Clamp School Detectives...
A while ago, I picked up the VHS version of Clamp School Detectives...
I've always liked mystery shows. So, when Clamp School Detectives came along, I looked forward to seeing it. The first episode was mildly entertaining, but, somewhat disappointing. The pace was really slow, the characters were bland and uninteresting, and the story was weak. And the other episodes were even worse. Now, I wasn't expecting Sherlock Holmes, but, even Scooby Doo was much better than this. I gave Clamp School Detectives a 0 out of 5. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive.
