as someone who has read the novel, I am quite concerned with how fast the pacing is but it is only the first episode so I guess I'll give it some time

Very excited to see this back, genuinely hyped. Animation is noticeably better than last season so massive W. As a LN reader I can see that the pacing is at light speed as usual, but vol 8 is one of the weaker volumes imo, so I don’t mind. Just hope that they keep the animation quality and animate the rest of the volumes appropriately🙏🙏

8/10 episode.

I wonder how it feels as an anime only, because they cut so much stuff. But i think it was decent.

cote anime is back with the same old shit. ZAQ op is decent and actually good visuals but why the fuck does this even have 2 chief and 1 director for. i love the light novel but kadokawa and lerche really fucks cote over and makes it look so bland. can't wait to fully watch a botched/rushed adaptation again!
need a reboot of this in 10/15 years or a studio change for year2 (it will fucking be Lerche)

Portraying in the way that there are no loop holes in the special exam makes it anxious to know how Ayanokoji will handle the exam along with helping former school president in taking down Nagumo.

Weren't it bunking beds in the novel ? Pretty sure here. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since i read that. Not that it matters tho.
I like the pace this is going at. Much faster than in the novel. Tho, some information could be lost here for anime only people. Can't judge this as a novel reader.
Surprised this went right into the exam here.

And why is it rated 8.22 already ? I mean, it will probably be at least a 8/10 at the end and it's the 3rd season to a popular, consistently great anime, but come on. Who rates an anime after 1 ep ?
Unless it's some ginormous clusterfuck that gets dropped and deserves a 1-4/10 ?

Sometimes I think I am Ayanokoji.
I also like to not express any emotions, torment women by exposing them to bullying, torture and sexually assault them to test their loyalty and resolve.
You know, like typicall deep, morally gray and complex character would do.

Why did lerche even take on this job if they’re not gonna put any effort or soul into it? They delayed for this? ? No T rex scene, anime original scenes that hurt the original story,… hey at least they made suzune even hotter.. had low expectations but fuck they were exceeded
@Marinate1016

To this day I still wonder how A1 Pictures, Clowerwork or JC Staff missed the chance to animate COTE, since they are the best studios to adapt LN's.
From all the garbage studios Lerche got the COTE, maybe with Lerche is cheaper to make the anime, thats why they are sticking to this garbage studio.

Oh yes after a long wait. COTE is back.

It seems Ayanokoji already knows who will win between Manabu and Nagumo. Kei also helped Ayano this time. Arisu and Honami also need more screen time for the next episode.

I don't know what strategy and Ayano's next steps I'm waiting for.

Maybe those studios weren't interested enough to animate this series? This series isn't really their type at all if you take a look at their other shows.

Looks like this’ll be an interesting challenge for Ayanokouji, and there’s the request from the former president to boot. It’ll be interesting to see if he’ll have to take control of things by himself or will supporting Karuizawa from behind the scenes and manipulating the informant to get the job done this time around…

It’s nice to see that the after effects of that beatdown of Ryuen is still strong, xD. That was definitely a highlight of the previous season and I couldn’t wait to see how it would affect things going forward.

Pretty cool snap of Ayanokouji with the Russian roulette pose in the Op visuals there. What kind of symbolism does that offer, I wonder.

After the disappointing adaptation of last season, we're back, and we jump right back in and start the Mixed Training Camp arc.

ZAQ has returned as per usual, and honestly, this one might be her best one yet. The visuals accompanying it might also be the best so far.

As they entered the third semester and moved up from Class D to Class C, Ayanokoji and his classmates were headed towards the special exam called Mixed Training Camp, conducted with students from all grades. This unique test involved forming groups with students from a different class, despite their previous rivalries. Discord was inevitable. However, there was a rule stating that if they fell below a certain threshold, students would face expulsion.

Horikita is making an effort to win Kushida over, even though her dislike for her remains strong. Meanwhile, Horikita's brother has asked Ayanokoji to handle the new student council president, Nagumo. There's worry that Nagumo might use his power to expel students even more frequently.

For us who have been following the show for a while, the focus is likely on Ayanokoji's next move - it's almost like watching a game of chess in four dimensions. We might have to wait for another episode or two to see how Ayanokoji's latest plan unfolds and pays off amidst all the maneuvering between these characters.

With this season set to cover the last 4 volumes of the first-year arc, get ready for another rushed experience.
@IzanaSolos You whiny LN readers always spoil the fun of anime only fans.If u have hated S1,S2 then why are u even watching the Season 3?

This will be my first time sharing my opinion on the forum! The third season of 'Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e' is a completely new experience for me as I've never read the manga or the light novel.

In this season, Ayanokouji faces new obstacles, such as Sakayanagi or Nagumo, the new president. Even the persistent presence of Kushida remains bothersome in this anime. However, I feel at ease because our favorite strategist seems to have brought his tools with him, and I assume Ryuuen, the antagonist from the previous season, will be one of them.

I'm eager to see how Ayanokouji will tackle this new challenge, especially because this time he seems unable to protect his entire class alone.

I'll finish by mentioning the importance of the opening theme for me, and I'm thrilled that this time it's by ZAQ. Without their music, the experience wouldn't be the same.

@gamibo Just so you know, I've only checked out the first volume of the light novel, so don't label me as a light novel enthusiast, you twit. And you know what? Season 1 is like my absolute favorite anime ever. It was just top-notch. Sadly, I can't say the same for season 2. But hey, I'm still sticking around for those awesome OPs and because this series is kinda close to my heart.

And guess what? It's not just the light novel readers, even those who only watch the anime are throwing shade at this adaptation. Crazy, right?

Truly amazing. Animation is an improvement from last season. I enjoy the story and its portrayed well the only real issues is that the animation is kidna still bad but its tolerable. the art is pretty good (animation issue doe). Great adaptation. Arisu really be scheming this episode doe acting sus she definitetly plays among us. Nagumo is goofy and funny.

A-1 and CloverWorks are owned by Aniplex, and it seems Kadokawa always planned to be the main producer for COTE, so those two studios were always off the table.

Kadokawa could have used their own anime studios (Kinema Citrus and ENGI), but Kinema Citrus wasn't owned by Kadokawa yet in 2017 and ENGI didn't exist yet.

JC Staff could have been an option, they have worked together before, but it seems Studio Hibari (which owns Lerche) was the one who invested on the show and got the animation job.

Whats with this animation quality? Its so power point static...you only see their mouths flap, and the characters stay so still and stiff like statues its actually even worse than Hoshi no Samidare. And we all know how dismally bad that was. This is an even lower low.

Totally unbearable to watch after being spoilt with Sousou no Frieren.

Didnt even last 3 minutes, let alone 3 episodes.....and dropped.
