THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Welp, it's kinda what I had anticipated. A lot of exposition about the school, its system, and students as well.

They tried to make the "battle" look serious although I find it rather silly so far. Going to give it a few more episodes but the first episode felt pretty weird.

Dbz, Pokemon and Digimon reference in the beginning. XD

Well that was so over the top and crazy that I actually liked it.
All that tech to study/cheat, Wow. :3
That poor brown haired guy, He would have passed by himself if it weren't for the C types.

I'm all up for more crazy exam battles, Looking forward to see what becomes of the so called Legendary Generation.

So that was Shenron, Garurumon and Ho-Oh right at the start?
I thought the bird looked more like Birdramon from Digimon.


Overall it was a pretty fun episode. Let's be honest here, who hasn't cheated before?
It doesn't have to be on an exam, but it could be copying the answers to homework because well sometimes we forget to do homework right?

That fight was pretty hilarious. For some reason I thought of Commensalism to describe the relationship between that guy who was cheating and trying to protect his friend.

Ou-chan's character design is quite cute and bubbly. Anxious to see what new cheating antics they will show.

Yeah, Those were the three I thought of. Though you're right the bird does looks more like Birdramon than Ho-Oh. Well, I guess it looks better on paper to say it was 3 different references. XD

I like how they paced this first episode really well and sets a tone (somewhat) for the series moving forward.. it's always tough to get the pacing of these shorts right, especially one with a plot. Narrator also did a decent job as well.
Will definitely be keeping an eye out for this!

Where? If You refer to the 4 beast at the begin You had that totally wrong. The dragon , the Phoenix ,the white tiger and the turtle are the 4 guardians of the 4 cardinal points in the chinese (think it is) folkore...They are not reference to neither Db or Pokémon or Digimon (maybe They are inspired to from the same source).

The episode is only 12 minutes long and they wasted 10 minutes with useless explanations. I skipped most of it except the last 2 minutes.

And I'm a bit confused: in the synopsis it says they are enemies, but in the anime it says they work together.

Either way, this will be stupid fun or just stupid.

Well it's just that the designs for them in this particular show were very reminiscent of Shenron, Garurmon and Ho-Oh to an extent.

That was completely over-the-top and kinda critical about the school system and how degrees determinate our whole life. I've found it surprisingly funny, I hope they'll be able to make an entire anime around this concept, without it becoming repetitive.

Earlier in the episode, they have cheating device detector. Later in the episode, just a tranquilizer and you're in for cheating. What a way to cheat.

If you think about it, it was based on the 4 Legendary Beast Guardians in Chinese Folklore. Oh wait, this is being produced by a Chinese studio. Get it now? It shouldn't be based on anime references.

MAL synopsis: "The heated battle between Mumei, a C-type student, and Koui, an L-type, begins! Can Koui outsmart Mumei and her tricks?"

Episode: C-type and L-type students support each other. Mumei (boy) and Koui (girl) are teaming up to free Koui's wrongfully imprisoned dad. (Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55iX64NmUDA )

Interesting set-up episode. It's funny how the cheating dude was crying when he just used his buddy as a meat shield that knocked him out. The real meat is next episode, though, where the main characters come into play. Hopefully it'll be more epic than just shooting pen darts.

This wasn't exactly what I expected. I kinda thought that it would at least be a little bit more realistic and not have stuff like answer seeing lens or whatever. It wasn't that bad though but it had some off parts. I thought I could get some tips and tricks but it doesn't look like that'll be the case here.

This world takes entrance exams way too seriously for their own good. Entrance exams here are what determine how successful you would be in life. If you don't pass it you're a disgrace to humanity. Many kids try to study their asses off while others work hard to become cheaters. Unlike what they showed here, cheaters don't really rely on one single nerd. Only in ideal circumstances would the two be able to sit near enough to cheat properly. Cheaters get information from wherever possible and not just from one nerd alone. Another thing was why the hell were they all after those two kids only? Weren't there other nerds in the examination hall or was there only one nerd available? Also, how did the blonde guy pass the test? His nerd partner hadn't finished the exam before he got attacked from all sides. Or did he finish enough to pass? They did show that the nerds, and everyone else too, want others to screw up more so that they can pass easily even if they screw up a bit mainly because of the seat limits for universities. In the end, the examination hall was pretty much made for cheating. The kid had to push his/her paper just a bit more towards one side and the candidate behind can easily copy the entire paper.

I'll continue with this to see whether I can get some tips or not. That little disclaimer at the end isn't going to stop me.
