This movie flops in every way.

I think what sickenings me the most is the character development for all of those involved in the screen, and how little to nothing the main character realised until the end.

Even so, this is one of those boring films with a good animation but nothing to offer regarding a message, and by far, you will hate the characters for being awful people.

Justifying that the main character is itself in love with a girl that doens't bring anything to the table (besides being cocky), and having friends that treat him like a dork, makes me think that someone who made the film got based on a real life experience of being a cuck.

Most beautiful thing in Senior Class is animatography and you can feel the emotion in each scene. I'm not used to slow paced dramas like this, but I promise that you never get bored. I got to admit that I didn't expect that ending but it fits perfectly with the rest of story. If you don't mind a little tragic and thoughtful moments, this is highly recommended.

Animated movies usually are being confused with children movies. This is anything but that. But it does sympathize with teens and their issues. Not just them, but they do take the main focus here.

That and sexual awakening - to a degree. There is nudity drawn out (no pun intended) - I would not call it something that will get too many people excited (there is a subgenre for that in the Anime section, if you are looking for that kind of ... pleasure! No pun intended) ... this is more drama and human interaction ... sometimes bodily of course but also verbal and what we are able to do with words and actions to others.

The Senior Class caught my eye, not only because it's an adult-themed animated feature, but also because it's written by Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, Peninsula, The King of Pigs).

Featuring coming-of-age themes such as adolescence, friendship, love and sex, The Senior Class isn't your regular romantic drama at all. It's a male POV narrative mainly about wish fulfillment and the dangers of it, with a very fragile friendship triangle at the center.

Overall, The Senior Class offers up quite a bleak story that has some devastating points to make. But I was thoroughly mesmerised by the beautiful animation.

Try to avoid the trailer, as it gives too much away.
