Classroom of the Elite

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.

This show is really underrated but it is understandable. First off, the sequel has taken very long. Also, the anime has so many generic tropes that makes it predictable especially in the early episodes. The series is like a mind game series that rests on intelligence and brains throughout the first season. It would have been better only if they did not implement some of the usual high-school clichés we've seen in anime so many times. However, the anime managed to turn things around halfway through. It became brilliant, fast paced and mysterious. The cliffhangers left me anticipating for more and the plot became unpredictable. Its such a pity the sequel never came when the ending of the first season was so impressive.

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.

So classroom of the elite (2017) is a really interesting anime the first season was released in 2017 as a promotion to the light novel and damn it was successful that time. Recently I found some time to watch it myself. Tbh it is a good anime with really well designs and an interesting story which is its bright side. Opening and ending were not something gripping so after two or three episodes I skipped them. Voice actors were quite good and well cast, I couldn't find a single character with the wrong voice choice or any other problems on that matter. The story includes good characters with no backstory at all so so times will come that it may surprise you. But on the downside, if you are into animes especially high school animes with a psychological theme you can guess what is going to happen so no it doesn't have a 100% unique story but it has its originality too.

Overall, classroom of the elite may not have a unique story but due to its character development and some twists, it is worth the time. However, beware that 5 years have passed and still there is no solid news about the second season.
