So this is getting a simultaneous dub and as a rare exception for me I decided to watch it with that and what a blast it is. I just love Scarlets deadpan delivery and the cartoonishly evil prince XD

I'll be adding this one to my watchlist without further ado.

Girls who can fight and with blood in them always look really sexy and beautiful.

Haha, it reminds me a bit of Special A. Scarlet and Julius are the definition of match made in heaven lol.

What caught my attention was, I think the pink haired girl had a bigger role than just snatching Kyle from Scarlet. Even the ED is specifically for her.

Goddamn, I love how Scarlett finally snapped and had enough of the prince’s bullshit. Unfortunately, she had to take out on his new fiancé. It would’ve been so much better if she had put her anger where it belonged, but we all know that would’ve been the end of her miserable life. Thankfully, she takes no prisoners and I love that about her! All hail the queen of fists. This is her octagon and no one leaves without some love taps from her majesty! The mad dog princess is here!! 🥰🥰

Never mind, she went and did it! That must’ve felt so good!! 🤣🤣🤣

Being treated insanely unfairly and being told to just endure it, with 0 chance of liberation necessitates a blowup. hope this wont lead to no restrain and mindles slugfest going forward... thats not great lesson to learn.

Came in blind to this. Enjoyed this immensely. For a moment I thought I would be deprived of seeing her punch land on the bimbo that took her man and the cartoon villain of her fiancee.

So freaking satisfying😭❤️

Been a while since I last watched a villainess anime. Off the bat it has potential to be an all timer of those genre. I already love Scarlet so much. Just tolerating annoyance but exploding to an limit, quite relatable.

The son from same bloodline this much difference is wild. One is literal trash and idiot and other is an intresting animal. I am really liking their chemistry already.
But this girl alone is enough..

She ate and left no crumbs. First of all love how she was narrating to us breaking the 4th wall.




What a satisfying unleash of her fury after all that she endured. Put that snarky clown of a prince kyle and his bitch of a lover "fiance" in their places.
Also fuck those nobles (kyles supporters rather) as well standing there and clapping their asses off. Especially that one mf who was ready to trade his wife for protection wtf. Then there were those slave traders, all scum bags no wonder they are under the douchebag kyle.

I like Julius and how he brings out the best in Scarlet pushing her to be better while also being mischevious and playful with her. Also when everyone calls her unlady like, hes the one complimenting her soft side & beautiful charms. Ahh my inner shipping side is giggling.Hes such a lovable interesting & entertaining fellow incomparison to his loser of a younger brother.




Anyways found a new best girl indeed and shes so gorgeous on top of that. You have have to be madman to cheat on such a divine blessing.
True Villainess has born indeed & a fitting name scarlet. :3



The art style is gorgeous down to every last detail and the apt animation to combine it with. Lidenfilms have done a great job again.

Great opening by Chico & Honeworks, recognized their style immediately. They always deliver especially in their romantic setting. ED was nice too & interesting, it had a chill but also a dark vibe to it especially with the visuals.. The singer did a good job on the vocals, first time listening to shiyui.
i would like to listen to their other works as well.

The first episode was really awesome and satisfying. Honestly, I was really annoyed with Scarlet's fiancé and his supporters, who were pigs for me because such an idiotic and corrupt people the most I hated or despised (That's why I call them "Pig").

In the middle first episode, I really annoyed by him but overall was the best episode that I watching!

Review 1st Episode:

Plot: 10/10
Character: 8.9/10
Pacing: 8.9/10
Gore: 7.5/10

they switched up the pacing from the manga, and while it makes sense to save the beatdown to the end of the episode i'm not a big fan of the corny fourth wall break to justify the flashback. That's largely a matter of personal preference though, as Scarlet's internal monologue can get pretty cheesy often.
other than that it's peak. i love watching scarlet punch people.

You know, it gets to a point... I mean, come on, right? Like sure, the usual trope but with a twist to it, ok, why not? But this level of ctrl c + ctrl v has got to be unprecedented. And I see the trend of making prince and new fiance dumber, crueler and more ridiculous each time has also not been abandoned.

Watching this I think reminded me why I dropped the manga in the first place. I hate the first prince. I feel like this is supposed to be about a strong woman that punches annoying men that get in her way. And yet. I know that this man is never going to get punched.

(It doesn’t help that I have now read plenty more stories with “strong” female leads where their male love interest constantly one ups them at every turn and those have become some of my most hated stories)

Scarlets response to her ex fiancee betraying her was the textbook response. Having clobbing evildoers with her fists is one hell of a hobby. Even as a child Kyle was a brat. Compared to him the crown prince fits the image of a royal much more seamlessly. The crown prince being the contrast to his idiotic younger bro through their morality sure was a nice way to define the two sides of the kingdom's nobility. The contest between Julius and Scarlet sure was fun. Still her pummeling of Kyle's supporters as she exited the ball was the best way to end her engagement. Overall an utterly cinema of an opening ep.

The visuals are what convinced me to start this show, especially since I’ve been feeling a bit burned out with the villainess genre lately. The story isn’t bad so far, at least from the first episode, but I’m not sure how it’ll progress from here. Julius and Scarlet are the only characters that really caught my attention, and I’m looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops.

It's still early days, and with so little information available, nothing is clear yet.
That said, describing her violent nature as "liking to hit people since childhood" lacks credibility.
Based on Episode 1 alone, it looks like nothing more than criminal behavior, so this aspect will need to be properly fleshed out going forward.

I'm loving this series so far; I just hope that the gimmick doesn't get old.

I have one nitpick: as a parent, I firmly believe that if Kyle's childhood bullying was truly that bad, Scarlet would have eventually lost her temper and beat the crap out of him. Even though she knows how high the stakes are, she would totally feel justified in punishing him.

Now that's taking out the trash.... It was very satisfying to see Scarlet beat up all those corrupt nobles, that damn pretender Tenezza, and the damn prince who had soured her life since she was little.

I'm not sure if the anime will develop a romantic subplot, as it seems to convey a strong message of empowerment, but honestly, that wouldn't be a bad direction either.

Solid start.

not gonna lie, when i first watched the trailer, I was like meh.

But then I saw a OP video and saw fantasy-like stuff. So I decide to watch the first episode. Now I like the anime. Would continue watching.
