I believe COTE is popular because of 3 things, 1> Ayanakoji The GOAT, 2> Waifu's and 3rd one is the mind games and psychological aspects of the show. IF you ask me the anime covers the cool moments pretty well and waifu's and psychological aspects not so well.
Certainly I am truely an excepton as being the only being who dont give F about how much content is being cut, why bother and give your useless hatered to the anime community!
If you want to witness the growth and the psychological aspects of the show properly I suggest you to read the Light novels, It's pretty simple isn't it?
Animation wise this season is very consistant compared to 2nd season. Art wise it's the same, season 1 animation and art remains the best till date.
Music is something I have observed that most of the people ignore about Cote which is just sad as the music in my opinion is just briliant, it captivate and enhances the scenes quit seemlessly.
Story is neglected what I mean is some scenes which could or should have made a lot of scenes much better for the viewers weren't there.
Like a garden stripped of its blossoms, this light novel suffers from the ruthless shearing of its narrative, leaving behind a tale deprived of its full bloom, a whisper of the captivating story it could have been.
I rated it based on my love towards the Light novels and of course Ayanokoji, If I have to rate objectively as how it should be rated based on the actual story of the anime I would have rated it around 6.5 stars.
As we bid farewell to this chapter of our journey, let us not lament the closing pages, but instead, embrace the anticipation that swirls within us like the promise of a new dawn. For just as the seasons ebb and flow, so too shall our story continue, beckoning us to linger in hope, awaiting the vibrant hues of the next season's tale. Hope is a good thing and so I hope for season 4 of Cote.
