I have no idea what this anime even is about anymore at this point. If this was a 50+ episodes anime, I could somewhat rationalize all these non-sensical filler-ish episodes. But this is 12 episodes, right? :/

I see the teacher is not above black mailing to get what she wants. Why she wants to be Class A is beyond me. She seems to believe Ayanokoji can take her there. So there's that part of her I am looking at. I would say the next episode is more of a scripted survivor than Lord of the flies. Unless some fat kid gets a boulder dropped on his head.
They could have clearly done this in episode 7 or most of it. I suspect this might be 24 episodes now based on the pacing. I don't know it's popularity in Japan but it might be pretty high.

No loli
Low fetishism
No sex jokes
You have to understand what characters are saying
No loli
No idol
No loli
-> popularity must not be that high...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Well... when you put it in that perspective... LOL!
Well, there was the Class B teacher as well conspiring on "who to have an eye on", so there seems to be something at play among the teachers as well. That said, not sure if the actions by them so far sustain this theory... wait and see I guess.
Agreed! I completely forgot about that massage scene lol.
I like that MC recognized that he's simply surrendering his freedom to keep from having his freedom taken away which is the same thing. I also enjoy that he doesn't dwell on the unfairness of the situation. He reminds me of the guy from Grisaia, without the sister issues.
Starting to feel like they are milking this series or something.
This is 12 episodes, right?
What is this even about ...
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Proving that strategy and group success is superior to perseverance and skill at the individual level.
Yeah, 90% of this episode was a complete and disappointing waste. But Class C's strategy of just blowing all the points right away having fun, but leaving spies everywhere shows that they're not the fools the series wants them to come off as.
It is a valid strategy. Probably the best one. Refuse to fall into the trap of the administration, have a vacation trip, and just accept the results. Class D is far enough behind that the gap they have doesn't threaten Class C. Class C has 492 class points, Class D has just 87. The maximum you can get from this test is 200+150+camp points, assuming that you spent zero points and correctly guess all three other class leaders.
No matter what, Class D won't be able to catch them. Or they might by some miracle ass-pull...which could happen. But the likelihood is super low.
But Class C has ensured they can recoup their losses. They left behind spies in both Class D and Class B, not sure about A, but I bet they're trying.
Loyalists faking being outcasts, or actual outcasts like the girl with Class D, doesn't matter. She wants to gain points because that's the type of person she is, so even if she hates the rest of the class, she'll try to guess their leader. Furthermore, she's their leader, so technically, Class C hasn't even surrendered, just individuals dropped out. The guy with Class B is almost certainly a loyalist spy.
So, most of the class has fun and enjoys luxury. Their moles still on the island can claim the camps on the last day to earn back points, (and right from under the nose of Class D), as well as identify the other classes' leaders as their guard's drop.
It's pretty brilliant. I hope the author actually thought of this, and I'm not just making up something that is better.
Not sure anymore. I thought ANN had it listed as 12 but now there are no episode numbers listed. This series might be going past 12 episodes. No way they can clear up the mess they created the past 3 episodes in the next 2 episodes.
I do not know how popular this show is in Japan and if it is popular it may go well past 12 and even 24 episodes. I suspect it is 24 episodes now.
I like the show and the premise and story and a few of the characters but they are taking their damn time to explain anything and prod the story a long.

@Ryll: That's all fine and all, but ... why are we on a frigging island?! The first 2 episodes of this anime are "thereīs this elite school, you gotta collect points to rise in rank, and itīs exciting because the rules are unknown and corrupt". Thatīs a fine concept.
But now weīre stuck with stalkers, peeping guys, a lord of the flies-island, and a panty thief. WAT
@shadow: Ugh, I hope it's 12 episodes and end.

Episode 11
________________________
I feel like this is the single most content heavy episode this show has had since the first episode's exposition dump, in a good way. I didn't even expect a fight, but I'm not complaining, either. I am afraid, though, that the 'twist' or trap laid during this trip won't live up to expectations (of complexity) set by all of the happenings so far, but I can certainly hope.
These single buildups are getting irritating for me. They wasted the entire episode on nothing. Now Horikita is sick? Really? They could have played this from the beginning and not wait for the last few episodes. I think Ibuki stole the card for Ayanokoji. I think she has a crush on him now. Or it could be very good acting.
Either way this episode felt wasted in many areas and chose not to progress. I suspect the panty thief is a girl whom planted the panties. Probably better to wait till next week as I think now they're going to take multiple episodes to clear up the bullshit they started in the last 4 episodes. When they could have dealt with each one or even a couple in each episode rather than drop everything halfway and continue on in future episodes. Laziness from the company? Makes no sense to me to progress in this manner.

Judging from this shows lack of twists so far and everything based on the next episode title, it was Ayanokouji that seduced spy girl to steal the card from Horikita. He did this all to win the most points for his class. After all, he is still being blackmailed by teacher bitch.
Peace.
It turns out Ayanokouji is the school's director, having gone undercover disguised as student.

I just hope come Wednesday they clear a lot of this up instead of leaving everything hanging like they have been.
Well... not gonna lie, that very end was interesting.
I'd watch a second season simply because of what MC said at the end.
Not interested enough in reading it though.
Agreed! I am now hoping for a season 2. Since it was 12 episodes I am not sure now. For episodes 4 to 9, was nothing but unanswered setups that are now left hanging. Anime that do that irritate the hell out of me when they leave topics unresolved. I take that as super laziness from the company animating the story. I hope it did well enough in Japan so a second season clear all of that gibberish up.
