I'm not one the ones who criticized that one but I did drop it after the first episode. The whole kill them as soon as you can part kind of it bothered me and I didn't really know it was a yuri until now. I'm happy for good yuri but like it more fun than dark. If it gets more slice of life after the first episode like Goblin Slayer or Skeleton Isekai I would probably give it another try. It is weird how it used to be the reverse kind of fake out in anime. Cute and fun with twisted dark ending, now it seems popular to be fucked up in the first episode and then get all cute and fun.

The last time I saw an isekai + yuri anime it got very harshly received by people, how come that didn't happen to this one?
Good writing + likeable character + passable art.
The girls love aspect doesn't have anything to do with it. Trends show that people will rate the genre just as highly as heterosexual romance anime when they're done well. 
Compared to other websites, MAL users (at least the ones rating the anime) tend to be ok with queers.
This. 
Putting aside the demographic majority of this website, most of the time, a show is not about the isekai/yuri aspect. This anime has both, which might attract anyone familiar with similar stuff. But that's only going to work for a few early episodes.

Seeing stuff like Shokei Shoujo (and even Blue Lock) bashed by inaccurate early reviewers is enough proof that first impression is essential.

Tenten Kakumei doesn't try to be edgy, nor tries to be all too serious all the time while having good writing, character, and art. If anyone dismissed any of those, I don't know what to say anymore...

Executioner went out of its way to call out isekai tropes in a way people found tediously edgy. I liked the show, but it was given the classic JC Staff treatment, which drained a lot of nuance, and a lot of people treated the show as a personal attack on their favorite genre. You can make fun of isekai, but sticking a bunch of knives into it remorselessly is a different matter. I like that about it, but I have come to terms with why that aspect destroyed its MAL rating. It's not as simple as it being labeled yuri, or it killing off Potato-kun in episode 1. It's a purposeful direct criticism of isekai narratives. 
honestly though if the production were better its rating wouldn't be that low, but an aggressively mid production can't survive being the target of a butthurt fan backlash. 
oh, also literally all of the characters are bad people in one way or another. except the princess knight. So, it also attracts ire from people that can't stand morally dark MCs. also Akari is annoying as hell for the opening stretch of episodes, and the second arc has messy plotting and atrocious CG for the final fight. there's a lot there to criticize. But I still don't think it deserves a sub-7 rating. 

Tensei Oujo plays off of isekai, villainess, and fantasy tropes, but does so in a polite conversation. It doesn't throw any elbows - it's not going to piss off anyone except homophobes. It's fun, crowdpleasing, and features likable leads who you want to see succeed.

Well it not really a Otome bait since it spend half of ep introduce you to MC and what she know and what she want then introduce you back to the otome set up just to run away form it complete
I mean just like Virgin Road, it's not a male MC wish fulfillment type of isekai, it's just a bait. This show attracts mostly otome lovers, that's why it's not badly received, yet.


Well it not really otome bait since it still focus in otome set up latter on as some thing she need to deal ( which i was worng). But more important they dont try to fake MC with a very edgy plot with fully logic explain and make a very edgy MC

You do know the meaning of otome, right? This show isn't otome, it's Yuri/Girls Love. Even MAL says so.

Well, You should know this one are one of two famous otome plot with Yuri between the novel reader, the other novel are must more heavy otome base and 100% will have otome tag. Still this one dont really like that since there arent any otome game memory form the MC just have otome game kind of set up so you could thorw the otome tag away form it but how the story go it quite same with a lot of otome novel which heavy politic stuff.

On top of that Yuri to otome are quite familiar which it other sinc ethey often have girl like girl stuff in otome story My villainess have like girl lol
 So it easy to accept the change


But betray Isekai to Yuri  not so must...

The obvious answer is probably because it pissed off people who didn't know anything about it before they watched it.
Personally I think the source material is better than Tensei Oujo, but the anime adaptation was very disappointing, especially after the bad CGI fight in episode 3.
I'm worried about this one too. The fight scene in the beginning of episode 1 looked really bad lol.

