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?

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

The animation quality is generally very smooth, especially during key moments such as romantic or comedic interactions. The character movements are fluid, especially during the chibi and slapstick comedy sequences. It never feels stiff or rushed, which keeps the tone light and engaging.

One of the most charming aspects of this anime is the frequent use of chibi forms for comedic effect. The transition between regular animation and chibi sequences is smooth, and the exaggerated expressions are playful and well-executed. The fluidity of these movements enhances the humor and adds a layer of adorableness to many scenes.

The character designs are clean and appealing, with outlines ... that are not too thick, giving a soft and polished look. This helps the characters feel lively and dynamic without being too harsh on the eyes. The color palettes used are vibrant yet harmonious, which complements the fantasy setting beautifully.

although the significant age gap between Catarina and some of her potential romantic interests. While it's not a central focus, and the story is largely lighthearted, the gap can feel a bit uncomfortable at times. It might not resonate with every viewer, so it’s something to consider when diving into the show’s romantic aspects...

Preliminary (7/12 eps)

A show with a lot of potential dismantled by a perplexing romance pairing.

This story centers around the protagonist - Jill - who starts off as sixteen, as her "beloved" crown prince sets out to kill her...and succeeds. Thus, she is reborn into her own life - brought back to when she was ten years old. I do really love these types of stories! In particular, 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

Watching a protagonist get to re-do their mistakes and make better choices is very appealing to watch - I mean who wouldn't love to get to ... do that with their own life?

However, despite this being a beloved trope of mine - this story didn't meet the potential it so very well could have. For me, at least.

Here's for the: WHY?

The biggest letdown for me was the age gap of the love pairing. While both characters, in their own right, were interesting, charming, and endearing - having Jiil (a ten-year-old) partnered romantically with Rave (a nineteen-year-old) made for uncomfortable story telling. Being perfectly candid.

Recently, there have been quite a few age-gap romance animes to come out, but this one is the most startling of all. For example - A Girl and her Guard Dog and I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History - to name a few. However, to give those shows credit, the female protagonists were at least teenagers.

Jill being ten for the remainder of the show as the love story progresses - for me - becomes increasingly more uncomfortable. Which, again, was disappointing as the story itself was truly an entertaining watch despite that element.

I know the summary of this story talks of their ages, so people should go into this expecting to get just that - but I truly thought that the writers were going to handle it differently.

How I envisioned it going was that when she was killed at sixteen, and thus reborn to being ten, she would propose to the Dragon King to avoid her perilous fate with the Crown Prince. But...then, after the proposal, they would progress the story back to her being sixteen and showing how different her life is her second time around.

She being sixteen also would have made a lot more sense regarding many of the plot points - aside from the romance. For instance, Jill is portrayed as being incredibly strong, but it's hard to imagine that a ten-year-old is as strong and powerful as she is. It would have been more believable to see her at sixteen with such immense powers. Also, she takes on a leadership role with military men that again - being a ten-year-old is hard to fathom...Would adult men really surrender to a ten-year-old's orders even with their capabilities? Unlikely.

Despite all that, as I said, the story was pretty fun even with the critiques.

As for a quick synopsis on the remainder of the show's elements - the art wasn't bad, but some of the recent romance animes have really been coming up with great stuff and this definitely doesn't uphold the standards they have set. Sound was fine, again, nothing overwhelming bad nor good.

As for whether I recommend this? I think it depends on what your comfort level is. If you can handle age gap stories, then by all means give it a try. But if you're similar to me, and it's not necessarily your cup of tea, then I would steer clear.

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

this is so bad, i felt obliged to write my first review

the special effects and the cinematic scenes is great, but the animation is simple. the character designs are generic, but the polish is good. it looks good enough as a whole with the slight thickness of character outlines, a stylistic choice similar to critically acclaimed Kimetsu no Yaiba. the side-characters' backstories have great potential. i personally enjoy op protagonists, and their contrast with mediocre side-characters, but both lead characters are way overpowered by birthright that it's lame

the antagonist is too overconfident and terrorizing to both of the lead characters for how powerless he is ... despite losing face and getting his az kicked countless times, showing only rage, and neither sign of fear nor shame; they gave him the plot armor of a protagonist. his obsession with the female lead is also obnoxious and makes no sense

the female lead feels like she juggles personalities so abruptly like multiple ghosts possessing her and fighting over her body. it's also very unsettling to hear all the cheesy, cringe, somewhat flirty dialogues between a rather young girl even by medieval anime standards, and a male lead with an "i can fix him" mental fragility and the rationality of a man-child. both their personalities cater well to western "modern audiences." anyone who thought this was good should send an application to Ubislop.

the plot is needlessly overcomplex, and even more so with the haphazard pacing and storytelling. it was hard to tell, but this is the worst thing i've ever seen in either shojo or reincarnation genre, and im just as stupid for taking 6 episodes to realize i was being baited something good was actually going to happen

this tried to cast such a wide net that it saved all the fish in the ocean by catching all the garbage
