Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari: Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story Episode 12 Discussion

honestly didnt hate it though mias behavior was annoying like i couldnt handle it
and the other people look like npc who just start talking and thinking too deep without saying the necessary words feels like some power from above helped mia

it was solid 7 for me till this final arc.

Still kinda pissed with "let spare the villain who could kill many ppl" in any anime with this BS ending/conclusion, So final is score 6/10...

A nice ending, but I'm mad they skipped the ending song twice. It was the best part of the entire show.


And with this I finally got around to finish perhaps the most forgettable show of the incredibly stacked Fall season. At first I hated it, then it got a lot better and then finished somewhere in between.

Mia herself is a nice main character. Not on the level of Bakarina (from Hamefura) or Mitsuha von Yamano (from Roukin), but she's funny and I enjoyed seeing the world warp around her as she tried to save her future in her very own way. The running gag of "Wisdom of the Empire" aka "Everyone interprets what Mia does as something brilliant" and the narrator were good comedy aswell.
The pacing was also decent for a Light Novel. A bit too slow, if anything.

In it's other categories, the show doesn't score so well.
The romance was okay. Mia living her fairy tale love was funny, but the love triangle was unnecessary. Especially as Sion is (or was) such a disagreeable character.
Which leads me to the general problem of the side characters not being any good. They are requisites for Mia's jokes, but were not treated appropriately. I did not care for any of them and if there were no good jokes coming it was a drag to watch.
The serious plot was average. The diary and later the plotting of Wind Crows was good, but the execution was lacking. There were no characters to back up a serious plot and I wish they had rather attempted a more gimmicky parody of a serious plot.

Good and bad aspects are well balanced for this show. 5/10.

@Shirowhite01

I watched it as seasonal for the first 5 episodes, kept going one by one for a few weeks and then finished the last 3 episodes at once. And for me, binge vs. weekly doesn't really affect how much I like characters.

@Bisalissy I see, in mybcase i thoroughly enjoyed the show the characters are pretty likable for me tho would've been better if Anne got more screentime her design in the anime really reminds me of Kaho from Blend S.

Tho tbh i felt like the romance aspect for Mia was utterly unnecessary, even without it she'll still be able to progress with her plans... In these types of anime i always find Romance to be a hindrance that ruins the flow of the plot.

I kind of like the misunderstandings and Mia's two-faced personality (i guess it's part of her charm). The misunderstandings surrounding Mia and her friends remind me a lot of Overlord like how Demiurge often thinks too deep and misunderstand Ainz's intentions.

@Shirowhite01 The misunderstandings and Mia being (not so) smart were really the best part of the show. I wish they had done more with this sort of comedy and just cut the romance stuff to a minimum ^^
