Dragon Ballhas been a mainstay of the anime industry for many years, leaving a legacy that crosses multiple generations. Yet, despite its huge success, fans ofDragon Ball Superhave been left behind waiting years and years for the anime to return. Meanwhile, another less impactful and poorly adapted series,Classroom of the Elite, recently announced a fourth season, much to the dismay of many anime fans.
WhileClassroom of the Elitemay have a loyal fanbase, its anime adaptation has been widely criticized for several reasons. On the other hand,Dragon Ball Supermanga has just broken its long hiatus and is expected to return soon, but there is no clear indication of the anime following suit. This disparity has led fans to point out that the anime industry prioritizes profit over quality.
The Return ofClassroom of the Elite
Based on the popular light novel series written byShōgo Kinugasa,Classroom of the Elitefirst premiered in 2017. While the series is compelling for its engaging plot and characters, the readers of the light novel pointed out that the anime adaptation has been done very poorly, to the point that it ruined the essence of its source material.
Season 1 was met with mixed reviews, with fans criticizing the rushed pacing, lack of character development, and subpar animation. Even though the story itself had potential, the anime adaptation failed to do justice to the subtleties of the light novel. The second season, which debuted in 2022, was meant to fix these problems but actually made them worse.

The complaints persisted throughout the seasons ofClassroom of the Elite, and the recent announcement of the fourth season has left many fans scratching their heads. How does an anime with such apoor track recordcontinue to get season after season?

They should’ve let this die after the 3rd season. Having year 1 awfully adapted was ENOUGH
The only good part of the anime is that season one got me into the light novels. Thats about it…
If it was gonna get this many seasons anyways they should’ve just made a good adaptation. It’s not the worst I’ve seen but god anyone reading the LNs would just get annoyed while watching some episodes.
real ones know the adaptation of year 1 is rushed and left out many detailsnot to mention how they could have utilized the advantage of anime to elevate the scenes even more
Despite its flaws,Classroom of the Elitehas managed to maintain a dedicated fanbase, especially among light novel readers who are invested in the story. But the vast majority of anime-only fans feel alienated by the poor adaptation.
The Long, Frustrating Hiatus ofDragon Ball Super
In contrast to the continued returns ofClassroom of the Elite,Dragon Ball Superhas been on an extended hiatus since its anime halted in 2018. While there are rumors ofthe manga’s comeback, the anime has been on an indefinite hiatus, with no official word on when it might return.
The prolonged silence has led to speculation that Toei Animation, the studio behindDragon Ball Super, may have shifted its focus to other projects, leaving one of its most successful franchises on the back burner. This is a particularly bitter pill to swallow when shows likeClassroom of the Elitecontinue to receive new seasons despite their much lower impact in the anime world.
Fans ofDragon Ball Superare clearly frustrated, with many believing that the anime industry is not giving enough priority to its biggest hits. Frustration grows the longer fans wait forDragon Ball Superto return, particularly when many other, less popular shows are constantly given the go-ahead.

Until the dayDragon Ball Superreturns, fans will continue to voice their frustration, and the controversies surrounding series likeClassroom of the Elitewill persist. But one thing is clear: the anime industry needs to do better by its fans, ensuring that the series they love aren’t left to decay while less deserving series continue to flourish.
