How to add a class to just right added comment, not all of them

Hello, I need to add bootstrap effect fadeInDown to a newly added comment in my comments section. It works but unfortunately it affects all of the comments when I reload the page and the effect is also added when I edit a comment. Is it possible to add this specific class only to newly created comment? not affecting the rest of comments nor the other application functionalities? I will be glad for any advice.
These are the components I'm working on: Comment section HTML

<h6>Comments: ({{commentsCount}})</h6>
<app-new-comment class="d-block mt-3" [requestId]="requestId" (update)="updateComments()"> 
</app-new-comment>
<app-comment *ngFor="let comment of comments; let i = first"
         [ngClass]="{'fadeInDown': i}"
         class="d-block mt-3 animated"
         [comment]="comment"
         (update)="updateComments()"></app-comment>

Comment section TS

export class CommentSectionComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

@Input() requestId: string
comments: CommentDetailsDto[]
commentsCount = 0

private subscription: Subscription

constructor(
    private commentsService: CommentsService,
    private alert: AlertService
) {
}

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.updateComments()
}

ngOnDestroy(): void {
    this.unsubscribe()
}

updateComments(): void {
    this.unsubscribe()
    this.subscription = this.commentsService.getComments(this.requestId)
        .subscribe({
            next: (comments: CommentDetailsDto[]) => {
                this.comments = comments.reverse()
                this.commentsCount = this.getCommentsCount(comments)
            },
            error: (error: HttpErrorResponse) => {
                this.alert.handleHttpError(error)
            }
        })
}

private getCommentsCount(comments: CommentDetailsDto[]): number {
    return comments.reduce(
        (cnt, comment) => cnt + 1 + (comment.replies ? this.getCommentsCount(comment.replies) : 0),
        0
    )
}

private unsubscribe(): void {
    if (this.subscription instanceof Subscription) {
        this.subscription.unsubscribe()
    }
}

}

Comment section SCSS

@keyframes fadeInDown {
from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translate3d(0, -100%, 0);
}
to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

.fadeInDown {
    animation-name: fadeInDown;
}
