Synopsis

Aileen Lauren Dautriche's life changes forever on the day her engagement with the crown prince Cedric Jeanne Elmir is nullified so he can be together with Lilia Rainworth. The event triggers Aileen's memories from her past life—she has been reincarnated in an otome game as the villainess, who is destined to die in the final act. To prevent her predetermined demise, Aileen has only one option: to court the game's last boss, Claude Jeanne Elmir—the proclaimed "Demon King" and Cedric's half-brother—and marry him.

However, it is easier said than done, as Claude distrusts her intentions. Instead of giving up, Aileen adamantly tries to win his heart by helping Claude fulfill his wish: to build peace between humankind and demonic beasts. But time is running out, and it is up to Aileen to change the course of not only her tragic ending but Claude's as well.

I think you're enjoyment of this will depend on how much you like the 'villianess' subgenre. Personally I like the strong female protagonists and the humour combined with the rather chill plots. For what it's worth, this has all of those things in spades along with a rather surprisingly adorable love story.

Pros
- The dub is excellent. Truely one of my favourites.
- The characters are funny, loveable and superb. They remain consistant in their motivations and make the show.
- The art style is pretty, and doesn't have too many of the romantic flourishes I tend to find frustrating.
- This show is seriously funny.
- Unimportant duck.

Mixed Feelings

"Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita" is a 2022 Issekai romance from Maho Film.
The plot is quite simple: the protagonist, as a classic Issekai scenario is supposed to be, finds herself in the world of a video game, where she finds herself in the role of a villain whose destiny is death. The task is clear: to change the plot of the game by defeating the final boss...with her love. Romance, though.

The series itself is divided into three arcs, in each of which the story changes, the characters remain the same (except that new ones appear). In my opinion, the first and ...

Not Recommended

Akuyaku Reijou is an anime that I can only really recommend as background noise. The isekai and reincarnation genres have always been a refuge for shows with wasted potential, but even if lost potential is unavoidable, Akuyaku Reijou is utterly self sabotaging. However, I did give this show a 4 not a 0, so I'm inclined to point out a few of its redeeming qualities before I disparage it.

Pros:

It can be fun, I'd say somewhere half way through the show I would confidently state that I was enjoying myself watching the show, certainly keep your brain off while watching, but once your brain ... is off it can be mildly entertaining.

It's not a slow burn at all, the main character and her pet (the demon lord) are openly head over heels for one another by like the third episode. So if you hate the will-they-won't-they-tropes that plague a lot of the romance genre, maybe you'd prefer this. I personally think they shot themselves in the foot having the two main characters get together so quickly, but I can see it appealing to a few people.

The comedic beats do land sometimes, not always mind you, but often enough to give the show an upbeat feeling so good enough.

Cons:

The pacing is terrible. The show should have absolutely ended at episode 4, it is as if they crammed all their main ideas for the concept into the first 4 episodes, then realised they still had 8 episodes left to fill. Instead of going back and trying to give more depth and flesh out what could be considered the core of the story, they instead just tacked on 8 episodes worth of nonsense. It's the writing equivalent of being sold a bag of flour by the pound, opening it and finding two-thirds of it is rocks. It isn't "I'm the villainess so I'm taming the final boss", it is "I tamed the final boss in 4 episodes, now watch me go on side quests for three hours."

The depth of this show is lesser than the depth of my carpet. No character development whatsoever, the only exception I can maybe think of is Keith; the demon lord's right hand man, and Levi but they are both side characters and their arcs only last 1 episode. Otherwise if there is "development" it isn't really development, it is just a random and inexplicable shift in a character's attitude, see-> the demon lord during the third arc, or prince Cedric in the final episode. The character with the most interesting concept was probably Lillia, and her motivations absolutely deserved exploration, but no, nothing. Don't expect anything in the realm of high quality writing, you will inevitably be disappointed.

It doesn't make sense. I don't think this warrants an explanation, I just thought I would leave this here, if you even pay a modicum of attention to the screen you'll probably become extremely confused and frustrated.

There's way too many characters. Maybe this explains why the show couldn't be bothered to develop any of them, but my god why are there so many of them. Although preferably they wouldn't constantly introduce new characters, the issue is only further exacerbated by the show's refusal to drop them from the screen after they are no longer relevant to the current arc. Furthermore the characters aren't even eye-catching, the designs are all bland, and you couldn't even consider them to be gimmicky, they all have cardboard personalities with few exceptions.

Almond. Fuck his inclusion in the final two episodes, he alone dropped my rating by a point.

Let's wrap this up.

You should watch this show if you have an infatuation with the isekai/otome game genre and a thing for lord claude.

You should not watch this show if you don't belong to the former group.
