Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo

Anime that focus on a character marked as the villainess in a Japanese Dating Simulator game, or a plot that follows a similar format in which the character is to be accused by the prince of some crime and then being executed, exiled, or simply dumped. In this kind of story, the villainess is made to reform, either through outside intervention, previewing a bad future, or someone else becoming the villainess herself. The subgenere has gained massive influence in the manga world on mixing Shoujou/Josei themes with Shounen/Seinen themes, meaning that there's often something for everyone whether it's comedy, intrigue, action, or romance.

Isekai (and videogame) anime with a female main character.

List of anime where the protagonist is reincarnated or reborn into a world based on an otome game, novel, etc, as the villainess destined to die. They then use their knowledge to try to escape that fate.

Common themes include: MC doing good things that the protagonist of the otome would have done, MC becoming loved/admired by all, and MC being oblivious to the love interests falling for them instead of protagonist.

For anime with multiple seasons, only the first season is included in this list.

Note: this list only includes anime that I have personally watched, plan to watch or have read the manga of.
