Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e is...an interesting one. It poses an interesting question at the start of the anime: “Are human beings truly equal?”. The question sort of nabbed my attention, and started to lay down thoughts in my head of what was supposed to follow up in the coming episodes. The idea is interesting, having a school where test results and class behaviors are affecting a point system. And the more points, the higher your ranking are.
However, I feel like the anime doesn't take the story to it's full potential. It doesn't reach all the way. Trying to be psychological anime
...
is very difficult when you constantly get scenes of fan service. Which brings me over to the characters. There's a few characters that are interesting, most of them are very stereotypical and just plain boring. And when you get hints that a person isn't who he/she says it is, the story just doesn't follow up enough. The background information on characters are just not there, except for maybe 2 main characters, and I still feel like they didn't get enough.
The art for characters and environment is nothing special really. I could have wished for more unique characters, instead you could probably find similar characters everywhere.
The anime's OP and ending gets some credit, especially the latter, for being some what unique, and not what you usually hear.
All and all: it's an anime that tries too hard aiming for psychological, and gets lost on the way. But if you wouldn't mind the fan service, give it a try and see if you like it.
