posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Muse Malaysia announced on Saturday that it will add Classroom of the Elite, the television anime adaptation of author Syohgo Kinugasa and illustrator Shunsaku Tomose's Yōkoso Jitsuryoku Shijō Shugi no Kyōshitsu e (Welcome to the Classroom of the Supreme Ability Doctrine or "Yō Jitsu") light novel series. The first episode is already available as of Sunday, 10:00 p.m. GMT +8, and a new episode will be available every following day.
The anime premiered in Japan in July 2017.
Animax Asia previously aired the anime in Southeast Asia, and it describes the story:
At the prestigious Kodo Ikusei Senior High School, almost 100% of the cohort goes on to enter university or find employment. Students here are given the freedom to do almost whatever they want, including talking or sleeping in class, but the truth is that only elite students receive the most favourable treatment. New student Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is placed in D-class, where the “inferior” and problematic students are relegated to. Along with his classmates, they'll have to work to bring up the rank of the class or face possible expulsion!
Seiji Kishi (Assassination Classroom, Persona 4 The Animation, Yuki Yuna Is a Hero) and Hiroyuki Hashimoto (Magical Girl Raising Project, both seasons of Is the order a rabbit?) directed the series at studio Lerche. Aoi Akashiro (Fuuka, KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!!) handled the series composition, and Kazuaki Morita (Tsuki ga Kirei, Danganronpa The Animation, Assassination Classroom) designed the characters.
