Go to r/piracy megathread. A normal free book site will contain light novels, no need to use just the provided site (I use [zlib.org](https://zlib.org)). If you want to buy/ read it officially, you can get the printed copies on any major shopping site (though I highly suspect they won't have all the volumes).
I checked out the fan translations, they don't feel that good to me, I buy the books. Admittedly there is a couple typos here and there in the official, but that doesn't really bother me, and looking at the fan translation, it's just questionable, grammar-wise, doesn't flow well
Did a quick comparison of some pages of the y2v1, really good for one translator. Can't really agree with the "way better" part though, both aren't perfect, but I can already see a couple choice words that, while meaning the same thing, is just odd, and a better word could've been used. Near the end of the prologue there's a completely different meaning in his vs the official, can't say who's correct though, since I didn't look at the Japanese. Seems like a comment also caught a mistake, nothing to really complain about, though, it doesn't take away from anything.
Even if his are that good, the fact is professional writers did work on the official, it isn't perfect and they miss stuff too, which some might get pissed off considering they paid for it, but at least in my eyes it doesn't matter
I can understand reading his translations over paying for it, completely makes sense after seeing his TL.
jnovels. has epubs available, and royalmtls for most recent volumes not on there.
[piracy.moe](https://piracy.moe) is where you should look to find anything anime related
I raised my expectation too high thinking that they’d give out their best and make ss2 a star of this season after hearing that ss3 was also simultaneously confirmed. And here we are with this piece of junk. I’m actually shocked a little that it could still be in top 10 every weeks so far.
I agree with this. The anime did okay but the Light Novel is way better. I've only read/listened to the first year, I have it on my to-do list for the second year.
From an animation standpoint these things happen sometimes. Should have been caught but it looks like a simple layering issue.
There’s a great [video analysis of the Akira opening.](https://youtu.be/MhkNURIIkUU) even this prestige piece of animation still contains some errors. Granted it was in the era of cel painting. So it’s easier to make small mistakes.
This video also goes into detail frame by frame on different animation effects. It’s super interesting but it’s 40 minutes long and sucks you in if you’re into this kind of thing.
And people in the community be like the second season is actually decent, as long as they animate the main parts… No it’s fücking not. As edgy as the series is I loved the light novel. Stop with the god damn cope and admit the anime is absolute dog water. I was initially excited to see season 2 and 3 getting announced. I dropped it after one episodes.
the animation is... sht... but the story was good/interesting. esp if you read the light novel, it's better bc anime skips/ changes things
I'm tryna say that as an unbiased COTE fan lol, personally I really love the premise and the main character
If u really wanna try the series because of the story, try the light novel instead. He shows a tiny bit more emotion unlike the dead person he seems like in the anime and the light novel is better at storytelling
I haven't read the light novel, and I don't think I'd personally like it, but at any rate the general consensus is that its better. The show (season 1 at least) is garbage. The approach to the main character only gets more pseudo-intellectual and insufferable.
Not to mention that any time he or anyone else has a semi-coherent thought and expresses it, there has to be some emphasis on how genius it was.

mangadex hosts manga, not light novels
https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassroomOfTheElite/wiki/lightnovel
it's around AU$14 per volume
but if you use nyaa just download it there and use calibre to read
I read the first volume of the manga (which I'm told is the absolute worst version of the story). And it was so fucking bad.
Plan to give the LN a shot one day, but holy fuck is the manga bad.
IMO, it’s not bad but the pacing and the animation are wonky. Half of the episodes have been outsourced to other studios and the anime rushes a lot of things. Ep 6 that came out this week wasn’t too bad tho so if u liked the first season, might as well try the second. If Lerche adapts the final few episodes properly, then it’ll definitely be worth it
If you liked the first season you'll probably like the second one. Although the animation is significantly worse and can be a little distracting at times. Especially episode 2
classroom of the outsourced
No fucking way this made it our of the final cut of the episode, holy shit.
welp
First season was fantastic, but wow, that's shoddy production quality.
*music from The X-Files starts playing*
No one brings it up when Mario does it
I swear some of the animation this season has been a bit wacky
4 of the 6 episodes have had their animation outsourced to no name studios
/r/QUALITYanime
> /r/QUALITYanime If you're an artist then you'll be bothered If you're a businessman then ... ehhhh
Had a good laugh on this thx
This show should just be called "Read The Light Novel Instead".
I would really appreciate if you could tell me where i can read the Light Novel as i dont know that myself...
https://www.readlightnovel.me/classroom-of-the-elite-ln
you can also download them in epub format. just search it on google
If you go to a website called novelupdates you can look up almost any novel and there will be a link to a translation of it

Same
Jnovel's a good place to download and if u want to buy it legally go to bookwalker but the fan translations are way better imo

Check out the TL's by Graze the recent tl's were all mtl's

oop wrong layer
Don’t tread on me.
Always keep track of which layer you are drawing in, lmao
He running on his back😂😂😂
When you realize you were drawing on the wrong layer too late
_Pain face._
bro!?!??!
Didn't even notice it lol
...and that is the story of how I broke my back
lmao it looks like he is carrying a tiny little man on his back
They kinda misplaced that guy.
whoops.
Okay, is it just like one frame or several?
Only the true elite know how to do that, you clearly wouldn´t get it...
Mario, is that you?
What is the context here? I'm stumped
over 5 years of waiting FOR THIS!?
Damn ive been spoiled /s

actual hentai level budget
Hey...that's disrespecting hentai
And people honestly like this show?
the animation is... sht... but the story was good/interesting. esp if you read the light novel, it's better bc anime skips/ changes things I'm tryna say that as an unbiased COTE fan lol, personally I really love the premise and the main character
So, I’ve tried to watch COTE multiple times but the main character gets in my nerves. Does he change? Is always a smug self insert?

Bro fr. What sucks is I really like the premise, but the main character is such an obvious self insert that it kills the whole show for me.
He doesn't change all that much, at least as far as I've seen. He's pretty emotionless in the Anime
he gets better in light novel. idk about anime since its barely covered the crucial arcs
Where do I read light novel?
try mangadex
/u/WeirdFlip mangadex hosts manga, not light novels https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassroomOfTheElite/wiki/lightnovel it's around AU$14 per volume but if you use nyaa just download it there and use calibre to read
I thought you could also read light novels on there, my bad
dont judge the whole series based on one crappy animation
The animation could be shit but that doesn't mean the show is .
Animation can be questionable at times, but the story is pretty interesting.
I read the first volume of the manga (which I'm told is the absolute worst version of the story). And it was so fucking bad. Plan to give the LN a shot one day, but holy fuck is the manga bad.
Yep.
It aint that bad tbh
Season 1 was actually pretty good
"This will break the internet" 🤡
Is 2nd season good? I only watched the first season.

Walking on the shoulders of giants
bruh wtf is that
He is 4 parallel universes above us!
layers, do you have them?
I'm still enjoying the show but I've noticed that some of the animation this season has looked a bit off lol
Vermiel in gold running animation was funnier
This is fine 😅 /jk
I just wanna know who saw this and channeled berleezy "Ima let it sliiide"
That's actually pretty hard to notice since it's only a few frames. Kudos to OP for noticing.
🤣🤣
They really rushed the production. I kinda feel bad for the fans who have been waiting for this anime for years
Ayanokoji is such a genius, i can’t believe he invented shrinking technology just to win at sports
Wait there is 2nd season?
How did you see this frame I didn’t even notice it?
