So, The story of classroom of the elite is a very unique one, i guess as it is very different from your average everyday kind of school anime as this anime not only has a very different concept from other kind of school anime but this anime also likes to lean into the more psychological and mind game sort of thing, and well, the story of classroom of the elite kinda slaps as it doesn't really fail to entertain but it also doesn’t fail at keeping the plot interesting and simple but mixing a tiny amount of complexity to draw in the viewer, this show also likes to stick to the point but yes, it does maybe drift off at one or two episodes but even when the show isn’t really focusing on the plot too much it still finds a way set up or build up to something, the story of this show always keeps things entertaining,simple but also a little complex and because of that it can appeal to many types of people including you guys! This show also doesn't forget to add some mystery to the story and the plot as seen with the mystery of kiyotaka’s past. Speaking of the past of the kiyotaka let’s now move on to the characters.
So, The characters were very different from each other as there is Suzune Horikita who is a beautiful girl who sits next to Ayanokouji. She is the opposite of Ayanokouji when it comes to friendship; she disregards it and thinks of making friends unnecessary, thus she does not communicate much with her classmates. She is not convinced that she was placed in the D class, therefore she aims to get promoted to the A class.Then there is Airi sakura who is a shy and quiet girl from class 1-D that struggles to communicate with everyone within the school, even though she wants to be able to.so there are many different types of characters that are introduced to us through this show and this show does a very good job at showing us the viewer the true intentions,motivations and even the hidden side of these characters that they chose not to reveal to others.
So, The Art and Animation of classroom of the elite is pretty good, the art of this show is pretty normal and generic but lerche the studio behind classroom of the elite did a good job of making this normal and kinda generic looking art style a little bit more interesting as they have put a few more details than usual here and there, they have also added some very nice looking colours that are very noticeable when you look at a characters eyes and hair, i also know that many other anime also have characters with colourful eyes or hair but in this anime they have made the shading and lighting very distinct and more colourful than usual, the animation is pretty good nothing too bad or bland but also nothing too great though i do think that a few scenes here and there look very nice and smooth for a show like this.
So, now i want to talk a little about the voice acting, now the voice acting in this anime is very good and the voice actors are putting in a lot of effort from what i can tell, among the performances that i liked the most were kitou akari’s performance as suzune horikita, mizunaka masaaki’s performance as kakeru ryuuen and rina satou’s performance as the teacher of class D, Sae chabashira.
So, Overall i think that this show is very entertaining,Simple but complex and interesting as deep down this anime isn’t your typical school anime instead it’s a more simple but at the same time a more realistic take on the psychological genre of anime.
