At first I though this is gonna be a copy of "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" where a normal girl gets iseka'd and all she does is try to remove the doom flags but I am glad that this anime proved me wrong. This anime is not typical at all and the first episode was amazing.. not to mention the the Opening and ending songs are great and have such a vibe that I can't stop listening to them...
the plot of the story is good and doesn't seem boring at all. it is likable 8/10
as for the characters?

A fantastic comedy in which you can't help but admire Aileen, the main heroine, and one who was reborn into the world of an otome game as the villain. Does this sound familiar? The show resembles Hamefura in some ways.
The show's premise is as follows: Aileen is dumped by Cedric. Aileen makes Claude fall in love with her in order to avoid the fate of the character she was reborn as. Claude falls in love with Aileen, and the two live happily ever after.... or so that should have been the case. Aileen tries everything in her power to avoid doom flags and her fate ... Dec 10, 2022
The villainess trope is something we’ve seen a couple of times now as it has slowly become more popular. I myself was questioning if this could follow up on the success of something like My Next Life as a Villainess. I must say, I think it kind of did as this was an enjoyable ride to sit through, but by all means, it isn’t perfect and can be a little bit goofy at times. I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss is a fun watch for those interested in it, but it can definitely have been improved upon.

'Taming the Final Boss' is a mildly enjoyable diversion at best: it's an uninspired romantic comedy in an uninspired fantasy setting with a convoluted premise, a badly rushed plot, and lackluster romance and comedy. Though the setup is superficially similar to this year's excellent 'Trapped in a Dating Sim', what develops is much less impressive: like a winning chess position, except every piece is slightly misplaced.
The pacing is a disaster: the season is crammed with standalone arcs, each of which is rushed, all of which together leave little time for characters and relationships to develop. Nine episodes in, the show is still introducing entire factions ... Oct 31, 2022
The first few episodes immediately hook you, suggesting a fun and light hearted series of a girl who decides to court the demon lord to avoid dying in an otome game. Aileen is endearing and crafty. Claude, despite being the demon lord, is surprisingly soft and affectionate. How Aileen decides to avert her own doom, sometimes through ridiculously concocted plans, is hilarious. The song for the ending credits goes hard.
Only, the pacing is entirely off. Somehow, the series feels like it's planning to adapt 8 volumes in a short anime. Supposedly emotional movements are introduced and discarded within the minute. Most episodes after the ... Oct 15, 2022
The first thing I would like to start this review off with, is that I do hope that more series of this nature comes out. While isekais are done to death, I do believe we should get more and more Villainess animes in the future.
Story and characters: 6 If you know Bakarina, then you of course would know a bit of the story here. Girl gets isekai'd into an Otome game, where she is the Villainess, and now has to find ways to escape her fate of dying by game end. Though, what I do like about this one compared to the other, is that she's ... Aug 31, 2023
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 ... Jun 15, 2023
"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 ... Dec 10, 2022
‘What is the definition of insanity? It is doing the exact thing again and again and expecting things to change’
This, the whole “make every episode set up an event that makes the main couple feel like they were destined to be together or else the universe would explode is a bit too greasy for me” In all honesty, this show Is enjoyable to a certain degree, the first 5 are great, but then it keeps trying to repeat the same things repeatedly.you or the main couple cant seem to catch a break xD. Story :- 6/10 The plot design is shojo Esque, it follows those correctly, but tries ... Dec 10, 2022
HameFura (you know, the one with the lovable dense blonde MC Bakarina Claes), MobSeku (you know, the one with the shitty MC Leon Fou Bartfort), and finally the 3rd entry in the now Isekai space that is the Otome Game sub-genre: Akuyaku Last Boss (or AkuLas for short feat. yet another blonde MC). Damn, looks like Isekai has a new winning formula that's only starting to pick up right now, but only getting more predictable as time passes.
Out of the Otome Game adaptations we've had so far, I really have to concede the fact that HameFura is the overall better handled show that we have ... Jan 30, 2023
Frustrating. I am sure there is a good story (four stories?) buried in here. I think the main character is interesting and well acted of course. I think this could have been great... if they had only slowed down for a minute!
Side characters are introduced and disappear and pop up again. Wait, that guy was, what, an architect? Or something. Those guys hanging around with nothing to do except dress up nicely were... what again? I am sure I've seen them before. Wait, that girl was at a fancy school for the elite and now she's a chambermaid (what would her parents think)? Frustrating. That guy ... Jan 13, 2023
I adored everything about this show and most definitely the MC. Naturally, I binged it in one night :-)
The MC not only defies the game and its storyline, but she does it without hesitation and the plague of most female MC's in anime; the constant, frustrating and enraging bouts of self-doubt, pity and insecurity. A completely unique heroine/villainess in Aileen and I hope we see more 'rom-coms' and animes in general that showcase smart decisive MCs just like her. Although I wished she would have appreciated and threw some of it back at him regarding the straightforward way Claude interacted with her when expressing his ... Mar 3, 2023
This definitely sits next to HameFura, but I personally enjoyed this more because it really satisfies the romance, comedy, and adventure aspect. Covered all angles. It also kept me on my toes towards the end, without teasing for too long (which some shows have too much of - it just becomes annoying; this one was just right). I loved all characters including the fact that they had unique personalities + qualities, and I loved how I HATED the characters I was meant to dislike ... lol! For 12 episodes, the anime really covered all that it could, and all aspects it could. It was so

