Summary
Classroom Crisis in a sci-fi action drama anime that deals with a classroom of highly talented engineers part of the A-TEC division of the Kirishima Corporation,one of the biggest corporations in Fourth Tokyo, that try to create a new engine for space travel and sport. While the A-TEC division is striving to complete the new X-3 engine and wow everyone in the world, the executives above in the company are looking for power, money and domination which causes them to try to shut down A-TEC. It’s up to the A-TEC class to stop their own downsizing! Keep in mind that this show starts off in a semi-slow pace but bear with it because it picks up quickly after a few episodes. The “Story” section of this review contains spoilers so beware when reading through that. This show is very well done and it’s probably the most underrated show of the summer season.

​Story (Spoilers)
The show starts off with the A-TEC division of the Kirishima Corporation trying to build a new engine to showcase to the world as the fastest and most efficient engine the world has seen. When they get word of a new transfer student is coming to the A-TEC lab, everyone gets excited but it turns out that the new transfer student is stuck as a hostage in route to Mars. When the A-TEC team checks to see if they can rescue him, Iris, the class Ace pilot takes off in the new ship w/ engine to rescue the transfer student. She ends up crashing the ship and destroying the engine to save the new transfer student, he then turns out to be Kiryuu Nagisa, their boss, who will also be attending the A-TEC class. At first glance, Nagisa’s main goal seems to be to shut down the A-TEC class because the branch director of the Kirishima Corporation and his brother, Kiryuu Yuuji, said that they’re using up too much of the company’s funds. Soon enough, the A-TEC lab gets a budget cut of 70% and they are forced to relocate to an old warehouse without any of their high-end equipment. This forces some of the A-TEC members to leave the lab. Kaito then seeks help from the company’s union to stop the downsizing but Nagisa knows how to handle the situation and ends up making the union a lost cause for Kaito. Also, he is promoted from teacher to chief of A-TEC in order to stop the union from helping A-TEC. Through Kaito Sera’s perseverance, the members do come back since they see the entire core of A-TEC crumbling to pieces. With their genius accountant, they manage the regain most of their equipment and tools through different payment loans that they can use while under the 70% budget cut. This shocks Nagisa because he never thought they’d be able to accomplish anything with their new budget and warehouse station. With their new equipment, they prepare to present their new X-3 engine by doing a rocket liftoff test. During the tests, Iris starts shaking and breathing heavy followed by some flashbacks of her in a desolate place in space on a crashed ship. You find out that this traumatic experience caused her to have PTSD and leaving her almost unable to fly at all. At this point, Kaito is looking desperately for a replacement pilot and he even considers himself at one point. When Nagisa finalizes and acts on his plan to take over Yuuji, it all goes smoothly and Nagisa becomes director of that branch and joins in with the other executives, including the CEO, his brother. Nagisa then uses his position to try to save A-TEC while also trying to overthrow his CEO brother. While this is happening, A-TEC is testing their new X-3 engine with Iris on board, mid-way through her flight, she starts having a panic attack and starts hallucinating asteroid debris coming her way, but, the mission control room doesn’t find any asteroids in the area and then check on Iris’ body status to find that she’s gone into a panicked state, which causes her flight to veer off-course and eventually crash. Iris does survive, she does get hospitalized though. Meanwhile, Nagisa fails to get any votes on the board meeting regarding A-TEC being shut down in a month. After the board meeting, Kazuhisa, the CEO, explains to Nagisa that all of this had been planned by him the entire time and everything was set up perfectly, this shocking Nagisa, he leaves and goes to see Kaito and explains to him that A-TEC will be shut down, still acting like a director, but Kaito brings the inner emotions of Nagisa out to the point of tearing up. When he goes and see’s Mizuki (Kaito’s sister), she’s working on the X-3 engine and next thing you know, they’re hugging and they confess their feelings for each other and kiss. On the other side, you see Iris standing by and hearing them, and proceeds to run off, tearing up. This is pretty much the only romance sequence in the entire show unfortunately, a 3-way love triangle. When Nagisa on his way home, gets assaulted, kidnapped and taken by Yuuji. While this is going on, Kaito encounters an old friend who happens to have been hired to work with the company and asks if Kaito wants to help. When Kaito goes sees the project that his old friend is working on, it turns out to be extreme war machine robots that he’s creating under the Kirishima Corporation and needs Kaito’s engine to make this plan come to fruition. Kaito refuses as he does not want his engine to be used on a machine of war. When Nagisa wakes up, he’s beaten and bruised and he realizes that this is Yuuji’s way of taking revenge on Nagisa. Then, Yuuji sends him on a collision course with an abandoned asteroid, while this is happening, Kaito is preparing for the big presentation with the CEO and the rest of A-TEC are finishing up plans on showcasing the X-3 Engine, which they do this while also going to save Nagisa. The episode is called “The Greatest Presentation in History” which lives up to it’s name. Kaito delivers the best presentation in history, he explains how the X-3 engine will be more fuel efficient, more cost efficient and an overall save and investment for the entire company. Everyone is blown away from this presentation, but the CEO says that he wants a demo because all of this can be just theory. They are ready for this and show a live feed of Mizuki and Iris on their way to save Nagisa, this shocks the CEO because he was not prepared for them to showcase the X-3 engine in action. When they do save Nagisa, Iris hugs him and you see Mizuki feel extremely jealous but puts her pride away and hugs him too. Finally, Kaito announces that A-TEC will be quitting the Kirishima Corporation and becoming an independent company. The CEO gets to keep the X-3 engine though, but it’s fine because A-TEC will be able to make better things in the future, so they leave the Kirishima Corporation and become A-TEC Co. With Nagisa being the CEO and only time will tell who will be the most successful company.

