Classroom☆Crisis

In Martian colony Fourth Tokyo lies a classroom of Kirishina Corporation's brightest minds spearheading aerospace development: A-TEC, led by genius engineer Kaito Sera, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their newest member. It soon becomes clear, however, that the transfer student is hardly ordinary—Nagisa Kiryuu, newly appointed chief of A-TEC and the younger brother of the corporation's CEO, is sent to shut the program down. To keep the classroom alive, Kaito and his students desperately work to develop a successor to their most powerful rocket, the X-2; meanwhile, Nagisa climbs the corporate ladder in pursuit of his own mission. In spite of this, their separate battles soon reveal that much more is going on in Kirishina Corporation than meets the eye.

Classroom☆Crisis follows Kaito and Nagisa, as well as Kaito's younger sister Mizuki and A-TEC's test pilot Iris Shirasaki, in a story of intrigue, political warfare, and, against all odds, romance. As Nagisa and A-TEC are dragged further and further into Kirishina Corporation's conspiracies, friendships grow and pasts are unveiled as they fight to avert their classroom crisis.

I watched Classroom Crisis a total of two times. The first time, I rated the show a 10 and the second time I affirmed that I made no mistake in my score choice. I understand that this show's major appeals are not for everyone, but this show deserves more recognition as it is able to accomplish creating such a satisfying story in 13 episodes.

Here are things I love about the show in no particular order:

I love the main character, Nagisa Kiryu, and his development throughout the show. His character is so refreshing to see in the midst of every beta male MC that is common ... in modern anime. I love the rest of the cast, and although I may forget about them more easily than others, the A-TEC team has a lovable family atmosphere that I enjoy.

I love the OST, especially in hype moments, I find myself getting immersed and tapping my foot along with the catchy beat.

I love the themes this anime covers, though not for everyone: Engineering, Politics, Business, Revenge, Self-discovery. Maruto Fumiaki, who had a great hand in the writing of this show, is my favourite writer in the industry and I feel like he's just getting started in his hopefully long career. I love the story because revenge, coming of age, teamwork, and goal-driven plotlines are what I yearn for the most. I love how, the story ends as it leaves on a good note, with major conflicts resolved and only leaving very minor things open for interpretation, possibly in hopes for a season 2.

I will definitely rewatch this show again, as I do with all my 10s, in the near future. This show was a roller-coaster ride of emotions that I am always down to ride again.

Mixed Feelings

This is a conflicting watch for me & it's been a while since I've had this kind of confliction. On the one hand, they wrapped up the stories the series was focusing on, but on the other hand it felt like it was trying to weave more that it wanted to finish in a follow-up.

The premise is a hard to break down. Set in the future on a Mars city, a class set up to design rocket engines is assigned a new transfer student/manager to oversee their work. The school is under the authority of a larger corporation which make them employees. The business also ... has some officiations in politics which is less looked upon than the other factors but plays a role in the drama that pushes the story. Overall, these storylines are mostly completed by the end. There is mention of a higher figure in the business that we never see and by the end is briefly mentioned in a way that (like a great deal of series) sets him up as the next boss for the next season. It's a minor annoyance but given the focus of this season is fine.

The real problem is a lot of character stories. While a good deal of them are fleshed out, there are some that feel left hanging, especially the romance that ends with a love triangle. That might be the biggest detractor for some, especially those going in for that romance element. It's there but not pulled out enough.

In a way, the series feels very fast & very crammed like the director wanted it to be longer. (Interesting trivia, this is directed by the lead director of My Hero Academia.) It's not terrible, but it does leave an empty 'there could have been more' feeling. Many anime do, but this once is a bit more irksome due to being anime original.

This anime was a tease: The premise was enough to get me to watch it (or rather, to convince me to TLC it), but it turned out to be as uninteresting as Ben Stein reading the Yellow Pages.

******************SPOILER WARNING**************************

When I saw that the show was going to be set in an advanced engineering high school run by a megacorp on a space colony, that sounded amazing, and when the first episode showed that the program was being shut down and they needed to save it, I thought it was also going to be great! Love Live was one of my favorite high ... school anime, and they did the "save the school" plot very well, so I was expecting similar themes running in Classroom Crisis- namely, the class pulling together and making a stand to save the program with their own hands. Now, this did technically happen sorta, but it was merely a background event, and most of the class did not have much in the way of character development or exploration.

What ended up taking center stage most of the time was the business end of the corporation, intra-family backstabbing at the top of the ladder, and political bullshit less interesting than the US primary races happening now. Only towards the end did we get some interesting development with our resident anti-hero/anti-villain (he swayed back and forth for a while) essentially finding out that he was a kagemusha for one of the other students, but that didn't even get revealed properly at the end to the other characters, so it was a bit of a waste of a plot point for so few of the characters to even find out about it.

***************SPOILER WARNING OVER************************

With that said, if I weren't forced to watch it for TLC purposes, I would have dropped this show quicker than a hot frying pan. It was far too boring most of the time, and we didn't have too many well-developed characters to like. I give it a 4/10.
