Synopsis

The beginning of Light Magic and the Hero, an otome RPG, unfolds fairly normally: the heroine, Alicia Ehnleit, meets her three love interests one after another and then inevitably comes face-to-face with the villainess. Yumiella Dolkness may be of noble descent, but her dark hair and rare dark-type magic—both associated with the Demon Lord—spark fear in anyone who sees her. When she is five years old, Yumiella regains memories of her previous life in modern Japan, also realizing that her fate is to become the hidden boss that appears after Alicia and her suitors defeat the Demon Lord.

Yumiella refuses to live as the game dictates and, as she prefers the game's fantasy elements over its romance, she decides to cultivate her magical skills and level up in secret. However, everything falls apart on the day of the Royal Academy's entrance ceremony. Yumiella's powers are measured at level 99—something thought impossible even for the royal knights, let alone a 15-year-old girl. With the royal family requesting her help, and everyone else insisting that she prove her strength, Yumiella realizes that her dream of a quiet life is no longer an option.

I was hooked. This anime was well-executed in my opinion.

Unsure why there are so many complaints as it was an enjoyable anime. There were parts where I actually giggled, it was well done despite being a little predictable.

Would have loved to see more romance in it but obviously the MC will always be the oblivious one who is a little different to everyone else and sees things differently.

The ending felt a little bit rushed though.

Overall an enjoyable anime, if you want to see a deep plot then you might want to look somewhere else. I would still recommend this if you enjoy isekai ...

Mixed Feelings
Despite the relatively strong opening episode, Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 fundamentally fails in every meaningful way besides humor. The MC's relatively unique personality (at least for a villainess series) excepted, absolutely nothing about this show stands out or differentiates it from the utterly exhausted story beats and tropes of the genre. Characters are dull, boilerplate, and inconsistent to the point of nonsensicality; the plot is so cliché and unimaginative that you can probably predict half of the story from the title alone; and the animation is aggressively terrible with CGI so abysmally ugly that I genuinely had to double-check that this was a 2024 release. ...

Long paragraph incoming (sorry, not sorry):

One of the worst letdowns that I had in a while, which made me surprised how fast I could switch from kinda liking the vibe of the anime and the story, to instantly realise that this was trash, the worst kind. I like some good thrash, but not when they are thrashing the source material's story in such an obvious way that even if I didn't read the source material or know anything about it, I understood instantly that something is wrong. It was pretty good the first half of the season, basic story, not that deep, pretty chill, kinda ...
