Classroom of the Elite season 3: Characters and their voice cast

The episode count for season 3 of the anime has not been revealed yet, but fans can expect more than the usual 12-13 episodes. If the season is limited to only 12 episodes, it may lead to rushed storytelling, which could result in a situation similar to Studio Lerche receiving criticism for animation errors.

The entire cast from the earlier two seasons is set to make a comeback for Classroom of the Elite season 3, reprising their roles. Even the voice actors for characters with smaller roles will be returning.

In the upcoming third installment, several new characters from the light novel will make their debut, including Nazuna Asahina, Tokinari Tsukishiro, and more. The voice cast for these characters has not yet been announced. Here is the list of key characters and their cast members who will play important roles in Classroom of the Elite season 3:

About Classroom of the Elite

Crunchyroll has added seasons 1 and 2 of Classroom of the Elite to its extensive anime collection, featuring both English subbed and dubbed versions for global fans. The series plot is described as follows:

Upon enrolling at Tokyo Koudo Ikusei Senior High School, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji finds himself placed in Class 1-D, known for housing the school's most challenging students, despite the institution's impressive reputation for ensuring all graduates either pursue higher education or secure employment.

Additionally, each month, the school rewards students with points that have a cash value of 100,000 yen, and the classes operate under a laissez-faire policy where talking, sleeping, and even sabotage are allowed during class. A month later, Ayanokoji, Horikita, and the students of Class D uncover the truth about the school's system. Further details, such as additional characters and their voice actors, the opening and ending theme songs, and the episode count for Classroom of the Elite season 3, will be disclosed in due course.

Stay tuned for more news and updates on the anime and light novel series as 2023 progresses.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of Classroom of the Elite, I am thrilled about the announcement of season 3. The series has captivated me with its intriguing plot, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes. The wait for the third season has been long, but the anticipation only heightens my excitement. I can't wait to delve deeper into the world of Tokyo Koudo Ikusei Senior High School and witness the further development of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and his classmates.

The prospect of covering the rest of Year 1 from volume 8 to 11.5 in season 3 is particularly exciting. With twice as many chapters as previous seasons, I anticipate an even more immersive and comprehensive storytelling experience. The potential for a split-cour format with 24 episodes further adds to my enthusiasm, as it suggests that the creators are committed to providing a thorough adaptation of the source material.
