Classroom of The Elite Season 2 Episode 1 Discussion
What do you think about first episode?
Bro where did you watch it? I still need to wait for 2 more hours
Hyped
I do not know how this special exam works and it confuses me. Can someone explain it in a way that anyone can understand?
It's simple, actually. Every students in each classes (A, B, C, D) will be grouped by using a solar system. Each group will have 1 VIP chosen anonymously. There will be 4 endings. Scenario 1 and 2 basically will happen at the end of the exam. 3 and 4 happen before the exam ends.
Scenario 1 : Every group members (not VIP classmates) guesses VIP correctly. then Everyone win 500k private points and plus 500k more for VIP. So, VIP gets 1 million (basically win-win situation which is why Ichinose recommend this scenario.)
Scenario 2 : Same as Scenario 1 but with their guess incorrectly, only VIP will receive 500k private points.
Scenario 3 : Group member (not VIP classmate) guesses VIP correctly by submitting e-mail. The guesser will receive 500k private points and 50 class points and the exam ends . If the answerer is VIP classmate, then the answer will be dismissed and the exam continued.
Scenario 4 : Group member (not VIP classmate) guesses VIP incorrectly by submitting e-mail. The VIP will receive 500k private points and 50 class points, while the guesser will lose 50 class points and the exam ends . If the answerer is VIP classmate, then the answer will be dismissed and the exam continued. (i guess?) ( Scenario 4 is the worst possible endings of all scenario)
Hope this helps you to understand it!
A VIP is hidden within each groups and during the end of the exam, each members will be given a chance to guess who the VIP is
Outcome 1 : Everyone knows who the VIP is and correctly answers it. Every person gains 500,000 private points and additional 500,000 pts will be given to the VIP
Outcome 2 : Someone incorrectly answers who the VIP is and only the VIP will be given 500,000 private points
Outcome 3 : Without waiting for the deadline, a traitor submits an email to the school regarding who the VIP is, and the exam for the group will end immediately. If guessed correctly, the traitor gets 500,000 pts and the class which the traitor belongs to gets +50 class points, and -50 class pts will be given to the class who had their VIP guessed.
Outcome 4 : Guessed incorrectly, -50 class pts to the traitor's class, and +50 class pts to the VIP's class, with 500,000 private points for the VIP
Yeah it was kinda confusing to understand
Ok why is the OP look like Japanese MV song??
AMONG US LETS GOOOO
It’s werewolf though
I can’t wait for Jerma985 to destroy everyone in classroom of the “elite” among us by using his iconic line, “I’m gonna jerma you” and then proceeding to jerma everyone
I can already see LN reader being mad about the changes of zodiac sign becoming planets but tbh it does not change anything and makes up for the class having less student because of season 1
Happened to me. I almost got enraged after seeing the change of zodiac sign until i realized there are only 25 students in anime. So, it makes sense they changed it
Problem is the reasoning at the end will not be the same
they could use similar reasoning tho... but kinda sus
Yeah the logic might not workout from stuff like how ryuen found out as the number of VIPs being 2 per class
Please use spoiler tags when discussing events that take place after the episode/further along in the source material.
COTE is back holy shit
IM VERI EXCITED
Great start~
I love that noticeably short skirt in the opening ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's nice to see the waifus again! The girls in this show are hot!
Classroom of The Elite Boobs is back!
lewd image in spoilers
(◕‿◕)
I'm watching on waifus because the plot... if I start to stone him, I'll probably get shot in the street
but who needs plot when you have this bunch of girls full of plot?Glad to see someone who understands real taste~
forgot to mention
"men of culture"
hey don't post a picture of yourself in the comments
no one wants to see your ugly face, the crappy picture of your account is enough, it portrays your person well
thanks... "you know the best thing about anime when it starts with girls in the pool and boobs...that should be the focus"
You know its bad for you to watch a lot of ecchi right?
And i hate guys who use "man of culture".when the conversation gets to you, I'll let you know
at least the guy who made the first comment is not a sucker using the picture of another sucker who thinks he is a revolutionary/savior of humanity thinking that his selfish attitudes will change the world
from the analysis of your profile I already know that you are a dynamic teen of the mass and no one needs to know the opinion of a teenbut while you wait, enjoy your anime you've waited years for the continuation but it's already a crap
imbeciles characters doing imbeciles that don't affect anything in their little world as if the fact that they are super smart would change something
free cry and enjoy the show
be well, cya
Bro thinking someone take him seriously after "I'll probably get shot in the street
but who needs plot when you have this bunch of girls full of plot?"...Just shut up, you're embarassing
Ugh. Ibuki & Karuizawa. I dislike them both
So why do people like this series? Do people like this series for the plot points and logic games?
