| Another one of those otome villainess anime. Alicia makes her debut in this and it follows a trend similar to other otome villainess shows. She's mostly protrayed as a kid in this episode but seems to be a hardworking person. I find the episode kinda cute in the way it's set up so far. There's also some story lore with locations in their world. |
 |
| Novelist Izumi Okido's lone series that's alwaya the Isekai reincarnation of the Villainess Otome Game sub-genre, I for sure did not think to have villainess shows after they died off for quite a while. Liyuu's OP and Rin Kurusu's ED is rather fine for its theme though. In many ways, the reborn eldest sister of 7-year-old Alicia Williams acts pretty much like any reincarnated villainess in the making, most especially like Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 a.k.a Vlllainess Level 99's Yumiella, if she's ever that straightforward with what she wants to be with her push-ups and sit-ups of workouts. Her 3 brothers of Albert, Henry and Alan are stereotypical brothers who encourage Alicia to try hard, no matter if it's her workout or learning magic. Of course, there're the many prince routes of the Five Great Noble Families, but it's Prince Duke Seeker whom she fancies the most, and her swordsmanship, despite being taken a hoke, she shows how serious she is. A year after, and the now 8-year-old villainess wannabe has been training hard that Duke has taken notice of her. And in the midst of the war, all 5 princes and the king gather together for politics, and Alicia being the simpleton to counter-answer the king to show off her villainess traits, he's impressed. The ice prince himself also being enamored by Alicia to give her a diamond as a birthday present, and as the fate of the Golden and Blue Roses await the legend of the Saint, things begin to move, slowly but surely. Typical villainess start, let's see how the anime will go from here. |

| d-anime Store/U-Next/Anime Houdai early streaming. She says she wants to be a "villainess," but she seems to miss what that actually means. A villainess is usually someone who causes trouble for the heroine and fights for the attention of the male leads. It’s nice she looks up to characters like Alicia and wants to be the "greatest villainess," but she doesn’t get what being a villainess is about. Really strange how she can be smart and clueless at the same time. She’s really annoying, but I can’t hate her because she doesn’t seem like a bad person. I just wish she’d stop being so focused on the whole "villainess" thing and just try to live a good life. Though with the likes of the king and the type of shit he asks of her, which might I add, one thing I don’t get is why the king would ask an 8-year-old that kind of question. It makes no sense. There’s potential here, but if it turns into "I’m the villainess by doing good things I think are bad," it’ll just be another typical otome isekai. I hope it doesn’t. |
 |
| Does this get a time-skip or is it fixed with a seven year old MC? |
| . |
| Maho Film back with the usual. This time with a villainess reincarnation story following the recent trends but the fmc actually wants to become the biggest villain in this one. Well she's gonna fail from the looks of it and already conquering the guys as well. Not a bad start, OP/ED were okay. |
 |
| I would lie if i didn't say i am looking forward to watching this show, otome game/villainess anime have always just been great fun and are one of my favorite anime niches. The animation might not have been top notch here, and the pacing was a bit quick at times. So i won't expect this to rival Bakarina or Dorkness, but in this type of show i personally don't need it to be peak anime quality. I just love seeing my dumb villainess girls just have a great time, you go gurls! Alicia seems to be quite the quick learner as these villainesses tend to be, wonder if she'll accidentally end up being too good by the time they start in school |
  ⠀ ⠀ 【Ｎａｗｉｃ】 Enjoy the shows you love, relish the feelings you have, but never forget to keep an open mind. Challenge yourself and you'll truly find your own thoughts and feelings. |
| Let’s gooo we went an entire season without a villainess/otome show so it’s good to have one back. We have a lot of female oriented/shoujo stuff this season I’m so excited and starting us off is this show. Really good start. Instead of running from being a villainess Alicia actually embraces it and wants to be the best. She’s adorable and I love how earnest she is about improving her swordsmanship skills and studying to improve her political knowledge. Loved when she told the king how she’d improve the economic situation to make rebellion less likely! Hopefully the childhood bit doesn’t last too long, I find that’s usually the least fun part of otome shows. But things are gonna get really interesting once the saint gets involved! The love interests are your standard otome flavours. Edgy and aloof dude, the twink, the smart glasses dude, the swordsman etc. Alicia seems to have her mind set on Duke, but the prophecy might have another thing to say about that lol. Looking forward to how this one turns out |

