Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion

I surprisingly really enjoyed this anime. I wasn't expecting much from it since it was an isekai from a completely new studio. But the Manhwa had a great rating so I gave it a try.

First of all, I think this isn't really like your other isekai adventure stories. The protagonist dies in her world and reincarnates as a side character of a novel she has already read. So, I found this plot very intriguing. That's what this anime was mainly about - the story. There are some nice things set up for future seasons and I think there might be some more plot twists ahead.

The pace is slow, but I don't mind it. I wouldn't mind seeing a slow pace in a good story, with some good characters.

Now, how's the romance? Very good. I'm surprised by how many good romances there are in Spring 2023. Usually, we hardly even get one. Noah and Raeliana are just adorable together. Their interactions are so entertaining to watch, funny yet cute at the same time.

Raeliana was a great character to root for. She was very smart and savage, but she showed different sides of herself when she was with Noah. I love how she dealt with various situations, using her witty words and intellect. But Noah too, was a great character, and it was fun to see different sides of him as well, with Raeliana. It was always fun to see him tease Raeliana given how much of a no-nonsense character he usually is.

I've read some criticisms about the animation, but I actually thought it was gorgeous. Especially for a new studio, this was very much above par. The opening and ending sequences were great, so was the soundtrack .

I liked how they portrayed the overall theme of survival and faith, because it played a major role in Raeliana's character story.

Overall, I enjoyed this anime. It might have been a bit too slow, but overall it's a good enough story to have a slow pace. That being said, this show should get a 2nd season. Because there are so many things set up in the story that it'll make no sense if it doesn't.

This anime was really good, I love reading manhwas with similar storylines like villains are destined to die and the remarried empress. Although not exactly alike, they have similarities that's are awesome. I expected for this anime to be fine but it was actually really good and I found myself laughing A lot. My mom doesn't like anime much but she started watching it with me and was laughing and super into it so that's a really good sign. We binged this in a day, I'm sad that there's only 12 episodes cuz it was such a good anime, at first it's slightly confusing but once she gets to the dukes mansion the storyline is much easier to follow and it's very cute. The clique romance scenes of him kissing her hand and such were actually cute and not weird and awkward like how they usually are in ever other anime, so it's a cute anime that people should really watch :)

This is actually an intriguing anime. It starts off mysterious and game like but has a simple comedic quality that pushes it along. Normally you'd think it would be relying on the comedy too much but the way they have written the story it just flows right along with it. The visuals especially with the clothing detail is breath taking. The characters start out very well. You get good detail on them or at least a sense of who they are but in a way that doesn't break off from the story.

However just after half way that just stops. The last few episodes are more like a hurry to the edge and then it just ends.

The main question of how she got there and why isn't answered, how the main story plot is resolved and actually ends, the explanation of the newer supporting characters and why they are even there at all.

If they spent 12 more episodes on finishing the plot, merging in these new characters, answering the lingering questions and actually ending the story line it would have easily been a 10/10. However they didn't so 6/10.

A tale based on a down to earth, stubborn woman and a playful yet aloof gentle(ish)man. I'm trying to keep away from spoilers but I love the running question of what fate is. A curse that cannot be escaped or a thread you can drag to your destination kicking and screaming?

The snarky young lady is reincarnated in a meek woman's place she knows is destined to die from murder and is trying to live by dancing through her death flags and seeks the initially reluctant aid of her friends future husband- the books male lead. Surprise; isakai. Will her fate snap her up or will she outlive her previous self in this new world full of monsters? There are also actual monsters too.

Next season please.

I binge-watched the first few episodes and they were splendid and I had to actually find the original manga to quench my curiosity. The concept of this anime was very unique and I really enjoyed how well each character has been given story-development but most importantly the main characters share a fantastic chemistry and the anime does not specifically focus on just one of them primarily which is the best catch. Besides the plot I really liked the comical scenes as well. I do hope that the anime will do justice to some of the other characters that just showed up near the climax of the manga. Hope the anime will emphasize on those characters more like the Goddess, Vivian and especially Beatrice, also please create some character for Justin he doesn't deserve to be ditched so many times. Over-all very great anime and I hope they add a little bit more content to fill in the little gaps. You will not be disappointed.
