Lerche this season tried setting their priorities straight on what they wanted to be well animated and it shows. This episode especially the Ryuen scene is an example of that.

As an anime watcher, I kinda saw the Kei ship coming and although I like Kei, I couldn't be happy watching it cause I was thinking; "He's doing exactly what Hirata did" He's only using his pawn for self-growth which I hope changes him for the better although it can also be a bad thing.
I'm going to hate when he uses Kei who genuinely likes him like a "textbook" and dumps her. If that goes according to his plan. Hopefully that changes.

He chose Kei because

1. She's easy to read and doesn't seem like she will betray him
2. He's finds her attractive
3. She holds a lot of sway over the girls in the school
4. If he ends up discarding her, she will be able bounce back quickly. Unlike with Suzune or Ichinose.
5. He holds a deal with her that she can make use of him however she wants, but she has made no attempt to do so
@LemonMAL

Those are not bad aspects he based his choice on but I wonder who he would go with for a serious relationship. If we take into account he savagely rejected Maya because she ain't very bright it would be probably Arisu then because she is second to him in brains.

This is not saying much, but I think this is my most favourite season out of the 3. And this is not taking into account how much was butchered, cut out, and altered (it's been a while since I read it so I don't remember everything... and actually I don't think I've read 11.5 yet, ig I'll get to that rn), but simply just for what it is.

During most of the 2nd season I was like "ugh another COTE episode, why am I doing this to myself?" But this season was like: "Oh hey a new COTE, yay" Instead of a 5 this time, I'll give it a 6, I guess.

@MomoSinX

His rejection of Maya had nothing to do with her intelligence. In the LN he said he would have accepted her because she's the most normal girl at the school, but his fathers visit to the principal changed his thinking. Unfortunately the anime has to make Ayanokoji a souless monster, so he can't show that he always liked Maya more than the other girls.

Bro remain expressionless while saying the sweetest things that would make regular romance MC dies in cringe. based as ever.

A good send off episode, warping things up neatly without setting too much for future story. Overall, Intellectually more pleasing that the two previous season.

Can't wait to see the next season and see others reaction about him dating Kei, especially Ichinose's :D

@Rinrinka so real, so true. I need to see Ichinose's reaction to this lmao. I was almost sold that Ayanokouji was gonna ask Ichinose to date him this last episode because they ended their alliance but KK was probably the easier catch. Also surprised to see him having "regular" romantic feelings for once, even though he's still a stonewall he may be turning a corner. Though in the back of my mind I think he is still just gonna use her as a means to an end. I hope they announce the next 2 seasons!

Solo puedo decir que ha sido espectacular: La batalla mental entre Ayanokoji y Sakayanagi, la progresiva revelación del pasado de Ayanokoji, el desarrollo de Horikita o todos los misterios sobre la White Room. No puedo esperar a la temporada 4.

Finally, I saw a very clear and perfectly adapted from LN episode. This was overall by far the best episode in this 3rd season, they adapted everything, even kanzaki talk against ryuen, who until now, got literally 0 screentime. Homewher they skipped a little some dialogues, most important parts where the dialogues under the rain with Ichinose, but this is a great episode. Rating 8,5/10

Damn Ayanokouji's strategic confession to Kei at the end was nice, they're going out together as planned, I'm hooked to see what's coming next now if they do another season especially with the new rival that has been teased, even though it's rushed and all but I didn't read LN anyway

Oh, this episode was nice and cool. Ayano hanged and talked with most of the best girls... Ryuuen is getting edgy again, but he won't get the better hand easily.

Kiyotaka's proposal to Kei was cute but also frightening lol he is showing his true colors again in the end.

Finally, Ayanokouji makes his choice. But, it is more than meets the eye. Still he sees people as pieces in a chess board. Maybe, he'll meet someone who won't make him think that way? Next, season, please...

And here we are at the end of season 3. This season was pretty well done but some parts felt a bit rushed.I am really interested to see the white room subjects come in next season and how Ayanokoji will deal with the chairman. The whole Kei thing at the end was nice. Lets see if Ayanokoji manages to actually fall in love and not just learn about it.

"...I'll deal the killing blow". Thanks, I needed that reminder that the MC is a villain.

Let's hope this new relationship with Kei will give him a greater personality than a raw potato.

I completely forgot who Kanzaki was and had to look him up to jog my memory. Some of these characters just fade into the background.

@LemonMAL You forgot 6) She's genuinely fallen for him completely, like head over heels, and she gets jealous as well

You know, they say between loving and being loved you should choose the latter every time.

Ayanokoji be like "if I really have to get a gf better be one who loves me" since rn he can't really see himself being the one loving

Well good finale for season 3. Ayankouji as per usual is using people as a textbook and manipulating so he can get what he wants. Even said he hoped he was smiling but the look on his face proved that so far that white room really messed him up. Looking forward to the 4th season whenever it comes. So far this was probably my favorite season.

An okay end to an okay season tbh. There were so many episodes where nothing much happened and then bam the last scene or the last few scenes will save the episode.

Case in point episode 13, the season finale. Quite lacklustre if I say so myself. I know the main part of the story has ended up to that point and now you’re just killing time as you set up future events but show me a little something or someone. You have a great interesting incoming class of characters. Show me the hooligan Hosen, the firecracker Ichika Amasawa, the smoke demon that is Fuka Kiryuin or even that smug little bastard Takuya Yagami. But no, nothing! smh

Yet I have to admit it did melt my heart to see Kei so flustered that she couldn’t even speak in complete sentences anymore. You could see the moment she finally found complete and utter security as she relaxed into the 🐐’s arms. So damn cute and wholesome.

Honami is the best girl beyond a shadow of a doubt 🩷🩷🩷
She is shining all the season 🩷
I'm happy that final Honami scene has been animated, but they are ruined it.
It should have been an extremely intimate moment between them.
Koji was supposed to caress her hair and move her hand a little around her cheeks and then slide his fingers on her lips.
It's made to be intimate between them to comfort her out of her depression.

Hey I like that Ayano has been bonding with Hiyori over a common hobby... even if we haven't seen it until now. And after that, calling Kei just to make her jealous xD.

"I wouldn't mind being crushed by you" Really? lol

My best girl Ichinose being cute af and opening up to Ayano while he is thinking that if there would be a case that Ichinose is about to fall into ruin, he would deal the killing blow. This guy xD.

Yeah Matsushita looked like she was going to do something else after the final exam. I wonder if we'll really see more of her or will she just be a character we'll see here and there.

And finally the Ayanokoji x Kei ship sailed... kinda. I mean, the guy seems like he really wants to change but right now it's kind of sad for Kei seeing how happy and in love she is. She's just so cute, I hope for the best.

Well, that's it for this season and the first year of COTE. This show proves once again that it is really entertaining, the characters and their interactions are fun and interesting and the plot is engaging. But at the same time it feels like it could deliver so much more, there are so many characters for so little time and the show ends up focusing on just a few and just enough.

Anyway, for something I didn't think there was going to be more of after the first season, I had a lot of fun with these two seasons, it was great. Unlike before, I think a fourth season is quite possible so I'm looking forward to that announcement.
