Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
alimac2 Characters are different, with weird and offputting personalities. Animation is sub par. Storylines are watchable though, even if they can be repetitive.if you want wayside, read the books.
invisibleunicornninja This show is really lazy with its animation and humor. Most of the jokes are poorly executed slapstick or gross-out humor. The only thing that this has that the books had is a school that's 30 stories high and the same names as the characters in the book. Nothing else that was in the book is in here, which is a shame because those books were really well written. There isn't really any reason why you would watch this show, except maybe if you like jokes about various bodily fluids.
Vanilluxe On its own, Wayside is just okay. It's a cartoon with harmless storytelling that can occasionally crack a joke here and there, but ultimately there are far better cartoons you can seek out. The biggest offense Wayside has is its relation to the books it's based off of, which is pretty much... in name only. If you changed the environment and names of the characters, you'd probably be able to market this thing as its own original work. Only one book chapter makes a cartoon episode, "Mrs. Gorf," while the rest are all original stories. If you are looking for a means to relive Louis Sachar's novels... forget about it, because this show is hardly like them. If you're a die-hard Wayside School fan, then maybe throw this on as a time-waster and get a taste of this show. However, if you get caught up in all the little, mostly unnecessary changes, don't say I didn't warn you. I think what this show is missing most is the characters. The novels were heavily character-driven, to the point where the first book had each chapter named after a character. In the show, most characters are reduced to one trait, while others like Myron can become grating rather quickly. It's just... "meh." Unless you really want all the Wayside School you can handle, you can probably just stick to the books and give this show a skip.
