Classroom of the Elite

Classroom of the Elite is yet another anime where the MC seems to be smarter than most of our world leaders and the student council has more power than a government. As per usual with these kinds of anime they are very over the top but undoubtedly heavily enjoyable despite the ropy and absurd plot.

I really enjoy the show, as I often do with anime I think the fanservice is a tad too much, moreso in Season 1, but it improved in this aspect in the second season.

The show is certainly enjoyable for people who like manipulative characters, a bit like Johan Liebert from Monster or Kategiri Yuuichi from Tomodachi Game, and despite most other characters being rather stagnant and bland or unlikeable and way too evil for a highschooler, this achieves the effect it aims for by making Ayanokoji way more likeable. I enjoy the worldbuilding of the academy and the idea of a "points system" which it introduces makes it a very nice blend between a Drama and Highschool anime. I also like how you may sometimes take a step back from conventional school concepts and see the characters engage in a more real-world activity.

Overall, the show is really fun to watch, I've also heard good things about the Light Novels so they'd probably have my recommendation as well. Overall around 7.8/10 but we'll up it to an 8 for IMDB!

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!

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

One of the greatest shows ever i really loved it hope it gets a second season

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.
