It's goofy and great, but I'm as old as Kenzaburou, so YMMV.
| @yasashii_akuma Did you also got a critical hit from the daughter's words about the references? (TwT) |

That was a pretty strong first episode, I laughed a lot. My main concern going forward is if the show can keep up that level of enjoyment. I can see it being the type where it gets kind of repetitive the longer it goes on for.
| @deltahalo241 I read the manga so I can guarantee the story, about the "adaptation" part… I'm crossing my fingers to not get another Shinka no Mi. |

Daviljoe193 said: Well that was the fastest "Oh fuck, I'm about to get isekaied" scenes I've ever seen. Four seconds. Also WHY IS THIS ANIME ACTUALLY SO FUN?!  Yes, almost everyone seems to be loving this so far. The first episode was a real surprise—nobody expected it to be this good. The premise was interesting, but the execution exceeded expectations. It’s one of the best openings I’ve seen in a while. I’m looking forward to more. If they can keep the momentum going, this show is going to be awesome. |
| Anime where the protagonist is a middle-aged man is becoming more common (and I’m all for it—maybe because I’m nearing that age myself), but reincarnating as a girl in an otome game? That’s definitely something I hadn’t heard of before. It was more entertaining than I expected, with a great OP and ED. However, judging by Anna’s reactions, I’m unsure where the romantic routes in the game will lead now. Honestly, I hope it doesn’t go too far in that direction—it’d feel a bit odd. Still, it’s a strong start, and this anime looks promising! |

Mikarin_Enjoyer said: "view jacked-man" Maybe intended as a play on words for “Hugh Jackman” ? As far as recommendations, not sure if it’s the vibe you’re looking for but ‘Tis Time for “Torture”, Princess is another comedy that has “villains” that are surprisingly nice/wholesome (including a Demon Lord who is a doting father & loving husband). https://myanimelist.net/anime/55774/Himesama_Goumon_no_Jikan_desu |

| Is the "Elegance cheat" an actual thing (in that: is the "world" actually tweaking his manners to fit the situation)? Or he knows exactly what to say etc. and he just gave it a fancy name. That minor difference in possible nuance is bugging me a bit (on whether there is a "system" at play here or not and/or whether it's an actually "isekai skill" if you know what I mean) but otherwise I think I was actually smiling the whole episode -like without realizing it. Also, as cute as it is to see how well she's getting along with the heroine I am more curious about her interactions going forward with the "potential targets" and/or fiance....his reaction was kind of well...neutral to her so far? Which...I dunno...I have a big "that's it?" reaction on my face.. Lastly, LOL that ED with the two singing is cute, albeit the song itself is well...not my cup of tea. Need more eps now...guuuuuh... |

I was so disappointed that the old fart not acted up as the villainess even a bit. The show looks awfully similar to ILTV, starting from the uniform, vilainess, and the otome main character (similar look to Pipi Barlier). Wonder how long the show could ride along the gimmick of being proper elegant lady, giving wisdom and charming people before that one joke running dry. At least he managed to unlock yuri route? It wouldn't be funny at all if the only thing he do is just being his old man self without ever getting into the villainess character or getting into much serious story. The characters that are introduced so far aren't even that good. Second dropped for this year. |

| I'm pretty hyped after watching this episode. I liked it a lot and although the villainess reincarnation plot is pretty typical, I think having an old man be reincarnated is pretty charming. |
 |
| I found the manga quite fun to read, and this adaptation is a rather good one. It sticks to the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour and the animation, voice acting and direction are good. Going to watch this one. |
| Hm... I'm not too familiar with this genre. Closest thing to this I've watched is probably Tearmoon Empire. I liked at least the first half of that as Mia's self-serving actions coincidentally make the other characters like her more. I thought the older man in this one would have more trouble adapting to life as a teenager, although perhaps them being well-mannered noble teenagers makes it just a little easier. Still, that "elegance cheat" seems to make it too easy. This is probably just me, but the role I think of when one brings up voice actress Mao, is the perpetually hungry princess Pecorine... and here, Grace takes just a few small items on her plate. xD Anna's voice sounds closer to Pecorine's, but I guess having more than one voice is just baseline skill for a voice actress. |
| I thought this would be another mid isekai slop. After the first episode, it's unexpectedly good. The animation isn't like your average low budget isekai, and the voice acting is pretty good. |
| as a translator of the manga version, the adaptation is beyond my expectations hope that the quality is consistent until the end |

| We eating good tonight. |
| First time i've seen the MC in a reincarnation youngerthan himself doesn't immediatly get the horns and starts doing some indirect-pedo shit. Good change. |
| . |
| kinda funny, am wondering if he gets with a dude as a dude in a womens body. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Okay, this was good~ Really enjoyed this first episode. Peculiar premise yet quite fun in its execution and gotta say I'm already loving this wholesome Kenzaburou dude. The moments with him thinking he's acting like a proper villainess by unconsciously giving dad advices are simply adorable. ED goes hard asf, btw. Also love Mao's voice acting for Grace. |
| I can't believe with a premise like this the episode completely avoided being creepy/sus. I found it pretty damn funny and entertaining actually. I don't know if it can continue to avoid the low-hanging fruit of perversion, but as long it does I will stick with it. |

Fairs doesn’t change anything about my point tho |

| Interesting and liked the villainess design |
 |
| I will just pretend it's Senator Armstrong who isekai'ed :P |

| Best isekai villainess otome anime yet! Cleanly done tropes, agreeable/good protagonist, comprehends itself as an isekai, and OP/ED are great. Middle Aged songs are great. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
Reply to Phoenixfalconer
@WaterMage ??? animation is average? this has some really good cuts this episode. i would say this is well above average
| @Phoenixfalconer lazy face animation without eyes. It felt odd to me. Some cuts are good tbf with those elegance cheat scenes. |
| I loved the first episode! 10/10 |
| "Hey, Pops. Are you winning?!" lol!!!!!!! |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
okay this was amazing. |

| Hard to decide what to do with this, the humor seems fine but didn't make me laugh, gonna put this on hold for now. |
| Kenzaburou was awesome and that ED was really fun. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| Anna entered the Grace route, affection level 3 already (and +1 perseverance stat too) She is going to fall for her real soon |
| bruh |

@ryzxgum 🤔🤔🤔 I mean ig, if that's really all you watch anime for...
| @HeyoItsMateo if a typical villainess series has nothing else to offer then ofc the character designs have to be my last resort lmao. |
