English Dub Review: Plus-Sized Elf “Calorie Lovers”

Overview

Who will end up marrying Naoe under the legendary tree?

Our Take

For the season finale, it takes a lighthearted detour, tossing the characters into an outrageous high school setting filled with playful chaos, exaggerated charm, and over-the-top antics. By leaning hard into comedy and parody, it offers a wildly different tone from the main series. Each character gets a chance to shine in this dreamlike scenario, embracing classic harem and romantic-comedy tropes.

Visual gags and cheeky humor dominate as familiar faces take on exaggerated roles, shifting from flirtatious misunderstandings to sudden, bizarre twists that push the absurdity even further. The episode doesn’t hold back on fanservice, all while poking fun at genre clichés and blending unexpected elements for comedic effect.

Overall, this bonus episode is a messy, chaotic, and oddly charming send-off that doesn’t take itself seriously and makes no attempt to advance the main story. Instead, it leans fully into parody, fan service, and broad comedy, placing familiar characters in a delightfully absurd, non-canonical scenario. While it won’t change anyone’s opinion of the series, it delivers just enough laughs, clever references, and character moments to entertain fans of the manga and maybe even spark hope for a second season.
