English Dub Review: Plus-Sized Elf “Muffin Top Island”

Overview

Naoe, Elfuda, and the group change into swimsuits for the beach on a remote island…


Our Take

This time around, we get an obligatory beach episode as most lighthearted Anime and Manga stories often have. When Naoe and the gang head to a remote island for a much-needed beach day, they bring together familiar faces for sun, swimsuits, and summer shenanigans. With playful rivalries, comedic blunders, and moments of relaxation.

Even with its laid-back tone, the rest of the proceedings still finds room for some over-the-top moments and unexpected chaos that keep things entertaining throughout. Even with the modest animation quality, the episode plays to its strengths, such as clashing personalities, comedic timing, and a carefree vibe that makes it a memorable detour.

Overall, this was a fun and cheeky special that checks every box for a beach episode, offering a break from the usual tone while still staying true to the show’s spirit. While the animation quality dips a bit here, the humor and character dynamics keep it afloat. With just one episode left, it’ll be interesting to see how this season wraps things up.
