Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari: Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story

Due to poor finances, an epidemic, and famine, the once prosperous Tearmoon Empire ultimately falls to a revolution instigated by its citizens and supported by neighboring nations. The rebellion also brings dire consequences for Mia Luna Tearmoon, the empire's extremely spoiled princess, who endures three years in the dungeons before facing execution.

By some miracle, Mia finds herself reincarnated as her 12-year-old self, retaining full memories of everything that had transpired. With the pain of the guillotine blade freshly imprinted on her neck, Mia is determined to use this second chance at life to avoid the grim fate that awaits her. She utilizes all her knowledge to improve the state of the kingdom and gather personal allies, inadvertently winning over the people's hearts and becoming beloved as a saint.

It's unique in the sense that it's not a "reincarnated into a villainess" but rather villainess reborn to her younger self.

Some people found that premise refreshing, but to be honest, for the first few episodes, all I could think of was she didn't deserve the second chance lol.

Other than that, i have no other problems. It's a feel good anime like the other villainess ones. It's good but not super unique. I've watched a lot of villainess anime by now so I'm used to the common tropes. But i still found this quite enjoyable.

I like the comedy that arises from the misunderstandings that she is ... a genius. There are plenty of moments that gave me a good laugh.

All in all, it is a fun watch.

Mixed Feelings

Tearmoon Empire begins with a clever satirical premise—what if Marie Antoinette got a second chance at life, but only to save her own neck? That’s the situation Princess Mia finds herself in, after being executed by revolutionaries and waking up in her younger body. Her attempts to selfishly avoid her future fate are hilariously misinterpreted as acts of wisdom and kindness, setting off a chain of events that reshape the empire around her. The series plays this twist for comedy, leaning more toward light satire than serious political drama.

The comedy is quite enjoyable and often smart, but it comes at a cost. While the world-building ... is solid and hints at deeper systemic issues within the empire, the anime simplifies much of what the light novel explores with more nuance. Some character motivations and political mechanics are glossed over, and important developments can feel rushed. It’s a charming story, but viewers looking for a layered political narrative may find it lacking.

Visually, the show adopts a simple, cute art style that suits its tone. Mia’s exaggerated expressions are a highlight, and the character designs support the lighthearted mood well. However, the animation is noticeably weak in key scenes—particularly action sequences, which lack fluidity and impact. The soundtrack complements the story’s playful atmosphere but doesn’t stand out on its own. All in all, Tearmoon Empire is a fun, breezy watch with a unique concept—even if it doesn't quite reach the depth or polish it aspires to.

Second attempt, second drop. Tho this time I forced myself to complete it, a bit for masochistic curiosity and a bit for the sake of a review.

What I like:
- fast pace
- no drama
- likeable characters
- "feel good" tone

What I don't like:
- childish
... - disturbingly high pitch voice of MC, who also screams a lot when she has her inner panic attacks
- shallow, very much so
- flat personalities
- 90% of the characters are teens or young adults. Honestly, the MC is the first imperial princess and NOT FREAKING ONCE we see the emperor or the empress. I don't remember having ever seen any other show where the focus on the youth was so extreme
- the plot and the writing are soooooooooooo BASIC
- even the "feel good" aspect is not remarkable enough to give this story at least one solid redeeming quality to be recommended for
- cheap "comedy of misunderstandings"
- I find the music from time to time too present, somehow disturbing

I suppose if you really have nothing better to watch or if my "I don't like" are not an issue for you, you might enjoy it.
But I can't recommend it.
