Review of Classroom of the Elite III

The third season of Classroom of the Elite is very similar to the previous season. While the story and special exams remain interesting, they still feel very rushed. Watching this anime feels like a story trying to rush through the boring stuff as quickly as possible to get to an interesting part but in this case the boring stuff it's rushing through is actually interesting and it's a shame that the anime has such high pacing. The story in the third season continues where the second season left off but shifts away from Ryuuen and starts focusing more on Sakayanagi and Ichinose. Smaller characters likeHirata and Kouenji also receive some attention though and there's quite a lot of character development overall with Ayanakouji being the obvious exception since he remains the "people are just tools" guy. The story also still doesn't give nearly enough information for you to come up with your own ideas about how situations should be solved so all you can do while watching is see what Ayanokouji comes up with.

The animation is quite okay overall but there is some CGI. CGI was also used during a pretty significant chess match which was kind of weird since it's an important event and not some background noise. The voice acting was great and so was the music, they both suited the characters/anime well.

Overall the biggest problem with this anime is probably it's fast/rushed pacing. However if you enjoyed season two which shared a similar problem, then you'll probably like this season as well.
