Clone High (2023– )
6/10
Literally Grasping a Rope of Sand
28 June 2023
This show was good, but not great, and I don't think it lived up to the original. The positives are the show's animation looks great and is a good upgrade to the original in terms of technology and style. The voice cast overall was great, except Will Forte, who had this weird lisp thing going on. Also, the show brings back the alternative and emo music that helped make it a cult classic, but I wish they had used more of it. As for the negatives, the show is no longer a satire of teen dramas and tries to be more of a straightforward comedy, which works in the show's detriment, as the premise and characters are too ridiculous to be taken seriously in a standard comedy tv show. The show also introduced too many new characters, which led to it struggling with character management, pacing of character development, and the notable absence of side characters, who made the original show a lot funnier. Though I like most of the characters introduced, I disliked Topher in a bad way, and the character of Candide was completely unnecessary and honestly held the show back. Overall, I found some enjoyable moments, and I really liked the finale, but I am overall disappointed with this season.
