Hello fellow anime fans,
So I just started Classroom of the Elite and I’m currently on Season 1… and let me just say, this is not the kind of school anime I thought it would be at all.
At first, I went into it thinking okay, normal high school vibes, maybe some smart students, maybe a little competition here and there… but nah this one is deeper than that, this school is not just about reading books and passing exams, it is literally like survival of the smartest.
So the story is set in this elite school where students are placed into different classes from A to D, with A being the best and D beiing well, the problem children kind of class, and of course, our main characters end up in Class D, but the twist is, this school gives students points every month like money, and how you behave determines if you keep getting those points or not.
Sounds simple right? It’s not.
Because one small mistake, and your whole class suffers.
Now let’s talk about the main guy, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, this guy ehn… I don’t even know how to explain him properly, at first, he just looks like one quiet boy that does not like stress. Always at the back, minding his business, not trying to shine, but as the episodes go on, you start noticing something is off, like he knows way more than he is showing.
And that is when it starts getting interesting.
Because while everyone is trying to survive school normally, Ayanokoji is out here lowkey controlling situations without people even realizing it, No noise, no drama, just calm calculations, It’s actually scary how he thinks
Then there’s Suzune Horikita, She’s very serious, doesn’t like unnecessary friendship, and just wants to climb to Class A by all means, At first, she comes off as cold, but as the story moves, you start to understand her a bit more, she is trying, but she is also learning that she can’t do everything alone, One thing I really like about this anime is how it plays with people’s minds, like, it is not about fighting or superpowers, it is about strategy, manipulation, and reading people, you will see characters smiling with you, but deep down, they are planning something else entirely.
And don’t even let me start with Kikyo Kushida… that one? Just be watching her carefully, that is all I will say
Season 1 especially focuses on introducing the system of the school and how unfair it can be, there are tests that don’t even feel like normal tests, situations where trust is tested, and moments where you are like wait, what just happened?
And the best part? You can not always predict the outcome.
There were a few times I thought I understood what was going on, then boom, plot twist, especially towards the end of the season, that last part really shows you that Ayanokoji is not just some random quiet guy.
At all.
If I am being honest, I have not even finished the whole series yet, but Season 1 alone has already pulled me in, It is the kind of anime that makes you think, observe, and even question people’s intentions in real life sef
So yeah, if you are looking for something different from the usual action anime, something more psychological and smart, this one is definitely worth watching.
And me? I’m not stopping here o, I need to see what this Ayanokoji guy is really about
