Well, Bakarina is a parody of this whole genre called "Otome Isekai". There are hundreds with similar premises, it's just that the parody got an animation before the actual ones did.

Nice, Sugita as a crow named Almondo xd and i heard Hanakana too. Double nice!

Also, hmm, this might be lead into a more romance shit than what Hamefura did back then considering how the first episode already pick a solid ground with the relation between Aileen and Claude half-brother. Even if i can't help but thinking this can be quite promising. Though, this is by far still not the best to what i expect. The opening also not quite attractive, but its still have a chance for it to be more powerful as long as the story narrative picking up another solid ground.

Alright then, whatever happens next, Akuyaku Reijou. Welcome to my first watch for the fall season!

I thought this was rather cute. We immediately see some chemistry between the leads, that's always nice to see. Cedric is adorable, and Aileen seems pretty headstrong. It will be fun to see them fall in love in 2 months time before the marriage ball of her ex and rival, and Cedric's half brother. The art and colour pallete is also intriguing

Cedric seems like more of a villain than Claude, and he's supposed to be one of the routes? Seems like the Aileen from the game gave him an excuse to be rotten to an ex by playing the villain, but simply walking out of that party with a smile has changed things considerably.

While this seems very similar in premise to “My Next Life as a Villainess”, this first episode proved it is very different. Aileen, while she has the same goal as Katarina, being avoiding doom, is going about it differently. She’s straight up running to the demon lord and asking to marry him lol, and she’s definitely clever giving the methods she used to get what she wants in the episode, like how she fooled the crow and gave Claude the love potion lol, and even the first scene of the show where she takes the rejection from Cedric and keeps her head held high, that was a strong opening for sure.

And after that final scene where Claude has the romantic moment with Aileen saying he wanted to see her cry, I’m definitely hooked now. And that OP was also very good, kinda reminds me of the Slime 300 OP which is probably because it’s also Rie Takahashi lol. And with that being said, this was a great show to start that Fall 2022 anime season!

Seeing people in this thread assuming this is 'Just HameFura' and immediately dropping it, is making me roll my eyes lol if you can't tell the set up is different please try again..

If anyone is worried it's a copy and paste, it's not. There is a sole focus on one romance and not everyone loves Aileen. Without saying too much, you'll find there are more moments where Aileen is clearly still succumbing to her villainess tendencies.

The thematic is pretty dramatic at times, and you'll see some slap stick comedy as well.

I do feel like the first episode was very rushed and some details were left out and should have been explored more. It felt desperate to set the scene going forward but I hope it slows down. At this rate I would assume 2 novels worth of content but if it's 12 episodes that worries me fr

My only complain with this episode is that it was way too fast-paced it, but besides that, I liked it! Eileen at least for now is quite an strong character, I really liked her personality! It's also the first time I hear a deeper-sounding Rieri too so that's pretty cool as well. Not sure of how I feel about HanaKana voicing the generic otome game protagonist though lol.

Welcome the (early) Fall season with Bakarina and Otome Isekai 2.0...or is it? The Otome Isekai trend is just getting its feet off the ground!

RieRi's OP is a lil' too high-pitched for my taste, so it'll take some time to get used to.

Aileen Lauren d'Autriche is definitely one such unlucky lady...from the basis of whom she started her life as someone in real life whom's on the verge of death, and reincarnated being the villainous heiress in a world infested by the typical demon lord Claude Jean Ellmeyer (the demonic half-brother of Prince Cedric who is supposed to marry Aileen) and instead, trounces on his doorstep to announce her marriage. Simply hilarious, given how much Aileen herself is prejudiced at home, and how Claude is the aforementioned "Last Boss" dragon character to be faced.

With Claude's magic forcing Aileen to be transported back home, it's more bad news for Aileen as she has to face yet another round of humiliation, only this time that she'll make them both eat their words. And it's back to the Demon Lord's castle, though she used the gatekeeper as hostage from her paralysis cookie in order to force Claude out...with an anaesthetic instead.

A fenrir cub has gone loose, and Aileen requests help as a favour that she owed Claude a debt to go find it. But it got caught within the vicinity of the school, and Aileen successfully got it out of the trap before anyone could notice. And as Prince Cedric mocked her existence further, Claude shows up to give his thanks as a way to clear her name, treated her like Cinderella, and made the decision to attend the ball with her.

Aileen's in for a ride in her very own Otome Game adventure...that feels rushed, but this is the beginning, so let's see where it will go from here.

i'm very new to this whole sub isekai genre that is Villainess with Bakarina being the only one ive seen so far and that it it's self was a parody

while once again it seems like even this type doesn't change it's template too much from it's parent genre it was enjoyable Aileen s a go getter i like that


while the pacing seemed a bit fast this wasn't a bad start

This will be another handful of a heroine and less than a villainess and I'm really looking forward to this series animation.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

A typical isekai but with a shoujou twist. It's alright but definitely won't beat Chainsaw Man, My Hero Season 6, Spy X Family Bleach or Blue Lock. I am interested in the story and how the Demon Lord isn't a bad guy per se.

I do hope we get some proper romance not just some half-assed Japanese "couple" who just about manage to hold hands by the finale. If this show fails, Tonikawa Season 2 is the only hope for romance in anime.

Pretty nice start, this.

Main girl obviously reminds me a lot of Bakarina and the general setting of the show feels like a loose copy of that show, lol. Looks like this'll have more of the romance element and the fact that the significant partner is the demon king should definitely make things interesting down the line.

For some reason, I thought the Op was sung by Sangatsu no Phantasm after the first few seconds of the track.

Very decent first episode, Rieri nailed the MC also it's a very rare voice range rieri OP.

Premise is very similar with hamefura but has a certain twist to it, it's a shame that it got adapted after hamefura as everyone is comparing it with hamefura.
