Koudo Ikusei Senior High School is a leading prestigious school with state-of-the-art facilities where nearly 100% of students go on to university or find employment. The students there have the freedom to wear any hairstyle and bring any personal effects they desire. Koudo Ikusei is a paradise-like school, but the truth is that only the most superior of students receive favorable treatment. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a student of D-class, which is where the school dumps its "inferior" students in order to ridicule them. For a certain reason, Kiyotaka was careless on his entrance examination, and was put in D-class. After meeting Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyou, two other students in his class, Kiyotaka's situation begins to change.

The island survival arc in the last few episodes was quite exciting, and the ending was unexpected. The portrayal of a school where strength reigns supreme is intriguing, though it leaves too many unanswered questions.

It's actually not that bad, but I just didn't like it. Maybe it's because of the overly oppressive tone or that the male protagonist is way too strong to be relatable.

While Classroom of the Elite doesn’t introduce innovative concepts, its smooth narrative, with well-paced climaxes, does make it an enjoyable viewing experience. The constantly emerging side characters are intriguing, and I'm eager to see how their fates unfold in future episodes.

The original author's shortcomings are evident throughout the series - the plot is riddled with holes and the supposedly high-IQ characters always act inconsistently.

There are two extreme kinds of productions - one blindly extols perfection until it's detached from reality, the other pursues excessively for realism, assuming that simply depicting the world as a cruel place would make it realistic. However, it's often contrary to the case. Classroom of the Elite falls into the latter category.