At first sight the show seemed interesting so giving it a chance was a good decision, now I absolutely love it. Animes with an isekai twist where the MC gets isekai'd into the villainess/villain of the game and tries to prevent the bad stuff from happening is just what seems to work sometimes if done right. The story wasn't as predictable as most isekai stories are.
The way the characters are written and played go very well with this overarching story, although there is a few arcs contained within the series, or at least that's the way it is going. 7 out of 12 episodes ... Apr 14, 2023
Terrible everything? I genuinely don't understand how this got approved, watched and liked.
The story is straight forward enough, for two seconds, and then there's a billion new characters without proper introductory arcs, so I cant even understand what their relationships and motivations are or even role within the story is, wacky out of place magic, overpowered lord demon, a heroine that doesn't care about pacing because she will do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, even if it means throwing all the sense out of the story out the window. To further elaborate without boring you to death, the pacing is absolute garbage, it's like hodge ... Sep 6, 2024
It is one of the best anime I have seen. I love this anime. The part which attracted me the most was the strong female protagonist who can handle things on her own. The female character is my favourite character of all time. She is strong, smart and very determined rather than the other weak girls in other anime who cries for help and wait for the hero to come and save them. The female protagonist shows that women can be strong and smart as well as feminine too. For this reason the anime become more interesting to me. The story line is also good

Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita it's just another isekai villaness anime.
Just another doomed vilaness trying to escape her fate. Well if you like strong characters you'll probably gonna like Laureen, she's fierce, and very decided, but of course she has a week side too, she's human after all. The animation it's not bad, the characters have some kind of development. Even though I enjoyed, I must say a few things. The anime it's kinda rushed, it's just too much information and events to fit in just 12 episodes. Everything escalates so quickly that you could feel lost sometimes. Even though it's not new, the ... Jan 21, 2023
I was really surprised to like this anime considering the reviews I had read. For that reason, I decided to write this review because I don’t think this anime is getting the love it deserves.
I agree the story is rushed and I'm really sad about it because most often we have empty plots being dragged on and this story really had potential to develop beautifully. Because of that, naturally, the pacing and even the characters are a bit unstable at times. The good thing is that it made really curious about the manga because of that. Concerning other aspects - I liked the art, the songs, ... Dec 11, 2022
uhhhh i started it because i thought it would be a nice shojo romance, stayed for the overall goofiness. To be honest, objectively, it wasnt good. BUT there' s a badass woman MC, witty, quick-thinking and kind which makes you want to see what she does next. Background characters although there were never fleshed out, but yk, cool romance.
Overall, the plot jumps around a lot, the pacing is super weird, (there's a whole ass arc that could be 6-7 episodes crammed in 2-3) and there were a lot of points or problems solved in ways i didnt really get, but instead of trying to ... Dec 13, 2022
The first 7 or so episodes were really enjoyable and fun. But towards the end it felt so, so RUSHED. I'm so disappointed. This anime could have done with being twice the length it was. I loved how badass Aileen was and how she wasn't the usual useless damsel you normally see in romace manga. She is her own person and makes her own decisions and has tons of confidence in herself. She actually has a personality, instead of being a self-insert character! I loved that. I'm also an absolute sucker for romance framed from the "villainess" POV.
I really enjoyed the back and forth, ... |