​Animation
​

The animation on this anime is very clean and detailed. Most of the detail is seen in the background, textures and scenery and not on the characters themselves. Although, the characters are illustrated way better than most shows I’ve seen. Everything flows smoothly and efficiently  Special effect, sceneries and lighting is on par with the rest of the animation and hardly any weird animation errors or glitches.

Sounds and Music​

​Starting with the opening of the show, it’s a very space-y pop theme song made by TrySail. The ending track of the show is called “Anemone” by ClariS and in contrast to the opening, it’s a softer take on the show with a slower paced almost soft pop feel to it.

​Opinions and Thoughts
​This show features lots of drama with some action, comedy and romance mixed in of this new take on future civilizations and their way of life. It’s an interesting take on political agendas within business’ with a space colonials on mars theme. At the end, it foreshadows the Kazuhisa speaking with his dad though, so I’m thinking there might be an OVA or something because it felt like they finished this show with some loose ends. For example; that foreshadowing of the CEO’s father. I also felt a little disappointed in the fact that they never said Nagisa’s real name since Iris’ real name IS Nagisa. For the romance part, it also didn’t feel right how they kept the love triangle route and never had some closure on who he actually chooses. These are all small details, but this is an overall good show and I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in these type of political animes. Thanks for reading!!!

Classroom crisis at first it's boring for the first 3 episodes which is why I dropped it at first then I came back to it because lot's of people liked it.So I come back to the show and am happy I did continue.
The story takes place at a school that has a program that is part of the company Kirishna  (I probably misspelled that) the program A-tec is about to be shut down because of money problem's and a man named Nagisa Kiyru a super elite business man is what they call him is put in charge to shut A-tec down.While Kaito Sera is a teacher who also works with A-tec to build rockets.It turn's out to be a story with politics,Business and a little bit of romance.

Then we have the Characters Kaito Sera is the teacher of the class and the boss of the program for A-tec who is a genius engineer trying to keep A-tec from being shut down. Then we have Iris Shirisaki who has no memory at one point in time and can't remember there actual name. We have Nagisa Kiyru who is the super elite business man who has dark past and is on a fight for revenge.

The animation was good with decent special effect's and great color effect's.

Sound the opening was pretty catchy the ending was alright but it wasn't above and beyond with the other music it was decent at most.

  over all I enjoyed it I hope you will too.

for first i will say it now this is really Political mixed with Drama and Sci-Fi but can be pretty interesting if you like this genre because of all the problems who happen during the anime without forget about the back past story but thats not everyone who can like this anime so just think before watching if thats gonna interest you.. but anyway lets begin !

About The Storywe begin with our class A-TEC , they build super engine like spaceship they are a special classroom just for that.. they have done everything they want just their project but the boss want to dismantled with someone who are hired to dismantled it but the Kaito (the teacher) will not lets this guy banned this class because he freaking like it.. and behind all of that a lot of political problems will happen , the thing interesting in that is what is gonna happen with them because they fight and don't let the company do whatever they want with the class.. and we have some back past story or flashback with some little story who are needed for the story .. we can say thats great but thats not everyone who can be interested by this kind of story.. but for me i have freaking like it thats a pretty nice story

About The Animations and Sounds
the graphics are awesome nothing bad to say about it , for the Opening and Ending i like both but i like more the Opening because of the super nice effect and how the song fit with the anime and the genre , i will leave the both link just for you

Opening

Ending

About The Characters
we got some nice characters and some of them who you will not their attitude because they can be bitch LOOOl but thats only goes for the bad characters.. well i will just mention some of them because thats gonna be too long and bored for you .. they are all nice i think 

Kaito Sera / this guy is a very but a very headed teacher.. he is teacher of the A-TEC class , he never let him downed by something and are motivated and cannot be destroyed by anything , he will fight until he died so he is pretty nice and funny because of his unique personality

Sera Mizuki / she is the little sister of Kaito and work at the A-TEC she is a student note this , the most gentle character in the anime she cheer-up the others the most of time , and have a best friend named Iris Shirasaki who i don't have mentioned

Kiryuu Nagisa / the guy who are hired for dismantled A-TEC i can say he can be a little bit asshole because of his attitude but i think he have a little great side he just don't show it.. he is rival with Kaito because they don't like each others

Angelina / well she is funny too i have like this girl because of the personality she have and she know martial art.. and be drunk we she go drink because of his personal problem.. but she gonna help Nagisa

About The Enjoymentfor me i have liked this but for the others i cannot say that everyone will enjoy it because of how the anime is running.. some of you can be bored very bored but some people can like that but if you like Sci-Fi or just a little relax anime with some Drama thats can be a little good choice for you 

i want to recommand something like that but thats really depend on what you like so i will say try to watch some episode before just for be sure if thats the kind of anime you like , but if i talk for me i have very like how the thing have turned i will probably miss a little the ambiance of this anime o:
