Dang, I hope Horikita can keep it together this season. Feels like she's mentally struggling even more than ever.

Tbh, I didn't care much about the athletic festival but the drama sure escalated into fists. I hope these characters can learn from their mistakes.

They do be playing dirty though. Class C doing everything to win. Targeting Horikita and Sudo in the process.

Ayanokouji giving some words of wisdom. As expected from him.

Ryuen being evil as always. I cannot wait for him to get rekt by Ayanokouji soon.

the reason why I love these kinds of series is because of how they create the situation.... and then later the solution to that....

Sudou was just a ticking time bomb this episode. And Horikita recieving defeat after defeat. And Ryuen's brilliant idea to set a trap for Horikita was unexpected especially in the LN.


NITPICKS/PROBLEMS:
I was expecting that the sports festival events will have more fluidity and movement, like action scenes when the classes are competing, like in the Ryuen and Sudou confrontation, it just felt like a slideshow or is it just me.

But the pacing and animation is still decent though, I think I'm not expecting much for episode 6 when they animated the ayanokouji vs manabu relay race scene to be breathtaking or with mind blowing animation.

First of all, you shouldn't have stopped reading the LN, because LN > anime, and no one deserves a bad adaptation, although it is still worth watching.

Ok episode, a shame that they skipped Kei vs Ichinose and I don't see the reason to put Horikita in Kei's place at riding the jockey(maybe director bias?) but aside from that(and the rush) it was decent.

Wtf is that, there is no teacher watching Sudo got beaten like that?
This school festival is a joke.

Of course Ryuen playing dirty again.

Just waiting Ayanokouji plan to be revealed.

Well, Horikita is so naive and useless in this episode, even Kiyotaka agrees with my point. She confronts Kushida and then walks right in the trap. Jesus fucking Christ! Koenji is just goofing around like always. Kiyotaka is cool as usual and Kei being cute melts my heart in every scene she shows up. Ryuen is so fucking evil man, damn, I really really despise this guy with his scummy plans. Sudo is still the biggest drag of the class even in the event where this is his strongest strength.

Anyway, as a LN reader, this episode is a 8/10 and it's me being very generous to the series because while the art/animation is better than other outsourced episodes, its pacing is like a fucking rocket.

Dunno how anime-only viewers feel about this episode though.

We're still deep in the Question phase of this sports festival arc, and boy it's already fucked up.

Well Horikita is damaged goods, Sudo is Sudo, Ryuen really did wreck his classmate's ankle just like that, and Ayanokouji literally said that Horikita is useless to him, yeah seems about normal.

I don't want to say what my thoughts are because I will feel stupid once we go into the Answer phase, so for now I'll let it linger until the next episode arrives (which if you don't know is a very painful method to go through).

It definitely is rushed. Also, when I read the light novel I imagined that there was a much larger crowd watching each event. It kinda felt like a practice event rather than an actual sports festival

By far the most rushed episode, barely get the context of the plot points in the episode.
If it keeps at this pace this season will go downhill.

1/5 episode

Probably the Worst episode so far it was too rushed now I don't know if they are even following the source material they skip so many thing and directly decided to show final stage of sports festival.

And the people who think season 1 was bad adaptation really need to check the season 2 properly.

I think Sudo Ken has all the right to get angry, he basically got stomped on by class C for the whole event. If Horikita doesn't make him hers I'll make him mine instead.

Horikita's IQ in this episode especially plummetted to rock bottom. Asking the suspected traitor if they're the traitor is 1) plain stupid and 2) raises their guard. Then she proceeds to believe in the traitor's story and only later to realise she dun goofed. And She still shows no signs of suspecting Kushida... sigh.

As for the festival itself, while I get that they're destined to not win by Ayanokouji prophecy, but I wish there was more substance to the events themselves. It sucks out the tension of the situation when they use either stills or minimal animation and only showing the incidents within the events, but not show how they ended there in the first place.

