Classroom of the Elite

I have so much question, gimme season 2, it needs season 2

S1 was very good, unique and enjoyable and also really love this series and hopefully waiting for s2✨

To all of those reading this, do not stop watching until the end of this anime! I became obsessed with this after watching it thinking, "this looks like a decent school anime with a mastermind character", but after watching this, I immediately looked up the manga to see if I could keep follow the story. However, disappointingly, the english version of the manga is behind the anime.

The only reason I didn't give this 10 stars is because I thought it was slightly slow moving. This wouldn't have been a problem had there been more episodes, and I get that you can't really explore Ayanokouji without the slow reveal of his genius, but the fact that . In summary, the only problem is, is that there isn't enough of it!

The only regret you'll have after watching this, is that there isn't anymore you can watch!

This show focuses on struggles between characters, in different school classes, aspiring to enter the highest class in Japanese society, some classes scheming against each other. I don't want to spoil anything more about that show, but I will say it does focus on struggle between socioeconomic classes, in an allegory of sorts. As such, this gets a rating of 10.

I don't really know in which specific category of anime this series belongs but it is a weird mixture of romance, drama, and scholarly animations. In summary, it is about a student that wants to transform a classroom of useless people into the best one of its school. This is done by a system of points in which every classroom gains a certain amount of points depending on how they perform on certain tests. These points accumulate and, depending on your amount of points, the classroom gets a specific denomination from A to D that can be related to socioeconomic classes, being A the best one and D the lowest one.

The strong points of this series and the reason that I liked it a lot are its characters (especially the MC) and the plot twists that it presents. The characters are really dynamic and all of them have complex personalities that make them extremely interesting. Then, the story manages to create an interesting story that grabs you from the first episode with an unexpected plot-twist until the end where the MC shows how intelligent he really is and what his intentions are.

But, not everything is good with this anime specifically for its ending. The problem with it is that it is an open ending that leaves almost no answer for anything that the series was building towards. This is an issue as there is any confirmation of a second season.

In conclusion, the Classroom of the elite is a really good series with amazing characters and an engaging story. But, this story gets cut halfway and it ends up incomplete. So, if you want to watch it keep in mind that you will be left with no real conclusion and with almost every question without an answer.
