| Well I’ve dug myself too deep now so you know I can’t not check out the Otome Game/Romance Fantasy show of the season lol, last season’s Raeliana was a pretty good one and so far I’m liking this one quite a bit. Right off the bat I’m heavily reminded of “My Next Life as a Villainess” and I’ve heard that show is a parody of this genre but it was the first one to get adapted so I always find myself comparing it to whatever the current one is lol. This one seems to be a lot more serious, our MC Pride has done some fucked up shit in the game she’s actually from and post reincarnation she’s now desperately trying to keep things from going that way again, and it seems she’s already doing a great job so I don’t think there should be big problems there. I also really like her design, the hairstyle and the red hair are very nice, the OP also slapped so I’m really looking forward to that ED now, these types of shows usually have amazing EDs lol. And lastly, the OG truck-kun is back in business, good to see you again old pal lol. |
uncleqrow said: fair but I do wish studios tried something new, there are gems but they are rareunabomb said: I don't understand why these literally AI generated isekai stories based on the same template get made in bulk every season keep getting made, they surely don't make profit, right? RIGHT? I mean who watches this. Is sacrificing a good story with great characters less profitable than just mass producing the same garbage every season? I don't get it, how can quantity overcome quality in anime. Well, trust me this, Man, there're A LOT more where it came from, just waiting to be adapted. And we're not even talking about the Korean and Chinese bootleg ones (which pretty much more than quintuple the number). Some are trashy (like REALLY TRASHY. Just look at the vending machine one. There is another similar one about isekai'd into magic onsen as well), some decent (i.e. Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami, Isekai Cafe o Kaiten, etc), and in very rare cases we may find gems buried deep within (we are talking about Honzuki no Gekokujou, Hajimari no Mahoutsukai, Kumo Desu ga Nani ka, Youjo Senki, etc). They're there because the markets are there... Unlike many western media that went for international recognitions, most japanese media are made by-and-for japanese ONLY, without care much about the opinions of people abroad. Which was why so many of japanese games, LN, and manga doesn't have official translations (just look at Atelier series, despite it's popularity worldwide, the first 3 title in the series are yet to have official english localization). Titles like this are popular in japan, it doesn't matter whether the world except them, the japanese does, and it's all that matters for them. Regarding the negative opinion on the title, I mean it's an isekai title, a villainess-isekai at that, whaddya expect really.... I can't say much more about this title without spoiling anything (I don't read the LN, but I did read the manga at least), but I actually like this title more rather than most other villainess isekai out there (even more than Hamefura). Ofc it wasn't as good as Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami, but still, Pryde is still considered as an intellectual prodigy (if you stick long enough with the anime you'll find out why soon) who has strong character, self-sufficient and crafty, with great leadership qualities, which made this title a somewhat fresh take on the usual Mary Sue-Cinderella-esque villainess isekai (where the villainess just sit and wait as the love interests save them everytime). However, if you really wan't another fun villainess-isekai, there's Watashi no Oshi wa Koushaku Reijou just right around the corner. I mean, how often do you see a villainess-isekai but yuri.... It does sure look fresh doesn't it!? |
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. |
| It's a bit off-putting that she feels so strongly about things that she has never done and only happened in the game, but this is a fine start. Nice move with giving her a premonition ability, makes it easier to explain how she knows things and why she does what she does. |
  |
| Great animation and finally—yes, I finally get to see another red-haired girl as the main MC. (I dearly miss Shana). Anyway, I hope I get to see more of their childhood days before growing up into more or less of a teenager (around 10~15 years old) for the next episodes, the time gap would kill the fun out of this series IF IT EVER HAPPENS!!! (That is one of the trope or whatever you call it, I mostly hate in a series.) This will probably become something like "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom" or hoping that the story telling could be greater than that. I'm expecting more from this series. For now, lets watch and see. P.S. Please make Princess Pride act more natural. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| With what happened in the game, this is darker than I thought that. |
 |
| Not bad. A little too much like Otome Game. If she plants vegetables next week, I'm done. |
| this plot has been milked dry lol. |
 |
| an okay start I guess. I kinda enjoy this latest trend of villainess shows but I'm still hoping to see a show where the "villainess" actually acts like one. Like, if Pride actually stuck to the original storyline of the game and actually made Stale kill his mother - that would be really interesting. But the way the show started, it's just average. |

No, but what I would want to see is the "original" person recovering their past memories in another life, without it being about that past self reincarnating into the "original". So, make it so the real villainess has to bullshit their way through avoiding a bad ending, and maybe in the process of receiving those memories, and having to play the part of a good person, just maybe it will actually reform her evil ways. Since, as these stories currently are, they really have little to do with a "villainess" in terms of the story. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Nothing much to say; another formulaic isekai with the female MC being reincarnated as the villain. I love it, though, so I am not complaining—a severe contrast between in-game Pride and the reincarnated Pride, which kept watching and piqued my interest. I would play that Otome game with the dark, atrocious Pride. I'll be here next week. Great ed song! |
 |
| Overall enjoyable, I'm looking forward to the future episodes Unfortunately, it was a bit overdramatic for me because I've watched and read other villainess stories that executed the bad to good troupe better so this execution felt a little cringy or embarrassing, especially when she suddenly started her outburst. I think they could have built upon that a little better. Instead of giving us her inner monologue where she regrets what she did show us how she mistreated the maids so the scene would feel all the more brutal and impactful rather than a 180 degree turn. |