As for Sudo, he's definitely one that needs a handler. If directed properly, he can be a great motivator, as we saw when things go their way. It just he doesn't know how to handle things when they lose momentum.

If you were to pick one person from among the core group that would do the most damage to the class with their knowledge then Kikyo would be the one. Suzune is nothing but direct. Sudo has the confidence of a sun when Suzune is there lol. Nice to see Arisu again. Class C really is borderline with their tactics as usual. Still its good to see Suzune express a desire to change herself. Still thanks to the leaked class list things sure are tough for them. And even more so with Ryuen gunning for Suzune in particular. Overall a decent ep that did well to showcase just how cunning Ryuen really can be as well as the kind of tactics that they won't hesitate to use on class D. Curious to see how they can turn things around.

Wasn't as good as the previous weeks episodes but it was fine for the most part. School Festival was lackluster for the most part and nothing seemed to be happening that hooked me in.
7/10 from me.

They rushing this adaptation like crazy rn.

A whole lot of vol. 5 completely skipped or rushed over lmao
Ayanokouji with the personality of an ant, seriously why did they make him so emotionless.
Some of the faces looked super weird again

And they didn't even bother animating most of the sports events, as it would take too much effort to animate so many characters at the same time lol.
They were literal powerpoint presentations lmao

By far the worst episode of the season so far.

Don't know if they're rushing as much as possible just to be done with volume 5 but I truly hope they slow down the pacing in the next couple episodes and stop skipping cool moments.

WTF did i just watched?
Honestly, horikita deserves that for her stinky ass attitude. man straight asked kushida, if she was the traitor? are u flipping dumb? and most importantly, why tf she just decided oh ok kushida lemme see the injured class c first before reaching to sudo because thats a great idea.

This week started off with a rat hunt. So it seems Kushida sold her class out for points huh? I can’t stand how fake she is. Idk what Horikita was thinking asking Kushida point blank if she betrayed them. Did Horikita think Kushida was gonna he like “Oh yeah, totally Horikita! I’m the traitor” lol.

A lot going on this episode. Sakayanagi seems a bit calculating like Ayanokoji. Gotta keep my eye on her. Sudo needs to calm tf down. Dude really is like a grade schooler showing off to his crush lol. His short fuse is becoming a problem though, maybe Horikita can rein that in. Kouenji never changes, man. I gotta respect that about him. Dude is consistently a selfish douche lol.

Ryuen and his fucking Class C lackeys are becoming a real problem. It’s good that Ayanokoji’s has got a plan, but idk what he hopes to accomplish by throwing this event. I’m glad he got Horikita out of that funk, but she’s in a real bind with this whole Kinoshita situation. Man, it’s so frustrating. Can someone just throat punch Ryuen already? Ugh. Kushida is probably eating this up too considering her Horikita hate boner. I really wanna back hand her to last week.

This is one frustrating episode just watching the class get slapped around like that. I mean I know it’s all according to Ayanokoji’s plan, but still.

Why only 5 minute episode?

So Kushida and Horikiata do know each other from before, damn.

LOL the class C's cheating is irritating me so much, can't imagine how Sudo and Horikita must be feeling.

What's the deal with this Koenji, this fucker always backs off during every test.

Every episode just ends up making me curious about many things and it's so annyoing that the episodes end up getting over so fast. At least we are not left in complete dark about when we will get to see more so it's bearable.

Already can't wait for next Monday.

Nah, Rent a Girlfriend is terrible in every possible way. Even if the adaptation of Classroom of the Elite is being pretty bad, it at least has some interesting content here and there even with them rushing it and skipping good scenes.

Same.

For me this is probably the worst anime airing that I'm watching right now even worse than rent a girlfriend I think I have to drop it now it is too painful to watch and the fact that this rushed adaptation is still 8+ rating says a lot about the taste of MAL community.

edit: it doesn't deserve 8+ in ratings atm
