Sorry if this review mixes up some of the plot-related facts from episode 8-12. I was having some real trouble making it through these final episodes so I decided to spice it up a bit by playing a drinking game with myself. Every time I was disappointed, I drank. Needless to say I ran out of alcohol in 8 seconds so everything is a bit of a blur. Here’s a poem I guess.

I hate my parents, they just don’t understand me
They sent me to this school, locked the door, threw away the key

I tried to tell her you can’t pause Fortnite but she bared her fangs
I have to survive this cruel nightmare by joining a gang

We trade cellphones like they trade cigarettes in prison
Got bullied, tried to find help, but not even the teachers would listen

I was framed and was given solitary
In two weeks, I became a god, ex-bullies be wary

I stand so hard jojo shakin in his boots
Sweat drippin’ like Niagara, with Satan I’m in Cahoots

Purple-haired bully’s plan came to realization
He lit a match, to burn this nation

I look at him, he looks at me
We cry a lot together, wheeeee

Let’s review the plot in nice bullet points (spoilers!)

• Hibiki is an ex-athlete NEET sent to prison school and thinks he’s been teleported inside a videogame. Sike, he isn’t
• Hibiki tries to kill himself because its not a videogame and spending 5 seconds inside this school makes him want to kill himself
• He’s talked down from the ledge by purple hair who runs the school and wants to make hibiki his pawn as is part of his unknown master plan (and is also death flagged because he coughed once)
• Hibiki does what purple hair wants and out smarts some of the school’s student leaders because I guess hibiki isn’t a useless idiot after all even though we are made to believe that he is
• Background characters are introduced and have super hacker abilities. They don’t use these abilities until the end in order to drag the story out
• Purple hair tries to get Hibiki to rape his elementary school friend, but instead of this being a red flag, Hibiki goes along with it at first, until said elementary school crush vomits into his mouth. He then proceeds to jack off in the corner unsuccessfully.
• He takes over half the school by himself in about 3 days and a bunch of completely irrelevant plot points happen for a long time, including a 3-hour standing competition
• Purple hair wants hibiki to forcibly take nude pictures of his elementary school friend, but tricks him and they escape, but then they end up getting framed for having a cellphone and Hibiki is sent to jail. Hibiki gets absolutely shredded and transforms in two weeks of solitary, becoming a literal gamer god by doing prison sit ups
• We learn that ex-student council president girl/Hibiki’s failed rape attempt is in here because her parents died and were replaced by a rapist who rapes her and she stabs him, so he sends her to prison school
• Hibiki gets out of jail but Purple hair is gone for some reason, who also turns out to be the illegitimate child of some big shot mafia family
• New bad guy is introduced who is I guess part of the mob or something and they actually run the school because they sell all the confiscated cell phones they find????????????????????????
• Hibiki is made new student council president by bad guy who likes Hibiki because he’s a total badass now
• Hackers leak confidential info about school beating all the kids up
• Purple hair comes back to complete his master plan, the thing he’s been working towards this entire show since episode one, and that is…………………………………
• Lighting a match and burning the school down
• School burns down, hibiki goes up to roof where death flagged purple hair-chan is waiting to be burned alive and he cries
• The end

Now on to the categories everyone knows and Loves ____ Technical • Animation – 1/10 o It isn’t a zero because it isn’t shitcom. It was shot in wide screen however, which was one of the most bizarre choices I’ve seen to date. • Sound and voice acting – 0/10 o I cried laughing at how bad the sound effects and voice acting were. Every single fight had little to no sound effects for people punching each other, walking sounds were dreadful, everything sounded stock and amateurly mixed, it couldn’t be worse. If it were worse, it wouldn’t have been aired and I’d never get the privilege to make this review • Music – 2/10 o The opening theme is uninteresting but wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever heard (Moribito I’m looking at you). There really isn’t much music in this at all, but at the very least, the sound track itself wasn’t bad enough to be noticeable like in Tokyo ghoul: RE season 2’s case, but to give it anything above a 2 just wouldn’t be funny enough. ____ Story • Plot/Characters – 0/10 *Here’s where we delve into the details a bit more. I’m going to try my best to be concise and as entertaining as possible since people tend to skim these reviews anyways. * No plot points that are set up in the early episodes are capitalized on at all. Zero. Every single character and their backstories, their motivations, and their overall impact on the plot play zero role in the outcome of this anime. The only plot point to ever be capitalized on is the fact that they introduced a genius hacker girl early on who could have ended this anime the moment she arrived at the school, but they withheld this in order to have 12 episodes and that is it.

The cruel backstory behind the head guard, the man shown to be a masochist with a heavy burden on his shoulders from letting his aniki die, the man he looked up to the most. Nothing. Doesn’t matter. The Sadistic head mistress who’s father was the head guard’s aniki is shown to be a loose cannon. She gains control of the school in order to enact some sort of hatred upon them due to the trauma she’s faced. She’s also shown to be unrelenting and cleaver. Doesn’t matter. The innocent freckle-faced character who is bullied and has no self esteem is built up to be an important character no wait just kidding, doesn’t matter. The student council president, the girl who was raped and sentenced to this school by her ill begotten foster parent, wait.

Doesn’t matter Not even Hibiki who transforms half way through the plot plays even the most remote of roles in the plot’s outcome.

Here is the true order of events that had any impact on the plot.

Hacker girl can hack things. She hacks. News reaches outside world, causing police and reporters to come to school oh wait none of that matters actually because the TRUE thing that had any outcome on the plot is….
Purple hair lights a match on the top floor, setting alight his suite and soon the rest of the school. That is the end and it is only that very moment that had any impact on anything that happened in this horrid show. What happened to Hibiki and why was he sent here? What is the deal with Purple Hair and his mob family? Purple hair was set up as a character who liked having power over others and his true goal seemed to be one of gaining power over the students, so why did he disappear and then come back only to burn the school down? Also, where did he even go? He disappeared for several episodes without explanation!

The whole anime’s focus was on the main character Hibiki and even though everything that happened from beginning to end was a whole spectrum of retardation, even that had no point by the end. I mean, for most of the plot, Hibiki was out-smarting other students in order to gain control of the school and to transform himself into some sort of badass somehow. He even challenged the strongest fighter in the school! To a… uhhh…. Standing contest….

Please This is really happening isn't it #INTERESTING# Ok, you really don't need to show any more, I get it YOU TELL ME Way..........way too much.... ____ #CONCLUSION# This Chinese cartoon is like when Steve Harvey messed up on miss America, but instead of it being Steve Harvey messing up on miss America, it’s Steve Harvey accidentally setting off the nuclear launch codes. This Sham-ime Is like having an iodine deficiency and growing a goiter in your throat. This load of piss is like laying down on a bed of needles laced with enough cocaine to kill a man which sounds fun until you learn that it also has hepatitis and 3 different types of MRSA and you still have to pay for all that cocaine you injected one day before your rent is due.
