REVIEW: Classroom For Heroes Anime Series Review

I dropped this when they introduced the scantily clad dragon child, but apparently this series is even more forgettable than I realized. I honestly don't remember it being a comedy! If you made me swear on what it was about, I'd have said it was about a Hero trying to be a regular guy in a Hero school without giving away his identity as an already accomplished Hero, sort of another iteration of slice of magic school life, with some mild comic relief now and then. I guess when I wrote it off, I basically erased it from my memory! Good to know I didn't continue to waste my time on it.

Am I wrong in thinking that this type of show would have worked better 5 or even 10 years ago? After three episodes I kind of let watching it lapse, but the way the characters were being introduced and the ecchi humour used made it seem like a holdover from when that kind of stuff was more common. Or maybe it's just my tastes that have changed since then?

I dunno, I just kind of feel like it would have been more successful or talked about in the early 2010s when we saw stuff like Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero, Bladedance of Elementalers, Campione, or Demon King Daimao.

I actually thought the show was a lot of fun. They jam-packed a lot of content into each episode but it felt like everyone involved (writing, animation, voices) was enjoying the heck out of it.

It reminded me a lot of Iceblade Sorcerer but more tongue-in-cheek and with better production values.

That actually sounds like a perfect premise for comedy.

i also found it interesting. for one thing, the reviewer could have easily dismissed it as a trash harem ala tenpura, but luckily it is not a harem at the slightest!

I wouldn't say it's not a Harem since we've got a bunch of girls and it feels like the main ones do have some semblance of feelings or attraction to Blade, it just isn't as focused on. We even got a kiss.

Earnest was definitely crushing hard on him.
