ELF Academy (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, ELF Academy is an animation and comedy series.

What it’s about. The Equipment: Living Forms, or ELFs, were created over fifty thousand years ago to assist humankind in their combat against the Honkai—the decay. With the project's success, the ELFs soon became sentient, compelling humanity to treat them as near-equals. However, when the Ninth Herrscher laid waste to the planet, almost all traces of ELFs vanished into the Sea of Quanta's endless abyss. Yet, there seems to be a bubble universe where the ELFs' fate has taken a brighter turn. Here, they live peacefully among humans and attend a specialized institution, ELF Academy, where they study as if they were human beings themselves. From Selune's Elegy's chuunibyou tendencies to Blood Embrace's "gangster" shenanigans, the peaceful environment of the academy is guaranteed to provide relief from the depressing state of the main universe.

Who’s in it. ELF Academy stars Yuanyuan Song as 仿犹大 (voice), Na Jin as 晓月镇魂歌 (voice), Ke Zhong as 赤鸢之翼 (voice) and Mingya Du as 苍玄之书 (voice), among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.5/10, ELF Academy sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
