Welp, it was teased before but the actual bullying starts with this episode against Kei.

Horikita herself is also challenged this episode and I want to see how she can handle pressure this season. Looks like every episode dives into themes of sins in this season.

Given how Koenji appears, it’s fairly understandable for anyone to take him as a loudmouthed fool but yeah that’s where you got it wrong, he’s a textbook example of how not to judge someone based on their appearance lol. He’s already out of this game, cleared it that is. Also they did skim upon many scenes in the last episode, but hey it seems like it was just them rearranging the stuff. That scene with Kushida, and that whole conversion with Hirata made it in this episode. Conversion between the teachers too.

Now with Ayanokouji getting a bit aware of Karuizawa’s past, dude’s already up to something lol. Also again those three clowns ganging up on Karuizawa looked something straight out of comic skit, but yeah that’s how students resolve their matters in Japan I guess. Anyways great thing they didn’t conclude this volume right in this episode itself like it was looking after the last week lol, decent enough adaptation for this episode. Now the next one is where we’ll get that epic one-liner.

This was better then I was expecting in terms of pacing, again nothing that major was cut and I assume an explanation of what happened will be explained in next weeks episode. Overall this was a much better episode then last weeks.

I like they didn't end the narration at this episode and blue balls us to episode 3, it definitely will give more impact rather then summing up a whole story on this episode only.

Some of you will probably also notice the inconsistency of the animation and design, but I hope it is being outsourced for the greater good

Classroom of the elite S2 EP2 focuses mainly on Kei karuizawa past she was bullied in the past which made her like a parasite i.e, she protects herself by using someone like Machida and Hirata. Also, it is revealed that Hirata and Kei aren't dating.
Also, it's my prediction that Kei is the VIP as Class A, and B&C aren't the VIP as in the way it's shown and clearly ayanokoji is not the VIP so it only leaves Kei
I give it 6/10.

The first day of the thinking test was over Ayanokoji it discussed with Hirata and the others. Just then there was a message on Ayanokoji and the others cell phones. Horikita was annoyed by the contents of the message. On the other hand, Ayanokoji sensed that there was something odd about Kei's current behavio, the bullying segment felt like something I couldn't take it seriously: when the bullies walked while sticking to each other and it was literally uncut for like 10 seconds with a lack of background music that felt like it was giving a lack of tension but eh it's just a nitpick of mine and aside from that overall, it's one of the better episodes than the previous one I think though I can notice some sketchy stuff with Kei's facial design being inconsistent and yeah bullies can sometimes be tough to handle, at least Ayanokoji is going to be the whole savior of this with the aftermath of his observation.

I think the animation has been nerfed and obviously they skip some scenes again, but we're making now a process between Kei and Ayanokoji probably in the next episode. Overall I'll give it 6/10, it's not bad but it's not good either

The VIP Game continues...and more people are either getting hoodwinked or booted out altogether by tricks, like Koenji drawing first blood.

Ayanokouji wanting to infer more about Kei's situation from Horikita to help Class 1-D bond forward, and there is Ryuuen bragging about how Class 1-C is on the way to victory (that isn't a far-fetched notion). Though what he's planning, only he himself would know. It wouldn't be the first time that Kushida has thrown herself onto Ayanokouji, and he is the same monotoneness as he was back in Season 1.

While the conversation with the teachers are intriguing, it's Kei's bullying that continues the wayward trend of being everyone's parasite, much less the act of playing a pretend relationship when things got rough. Unsurmised to say that the special test discussions are still in a deadlock, but every situation just gets more quieter, while Kei just continues to attract unwanted attention while Ayanokouji makes a risk to leave her on peril.

A much better paced episode all things considered, the source cuts are already there so oh well...

Content looks fine. Actually pacing is a lot better than Ep.1 imo.
Animation, still very good but the art, eh... Idk if it's just me but the art of Ep.2 seems to get downgraded.

