Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte to Jikkyou no Endou-kun to Kaisetsu no Kobayashi-san

Broadcasting club member Shihono Kobayashi always gushes to her friend Aoto Endou about MagiKoi, an otome game where protagonist Fiene attends the Royal Academy of Magic. But despite the colorful cast, the one character Kobayashi is most obsessed with is the villainess Lieselotte Riefenstahl. Contrary to her rude remarks toward Fiene, Lieselotte longs to be her friend. Lieselotte is also deeply in love with her own fiancé, Prince Siegwald Fitzenhagen—the game's main love interest. Unfortunately, in almost every route, Lieselotte is doomed to a tragic end.

Kobayashi manages to convince Endou to play MagiKoi to practice his speaking skills. What begins as a normal playthrough turns extraordinary when Siegwald suddenly hears the players' voices inside the game! Now labeled as "gods," Endou and Kobayashi use their comments and analyses to save their beloved tsundere villainess from her fated demise.

This was a surprisingly fun take on the villainess show formula. It mixes it up by having players interact with the world instead of reincarnate into it, which initially gives the show some fun parody energy, and develops into some interesting dynamics later on. While it's not the deepest show around, the execution was pretty good. I laughed out loud many times, was surprised at the twists, and got invested in the romance.

The Japanese voice cast is pretty top-class too. Lots of iconic veterans here, putting in solid performances. The animation wasn't anything too special but they did more than the bare minimum so it ... didn't really hold the show back either.

It may still be sort of a filler show, but overall I'd rate it as binge-worthy and genuinely fun enough to be worth your time.

So what can I say?! There is no doubt that this anime is different. It really attracted me from the first episode and made me want to watch this anime until the end. And I saw... I can't really say that the story was boring, but sometimes I was embarrassed to see it 😂. But it was not bad at all. I like experiencing different stories. This is the main reason for my interest in watching anime. And now an otome game style story that is connected with the real world of anime and the characters of the ... real world can monitor and control the game world and even communicate with the game characters. I didn't really understand some relationships. But as I say, probably the only thing that attracted me to this anime was its different story that makes the viewer watch the end of the anime. I also liked Liz's character. The characters of the so-called Sondere are created to attract the attention of the viewer and to win their hearts. Anyway, let's move on to measuring the criteria. The story was different and not bad. The animation was tolerable. The sound was ok. And finally, the characterization was almost good. Overall, this anime was an interesting experience.

I swear we can't have romance without some gimmicky bulshit that ruins the story.

Characters feel like archetypes, well, otome game based anime so go figure, it's just too rigid of a story to justify the lack of anything happening, looking forward to the next episode was getting to be harder and harder every other episode because again, you can't build a story around the synopsis, you need something more, I swear I feel like a mindless drone tuning into these stories, the romance tag is misleading because romance is best executed with actions between the characters, an intimate moment, a display of true femininity or ... true masculinity, a slow motion display of affection, you know, the good ole show don't tell, but I swear it's just this guy thinking, oh my god, she is cute the entire run, mediocre, snooze, next.
