| The word "villainess" was so far only relevant at the beginning of the story. Not an anime classic "villainess" definition, as in an antagonist of a story, but just as in a "vile woman". Society of that period would paint you as a horrible person if your engagement is broken thinking you must have done something awful for that to happen. That's it. Rishe isn't a part of some novel or game or something else for her to actually be a villainess in that context anyway. At least the current novel story doesn't hint at anything like that happening or being the case. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| I've only seen the anime but I think a twist could be her role in whatever started the loops and possibly the war too But something like that might not happen |

@AnimeSrk In the first episode, they had the whole otome type scene. Where the prince denounced her for being evil to take up another bride. I honestly don't think she did anything bad. The prince wanted her out of the way for another woman, so he claimed she was abusing the other woman. I am kinda confused about her being a villainess she was framed.
| @Moppit Thank you for showing that some of us actually pay attention and follow the anime’s actual story and plot by watching the episodes. Most the questions on MAL are from people that don’t have a clue what is going on, because they watched the least amount of episodes possible or watched the whole series and didn’t follow anything at all. It is refreshing to have someone answer clearly. They will also attack the anime as bad, but I’m enjoying it. |
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 and judge each based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Seems like a lot of author's have figured it out, that this "villainess" subgenre sells, which is why we have an abundance of it lately, so they put it in the title and excuses it by fabricating some accusation against the protagonist and the prince being cartoonishly unlikable just so we would synpstise with Rishe. Still, after first episode the "villainess" in the title loses all meaning if it even had any. |

| I agree that villainess shouldn't really be in the title as Rishe isn't one in the way you'd expect, however I believe it in fact refers to her plan to live a lazy and indolent life, staying at home and doing as she pleases while not even allowing her husband to touch her. The fact that she invests huge amounts of time into trying to stop the war (and other interfering you'll see in later episodes) is an irony apparently lost on her! 😂 |

@ejleon I enjoy the air of mystery in the anime. Plus, Rishe has so far been a great protagonist. If it keeps up easily, it's my favorite anime this season.
| @Moppit • I would agree with you. This anime has been the one that peaked my interested the most. Another has been… Gekai Elise “Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp” |

| It's a common plotline in nearly all Otome Games. Where the Protagonist (female) meets Bishounens, and usually have a "high class" (male) that falls in love with the Protag, but 80% of the times in Otome, these males already have Girlfirends and thus they dump the GF in order to get with the Protag. And the Girlfriend in this case are the "villainess" As thus females that have been "dumped" in Otome games are called Villainess because they're "against the Protag", where the Protag are "good" in 90% Otome games. And the GFs that got dumped are "evil". Thus "Villainess" . So in this series, the random girl next to the Prince we saw at the beginning when the Prince dumped Rishe. That random Girl by Otome Games is the "Protag" (the good, the savior, the main character, etc etc). And Rishe is the "dumped GF" that will take revenge against the Prince and the random girl. (the evil, the darkness, the last boss, etc etc) But villainess series takes on a "reverse setting" where the Protag and GF's aspects are swapped around, thus making the GF the good, while the Protag the evil. (however some series makes both the good and friends) |

| I thought the same. I guess it was just that one part where she was framed as one. |
| Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick" Araragi: Then what should I call you? Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama. Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly. Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~ |
| Web-novels use long and descriptive if inaccurate titles to attract clicks, just like articles and videos do. In an online market competition for your readership is fierce. Akuyaku Reijou (villainess) is a common trope in these titles. |

| I don’t hate this genre necessarily as there are some good villainess anime, but don’t you think this genre is beat to death now? |

| @Animillion Actually... I would love to see one of these where the supposed "villainess" messes up so much in the beginning that she has a lot of work to get things going in her favor again. Bonus points if she doesn't fall for the stereotypical (dark/mysterious) male main character but for the male supporting character she always found annoying and hated for some reason. More points even if it has a shocking plot-twist. Don't get me wrong... I love this story in particular but they all follow the same pattern (which there is nothing wrong if you like stories like this) without trying something refreshing. Also the overpowered MC which is kind of overused at this point. At least in my opinion. But at least in Rishe's case it makes sense since it's her 7th attempt and if you didn't learn some skills along the way then I don't know but that would be a hopeless case. |
