Classroom of the Elite

 

Hey guys, welcome to my third blog. In this blog, we will talk about the next three episodes of the Anime in terms of the course.

Given the lack of time for an Anime, it tried to cover the Novel as much as possible. I would like to say that these three episodes(4th,5th, and 6th) were very loyal to the Novel compared to the first three episodes. I say this based on the following events:

  • Small facts like the fight between Sudou and three class C students that took place in the Special Building.
  • The whole scene where Ayanokouji helps Ichinose with the confession she received was exactly the same as described in the Light Novel.
  • The scenario where Ayanokouji, Kushida, and Sakura goes to a mall for camera repair and the events that occur there was precisely the same as in the Novel.
The POV of the Novel is neither Omniscient nor Omnipresent as the main character himself talks in the first person whereas, in Anime, we can say that the camera is Omnipresent because it shows us scenes where the main character is not present(ability to be in several places and time zones simultaneously).

Talking about Focalization, It is very clear that both Anime and the Novel(not just these episodes but the entire series) have used internal(told through the perspective of characters), Anime and the Novel, describes only the thoughts of the main characters and no one else. 

 I found out very few differences in this 2nd Volume. Here are some minor differences I found out:

  • The Anime revealed that Sudou’s case was all along Ryuen’s (Class C student) plan to sabotage Class D which was not the case in the Light Novel.
  • In the Anime, they showed that Sakura’s camera had slipped out and broken when Kushida was trying to stop Sakura, but in the Novel, it was described as Sakura’s camera tumbled on the floor and cracked when she bumped into Hondou (who was nowhere to be seen in the Anime)
  • The Special building investigation was shown to happen after the hearing of Sudou’s case, but in the Light Novel, it was before the hearing.
That's it for this blog. Let's meet at the next one.

  Hey guys. I welcome you all to the second Blog of my assignment. Here I am going to discuss intertextuality and Anime's aesthetics. Intertextuality - Adaptation with multiple source texts. Every episode starts with a quote that was taken from other sources as these quotes are nowhere to be seen in the Light Novel. For example, The first aesthetic we are going to talk about in the adaptation n is the Anime's visuals, to tell you, in short, Marvellous. The Anime was released in 2017, were in the Anime Industry has grown very much compared to the one released in 2000. Coming to the audio, I just love the opening and closing songs of this Anime, and I never miss them, which was not the case with other Animes I have watched. Some special effects such as: Camera angles while closing the door and opening the bag zip.     The non-diegetic sound of a bell at the start of every episode. The intense background music when there is a turning point or some interesting fact is revealed. All

Overlord- Openings, Endings and Intermediality

In this fourth blog, I shall be focusing on what makes anime, anime! Many of them know them by the name of OPs and EDs or Openings and Endings. These are some of the elements which other media don't have, and as an anime enthusiast, I am proud and happy to talk about these that are made with special care and consideration and are the major constituents of beauty in this art form. The visuals, paintings and cuts along with the music or song make great sense and give the viewers an epiphany if they observe well. And to all those anime watchers who complain that openings and endings spoil the series, my answer is 'Silence, lower lifeforms! You do not qualify to speak!' "...just bow your heads and wait for the end, full of gratitude." Please don't take this personally; this is just a reference from  Overlord.  Nevertheless, I shall say that you are missing out on what anime has to offer to the community. The Opening of Season one can be regarded as equivalent to t

Violet Evergarden (Part 1)

  Hey guys, this week I will be covering the anime adaptation of the light novel called Violet Evergarden. The movie is also called Violet Evergarden. It is a story about an ex-female soldier who takes up the job of an Auto Memory Doll at a Writer's agency The anime has 13 episodes in total whereas the light novel contains 6 chapters. For this post I will be covering 4 episodes from the anime and 2 chapters of the light novel. If we judge the adaptation based in fidelity from the light novel, then the adaptation is not so loyal to the novel. The anime shows the life of Violet Evergarden  in the order of succession. This shows the rise of Violet into a well reputed Auto Memory Doll. Whereas the novel starts in the middle, go back to the beginning and then go to the end. This sets a mystery towards the protagonist as her story is not completely clear until one point. This puts up an anachrony. The focalization in the anime is variable because Violet Evergarden's perspectives are
