[ようこそ実力至上主義の教室へ]

Season 2

Director: Seiji Kishimoto, Hiroyuki Hashimoto
Studio: Lerche
Starring: Shoya Chiba, Akari Kito, Yurika Kubo
Episodes: 12

Synopsis:
Having completed the survival test, the students now have to perform the second special test, which involve sussing out a hidden VIP in mixed groups comprised of members from each of the four classes.

Impressions:
I rather enjoyed all the intrigue of the first season, but for most of this season, the plots at work simply weren't as interesting to me. Things didn't really pick up for me until the end, but the payoff was satisfying enough to make it all feel worth it. If you liked the previous season's focus on Ayanokoji and Horikita, you'll be disappointed as Horikita fades more into the background and Karuizawa becomes more prominent as Ayanokoji's pawn of choice. In the end, I feel it was worth watching in spite of the dull patches and I'm invested enough to continue on to the next season if it happens.
