The pacing is as always with this adaptation a tad rushed. Not a biggy with volume 8 that's one of the weaker ones, but I hope they slow down at one point.

I'm not too crazy at the casting choice for Nagumo. His voice seems a bit too much imo. Sakayanagi is perfect though.


@ADthePro02 I think that scene should be in the next episode (if they don't skip it)

Well, there were some scenes skipped, like Kouenji's plans and how the team was decided. But overall a solid start.

I think one VA that seems off is Wang's. Ik shes supposed to have a child like voice, but her voice sounds wayyy too young and high pitched. Nagumo's voice I thought its okay.

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

The 3rd season of COTE kicks off dumping us immediately into the next special exam. The episode mostly re-introduced familiar faces and set up the events of the arc so nothing too notable to say about this one. These students are back at it with mind games and collusion.

I'm not super crazy about this series either but if this is how you feel then why are you still wasting your time 3 seasons deep 💀💀💀
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

@thebrentinator24 It was a good episode. Straight to the point. Already with the configurations of what could happen and develop this season. I agree with you

A solid introduction. Less complex compared to how S2 opened up, so it feels like we can breathe the information and setting more easily.

I used to really like this series, but after a few years, and only experiencing this in anime form, it hasn't aged that well for me. Pacing is going at light-speed as expected, and when even an anime-only can tell, that's just not looking good. It really has to slow down and let the viewers get acquainted with the characters more, but it is what it is.

@Mcsuper
Yeah, I read the novels and you are right that the pacing is really really fast. Plus, it already cutted some pretty important scenes from the novel already. For example, how the teams were decided, who was chosen as the leader (yukimura), Kouenji's plans etc...Quite a lot have been skipped.

Third semester with new promotions, particular for Ayanokoji's class.

Looks like right off the bat, we got an special type of test mixing in their class with another. They're not really wasting any time this season to get the drama and competition going again. Good to see most of the familiar cast back again and I see some intimidating rivalries building up. Should be an interesting season. Theme songs are still as stylish as always.

intimidating rivalry between yamauchi and arisu, can't wait to see that one act out🤣🤣

Great way to start off a new season. We got a new conflict, a new, kinda unexpected cooperations, and I'm already super invested in the story. Looking into the new episodes, but I wish I watched it when full 3rd season comes out, to now wait for the new episodes each week.

you know its a cote episode when it starts with some quote. pretty standard stuff, as in it feels like an episode i've seen in a different show before. of course the current student council has to seem nice but give asshole vibes. welp i'm just hoping this season isn't as bad as the last.

After the initial delay, we finally have the last stretch of Ayanokouji's 1st year.
But it looks like more is still to be done in this twisted microcosm.

this uh looks rough but hey Zaq is doing the ed

don't really have anything to say other than this is my shield hero of the season as in something i should've dropped ages ago but i will continue to watch while questioning it

could've at least given us 5mins with the characters before sending them right into another exam , and this seems like a bad case where i hardly know any of the characters and everyone's been shuffled around so no clue who is just a npc or actually important besides "the main target discussed at the end "

We are so back! Though I don't seem to remember everything from past seasons xD.

Ichinose!!! For a moment I thought she was going to let out a "Yahallo" xD. Blessed Nao Touyama <3.

I love Kushida's sudden voice changes. And I remember her subplot but I don't fully remember it.

RieTaka character <3.

New OP is great.

The start took me off guard cause idr them talking about a field trip (I probably just need to rewatch last episode of S2) so this next event seems too sudden, but looks like its going to be good
It kind of looks like Ayanokoji's shadow puppetry is coming to shambles tho, with more and more people knowing of him, whether they accept his abilities or not.
Epic op (ed?) song.
I assume Class A's genius is going to hack into/pay to use Class B's leader's account, can't wait to see if Im wrong and if so how she's going to make her look untrustworthy. Im terrible with names 💀

All in all looks like S3 is going to be great. Im going to wait till the season ends so I can binge.

Great episode to start off the new season, but the CGI in the very beginning was awful. For the first episode of a major show I expected a bit better quality.
