Innskip said:@Neko_Mon The keywords would be if compared to LN. If you take any book (personally i haven't seen at least something as good as original) it would be much better because it's wholesome author creation, while anime, movie is adaptation of the original. A lot of people mess up with it. People give praise to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Sniper etc while the are trash compared to the books. It would take too much time to animate /film and cover not even every detail but even many characters and interesting parts, events, and sometimes it's easy to show dynamic scenes (like fights or sport events, pool scenes) but it's impossible to convey/trasfer all thoughts, thought pattenrs/processes, feelings, emotions, relations between characters and ofc all dialogues (they have to choose even from the important ones). So a lot of things are left out. But everybook requires good translation and it should be published because a lot of people can read only clasic paper book. I don't read LN only because of that, i simply don't have means to do that. Classroom of the elite is amazing and one of my favourite anime, maybe because i have not read the LN. For those who says it's bad i wonder what anime they consider as good as COTE ? There are very few titles which are as good, no matter how you look at it COTE also will end in TOP, despite the fact that it's animation isn't best or done as good as some trashy anime with no content except pretty characters.
from my opinion, most of the time, the anime does a bad job covering the LN. Some people watch the anime because they read the LN, some watch it because its pretty popular, and most of the people watching the anime, and only the anime, are probably some 12 year olds thinking that they are koji or smth. tbh i watch the anime because the anime is what brought me to this book, and because i get reminded that the time when i watched only the first 3-4 episodes i was thinking how mysterious it was, the flashbacks of the whiteroom. if the anime started having more flashbacks, it would certainly make it better.
one more thing that makes the anime bad is that it moves way too fast, like one whole book (over 150 pages) is made in only 2 episodes. it would certainly be better if the seasons were around only 2 volumes, or 3 if the first 2 didn't have too much action, or they could make movies out of them, i would certainly enjoy that
