Majisuka Gakuen 4TYPE: school drama
GENRE: shojo idol
YEAR: 2015-Jan-19 to 2015-March-23
Summary:
Sakura, a new transfer student at Majisuka Gakuen tries to take over the top.
Critique:
The show is very much trimmed down to the most basics with a minimum of story and background story. Both could be told in a few sentences.
Only the top four characters get somewhat fleshed out character stories and display of character. Others have varying degrees of events. Unlike previous installments the random idols do get face time and dialogues.
The first half is monotone and full of cliches. The second half has more character highlights but they are not enough and too few to make up the shortcomings. The fights are better executed by these newcomers compared to MG1.
Overall it’s a disappointment.
Verdict: 5.7
cast: 6
cast performance: 7
script/directing: 4