Well that how MAL said what Otome novel thank to it only came with few number( the most famous are my villaness ) at start . In novel reader Otome type of novel are the novel that have otome set up in it which belive me you have a lot of them that turn into different gender form Sol to fantasy and Yuri. You should know this one are one of two famous otome plot with Yuri between the novel reader, the other novel are must more heavy otome base and 100% will have otome tag. Still this one dont really like that since there arent any otome memory form the MC just have otome game kind of set up so you could thorw the otome tag away form it
Turn into different gender? Uh, No. Famous otome plot? No, where's that coming from. Since the princess already declares that she doesn't want to marry a man, this is clearly not an otome.

Also, based on Japan's store, the LN isn't tagged otome.

Well that only true Anis when Euphyllia story clearly base on otome and it what make the novel also feel same with otome, Anis even said like that about how her situation right in the first ep.

Seccond I like update my comment, the big reason this dont have otome tag because MC Anis dont have otome game memory like in a lot of otome isekai while if you look at nor the novel itself only focus on this. While we have Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou which it 100% girl love and Yuri + Otome ( just read the damn name) which have a lot of same focus on Noble and politic like this one

Also like i said in fix comment that Yuri that trick people think it otome it easy very acceptable since in My villainess ( one of the most poupular otome ) have yuri ship hint a lot.

On other hand Betray Isekai ( that even start with a fake MC) to Yuri ? Not so must

This show isn't otome isekai, how many times I have to say this? There's no prince (man) who is interested in Anis and she's also doesn't care about marrying a man.

Rae does have one so yes, otome.

What people said doesn't change the fact that this isn't otome. You should learn what the meaning of otome first. Euphy's plot cannot change the genre into an otome.

I have nothing to say anymore.

 Bro, Otome games are different from Otome game base novels. you clearly are the one who doesn't understand the genre here, and do I have to say even the MC confirms this?

Well, in my opinion, this anime was nicely accepted because it is aimed more at people who like easy-to-enjoy stories, compared to Virgin Road, where the story itself is more aimed at people who like detailed and deep stories. 

And the most important thing is that the first impression used in this anime is displayed better because the storyline itself is common and widely used but delivered well, compared to Virgin Road, where the concept itself can be said to have quite a unique storyline. 


But if we talk about the source of the story itself, Virgin Road actually has bigger potential than this one, so the main problem lies in the people's lack of knowledge about the basic concept of anime Virgin Road, so that the first impression of the anime doesn't feel good. And because the concept of the story itself which is included in 'deep' makes the anime difficult to accept in a short time easily.

There is a lot of homophobia towards BL anime BUT it is hard to draw the line between homophobes and criticism of a genre that is crap 9 times out of 10. Like, people loved Given because it was great boys love. Of course there were some quiet detractors due to the BL.

Yeah unfortunately that's how light novel adaptations tend to be, they just adapt 2-3 volumes of the LN to promote it and basically advertise the novels, and just drop it after that

Virgin Road was freaking great and one of the standouts from last year, loved the chars and the setting and worldbuilding on it had me hooked, something that sadly most isekai fail really hard at to me. It also had the OP song I spammed the most by a lot, which is a welcome bonus for sure.

The hate it gets (at least here anyways, reddit is based for once and has a lot better view on it) is one of the biggest bruh moments I have seen related to anime... not that I tend to agree much with opinions in general anyways, but I felt people really tried too hard to hate it over petty reasons, wish they did this for actual trash.

With that out of the way, hey, this show started pretty nice! I knew shit about it until I started it an hour ago, but consider me interested.

I wanted to like Virgin Road, I really did. I admit, I'm a trash isekai enjoyer. It's a good time-killer. It's kinda like re-watching your favorite shows, except it's slightly different each time you watch it, so it's not 100% predictable... but still predictable enough to not feel like you're venturing outside your bubble of comfort.

