Is this considered good fighting animation?

I mean it's obviously not on the level of a current One Piece episode and certainly doesn't come up to scratch with the latest Kimetsu no Yaiba, but is this good enough for this type of show?

“They pissed me off so I beat the living shit out of them!” Spoken like a true enforcer! I love Scarlett! She’s my new spirit animal! 🥰🥰

I hope there are more plot and obstacles that take more than a punch to get through coming. Her punching comically evil dudes and blond guy being amused by it will get old.

So far so good, it's pretty much the same as the manga barring one or two little details (I know this is originally a Light Novel but I read the manga so that's my only point of reference. There are many characters in the opening I don't recognize though.



Can't wait for the next episode :D

[ep1 & 2] Scarlet and Julius are basically the golden retriever and black cat duo. Scarlet's desire to punch people who piss her off is very relatable. I'm glad she carries through with it, leaving no one unscathed. Julius needs to improve on those drawing skills... Anyway, this is a great start to this anime, can't wait to see how it progresses.

It's hilarious she punched him, even though he gave her the information she needed. She is such a savage and you just can't help, but love her for that.

Julius and I are similar: we find it funny and really enjoy watching Scarlet beat the crap out of people. Those hoodlums got trashed and she officially threw her first kick!

I'm really impressed by the humour of this show so far, and the strong-willed nature of the "villainess" MC.

Maybe it shows that I've watched way too many villainess-style shows 😬 but it feels like a breath of fresh air for the villainess "genre".
@GooseHybrid Feel the same way. I hope they don't end up making her the damsel in distress as they are wont to do to any strong women.

The ED reveals that the floozy we saw in the first episode has an important role to play. She has an immensely punchable face so I hope our heroine gets a second shot at that mug of hers.

Slightly slower than first episode to be expected after such a banger of a first episode. If they show one scene of Scarlet beating the shit out of people is enough honestly.

I am really liking how sly the prince is perfect tamer for such beast like "bloodtaned lady".
I would have preferred Nanaka to be girl, meh femboy fine ig.

When Scarlet crushed that rock hearing how those crooks beat up the boy was damn good. Justice served..

Great start so far, nothing really out of the world for an villainess show but great execution. Time warping is kinda cool though.

OP was quite decent.
Idk how much role Terenezza will play after getting beat up but that ED is an masterpiece. And girl looks soo hot & cute❤️

Yea this isnt for me. I had high hopes based on the clips I had seen, but with the 1st prince very obviously being the love interest I just cant get into it. He's such a pos, literally sees her as an interesting animal. She is basically his jester, and eventually having her somehow fall in love with him when shes such a badass character just already irks me and I know its gonna piss me tf off when it happens. Onto the next one

As long as the problems evolve beyond just the fistable, I think I'll enjoy this a lot on a basic level. I'll be a little disappointed if pink hair is the main antagonist and it's played as some big revelation though.

I'm really not that impressed by the animation in this show. It's perfectly serviceable and doesn't really negatively impact the show don't get me wrong. But after seeing "Detective's these days are crazy" last season. LIDENFILMS production work is much more rough here, the animation is less consistent and can be quite stiff at times, it also has a lot more still frames in comparison. I'm not really complaining as it's likely it just has a very low budget. But I would still prefer seeing less stiff animation, lots of low budget shows have more still frames, but at least when they do have motion it looks consistently good.

The fight against the bandits this episode looked perfectly fine and it had some well done motion too, but the choreography wasn't exactly great, at least it was animated pretty well. Not the most consistent in terms of production quality but at least the fight scenes are pretty serviceable so far.


Otherwise I'm really unsure of this show so far, I guess a character that really likes punching people is something some people enjoy, not me as much I suppose. The bigger issue is really that this show is already struggling a bit in the story and plot department, which is a shame. Hoping to see things get better in regards to it's plot and story as the show continues airing.

Nanaka ♡

It's unfortunate that they decided to change the cute moment where Nanaka is too flustered to shake Scarlet's hand, and she's amused about it (She finds it cute). But oh well.
And then there's this gem, which was also cut:


Still, I'm enjoying this adaptation. Looking forward to episode 3. It should be Julius' backstory. Then again, his backstory is already "late". Who knows how far they've moved it.

