posted on by Egan Loo
Kadokawa announced on Saturday that the third season of the Classroom of the Elite anime will premiere on January 3. It will first premiere on the AT-X channel on that day at 10:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m. EDT), before running on Tokyo MX, BS NTV, Sun-TV, TV Aichi, and KBS Kyoto.
The anime was delayed from its slated 2023 premiere due to "various circumstances." Crunchyroll will stream the season as it airs in Japan.
The second season premiered in July 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired under the title Classroom of the Elite II.
The first season's directors Seiji Kishi and Hiroyuki Hashimoto returned as chief directors, with Yoshihito Nishōji (first season's opening sequence, Maji de Otaku na English! Ribbon-chan: Eigo de Tatakau Mahō Shōjo, Seven Senses of the Re'Union) as the credited director at Lerche. Hayato Kazano (first season's episode scripts, Killing Bites, Rumble Garanndoll) oversaw the series scripts, and Kazuaki Morita returned to design the characters.
The first season premiered in July 2017. Crunchyroll streamed the series, and Funimation streamed an English dub. The second and third seasons will adapt the original story's complete first-year-student arc.
