I am curious to know if I am the only person that dont enjoy this series. I know the show is extremely popular but me personally dont enjoy it as much as others.

I believe the reason I dislike the show is due to the main character Cid Kagenou. I cant rock with him as a character. I understand hes supposed to be a psychopath but him not believing the in the evil cult even though the proof is in his face is jarring. That combined with how much destruction he just leaves behind bothers me. I understand he isn't a hero, and cant help everyone but his selfish nature rubs me the wrong way after consuming media like: naruto, one piece, bleach, my hero.

Edit 1: after reading the comments. It seems to me alot of people that enjoy the show are a young audience that like it for its flashyness and how anti isekai Cid is as a character.

Just saying othwr shows do that but do it better. Someone explained it good for me there are 2 sides in thw story. 1 said is saying hey this is a joke of a show and the 2nd side is saying hey this show is serious and there is conflict. I dont think it blends together.

Im.neithwr a vanilla anime watcher nor do I simply consume shonen, I dont see the appeal behind his character nor the story.

Im am and will always be the biggest sanemi hater. If he doesnt have a hater just know I died.

Fuck him and fuck tanjiro for being a bitch and letting him get away for what he did to nezuko

Also fuck the leader for letting him do that to nezuko.

I saw a YouTube video al be it, posted 8 months ago questioning the intelligence/intellect of our main protagonist ayanokji.

I watched high school of the elite and caught up to the light novels, up until the end of year 2. To me I truly belive he is smart and a master manipulator.

The video claims that our main protag isnt really that smart. Infact hes just surrounded by stupid (not stupid but unintelligent students)

I believe the video has some great points but it is highly disingenuous

You can argue alot of the plot points come out of nowhere but to say it doesnt make sense is not true at all. Everything is explained in the story.

To argue that these are supposed to be the elite of children when it comes to intelligence is false. Cuz the story tells you everyone excels in a particular skill set and to go beyond that those in class D have more flaws than those in class A -C.

The anime/manga also tells you kids must apply to come to this school. They arent just forced into it. So ofc kids trying to escape their homes would be applying.

Ayanokji not spending all his money isnt him being smart and his peers being dumb but a direct foreshadowing of how vague school instructions and rules are. Just like in real life you can navigate certain laws, cuz of how vague they are. The money/points test isnt about being smart but more so impulse control. Alot of kids and adults today are impulsive.

When it comes to the fighting its directly shoen to us that you must have proof someone is fighting and also hersay is not enough evidence. Kai was getting bullied where there was no cameras.

I dont want to het into all the class room exams, cuz the way he solves them do make sense and can be hard for an average viewer but its not hard once they are explained.

Only reason im making this post is due to similar videos that have existed before. As a naruto fan I remember the Naruto the biggest hypocrite and the downfall of bleach videos and how they spread so much misinformation that people believe to this day even though they were debunked.