But, when the twist came in of that generic bland character got killed in Episode 1, I actually LOVED it. It hooked me. Legit, after that first episode, I was telling people that this could've been anime of the season! The problem was that the cast of characters in the show kinda didn't do it for me. I loved the executioner girl (I honestly forgot the names of the characters since I dropped it after Ep 3 or 4), but the isekai'd girl... I couldn't stand her. I'm personally not a fan of the airhead type (ie: Yotsuba from Quintessential or... any of the plethora of Genki Girls that littered the 2000's anime scene). Also, that jealous best friend type character the executioner had annoyed the hell out of me in the scenes she was in, almost as if she was more of a plot device to shove in our face "OH YEAH, THESE TWO CHARACTERS ARE THE LOVE INTEREST!!".

The story took a LONG time to get rolling and, even though, my interest after that fight scene on the train was piqued... the cast of characters and slow pacing wasn't really enough to keep me there. Although, maybe, because of its slow pacing, it's better to watch as a binge now that the season is over, but... if you have to wait for a season to be over to binge a show, that kinda says something about the writing.

(EDIT: Would like to say that the above is personal preference. Just because I didn't like certain characters doesn't mean they were necessarily bad, but certain character archetypes just don't exactly appeal to me as much. Same with why I had no interest watching Nagatoro and most RomComs annoy me. I can't stand abusive tsunderes, so those shows naturally don't appeal to me. Not that they're objectively bad, but just not my cup of tea. Airheaded characters kinda rub me the wrong way. And before you say "but Anis", at least she's intelligent. She's energetic, not obliviously stupid. I mean I can't stand types like Yotsuba in QQ or Katarina Claes.)

The reason I love this show is because it's more than just "here's the romance/yuri plot and here's the world plot", but rather, the two key plots (seem to) intertwine. The whole show is about characters that are rejected by the society they live in, accepting who they are, and (hopefully) making changes that progress the society. Whether that's through the yuri or advancements of magicology... it could be either. The two plots work in harmony instead of feeling like they have to fight each other for screentime (which is the bane of most romance shows and why sometimes pacing feels jarring or slow or some plot points feel underdeveloped). Plus, I really like the dynamic between both of the leads and I like them both individually.

I have so much hope for this show just off these two episodes alone!

(EDIT #2: I'm also pretty new to the yuri genre. TBH, genre doesn't matter to me as long as the story and characters are good. I remember checking out Heroines Run the Show and was hooked and was, technically, my first foray into idol anime, and I really appreciated the chemistry the cast of characters had. I'll watch anything as long as I vibe with it, lmao. So, hey, if anyone here has any yuri anime to throw my way, I'm all ears!)

Shouki Shoujo's low rating isn't cause of Yuri...

It was cause of some character's personality that makes the anime look bad.

Such as the MC turning from a Nice Girl into a Psycho Killer.

Or the fact that the anime is based around killing Isekai ppls... regardless of whether they're good or bad. And even tho they could find a way to send Isekai ppls back to their world, they choose to just kill them cause it's "less work". (such as the killing of that Mother that was not Summoned, but rather actual Isekai by the Gods and helped everyone, but they decide to end her life and later one of her daughters became one of the "top evil")

___ ___ ___

Meanwhile, this anime, while has Yuri, they don't random killings. (tho there's some Isekai involved, but the anime is tagged as Reincarnation (not sure if the "past life" died naturally or get Truck-kun tho))

The anime's more or less political slice-of-life Shoujo-ai anime.

I mean, there's a way to turn the Isekai'd people the to their world, but they don't just go "it's too much work" there is a very good reason, but it is pretty much spoilers from the novel.

I can understand that the way the anime presented themselves could also affect the way people see them.

No, it didn't kill its male MC since there wasn't one.

It tricked watcher to think that guy was MC and killed him off. It pissed of some people who want a character to self-insert. That's all about it.

