Yarinaoshi Reijou wa Ryuutei Heika wo Kouryakuchuu

Jill Savelle—fiancée of the crown prince Gerald der Kratos and known as the "Lady Goddess of War"—is being hunted down by the same country she swore to protect. Betrayed by her betrothed, she is framed as a traitor and imprisoned. In her last moments, Jill is filled with regret, but just as death approaches, she awakens six years in the past. This time, she will not be a mere pawn.

Now as a 10-year-old girl, Jill resolves to escape her imminent engagement to the prince. To this end, she jokingly professes her love to the 19-year-old dragon emperor Hadis Teos Rave, who will one day stain the land in blood due to madness. But against all expectations, he accepts!

In contrast to the tyrant from Jill's memories, the Hadis of this time is a kind albeit unfortunate emperor. Can Jill prevent Hadis from descending down the same dark, villainous road, or is he bound to an inevitable future?

Ok, I will start with how good this show is, and only then address The Problem.

The show is extremely good, and undoubtedly is a hidden gem that is lost because of unnecessary Puritan nagging! A lot of time has passed since I've watched something that dynamic. Sometimes plot twists turn the tables by 180 degrees TWICE or even TRICE a minute! The action is just breathtaking, and the authors don't think of the viewers as dummies, they say just enough to get what needs to be gotten. Sometimes I felt a need to rewind a scene, and I felt that it was not because of ... the lack of details but because of the lack of attention. And I am grateful to the creators for respecting me that much and for the abstinence from overexplaining. Partially, that is the same genre as One Punch Man or Overlord, but even here it makes the job better! Because, besides the sweet feeling that the Emperor will always crush his enemies, you still have a whole lot to worry about. Jill is still struggling, and yet, your and her main worry is that the Emperor becomes a bad guy. This ultrahero anime made the same thing The Eminence in Shadow did, but saw it through to the end!

And guess what? Just when you start getting tired of action, this anime gives you an opportunity to rest! It brings you quite a good comedy break for around one episode. It's not a masterpiece comedy, but just enough, no, I'd say just perfect to catch your breath and be ready for new vertiginous adventures!

Now, let me tell you my two words about the 'relationships problem'. The main characters certainly didn't have physical closeness. The idea was not to seduce a child, but to nurture relationships emotionally, preparing for the future life. I get it that people are triggered. And I love how they were triggered, because by breaking contemporary stereotypes, sometimes you find something correct. I truly believe that their relationships are an ideal example of how young lads and ladies should make an engagement, foreshadowed by the good, and not the bad, examples of historical contract marriages.
As one of the commentators already mentioned, please seek Therapy if you had immoral feelings during the watch.

Mixed Feelings

A solid premise for a fantasy series, perfect for those who enjoy stories of reincarnation and do-overs.

Reincarnation, time travel, and other similar tropes are some of my favorites. This anime comes so close to hitting the mark on what i want from a fantasy series. it has just the right amount of world building that makes the environment and people feel real without sounding like a textbook. The magic system is interesting; I love that dragons were included as something other than violent monsters. In this anime they are beings of logic and royalty--as they should be.

For all the positives though, there is a major ... negative that is constantly hanging over your head while you watch: Jill is 10 years old and Hadis is 19. There is nothing comfortable about a 10-year-old being in a romantic relationship. it could be reasoned by saying it's "period accurate" or "Jill is mentally 16" but I think those are weak excuses. If the author wanted an age difference between the main couple (to allow characters to still call into Hadis' judgment for marrying a "child"), then why not make Hadis 30 and Jill 19? Still the same difference in age but not as creepy as a 10-year-old being married off. (There's also the brief mention of the incestual relationship between the prince and princess which is also distasteful but they don't elaborate on that so it's possible that's a misunderstanding...(I can only hope)).

interesting premise and semi-decent plot ruined by weird ages and character writing

this show honestly in plot wasn't awful. some of the characters were decently written and the premise was intriguing. the main problem is the plot trying to explain away a very much grown 19 year old man marrying a 10 year old. just disgusting no matter how you slice it. i understand the backstory and reasoning for it to be that way, however what reason does the author have to make it that way? there could've been literally any other requirement for the goddess to possess someone, and yet they chose anyone over 14. ... just seems wholly unnecessary to the story at large and sets the whole vibe of the story back quite a bit. whether or not Jill is mentally in the same age group is irrelevant given that no one knows she went back in time and even then, she was only 16 in her first run so that's still highly questionable. aside from that, the villains seemed almost cartoonishly evil and something just feels missing to me. overall, it could've been a good show but was immediately run into the ground by the writers taking a weird route with the ages.
