Alright, let me spill the tea about this anime with a protagonist who’s a genius but chooses to hide it behind a lazy facade because, hey, who wants unnecessary hassle, am I right? This is one of those premises that always tickles our fancy, and you’ll find it in the series Classroom of the Elite!
Our main character is none other than Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, and his go-to catchphrase is “all humans are tools.” Classic stuff, right? It’s the kind of thing you’d expect from a lazy yet brilliant MC.
Now, for all you curious cats out there who want to dive into this anime where the protagonist seems perpetually sleepy, here’s the Classroom of the Elite watch order:

Koudo Ikusei Senior High School is a leading school with state-of-the-art facilities. The students there have the freedom to wear any hairstyle and bring any personal effects they desire. Koudo Ikusei is like a utopia, but the truth is that only the most superior students receive favorable treatment.
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is a student of D-class, which is where the school dumps its “inferior” students in order to ridicule them. For a certain reason, Kiyotaka was careless on his entrance examination, and was put in D-class. After meeting Suzune Horikita and Kikyou Kushida, two other students in his class, Kiyotaka’s situation begins to change.

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School seems like a paradise, but in reality, it is an extreme meritocracy.

The third semester kicks off in high gear with a special boot camp deep in the mountains. Forcibly separated into groups along grade and gender lines, the first, second and third years alike must work together to survive the rugged terrain. Even worse? The leader of the group that comes in last will be expelled. Can Class D make it back to campus intact, or is this where they finally say goodbye to one of their own?
So, there you have it, folks! If you’re into the whole genius slacker vibe, Classroom of the Elite might just be your cup of tea. Get ready for a ride filled with mind-bending brilliance and a touch of laziness!