Being Isekai+yuri has nothing to do with the reception. If the show is good, people will love it.

I think the yuri aspect does impact people’s view towards it tho.

Too many people simping for waifus, there have been too many self insert male characters lately. We need some male characters that everyone could gravitate to, you know like how people did with Chisato or Bocchi. But wait, could even a great male character even accomplish that 🤔

Unfortunately, a male character can't because like you said already; male anime viewers tend to be thirsty simps. Just read the comments around the forum. I have already seen people admit that this show isn't particularly special or great, and if it were a male MC or no yuri they would have already dropped it. People will say that yuri/female MCs tend to be better because they have to actually be good to be liked, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. They just benefit from their own form of bias, and it's that yuri/female automatically means good. To be fair, this is more of an issue within the yuri genre fans specifically.

A male MC that starts off strong is often shunned and called a "Kirito" or is boring, of which I would agree if it is not handled right and is meant to just be a male power fantasy. However I have dived a bit into this manga, and for some reason I see people call Anis a breath of fresh air, or different from the usual OP male isekai protagonist. She really isn't. Her downfall is not being gifted with magic, yet she has already opened up a path to overcome a lot of this with her foray into magicology, and she is very quickly shown to be a skilled and powerful fighter who does the usual "I'm so silly normally, but I go hard and serious when I fight" personality flip. None of this is bad per say, in my opinion, however she isn't all that different from a lot male isekai protagonist, or just male protagonist in general, and to watch people flip flop on this character archetype depending on the sex or preference of said character is just cringe.

Maybe my mind will change later into the series since I haven't gotten too far yet. It certainly hasn't been a bad start, but I am tired of watching people trip over each other in a rush to prop up any yuri/female cast show as peak fiction just because. We watched western entertainment tank because of this kind of behavior, and I'd rather it not start happening here too.

Maybe my mind will change later into the series since I haven't gotten too far yet. It certainly hasn't been a bad start, but I am tired of watching people trip over each other in a rush to prop up any yuri/female cast show as peak fiction just because. We watched western entertainment tank because of this kind of behavior, and I'd rather it not start happening here too.

Very well written argument. I’ve seen many people say they’d enjoy an anime more if it were all female characters. Quality of the series may not even matter to many of these people as long as the girls are cute, and there seems to be a growing number of these people. I’m not saying all fans are like that, but there is a significant shift towards the preference for female characters, or at least that’s what I’ve noticed.
As an example in the niche genre of gender bend anime, people love the idea of a series where a guy transforms into a girl, yet when a girl transforms into a guy, it apparently becomes “boring”.

The last time I saw an isekai + yuri anime it got very harshly received by people, how come that didn't happen to this one?



It still early to assume that its accepted since virgin in its beginning was accepted by some from its first two episodes and still got ignored later on so it’s a matter of time that will be ignored as well.

well idk about this since I haven't seen it, but there are a few reasons for why virgin road failed.

1. it killed the male self-insert, which alienated some of the trash isekai lovers. which were a good chunk of the people who gave it a chance.

2. the writing wasn't great. so the people who stuck around for the interesting concept or good production, realized it's only an ok show and nothing ground breaking.

3. the dub sucked dick. love it or hate it, dubs have an affect of the popularity of shows in the west. and that show's dub is really poor.



normally people ignore average level writing if the like the concept. but in vigin road it was average-poor in a very boring why. it has way too many info dumps.

something like rezero can get away with that, because it's way of being average in writing is having masterpiece level elements, and terrible elements. so show it to the right people and they will hail it as a masterpiece.

the writing in virgin road, was not a mixed bag. it was room temperature at best.

Re: Zero doesn't really get away with that aspect because it doesn't have to. Its writing is top of the class or whatever the phrase is among isekais. The only thing it's getting away with is having static animation and maybe some other production issues here and there.

you are living proof of that.

and no I'm not going to write an entire essay on why the writing isn't perfect, that would take way too long. If I ever did do that, I'll make it into s video and sent it to you.