At least for me, this first episode was awful.
Now I consumed this series in a somewhat weird order watching S1 of the anime, being perfectly fine with it and then reading all the LNs after seeing how highly regarded they were, and now I'm coming back to S2 of the anime. So maybe S1 of the anime was way worse than this first episode, and this is progress for the anime, I don't know.
From my persepective CoE is great because of the character writing. Now, that is not to say that the story and plot isn't imporant, the plot is super interesting, but to me it is tool for adding to character developement and buildup to character climaxes. In my opinion, what makes the LN series the 9/10s on anilist that it has is the way the author has this roadmap for each character and drives them down this path slowly through small interactions in each Light Novel, and personally I just can't see how an LN reader would be fine with this first episode after it seems they are going remove almost all of them that aren't directly related to the ongoing game. Classroom of the Elite is far worse if your viewing each game as its own individual arc instead of a large overarching story.
Some people might say, "Oh its just the first episode", but from what they cut and the pacing its easy to tell that this is extremely unlikely to change.
The last thing I would be worried about is changing the rules of the game slightly, this series is great becuase of its characters and they just straight up ignore everything that makes the characters relatable, interesting, or provides depth into motives, and so when the payoffs for characters happen later on, no one is going to give a f**k, which breaks my heart cuase this series is too good to have have such an awful adaptation. This Game in particular is extremely boring from a logic stand point so however they decide to figure it out in the end, I honestly don't care its not super important in the long run, but the character interactions in this part of the story is what makes it one of the better LNs in Y1, so it sucks that they are just removing so much content that gives so much depth Spoilers for this Season (CoE LN 4)
Possibly I'm wrong, but I checked in the LN, and I'm fairly sure this first episode covered almost 100 pages, which is absolutely insane to me. I'm not a huge LN reader, so maybe this is more common than I'm expecting, but overall I feel alot of people are going to miss out on what I think the whole point of the series is Especially with what I belive are Ayanokoji's motives are in relation to going to a different class Y2 Volume 1-6 I would not click unless you are fully caught up
Also sorry to rant, kinda just super frustrated after seeing that episode.
you may be right, but its better than nothing. im pretty sure most light novel readers, including me, would keep their expectations low. i mean its pretty obvious theyre going to cut out stuffs which will damage the story of cote since its only 13 episodes, but we get more ayanokouji hehe.
Fair, I definitely have way to high of expectations for this anime, with what they probably had as resources and time.
Still wish it could have gotten the love it deserves.
At least to me its still skipping out on the best aspect of Ayanokoji's development, and skipping to all the cool big brain moments of his character.
I have a lot of friends who won't start reading the LNs because of the anime adaptation and its shallow display of the characters, so I'm not really speaking towards the people who enjoy it for the more "I just like seeing the cool scenes" (which is a perfectly fine way to enjoy the seires, just not the way I do) aspect, moreso to the people who don't like the anime adaptation as anime watchers, so that they can understand that the series is far better and more in depth than just Ayankoji flexing on everyone and getting a harem the anime.
it seems like it was rushed since they left out a ton and changed some from the LN, hopefully it'll still be enjoyable
LN spoilers
all i want to see is ayanokoji break kei
The fact that they rushed 1/3rd of the LN into one episode already left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope they don't alter it further...
i'm hoping that just means that there will be more time spent on some really good moments
Only watching for King Katsuragi
I know I will enjoy this show in the long run, but that felt like playing a really bad tutorial before beginning a game.
please just read the LN.
Is it my impression or has the adaptation started bad?
I don't read manga or LN so I have no idea, I just watch the anime but the comments are well dividedMan as a reader of the LN I was really disappointed with this episode. For perspective, they jammed like 1/3rd of the LN into 1 episode and that doesn't sound too good does it?
the funny thing is that they have skipped a bunch of the dialogue and setup for 'special exam' when that is more important i'm my opinion than the exam itself.
cause didnt they skip the part where koenji goes out on like the first or second day or am i just getting ahead of myself? and from looking at the one kei cutscene they all have separate rooms which was one of the few places that set up interactions with characters this arc