I forgot how self absorbed Koenji actually was lol. The facilities of the cruise ship though sure is nice. If anything rules is something that Ryuen cares little about. Looks like Kei's past was pretty painful. The teachers meeting at the bar was fun. Being the victim of bullying through nine years of school though is rough. Guess thats why finding a safe harbor is always a priority for her. But man the manner of which those girls bullied Kei was sickening. I hope Ayanokouji is able to do something next ep.

i honestly say that this episode still sticks close to the light novel. Except that , i can't tell anything apart from the light novel. The animation is OK for me because in season 1 the characters are too colorful , so they switch to the standard color to suit the background. One surprise i found after watching ep 2 is the transition in scene ( at around 14:00 ) , witch show character : Kei transitioning from standard color to the gray one, which shows the condition Kei is in now, unlike Kiyotaka from episode 1 , which is the contrary to Kei. And expect episode 3 with "that scene" i am talking about

Nice cliffhanger!

But the animation is so inconsistent, it pains me. I hope they save budget and go all out on important episodes like 3, 6, 9 and 12.

Good adaptation overall with nice pacing, nice flow, good VAs, good characters interactions, I give this episode an 8.8/10.

The animation quality and direction were awful, literally 90% of the episode were just faces barely moving on the screen.
The first season sold pretty badly over in Japan so i was surprised they decided to do a second one.. i guess they didn't go in with a good budget because of that, still, they really did bait people because the first episode had decent animation, but now its obvious what to expect all the way to the end

So I'm kinda confused. Aren't both Ayanokouji and Karuizawa VIPs? Why would Karuizawa ask him if he was VIP? Or did I misunderstand that people that were on the first meeting with the teacher are VIPs?

Pacing was better than the first episode so at least there's a positive here. On the other side though, calling the animation and drawings in this episode 'lackluster' would be really generous. This series doesn't need crazy kind of animation by any means for the kind of series it is but more consistency and interesting use of direction to match what the series is trying to accomplish with the mysteries, serious themes like bullying, and progression of this exam would be an improvement for this medium. The characters and how they move and look when talking feels extremely underwhelming from the staff and Lerche tbh.

Wait, did Kouenji just give up the VIP? Was that what that narcissistic idiot did? I didn’t quite catch that.

Anyways, Ayanokouji seems to be onto Karuizawa. No surprise, he’s very observant. It’s interesting Karuizawa calls herself a parasite that can’t live on her own strength alone. Figured it might have been bullying that’s made her act the way she does. Guess that’s why she “dated” Hirata and was trying to get him to protect her. She seems a bit manipulative but not maliciously so, just out of a sense of survival. Guess she’s moved on and “latching” to Machida now. The way Ayanokouji just watched as Karuizawa was getting bullied makes me think he’s scheming something, especially with how he said “wow”. Blackmail perhaps but not sure for what end? To have informants in Class C maybe? Just guessing. That kind of scheming would be right up his alley though.

That aside, what was up with Kushida and that hug anyways? She really irks me. Everything about her is just so fake and constructed. I can’t tell what her game is.

Well not bad. Tho as always they cut some things.(not much tho)
And also in LN the bullying scene came first and then later on Kei went to Hirata. Also in LN Ayanokoji was not eavesdroping rather he was with Hirata from the start.(No hate to the show)

And here comes 'Spread your legs'.....

INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Man that cliffhanger, and the pacing, part of Kei's monologue was adapted too!!! We are in great hands boys!

Unfortunately this episode was outsourced so the animation wasn't as great, still, looked pretty decent.

So many reveals on this one, the anime onlys must be going crazy. Hyped for next week. 5/5

There is only one VIP from the whole group (e.g Saturn). I believe in the LN Hirata has the names of 2 VIPs from class D but only shows one, but that isn't being mentioned here.

Much better episode than last week. Pacing was solid and no major cuts/changes. This is the type of episode I’m looking for from you-zitsu

Kei being bullied was pretty hard to watch. Of course Kiyopon has a plan to step in at the perfect time, tho.

Animation was outsourced so that’s why it was kinda ass today, tho.