Interesting concept of princess who likes to beat up people, awful execution. That about sums it up. You'd think that a princess beating people up would make this show interesting but it's as plain as it gets.

That display though impressive sure would had been taxing so its no wonder she fainted. Her actions though sure gave Scarlet quite the rep. The prince forming a secret org to deal with the corruption within the kingdom was something that i expected from him. Scarlet's magic though sure is versatile Freeing Nanaka sure was a nice way of getting a new ally. Still infiltrating the auction's gonna be an interesting challenge.

Honestly, I didn’t think the story would get this interesting, but that just means I’ve got a show to look forward to this season. I’m glad Scarlet didn’t get punished for beating down those arrogant aristocrats, and it’s all thanks to Julius. It’s so funny how Julius has this whole plan to take down the prime minister and his corrupt allies, while all Scarlet wants is to just kick some ass. But honestly, they complement each other so well.

Love the funny violence like I always did with Revy, and the blond Prince is hilarious. I've enjoyed all of the silver-haired waifus we've been treated to the past couple of years, be it Alya or Subaru - they are all adorable. And Scarlet and her black gloves may be my favorite of the bunch - she is a laugh riot!

I wonder if the Alice in Wonderland theming of the end credits is actually going to come into play. A bunch of fantasy monsters in the opening and terenezza all over the ending suggest the world is going to open up beyond political intrigue. Wonder how far we will go. Glad to see plenty, but hopefully, we won't go so far as to involve their gods, like Chronoa.

I’ll share my first impressions of the anime — I’ve only watched two episodes so far, so I’ll probably update this later.

The main character is the kind of girl who solves everything with her fists, and honestly, it’s super fun to watch. She beats up everyone without hesitation, which is refreshing compared to all those overly nice protagonists we often see. Still, she’s not just about violence — she’s also competitive and seems to have a kind heart.

The male lead seems like a nice guy, and their chemistry feels natural and entertaining. With only two episodes in, it’s hard to tell where the story is going, but I get the feeling it’ll focus on them dealing with different problems around the kingdom — maybe with a bit of romance mixed in.

The animation quality is great (as expected, since there are lots of fight scenes), the character designs look amazing, the voice acting is solid, and the background music fits well with the overall tone.

I'm wondering, shouldn't Julius already be engaged to someone too? If the second prince (Kyle) had a marriage arranged before he was even born, you'd think it would be more important for the first prince to have an arranged marriage by now. What if the pink-haired girl tries to marry him instead...

Anyway so far I feel like I'll gladly watch 11 more episodes of Scarlet punching people, but we'll see.

Scarlet’s violence and punches continue—but this time, the ones paying for it were a bunch of bandits. The Prime Minister better tread carefully around Scarlet’s fists.

That aside, Scarlet really just solves the problems with her fist and she feels good doing it, I mean– who wouldn't be?
Meanwhile Julius here is just having a fun time watching her do her stuffs, me too! hahahaha

Well this had potential, but devolved into a selfish unwise person, just beating up anyone they wanted for their own pleasure in a fit of emotional rage, without an clue about who or what she was doing to whom, instead of doing the entire kingdom a favor, by working to take down the entire faction of the second prince, making her in fact a beast, like the first prince had said in this episode, and therefore, if this anime follows the rules of most kingdoms, she should be in prisoned and put to death, but "because anime logic" prevails, by some anime miracle, she will escape her destined fate, so predictable and lame.

WTF did you watch?

@Sayakasai909 I should report your comment for all the profanity and personal insults, but it probably wouldn't help with your lack of intelligence. I did watch the show and I followed the story. While you think in the immediate now, which doesn't help anyone but herself, I think long term and for what would benefit the kingdom and her own situation. Now I don't know the written material, but for beating up royalty and nobles, normally that would mean being arrested and maybe the death penalty. If the anime finds some unrealistic way of her not being held accountable for this beat down on all the guests, then it would be "anime logic" and not satisfying in any way.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.