| looks about average, but man am i a sucker for an average villainess story. |
 |
| Villainess story always fun (obviously as sub genre of Isekai). Alicia looks like a mix of Yumilia and Bakarina. She is hardworking and smart and already creating her harem. The hair colour of this dudes are quite convenient. Obviously the male lead has best type of magic of all. Loved how her solution to improving economy is to incite separatist movement in nearby kingdom and profit from it. True imperialist Villainess, I hope she continues like this and don't become a goody two shoe mc she despise. Decent start |
| My favorite trope, the king of a country asking a loli for economic advice. Most astute of him. Love interest happening off the bat was funny. I love Alicia already, even if this is going to be a pretty cliche villainess anime. Animation was easy on the eyes. The tree kick slice thing was cool. Was hoping to see more action, or at least see her magic, but we got plenty of time. 4/5 |
  |
| Sorry lady, that black rose was your kid dying and the villainess being born. Now I'm going to puppet her body. MWAHAHAHAHA! Actually looks pretty good so far. Low ratings be damned. |
| Interesting start. I'm hoping they'll possibly adapt the whole series... |
| Other places where to find me: ☆ AO3/FF/tumblr/YouTube: Tuliharja ☆ Pixiv: Tuliharja/72847426 ☆ DA: Tuliharja-art |
| The training part was cute. Alicia's chibi self reminds me of Bakarina. But I honestly don't know about these otome shows. Can't feel excited when the setting and character designs are so sameish. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So much for being a villainess lol. Not a bad start |
| The newest entry on the "Reincarnated as a Villainess" genre, this time the twist being that MC actively wants to be a villain, the animation could have been a bit better but I'm in. |
| Almost gave a 4/10 and dropped because subtitles said "My kind brothers are the conquerable routes in the game." 🤮... also she did 0 pushups!!!!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK (she did do the squats and sit-ups though, not sure why the creators of this were like "hey, let's have her not actually do push-ups!!!"... However it appears that the brothers are not the love-interests but those other 5 boys. I will give a pre-emptive 5/10 (average). It feels very generic and nothing special or too enjoyable, but I'll give it 3 episode as I kind of enjoy this stuff to a degree. 3/5, it's like she's in her heaven for now <3 (you notice with the roses, she was "born" (reincarnated taking over existing girls body) with the dark/dead rose, but no one is the wiser. I feel like Blue Rose boy will want to go against destiny that feels like matches with Golden Rose girl who is likely heroine. |
  |
| Forgot which villainess series this was until I saw her with the eyepatch in the opening. Not exactly the most memorable of the genre. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but something looks off. Maybe it's the head proportions or that some of the visuals just look bad but something doesn't feel right. It's definitely not very good visually for a first episode. |

| Another cookie cutter isekai villainous, but Alicia seems sharper and with more common sense than any of the ones before her - this could be a fun ride |
 |
| Average villainess story: nooooo I was reincarnated as a villainess I don't wanna die, better git gud and live. Other characters still treat her like she is the villainess This: Mwahahaha I am the villainess I will do the evil. Literally becomes the Saint |
| bruh |
| It's a "cute" start but compared to the other villainess manhwua's I've been reading lately it's....kind of on the boring side. The fact that all the "conquerable routes" also seem to like her already way too fast despite her mostly minding her own business also seems like a cheat (especially the prince....Can you be even creepier with all those smiles you're giving her?)...... Well guess we'll see...but this series is giving a very chill vibe overall so far... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Well, a completely "okay"-ish start. After the adaptation of "Amagami-san chi no enmusubi", which also started today, completely convinced me, "Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo" falls a little short of my expectations. In contrast to the Amagami sisters, I don't know the original here, so I started the anime "flying blind" so to speak. From the visuals, I would have expected a sharp-tongued, cunning, witty villain with charm, who doesn't mince her words and wears her heart on her sleeve, and thus gets into all kinds of (im)possible situations. - Instead, we're dealing with a child here.😅 Marinate1016 said: Hopefully the childhood bit doesn’t last too long, I find that’s usually the least fun part of otome shows I found that a bit unexpected, especially because the visuals and light novel covers mostly show an adult Alicia. So I hope that we get a time skip soon - otherwise the whole thing would be too boring for me. Adult Alicia looks really interesting in the PVs, so I hope she won't stay a child for too long. (The ED, which shows her as a child throughout, unfortunately suggests the opposite) The characters are also more stereotypical. To be honest, the background story with the roses didn't really catch me - at least not to the point where I couldn't stand it for a week out of suspense. But as the previous speaker Scootboi already suggested...we still have 12 episodes, so if it's broadcast weekly, until Christmas Eve. A lot can happen. |
| Meh Watched 5 minutes and was already bored by the piss poor art (undetailed characters with no eyes) and it looks like just another cookie cutter villainess show. I really can't remember a single show from Maho Studios that I would call it worth of anyone's time due to good directing or good visuals. This is a hard pass for me. |
| I hope they have a dictionary in that vast library because Alicia needs to look up the definition of villain. |
Yesss!!! I was wating for this series so much <3 I loved this episode. By the way, the OP song and ED song sounds amazing!! <3 |
| fine first episode even if this seems to be really generic. alicia is very cute especially with the tied up hair. but it seems like this will go so that she thinks she is going to be a true villainess but ends up accidentally becoming the mc/saint instead or just a really nice person in general. the villainess theme is like a guilty pleasure almost, many of the shows are kinda bad but i enjoy them but i wish theyd make one where the villainess will actually be evil.    |

| Pretty meh first episode. Things felt like it was moving super fast. She also starts out OP. able to do so much reps in a week, able to slice a apple cleanly in the air first try with no prior experience, and what is that insane reading speed? She's already too OP, especially considering unlike Lv.99 this isn't the pitch for the series. I don't like how OP she is especially since it didn't feel earned, just granted to her. I also concur with the concern that she ends up being "good person but thinks i'm evil" type of character because then it isn't really that interesting. Although I guess her idea of destabilizing a neighbor and then neo-colonizing the breakaway state they backed is a pretty scummy move fitting for a villainess. Also don't the males look like really plain? Like NPC level plain, especially her brothers despite being the love interests? This is a Otome anime right? Even shonen series have better looking males and that's a low bar. |
 |
| Not a bad start. Typical otome isekai where the heroine prefers to be the bad guy, which is more fun, but in her earnestness to be the best villain, she's actually - unbeknownst to her - making herself way better than that actual supposed heroine lol |
       |
| Never played an Otome game but I seem to enjoy the anime's about them. This episode was a lot of fun and I look forward to watching more. |
| I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together. VTUBER LIVE STREAMS YouTube/Twitch/Kick/Rumble/Twitter = https://linktr.ee/dolfunthedolphinvtuber ANIME REVIEWS - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3agtBvVDdHFzXbqPV47c-A  |
| So is this literally a clone of Villainess Level 99? ... as well as untold numbers of other shows? |
