Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo

The kind and compassionate heroine of an otome game may be as flawless as she is admirable, but a certain young woman from Japan much prefers the villainess, Alicia Williams. She sees sense in Alicia's ruthless verbal abuse and values her discipline and fortitude. On the other hand, aside from always toying with Prince Duke Seeker's emotions, the commoner heroine seems to only spout lip service.

Given the choice, the young woman would love to be reincarnated as Alicia—and her wish suddenly comes true! Seven-year-old Alicia awakens with the memories of her past life, now aware of all the future events, outcomes, and the world's secrets. She has no fear; to outsmart the heroine and avoid a bad ending, all Alicia needs is hard work, mastery of her noble family's dark magic, and the determination to become the greatest villainess in history.

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

I don't get why this anime has a low rating when it good anime to watch for people who are new to the anime world. I am completely honest; this anime deserves more than it deserves credit for. When I was watching all those episodes, I felt that there was no pause between each scenario with the main character, and I am glad that there was none of that, which made me happy to watch to end with no complaints at all. When I was watching each of them, I was hooked by what the main character would do next, and by the time ... I kept watching the anime, I lost track of time because of how good each episode was, and I want more to come.

Story 9/10: Most of the story is good; there are a lot of funny moments, which I enjoy.
Art 7/10 The art could be better, but it's still good.
Sound 10/10 I felt like there was no awkward moment when tracks felt like bad to put in and everything just connected to anime.
Character 6/10 Most of the characters lack the development of the story, but it is still good regardless of it. I will say that the main character does not have it, which is good.
Enjoyment 9/10 I really did enjoy each episode, and it felt amazing that when I looked at me watching episode 2, I was at the end of the ending of the song, which made me wow.

8/10 I would recommend it. It really pains me to say that I hate when anime has a low rating, but it's really good anime that you should watch, and I will say it's worth watching instead of Oshi No Ko.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

Title: Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo (I’ll Become the Villainess Who Leaves Her Mark on History)
Genre: Isekai, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy
Studio: Silver Link
Episodes: 12
Aired: Fall 2024

I’ll admit it—I’ve somehow found myself hooked on another one of those guilty pleasure girly animes. While "Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo" doesn’t break new ground, it has that familiar charm that makes it hard to resist.

The Setup:
The premise is as classic as it gets: our MC, a girl, finds herself reincarnated into her favorite dating sim game, but instead of playing the heroine, she’s in the shoes of the villainess—the character she always felt sympathy for. ... Determined to live out her new role, she tries her best to play the villainess part, but naturally, her kind-hearted nature ends up winning people over instead. Her intentions to cause chaos? Constantly foiled by her good deeds.

Art and Characters:
The art style is simple—nothing too flashy or standout, but it works well enough for the genre. The characters, unsurprisingly, fall into the usual archetypes you’d expect in this type of story: the charming prince, the scheming rival, and the cute sidekicks. While none stand out or push boundaries, they play their roles well enough. The focus is mainly on the MC, and though I wouldn’t expect much character development beyond her, there’s something oddly comforting in knowing exactly what you’re getting.

Why Watch It?
Despite being predictable and packed with cliches, there’s a certain charm in its simplicity. It doesn’t pretend to be anything groundbreaking. Sometimes, that’s precisely what you need—a feel-good, straightforward story where you can kick back, relax, and know exactly what’s coming next. Even though I can predict every twist and turn, I look forward to the next episode every time.

Final Thoughts:
"Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo" isn’t the kind of anime that blows your mind or changes the game. Still, if you’re into light-hearted isekai romances with a familiar formula, it’s a fun, easy watch. It’s got that feel-good vibe that makes it a solid option for when you want something predictable but still charming enough to keep you coming back. Sometimes, having a little guilty pleasure anime in the lineup is nice!

Preliminary (6/13 eps)

Bad.

The anime's proposal is no longer very innovative, at least it should do a solid job with the proposal presented, however everything is executed in the most boring way in the world, the universe is not captivating and no character has charisma, it is cloying how superficial and artificial everything is.

The protagonist should have some charisma, some relevant personality trait, but she also fits as a secondary character, since she does not have any deep development.

The "romance" is the worst thing I've ever seen, the romance scenes are totally unnecessary and add absolutely nothing to the plot, except to disgust the viewers.

The "heroine" is another ... character without salt and no development, with the charisma of a Renault Kwid.

Everything in this universe is bad, generic and poorly used, just an anime to try to make some money, stay away.
