I don't know what people are crying about, not every Shounen anime needs to be as complex as hunter x hunter and when it is, people still cry about the overwhelming exposition.

The story of this anime is pretty simple you don't need any explanation, but I will still give some context. It starts with the Fighting competition. The Group who has held this competition is searching for a certain person or something like that and then there is an Evil organization, who is also searching for the same thing for some Evil purpose. If you have seen some Shounen anime you know how things goes.

When you have already seen this formula repeat million of the time, then why waste your time? Because this show doesn't waste your time, it skips most of the average cliched things and gives you the meat. Most people watch Shounen for good action and this show provides that, the choreography of the fight scenes are the top tier and the quality of the animation is just mind blowing. This show is 90% entertainment and 10% some boring fluff.

The blind hate this anime is getting pretty much reminds me of the early days of Attack on Titan. Literally everyone was hating it because it became way too popular. Seems like the same thing is going on with The God of High School. Yes, it is not the greatest adaptation, but it is damn entertaining.
