The Chinese title is "Lixiang Jinqu" where "Lixiang" means idealism and "Jinqu" means forbidden zone, so the title roughly translates to "idealism-free zone".

The MC's name Li Xiang (Hibiki) pronounces the same as "idealism", but uses different characters.
The purple-haired guy's name Meng Jing (Shin) pronounces the same as "dreamland".
The head instructor's name Xian Shi pronounces the same as "reality".

The long preachment at the beginning of episode one comes from the Three Character Classic, which was usually the first book taught to children in ancient times. The use of the Three Character Classic here hints at the cultural context for the existence of such bootcamps, since it's an elementary Confucian text that emphasizes moral education and deference to authority figures.