Stop putting words in my mouth, will ya? I can't remember hailing it as a masterpiece so there goes your argument down the drain. All I said is that Re: Zero's writing is WAYYY above average, the best out of any isekai I have watched(haven't watched Sonny Boy yet though) so far therefore it doesn't need to "get away with anything". Besides even if, hypothetically speaking, it were only average, it already receives more than enough criticism so it's kinda iffy to say it "gets away with" it.

Just wondering is this anime actually good or is it being rated (way) higher because it has 'Yuri'? I don't mind watching Yuri itself but don't want to end up being misled by positive reviews and ratings that simply like the theme(s) and don't take into account the actual story being good or not.


This is really good story especially when you compared to isekai stories in general. This is like fresh wind in whole genre. Something different. Actually if you think about villainess genre then this fresh wind to that too. This actually something else what those two genres has used to see.

Because judging from the trailer, the synopsis and the manga only having 256 ratings, I don't see how this got a relatively high rating other than resonating with a group of people that are way more into Yuri than I am. Where I don't mind to see these themes but not going out of my way to look up and watch every Yuri-anime ever created and the other group of people being in Yuri communities, have their profiles filled with Yuri-content and mostly watching Yuri (bait) anime.
It's good if you like yuri and fantasy, otherwise just wait and see if its worth watching after the show finishes. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I thought it was only getting positively received because it is yuri. Look at the difference between ratings and comments between this show and the other ones like Spy Kyoushitsu and Ningen Fushin. Be aware that Spy Kyoushitsu has like 5x more followers than this show on jp twitter.
There is no reason this rating is this much higher unless the npcs are everywhere on forums like r/anime, mal, twitter.
Also if you see a lot of comments on other shows, they will be live "I gave up after 5 minutes" (which is barely the op) while this show people are saying is the "show of the season". Even above Vinland saga
Well as long as Fantasia Bunko can profit off this series that will be great but the woke will definitely cause collateral on everything they touch

As a Tensei Oujo Novel reader, I can say that the story is really good, at the beginning it doesn't seem like a big deal, but as the story progresses, we see that it has much more depth than initially shown.

About the comparison between Tensei Oujo and Spy, it's very easy to say why Tensei Oujo has better grades.

First, in my opinion, Tensei Oujo has charismatic characters, and it's much easier to like a small group of characters than a large one like Spy's.

Second, the production and direction of the Tensei Oujo anime is obviously better than the Spy anime, with fluid scenes, and good camera takes.

About Ningen Fushin, as I also read the novel of the work, I am very sad with the adaptation, which is obviously very precarious, although it is not that bad.

On a personal level, that would depend on what you want from a show. Honestly, the show has been slowly taking its time in establishing the characters, and the biggest draw is Anisphia. I think the comparisons to Chisato from Lycoris Recoil are apt, and her goofy personality is charismatic.

On the matter of the broader definition of good, and if the show is overrated....is it? It may be one of the highest rated shows of the season, but that's more to do with the rest of the season being poor. The score is about 7.90 - not bad, but not great and definitely not worth claiming to be overrated. If Vinland Saga is "good", it's a full point higher. Over the past year we've seen other likeable female characters - Marin, Chisato, Bocchi - and the scores of their shows are also much higher. Adjust your expectations accordingly, and you should be fine.

For the story and character development not to be bland/generic so to speak. Which makes it considerably more difficult when shows with certain genres/themes are more susceptible to having the extreme fans rate it far higher than the average person that sits in the middle (not hate / not love).

For example if this show didn't have Yuri, would it have same ratings or would it be lower (6.0 - 7.0)? Obviously there's also people that give low ratings to genres they don't like as well, but I've seen 'fanboyism' on K-drama's (MyDramaList) and some shows are vastly overrated on there because certain actors are in those shows.

