I preferred Catarina's design way better.
But her harem mates were obnoxious and insufferable.

I feel like My Next Life as a Villainess put more time into character development and backstory, so people could actually care about them at all. This show kind of just throws new characters in all over the place and none of them have much substance, or time to show why they’re interesting/important.

This one's much better than it, also not a freaking reverse harem.

Though I haven't watched my life as a villainess
But this one is good but at the same time it's like it's lacking something important

Overall i think My next life is better, but i enjoyed the romance and character of the mc in this one, imo Aileen is cuter and prettier than Catarina

I would rate first 4 episodes as much better than My Next Life as a Villainess. Unfortunately for me the rest of episodes (of I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss) are boring.

Yes for me. Don't get me wrong I love Hamefura too but Taming the Final Boss has a lot more stakes and I feel much more of an emotional connection between Aileen and Claude, which I didn't really feel with Catarina because of the reverse harem element and her total dense-ness. I find the lore a lot more interesting in this one and it's just more fun to watch, I'm really invested in the story, also Aileen is way prettier than Catarina and actually knows how to use her brain lol

Better romance, but My Next Life as a Villainess isn't so rushed in terms of plot developments. This show could have stood to only cover two arcs and it would have been better. Haven't seen the second season of My Next Life as a Villainess though.

I prefer My Next Life as a Villainess (Hamefura), but I'd say they are quite diffrent from each other.

Hamefura is mostly comedy, with a dense Mc and her bi-harem, slow, good character development and tons of chaotic "just for fun" plots.
I think it is executed quite well and succeeds in being good comedy. Most serious scenes are also either funny or shine with strong character development.

This one is has a smart mc who participates in various very (mostly too) fast paced adventures. And while Aileen is very well written and also brings some comedy to the show, most other characters are really shallow. It also features serious romance instead of harem.
The pacing, the lack of depth in both the story and every chraracter, except Aileen and Isaac, is what I dislike about this show. I'd still rate between 6-7 stars as of Episode 9, because Aileen is a great character and the first part of Arc 1 & 2 each were good.

other than both being villainess isekais, they dint have a lot in common. this one imo is better simply because it actually goes somewhere.

My life as a villainess is a better romcom series, this series is better at exploring the intrigue of trying to survive an Otome game as the villainess

Story-wise both are lacking a good story but Akuyaku is more interesting because the Fl likes to take action and acts like a detective, and she keeps finding opportunities to crossdress as a man which I found entertaining at first. The main issue is that she isn’t fooling anyone with her disguise. Characters-wise My Next Life as a Villainess have more lovable cast. Overall, I prefer My Next Life as a Villainess but Akuyaku isn’t too bad. I recommend reading the manga over the anime because the adaptation made it worse but you can do both with since the manga doesn’t cover the whole anime. the rest of the story is from the LN witch I didn’t like very much.

My Next life as a Villainess is better than this anime simple because, Taming the final boss feels rush and lack of any character development aside from the mains character.

I mean Hamefura kinda turned into a sterotypical otome game story after they grew up, so almost any other villainess story that moves the plot along would be more interesting tbh.

When I saw the title for the first time, I thought it to be a similar to My Next Life as a Villainess.

Sure the broad strokes are same but as I always say devil lies in the details. Both shows take a different approach & greatly justifies their approach.

I wouldn't say one show is better than another as both are equally good in their own respect. Even in other aspects (related to show production), I find both equally good.

I like both but this was definitely refreshing. They actually stuck to the idea of different routes and it was nice to have another person who had been reincarnated into this fantasy world of the game to bounce on off.

Imo alot better. I couldn't even finish the one with Katarina honestly. Her love interests were so obnoxious and the story overall just felt kinda boring..like I wasn't motivated to keep going xD on the other hand, I adoreeed this series. Claude is husbando af too.

This one is way better. The stakes are real and the writing is more consistent unlike with Bakarina where they forget that the plot of avoiding death flags exists so they add a lot of filler then suddenly tack it on last minute. The humor of that also got old quickly like do we need two episodes of characters being stuck in their fantasies?

my vote goes to this AkuLass. story and character wise. but the anime rush it soo bad it hard to connect to any of them... in that side Hamefura did it better.
i wish and dream for the Future where everyone i care can Smile happily from their heart. But no matter where i look. how ever i see... there s no me. im not there. Just like that.

Not really. They've really gotta start adapting the really good gem villainess manhwas because there are a lot of amazing stories.

I would say, this one is better for the story wise and characters. I have read the manga before, and the manga actually pretty good so i have to give it 7.8/10.

But for the anime version, i have to say its below my expectation maybe because the lack of animation.
