English Dub Review: Classroom of the Elite “What People Commonly call Fate is Mostly their Own Stupidity.”

Harvey Weinstein and the founders of both Screen Junkies and AICN! should be enthralled with this caper.

Overview (Spoilers Below)

Someone’s pulling some crazy shit at the campsite leaving the boys and girls to Class D have to separate. Turns out, there’s someone going around stealing girls underwear, burning manuals, and most importantly stealing Suzune’s key card. Eventually, Suzune figures out who took the card, Ibuki, but by the time she catches up with her new nemesis, the former card holder is too weak to really put up a fight and gets beaten up pretty bad. Turns out, Ibuki stole this card…as requested.

Our Take

This week’s episode helps set the table for a potential showdown in the show’s finale with what was pretty much a game of Clue just with way more babbling and infighting. The twist ending was fun, but I don’t know if any of these characters are really worth investing in as the majority of them are rather boring and cliche. The character designs suck, but I actually liked some of the directed scenes and the dark hue brought on by the bad weather as I felt it added another level of “what-the-fuckery” with everything going on.

SCORE
7/10
