There are also some rules which seem to have been added in hindsight because the plot demands it. The sheer absence of tutoring upperclassmen, people selling used products on student markets or similar events and the like make it feel as if the setting and its rules weren’t thought through and make the whole school seem lifeless.
SAKURA NOVA REVIEW FREE
You can still visit the school leisure pool, and I’m sure there are other free activities on campus, too. Premium meals may cost more and you won’t be able to live a king’s life, sure, but it seems like whether or not you have many points doesn’t make much of a difference. Apart from promoting to a higher class, the points seem like they barely matter. This creates several problems: tests you can buy from upperclassmen have several times the worth of the price, as they guarantee a significant growth in your own monthly points which paired with buying test points makes it impossible to drop out of school because of said test scores - a threat that just in the beginning was announced with much fanfare. There are close to no boundaries, it goes as far as being able to not only buy old tests from upperclassmen (which are exactly the same as the ones you’ll have), but even test score points. Reason for that is the sheer universal usage of said points, they can basically be used to buy anything you need: Games, gold teeth, a deluxe meal, you name it. Now, leaving the whole classes can only advance as a unit thing (which is stupid) aside, the point system is inherently flawed. This is where the first glaring issues pop up. Unlike many other LN adaptations that also start off with some vapid quote, Elite Classroom chose one that actively represents one of the key parts of its own setting: Assigning students monetary worth through points based on merit, and dividing the classes by said merit. While I might already have voiced my opinion on the initial quote, I have to give credit where it’s due. is not just a show that suffers from purposelessness but also from a poorly constructed setting and plot, a less than stellar presentation and from being bound to generic LN formulas.įair warning: This review contains spoilers! Unfortunately, the problems don’t end there. It is a question that serves no purpose, a problem that is reflected throughout the show’s entire runtime.

The question itself only functions as a rhetorical question and even then, you gain nothing from the inevitable “no” as an answer. However, questioning the equality of the entire human race is a comical idea. It's a fast way to both grab the attention of the inexperienced viewer and to introduce the general intentions of the show.

Using a pretentious question as an opener is common in Light Novel adaptations.
