The Classroom of the Elite watch order covers four television seasons in the correct order, and this guide runs them straight through in sequence. Begin with Episodes 1-12, the first season that introduces the ruthless meritocracy of the Advanced Nurturing High School, then continue into the second season's 13 episodes, the third season's 13 episodes, and the fourth season's 16-episode run. Because the story is one continuous narrative with no movies or OVAs to insert, the chronological order and the release order are the same, so you simply watch each season in turn. This makes it easy to know where to start and how far the anime currently goes. Follow the four seasons back to back and you will have seen the complete adapted story so far, with no side entries to slot in and nothing that needs to be watched out of order.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
