CHOYOYU! High School Prodigies is basically a combination of and Dr. Stone Dangan Ronpa in a fantasy world.
The episodes with a short introduction of all the main characters. Ringo Ohoshi is a great innovator with a cybernated bunny which talks to her and help her with its advices. That is also one reason why it reminds us of Dangan. It also reminds us of Monomi AI in DR3 anime that Gekkogahara had.
Then comes Aio Ichijo, who is tremendously skilled with sword. She can even defeat a force of gunmen in military with her sword. Although, she is high schooler but a great samurai as well. Moving from battle field, where Aoi is, to medical tent, where we get to see Kaine Kanzaki, an incredible doctor who can treat and save a patient who has lost all hopes to survive. Then there is genius entrepreneur, Masato Sanada who is known as ‘Devil of the financial world’.
Shinobu Sarutobi is a skilled ninja who aims to become a great journalist by using her ninja skills.
There is a boy, Tsukasa Mikogami who has been introduced a Prime Minister and is responsible for all political activities.
Last and certainly the best one is ’Prince Akatsuki’ who has been dramatically introduced as the most talented magician of the entire world. His talent has been proved with the scene where he make Statue of Liberty to disappear.
Tukasa wakes up before everyone else and realizes that their plane has been crashed. He has been greeted by an elf girl who he thought at first is a cosplayer. They have been taking care of them after their plane crashed. Although the scene of elf girl feeding meat to Tsukasa was unnecessary but still the episode was quite good. He finally realizes that those creatures are not cosplayers, he request to see the area where plane crashed. After getting a view of plane crash and a dragon fly, he comes to know that they are in a different world.
There is leap of one month, we witness the rest of the group living in that land and have accepted the fact they are living in an entirely different world. The only thing they have been wondering now is that what are they going to do now? So, while discussing after a banquet, they decide their motive which includes: get to know about the land their customs; look for ways to get back home; Payback the village for being kind to them all this time.
They get to pay them pack quite soon after the discussion when the women of village have been attacked by some nefarious soldiers when their men are not home. Tsukasa comes first to protect all the women. Shinobu and Aoi fights with guards and Tsukasa warns the last one. They get horrified and runs away but they still have chance to let the lord know about this. Tsukasa had already predicted it would happen so he sent a backup for the safe side so that won’t open their tongue.
All it needs to terrify those guards was a little ‘magic’ from Akatsuki. It’s hard to decide that he is the best of them all. He is extraordinary but as the same time not very courageous and is the only one who has still not entirely accepted the fact that he has been living in a different world. He is quite immature. Again something that reminds of Dangan Ronpa. He can be referred to the love child of Himiko Yumeno and Kokichi Ouma.
Overall, the first episode of CHOYOYU! High School Prodigies made good impression with amusing characters. The episode had many interesting scene that we didn’t get to mention them in this article like Ringo trying to modugy the cell phones as it doesn’t seem to work there and Tsukasa pleasing everyone with Mayonnaise. The show is going to be great as the first episode has lift our expectation high.
