Review of Classroom of the Elite III

The third season of Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e left me feeling pretty underwhelmed, despite the hope I had that things would improve. Honestly, the anime has been quite average so far. It's incredibly frustrating to watch something where, for three episodes, you get generic build-up, and then in the fourth episode, they reveal, "it was all part of the plan" followed by a long explanation of said plan. This formula has never really been great, and now it's becoming overused and predictable. That said, this season was still better than the previous ones. It gave more focus to other characters and explored theirmore human sides, which was a refreshing change from the over-focus on Ayanokoji's apathetic personality. Plus, the ending left a good hint for what’s to come, suggesting that the challenges ahead might be genuinely difficult, which gives me some hope for the next season.

Despite the repetitive formula, there’s potential for improvement, but it’s been a slow journey getting there so far.
