Classroom of the elite seems to always set up cool ideas, and then fuck around with pointless or uninteresting stories. They could have done anything with the things they had introduced in the first half of this show, but instead they focus on the class making sure this generic ass thug character passes his class and isn't expelled. Later on they also bring the different classes to an island to survive on for a week, and they waste an episode on a god damn panty thief.
Now the main character is why I both hate and love this show. The side characters are meh, and i really despise the fan service. In fact I actually hated how big the boobs of like every girl are. I'm all for big anime tiddies, but they definitely over do it, and its clear the size of the titties on the girls (especially that bitch in glasses) is to make up for the lack of personality they have. Now back to the MC. He is this emotionless dude who just kinda stays out of things, despite always being secretly the one controlling everyone. Sometimes I like him for this, sometimes i hate it. The reason i hate it sometimes is because they are trying wayyy too hard to make this dude sound like some philosophical badass. Now sure, I love watching the MC secretly control everyone a lot but sometimes it feels like they are try harding it with the way they present him.
All in all, this anime seems really good on paper but I feel like they could have done a whole lot better. This anime also made me kinda hate boobs and fan service, so thanks for overdoing it. A quick note to all anime creators: IF YOU TAKE YOURSELF SERIOUSLY, INCLUDE LITTLE TO NO FAN SERVICE. I don't make the rules, that's just how it is guys, sorry. Anyways baka and test is better than this, so if you want a show about anime high school factions fighting watch that. Classroom of the Elite has some banger music though, and its enjoyable if you pretend like its satire I suppose.
