I thought I'll have less Anime to watch this season by skipping on the fantasy/isekai/villainess ones but I just couldn't resist this one lol.

I already like Scarlet and her chemistry with Julius. A female MC that can stand up for herself and a Prince that watches over her because she's interesting in more ways than one. Love Scarlet's expressions too~

I didn't even noticed it was CHICOwithHoneyworks until I saw their names in the OP! and the ED by Shiyui written by scop-san is also good!

Well, it's pretty good so far. I do suppose that it's going to have the predictable trope of FMC who is going to end up with obvious man that somehow finds joy in annoying her. I mean, we've seen that before. Apothecary Diaries, anyone? Of course there are many other anime that has this cliche.

However, it's still entertaining thus far even if I know that they will likely end up as a couple at the end.

I can deal with cliches if it's entertaining and/or funny.

Unless it somehow surprises me in one way or another, I could see myself giving it an "8" later on.

Such a refreshing first episode to this setting. So many times in these series you wish they'd just punch them in their face and this grants that wish. I remember reading a little bit of the manga way back so its nice to come back to it.

This is how you should do a commonly used trope and make a unique twist on it. At the end of the day its still the same, MC framed and broken engagement but this is so refreshing.

BEAT THEIR ASSESS SWEETIE!πŸ’–β€οΈπŸ’•

Such a satisfying end to the first episode! I love Villainess media so this will be a fun watch for me + the animation style is really beautiful :).

Prince Kyle is a total asshole for sure, but his brother isn't a fairytale prince either. I'm sure that he'll enable Scarlet to show her true feelings which I think would be great, but I also hope that he learns he can't treat people like toys from her.

I'm very curious about how they are going to continue incorporating the cute pink lady (who deserved the hell out that punch, really made me cheer 😍) into the show. With that ED she's gotta be important. Judging by the way there looks to be a longhaired version of her in the OP I'm gonna assume a "good" version of her is trapped within or smth? Or maybe she just wanted to trick that dumbass Kyle (Even more of a satisfying beat down!) to get money and a place in the royal family. We'll see.

Anyways I'm off to the next episode with lots of excitement yay!!πŸ’–

This was THE MOST cliche first few minutes of an anime I’ve ever seen. I seriously thought I started rewatching “I’m the villainess so I’m taming the final boss” or some other villainess anime. Literally identical setup. Although that left hook was great. The rest was fun too.

A boring, simple, and unoriginal story. The characters are bland and the designs are rather common. 3/10 DROP

I can’t stand the villainess genre. I gave it a shot based on the description. I’m glad I did as her beating the shit out of everybody is awesome. Can’t wait to see the rest

Aight that was sick, but is it going to tone itself down now into just another villainess anime, or will we get what we want: the momentum continuing with Scarlet going on a rampage? Let's see!

Oh look, another feminist wet dream anime. Thank you, but no thanks.

How many such revisionist feminist power dreams anime have been turned up by the establishment this season?

Way too many IMHO.

This is awesome. Second prince is infuriating. It was so satisfying to watch her kick his ass.

I can't tell if they are grossly trying to parody the over-used "dropped by the prince" trope, or if its just bad.
But at least I got surprised by the way she handles it.
Without so much over-acting and the operetta villain prince, it would be so much better.

Great animation, fun watching Scarlet beat on everyone. Wonder where this will go though since that can't last for a whole season.

Ok this show had zero interest for me. I was not going to watch. Then I saw so many people lose their minds about episode one and all the Scarlet talk began.


So I decided to give the show a go and.....hype justified. Is it anything original? No, but in this case it's all about character and execution. Scarlett is absolutely awesome, the language bombs are surprising and perfect. and the Deadpool-ish 4th wall breaking fits like her beatdown black gloves.


Scarlett might be going in my favorite characters list after one episode, but regardless, even if the rest of the show stinks, I'm here for the ride cause this episode was great.

I don't know where this is going but this is perfectly scratching the itch left behind by Bad Young Woman's Slow Life in Prison Start From Disengagement. One episode in and there's so much to like.

I haven't read the manga, but I watched it with a friend who did, and she didn't really like how they changed the pacing in the first episode.

However, I loved it! Especially the graphic fighting, blood, and wonderful display of her powers! I hope this doesn't turn into another one season anime, because honestly, I am HOOKED!

Why the hell did Scarlet get stuck with fucking Kyle?? Julius and Scarlet are perfect together.

What a baddie <3

This might be my favorite new show of the season. Scarlet and Julius are definitely best new characters. Their bantering is perfect. Julius is unique, he's designed as a typical "perfect guy that is sprung on the MC" but he's actually kinda warped in the head and just has impeccable social skills. But his kind of warped vibes perfectly with Scarlet's kind of warped. Scarlet is already one of my favorite female characters of all time. Strong, very well designed visually, personality is both admirable and hilarious, love everything about her. This anime is so good.

Ah yes, another generic Villainess where the MC gets the generic rejection at a ball and then tossed aside....

WAIT... MC just did what?

LOL

She took her mask off, she no longer needs it, fuck all those that cross her, it's time for her to be free, free TO PUNCH.

.

And the Flashback, not only is she bullied by the 2nd prince, but she also gets stalked by the 1st prince.

Too bad they're royalty, so she can't put a restraint order on either of them.

.

Then back to present... everyone lost it, LOL, and reveals all their dark secrets, LOL

Quite interesting how she can move around so much with that big dress tho.
