The latest
The latest promotional video for Classroom of the Elite season 3 anime series has unveiled and previewed the series’ theme songs and artists. ZAQ will perform the opening theme titled “Minor Piece” and Yui Ninomiya will perform the ending theme song, "Konsei Dai Kakumei," which translates to “The Great Revolution of this World.”
The series will debut on the AT-X channel in Japan on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at 10:30 p.m. Japanese Standard Time, and will also air on the Tokyo MX, BS NTC, Sun TV, TV Aichi, and KBS Kyoto stations. Crunchyroll has confirmed they will stream the series weekly with English subtitles as it airs in Japan.
Crunchyroll had previously streamed the second season as it aired in Japan from July 2022 onwards, and also streamed the first season as it premiered in Japan from July 2017 onwards. At that time, Funimation had streamed an English dub of the first season, but Crunchyroll has since taken over streaming the series’ dubbed version.
Seiji Kishi and Hiroyuki Hashimoto are returning to their roles as chief directors for the first season, with Yoshihito Nishoji as the credited director at Lerche studios. Hayato Kazano supervised the series’ scripts, and Kazuaki Morita returned to design the characters for Classroom of the Elite season 3. According to Crunchyroll, the first season is described as follows:
"Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is a new student at Tokyo Koudo Ikusei Senior High School, known for its reputation of sending 100% of its students to college or employment. However, he is assigned to Class 1-D, which is filled with the school's troublemakers. Additionally, the school awards students points with a cash value of 100,000 yen every month, and classes have a laissez-faire policy allowing talking, sleeping, and even sabotage. After a month, Ayanokoji, Horikita, and the Class D students uncover the truth of the system in place at their school…"

Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of Classroom of the Elite, I am thrilled about the upcoming third season. The new trailer has given us a glimpse of the amazing animation and music that we can expect. I can't wait to hear the full versions of the opening and ending themes performed by ZAQ and Yui Ninomiya. The visuals in the trailer are stunning, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in this new season.
I'm also excited about the return of the original voice actors and the production team. Seiji Kishi and Hiroyuki Hashimoto are back as chief directors, and Yoshihito Nishoji is the credited director at Lerche studios. Hayato Kazano supervised the series' scripts, and Kazuaki Morita returned to design the characters. This team has done an incredible job with the previous seasons, and I'm confident that they will deliver another masterpiece with season 3.
