Damn, an elite school with social status and competitive atmosphere. Almost feels like Mia entered a new world but she's handling it well, at least on her terms.

There was some bath fan service and it seems we're getting an insight on what her daily life is like. Not going to lie, I still think Mia's personality is a main selling point in this anime.

Well it looks like she ended up in the place where people have to much vanity, luckily not all of them tho.
And it's funny that she is confused by her rivals having a good impression of her i guess helping out others has a lot of merit for her so hopefully she learned a things or two from this.
Maybe she can avoid the collapse of her kingdom this way, and her end at the guillotine.

I love that Mia is not some kind of idiot or genius. She have a plan and actually sound reason behind it. You can actually understand why she choose to avoiding Tiona and Sion, and her choosing Abel as a partner. It just that her reputation and charisma make people see her in way better light

So it was Mia's relentless bullying that ended up turning two powerful nobles against her even when she was still in school. Way to go to secure the fast route to execution. Still in the rerun that impressive speech of hers was a nice first move to remedy that even if it was unintended. The bath scene was a nice bonding moment between Mia and Anne. Given Rafina's saintly aura bribes would have had the opposite effect. If anything seems that Mia is locked in with having to encounter Sion and Tiona on a regular basis. Mia stepping in to save Abel from his babaric bro though was a cool moment.

This is so splendid and hilarious.
Most points of the jokes were nailed but that's mostly in the first half of the first third. The rest were somewhat lacking in impact or rushed or felt kind of unnatural. Nonetheless, Mia is still amusing in her own way.
She still has a long way to go though, a long, long way... because of her inner smugness. lol
But that's what I like about her.

P.S. Tiona's character looks interesting, and Rafina looks suspicious.

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.

I didn't expect the guillotine joke to be very effective, even if it appears so many times per episode.
This episodes bring a dozen of new character, I like the big brother guy though.

I'm not too sure how to feel about the current events.

I liked a lot the previous shenanigans of trying to patch up her life and trying to avoid conflict (hilariously backfiring). But now it feels like Mia is trying to unconciously make everyone fall in love with her. Now that just feels like discount Bakarina.

I will say, based on what I have seen of her past life thus far... being imprisoned and sentenced to death seems quite excessive. At least for now, it only seems like she was a spoiled brat and was terrible at ruling. Being thrown out of power surely would have been enough. I am curious to see if they show anything in her past life that makes her seem way worse.

I really appreciate their efforts to streamline the adaptation to make the best use of the limited time allocated, but this only serves as a reminder that reading the original light novels is still the best way to get the full Mia experience. Or maybe that's the point all along? Hah.

Cute bath scene. Censorship felt poorly done though it was distracting these too perfectly placed thick steam circles it just is distracting.

I like Anne's little inner thought process.

That seemed like a reasonable plan to get close to Abel. Though I do wonder if all Mia's efforts will backfire once someone realizes that she was using him.

Seems Mia is making a lot of connections in this school, particularly with those she didn't want to, but it seems she has already made a good impression on them, so maybe she unknowingly turned past enemies into allies.

I have found myself really looking forward to this show for the past couple weeks, might just be one of my favourites this season.

From ep1 to 3 is ok. They skip a lot of key scene in which on my opinion is crucial since it display how opportunistic and coward mia is. It felt like im watching a speedrun 😩. But i love the VA of each character and the BGM also those godlike structure visual.

@MarchinBunny What I personally find more interesting is we haven't had any flashbacks of Tiona or Sion visiting Mia while she was jailed. Which leads me to question how "Just" the two of them are despite their protrayals. We've seen how Mia was after being jailed for years, she was no longer the bully that Tiona remembers. Feels like a lapse in those two's character portrayals to continue supporting putting Mia to the guillotine. I'm really hoping we get some flashbacks of her while in jail interacting with Tiona or Sion to see what their real characters are like.

Probably really late to this discussion but since I clicked plus on the episode and it is asking for my thoughts I will just say I've been enjoying the series quite a bit so far. It's a fun take on similar otome type series trying to change the events of the future. Also love how everyone thinks Mia is a saint and not a dummy getting lucky LOL

Still keeps the upwards trend. Mia's "Mia first" personality also becomes more evident, and looking how everyone judged her in her previous life, I love to see her use them as puppets!

I'm glad she got Abel now and isn't forced to go with that pretentious prince.

Oh welp, Mia reaped what she sowed in regard to one girl: Tiona, the benevolence of Prince Sion and the one he favored the most, which she could play a part in her edging closer to the gullotine. And this time, Mia wants to do it right to treat Tiona as how she treated her loyal servant Anne and gets seen by everyone as the "Wisdom of the (Tearmoon) Empire". And from one girl to another, Rafina is also another upstanding daughter of Duke, though the fruits between each other in their past life isn't quite a pleasure.

The welcome ball for Mia to get a partner, he comes in the form of Abel Remno, the second princes and below would not be noticed much eitherway, but Mia still goes for the kill with Anne's advices. Yeah...the problem with that is that while Abel is a flirt, Sion has to pick up her handkerchief, and try as Mia might to avoid them both, she can't hide and got his invitation instead. What a dilemma, but Abel being pulled away by his older brother provides an escape route for Mia to see what's happening, and picks Abel as her dance partner, so either way, she got what she wanted in the first place.

Mia has had quite the number of PTSD episodes this time, though fixing each and every problem to avoid the guillotine, is a pure must.

This series seems to be a lot more funny to watch compared to other series that features "Otome game villainess" in order to avoid "death end".

.

And it's also quite interesting to watch how the Selfish Princess is slowly turning into a Saint, even tho her personality haven't really changed that much.

Also, I just realized all this seems to be possible due to Anne's last prayer before Mia got "chop chop", maybe the Gods did actually answered her.

EP 3

Its kinda weird how she only goes to academy at age 12?
Anyway lots of characters



Speaking of, its ep 3 but we still havent seen mia's family. oh well.
And that's the ep. really strange feeling.
So as expected we see a bunch of characters introduced, which is a lot considering its only ep 3. hard to tell.

Another okay episode.

The story would have been intriguing were it not for the constant, constant, constant over top reactions of the mc and her endless internal monologue explaining everything to death for her 5 year old audience. Another anime that declared a holy war against the timeless principle of show don't tell. Perhaps I'm not immature enough to appreciate such a hand-holding and spoon-feeding presentation that robs every grain of joy from the story.

Finally, for someone who spent more than 5 years in a prison only to be sent back in time to undue her mistakes her character took little to no change in outward behavior. Yes it is the body of a 12 year old (I'm guessing) but her mind is that of an 18 to 19 year old. How can we ignore such a blunder?