I've seen quite a few people, on here with their profiles being dedicated to specific genres, some lewd one's, some Yuri/Yaoi one's, some Magical Girl one's... which really doesn't bother me but I wouldn't be able to fully rely on them giving solid/unbiased advice for an anime with those specific genres except for perhaps the very best of them.
So then is the true rating of every yuri show 1 point lower? That would put all of them below 7.0. Are they all mediocre at best and the worst shows on the site at worst? Do you honestly believe there are enough yuri fans to drastically alter the scores of every yuri show? This show has 11000+ ratings. What percentage are just yuri fans boosting it? 5%? 10%? If you remove every 9 and 10 score, the aggregate drops to about 7.10, and that is after removing 33% of the scores. Looks at it another way. If Edward Elric was a girl, or if Eren Yeager was in love with Armin instead of Mikasa, would the ratings of those shows go up?

Ultimately, all the scores are going to be biased and subjective. Not just because the people that watch have their own preferences, but because people who don't like a genre, just won't watch it at all. Same goes for sequel bias as well. Whether a show is overrated or underrated varies based on the personal opinion of the individual, but it just means that they disagree with the average of mal scorers.

I think I can answer that. I'm not a fan of Yuri, not because I dislike Yuri but because there are very few Yuri titles that have picked my interest over the years.

My reaction of the first two episodes was that I found the premise and the main character to be absolutely hilarious. I really hadn't expected the MC to be this bold. The animation was pretty good however and the little fight scene at the beginning was cool. However, at that point my biggest fear was that the show would turn into some sort of boring drama/slice of life where the MC and her love interest never really get interesting development and where nothing exciting happens.

This lead me to start reading the manga, which I finished in one setting (under 30 chapters because it adapts the LN as well). Because I still wanted more I got into what was currently translated of the WN (not much) and now I'm considering picking up the LN.

Now, I didn't expect being this surprised by the themes covered by the series. Obviously, there's the matter of responsibilities: how the princess should act like a princess but doesn't, for example. Then, liberty, which is easy to see thanks to Euphylia who gets to live freely. However, I didn't expect the series to dive this deep into the theme of

It's also important to note the series is character-focused. Therefore it spends a lot of time developping its cast, which I think is just the right size (for now at least).

Overall, I think the characters are the best strength of the series. They're endearing and well written in my opinion. The few bits of action here and there along with the *spoiler* theme really add some welcome spicyness to the mix. Would recommend trying out, I'm really enjoying this one.

But the female character was the MC since ever in that other series too, and they never killed a male to have their yuri and say "we hate men" what?

Don't act obtuse, there is a reason the rabid yuri fanbase were cheering the guy being killed, it's so they can have their yuri fetish ship and have the guy out of the way. 

Yuri fans are like this, they also hated on the poor Hibike Euphonium dude for no reason. 

This show doesn't have this problem, especially considering the prince guy himself rejected the girl anyway so yuri shippers don't mind him. 


I'm not acting obtuse, your description simply isn't how the series goes at all.

Shokei Shoujo got a lot of hate because of the self insert being killed at the start and the lack of explanation for the MC's reasons. While it's really dumb, first impressions and reviews matter a lot when it comes to how the anime is seen going forward. I wish MAL (and other sites) wouldn't let people give scores until the season is over, a lot of people who vote high/low early into season for early hype/hate just forget it by the time it ends, pretty sure a lot of people didn't even watch and gave it a bad score just because of the drama.
 But, I'd think TenTen's pace and characters are also more likable to the general audience. I think it has a more "casual" feel as well, if that's a good or a bad thing is more of a personal opinion I guess.

Because they're finding it more enjoyable? Not all shows that feature one thing in common (fantasy with some yuri) have to be equally well-received. 

I personally found Shoukei Shoujo to be a let-down after its opening episode and didn't enjoy the characters much. We'll see if this show can do better as it goes.
