I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss

I had low expectations but was surprised how good the first episodes were. I did expect it to drop in quality but I have to admit it's a great TV series right up to its 12th episode. It's not perfect as it's filled with plot holes, but by golly it's entertaining nonetheless.

I suspect one reason why its so good is there are three main story-arcs all compressed into 123 episodes. This means there is almost no fillers and the plot progresses in a brisk manner. You are never bored, although when you are in the last main story-arc you do expect it to be a repeat of the 1st, thus may have less enthusiasm, but they do a reasonable twist at the end.

It is nothing special nothing really goes on it would be nice to binge it's one of those you can binge on a rainy day. The main character is a female who is nice to her family and to everyone. I don't get how she is villainous I did not see a lot of that at all. It has an older love interest in it if you are into that type of stuff. She needs him to go to a dance with her. The animation is good basing it off color I would personally not watch it fully but that is just me. It was nice to see a female strong and who can protect herself it is rare to see that in this type of anime it'd nothing special.

I liked this anime, it was nice to watch, nice pacing, nice story and interesting plot. However, the said-to-be Villainess was not evil. At least not real evil in my opinion. I did expect her to be true evil but it just feels like a switch of naming for the Hero as Villainess in the story. If you swap it, you basically have a normal anime story. Despite that it was still entertaining for the most part - until the last two episodes. These feel rushed and unpolished. The endfight did not satisfy my expectations; it was more of a stick fight with tons of plot armor and unnecessary lengthened. Other than that, I enjoyed watching.

It was very different compared to the other animes I've watched. The first episode pretty much explained the title and set the plot of the show. I kinda got bored throughout it but I forced myself to continue watching it. It was pretty simple for the most part, it's your typical anime. I think it could've had more entertaining parts to it. I was not expecting the parts in the anime to actually be in the show but I actually liked it. I wouldn't rewatch it, so it was definitely a one time thing. It was one of those animes that if that was the only thing to watch then I would pick that anime. Overall it just wasn't for me but I somewhat enjoyed it.

This isekai series is centred on Aileen Lauren d'Autriche, a woman who has been reincarnated into the world of a video game she once played. One day she gets the memories of her previous life back and realises her character is destined to die at the hands of demon lord Claude Jean Ellmeyer... she comes up with a plan to survive this fate; she will get him to fall in love with her! Inevitably she will face various challenges along the way.

I thought this was an okay but ultimately forgettable series. The title and general idea automatically brings to mind 'My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!'... which is unfortunate as that was a much better series. It started well enough, with early episodes that got be interested. Unfortunately as the story progressed it gripped me less and often I found my mind wandering. Perhaps it will be better now the whole series is out and one doesn't have to wait a week between episodes. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see but equally I wouldn't say it was terrible; if you are a fan of the genre try a few episodes and see what you think.