| It's really fucked up when you think about an 8 year old getting a 7 year old to stab their mother to death. Though I don't get why she's acting guilty when she hasn't done any of those things in actuality, unless she's afraid she will start becoming like the character she became which seems to be the case perhaps. I have to assume Pride isn't the only harmful character in this world which is the only way any conflict could arise being that this Pride has no interest in being a bad person. |
| So is it just me or is it obvious that Gilbert is the evil boss? |
traed said: The author has kind of made her believe that she literally is Pride, and since she has Pride's memories of being an evil child, remembering the events from the game is making her feel like those are real, and that she would have actually done them if she didn't "recover her memories" from the past life she lived. So, she takes everything personally as if she is the same evil Pride that committed horrible atrocities. I'm pretty sure that logic doesn't add up, but it is what it is.It's really fucked up when you think about an 8 year old getting a 7 year old to stab their mother to death.

That would make sense in one way and not in another. That's how reincarnation in other media usually is depicted as being born having your own personality but that personality remembers past memories. Only thing to suggest otherwise is fact she's in a game world. |
| how da hell can someone be so evil at 8 years old? look at how cruel ingame Pride was ... even making the kid kill his mother... anyway, it really shouldn't be hard for her to change the future, she just needs to not be as mean as she was before i mean, she already changed many things and it's only been 1 episode (like saving her parents, earning the love of her servants instead of fear, not making Stale kill his mother, etc) that preview, both her and the sister are totally cute, damn |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
S1zu said: Feels generic somehow even though this is my first otome game anime. still isn't bad, I'm going to keep on watching it. really? now i'm curious how this can feel generic to someone who never watched an otome anime before i meaaaaan... while some parts of this remind me of other villainess anime i watched before, even then i wouldn't call this generic lol |
| fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Hehe, I remember reading this manga a long while ago. (did not finish reading) This one is slightly more interesting than the other Villainess, cause this one... starts out with the Villainess being actual evil to start with and the MC starts in the mid of it. Unlike most other ones that are either Tsunderes or start the story from the beginning where the Villainess wasn't evil to start with (not within the new reincarnated timeline where everyone doesn't have previous knowledge unless they're also reincarnated or told). . This one has more "feeling" since the MC knows exactly how evil the OG Villainess truly is from birth (whereas the other series the villainess being misunderstood by others then viewed or turned evil afterwards or just "I bully the Protag of the otome series") (this series' OG Villainess literally kills maids for fun) . So while the plot is similar to other Villainess (stop the bad end) The setting has more emotion in this series, so it's not going to be just 'fun and game" adventure |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| I was really looking forward to this one.. But now after having seen the first Episode all I could think of was "out of all the Reincarnation + Villainess Stories.... they chose THIS one?" Maybe it was the pacing? I honestly have no idea but something about this just annoyed me and I couldn't get into it at all. |
"You think your power has limits, I say it's limitless." |
| I read several comments here & i agree that it's weird to feel guilty + trying to atone over a fictional character's evil deed, even if you're reincarnated into her.. especially because you remembered that it's all just a game in your original world. You're fully aware that her atrocities are just fiction, so why you're crying head over heels for it? NONSENSE! |

| A great start. I love the voice actor for the MC. The names are a bit unique, Pride and Stale. I'm curious what the other harem members are called. I can already tell I'm gonna like this a lot. Honestly might like it more than All Flags Lead to Doom cause I like this MC more than Katarina so far. Katarinas a bit too ditzy for me. I like the more serious MC here. Also, is it bad to say that I really like the orignal Pride? Idk theres just something about listening to that stereotypical villainess voice saying those lines with that smug expression thats really satisfying. Of course the making him kill his own mother part was dark but until that point she was pretty nice. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| i'm not liking the way this otome country's leaders and how they treat people. no wonder pride was a spoiled brat lol |
       |
| Let's go Truck-kun, the real savior of this anime as always. |
 |
| Why is this isekai anime so underrated? //I think this is because I haven't watched many isekai anime and found this one interesting.// The first episode is so good and has an interesting plot! I already love all the characters, especially Pride and Stale <3 |

| This was boring not gonna lie first impressions are not great it started with generic-Isekai-death.mp4 (the return of Truck-kun is great) No character building of her past they didn't even bother showing us her eyes. At least try to convince us that it's not important otherwise it's lame unless you do some mental gymnastics on us. And watching the MC made me think. What a fkin crybaby like: Oh no! In the game that killed them! How horrible! Naturally, because I'm in this game world now and I am now the evildoer who did those things in that game. I am now responsible for the deaths that occurred in that game thanks to a game developer hiding in the mother's basement predetermining it while no actual death has happened yet!!! |
| another anime paste on Otome game, not 100% but ferry similar lol |

| Princess Pride is sure carrying a lot of guilt for her original self's actions. I can already see how the original game was set up for a romantic dating sim, if they killed off both parents instantly and kidnapped kids to force them to live with you! Stuff like that only happens in fan fiction and dating sims. |
 |
| pretty standard otome isekai start. having seen a few of these already now i kinda want to see one where the mc doesnt turn into the nicest girl in the world but would instead do all the horrible things and then use her knowledge of the game to make sure no one would come in her way. that ed was good |
