning of the arc XD Still, I can't give it more than 7/10. Interesting characters aren't explored at all and we know nothing about them at the end of the season. It looks more like an introduction than a whole season anime. I was very hyped during the firsts episodes, and had very high hopes on this show. And then... We had kind of fillers/fanservice episodes which were just useless... We lost precious time to watch those useless fillers and wasted the opportunity to understand the characters. I have to agree with some of you : terrible execution... I loved several characters, and the season didn't give us any REAL answers on who they are and what they want... For once we have a very interesting and intringuing MC, and the anime doesn't explore it... And given the opinion of all the LN fans I saw on the forum, I doubt we will ever see a 2nd season someday. I personally don't care at all that they changed to relationships of the girls for the benefit of Horikita, but that's unfortunately not the only thing that was screwed up because of the anime execution... So... I guess this is it :/ 7/10, and very disappointing because with this concept and those characters, it could have easily been a 9, maybe even a 10. I had high hopes for this one. A shame, really... |
| Solid 8/10 for me. I agree with other posters that this lost some momentum around the 7-10 episode mark. Ayanakouji's hidden side is that he's actually a dick who only cares for himself coming out on top. He's got multiple girls wrapped around his fingers already, hopefully his attitude changes in the future, I don't like those kinds of characters who act nice on the outside but internally are manipulative as fuck. It works out for the premise of the show, but it makes him a villainy character. |

| Meh... this was such a sub-par adaptation of the source material. I’m not going to miss it, that’s for sure, and if for some miracle, this gets another season, I doubt I’ll watch it.... I’ll just keep reading the LNs instead. 3/10 |

| This anime and MC is trash. First few episodes were somewhat interesting. Soon, though, it completely removed itself from the initially presented atmosphere and setting, the anime completely derailed, decided to fill in the rest with cliche and the story went ape-shit and the final scene was a real kick to the stomach. Just an awful plot twist, MC revealing himself being a sociopath, something edgy twelve year olds think it's cool. Nothing's cool about being a sociopath lmfao, this is exactly what's wrong with today's generation. Brainwashed by media to glorify sociopaths. |

| I hope the LN's get an english release, dont let me down yen press. |

| Arc not "ending"-worthy |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| This was my favorite show of the season. Would really like to see a Season 2. I hear that the roles of the women were switched from the LN, but are there any other big changes in the first season? (please do not spoil what happens after this test) |

| A lot of surprises here! I did not expect Ryuuen to remain in the island, I knew Ibuki was spying for her class, but the whole deal with Katsuragi was really interesting. Horikita was all cute in the end and for the first time we see that the one that will use everyone to get what he wants its Ayanokouji! Not all the bad guys, but someone Horikita trust! It needs a 2nd season for sure! |

| Am I the only one glad enough that Ayanokoji didn't named Sakura as 'never considered a n ally'. Sakura best girl, and Ichinose too never got much love. Looking forward to reading LNs as anime piqued my interest much. Cool MC whose out for himself only, probably directly opposite of Isekai Smartphone. |
| What I don't understand is why this is considered a romance at all. Horikita shows no feelings for Ayanokouji until, like, the last episode where Ayanokouji not only mentally turns her down, but he reveals that she wasn't even considered a human to him, just a tool. I knew Ayanokouji had a problem, we all did, but that makes him look like the biggest asshole ever. The last scene ruined everything that was supposed to be. |

All people includes ya waifu. Sorry to shit in your cereal, mayng. That's right ^^' He didn't directly mention Sakura, but he clearly put everyone in the same bag. Sakura or not, everyone is a tool and everyone can be sacrificed for the sake of his goal. The guy really has a problem. Too bad we (not LN readers) will probably never get to know what exactly is his problem, and when it's coming from. I really liked the fact that the MC was kind of the bad guy for once. I was hoping he would be more of a neutral guy though. Capable of sacrificing some but still protective of some like Sakura or Horikita. I was a little surprised by the final scene, even though I knew that the guy really has a dark side. Turns out it was even darker than I thought. |
| Well, I was only waiting for the edge and i got it in the end. Holy shit was Horikita full on tsundere there. 6/10 |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Guess people still got affected by the "hate" after episode 7. MAL Score would probably be higher it if wasn't for episode 7 probably Lol, talk about being brainwashed. 1st, 2nd and 3rd arc were all equal in quality don't know why people think the 3rd arc was bad(?) goes to show how people are easily influenced by others and somewhat close minded. 7/10 enjoyed it. Hoping we still get a second season :S |

| "All people are nothing but tools" Holy shit the edgy-meter is over 9000 The MC's plan was good but the ending was meh |
