I do have a soft spot for the /I got Isekaied into an Otome game as the villainess/ which is apparently a genre now. Thing is they tend to be rather bad as they insist on following the well traveled path of generic-ness.

Just watched the first two episodes of Bureaucrat and I love the concept. An Older Otaku dad who vaguely knows the game but is aware of the tropes enough to not be completely clueless.

Looking at you (Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!)

It explains why he's not cheesing the game from the word go AND his high etiquette knowledge. Also I'm not going to lie the references do if for me, I'm old XD

I want to know what others think of the show. Am I weird for liking it?

It's really fun..I'm enjoying it as well. I thought this show would end up being a creepy one but Ojisan turned to be a respectable person.

@Niwaka_Samurai

Yeah I like that his character can be boiled down to "dad salaryman". He's seeing the other characters as children rather than romance options.

Not one bit. Plus the OP is interesting and that ED is straight FIRE.

I watch villainess shows because it's a guilty pleasure and this one is easily on trajectory to be the top of the genre absolutely adoring this series

No, you're only weird for acting like you're above this type of show to begin with.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Nah, you ain't weird bro. The concept of story in this anime is kinda unique. Holy crap, this is better than Isekai Ojisan. I mean, that old guy just walked home as usual and Isekai'd as a Villainess. Not a great show in my opinion, but it's still worth to watch it.

If it's weird to like this anime, I'm better off being labeled as a weirdo then. Totally worth it to watch.

I agree. akuyaku reijou trope has become more and more generic eventually there are only very few that really stands out like this show.

the previous show i like enough to remember until now =

I personally thought this show had the best first episode of the season, followed by a very good second episode, I like it a lot so far :)

I’m loving this show. It’s so wholesome with no creepy vibes.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

I thought I would've been weirded out by this too (especially since I tried watching a series that aired few seasons ago where the elderly couple turned young again and was weirded out by it despite trying to like it)

But the fact this dad is totally cool (otaku dad ftw) and doesn't approach it at weird angles (like he's totally accepting/understanding about how otome games work with the routes & flags etc.) it's really enjoyable to watch.

+1 for the "weirdo bandwagon" if there is one then. I'll happily get on it.

Not weird in the least. After sweeping off the chaff of the season and ending up with 11 to continue watching out of the dozens I checked out, this has turned out to be my surprise favorite of new shows airing (Apothecary Diaries tops the continuing shows list).

Yet another Villainess anime, but the execution with the mc being an extremely likeable otaku salaryman dad, well, it's just amusing and charming.

Nah, you're not the only one. Like yourself I watched Bakarina, a few other Otome animes & reverse harem animes, but this one for some reason is on a slightly higher level. It certainly isn't the animation; so for me at least it's written better than the others. Each episode has only gotten better.

I have a soft spot for the villainess archetype in general, and on top of that it's 100% drag with all the camp and I'm here for it!

Weird start-setting for a villianess anime.

Never would I have imagine a cute girl is previously a balding old man...

Imagine if you somehow know the cute girl you've been dating used to be a bald old man, what would you do? LOL

(also, Another Truck-kun incident)

(and... I wonder if he "enjoys" his newly found body... LOL)

.

(not to mention "you know what" pics that's going to spawn from this series, extra weirdness)

Why wouldn’t you unironically like it? Did you think the scores were ironic or people praising it were trolling?

You're overthinking too much, this show is unique for isekai/villainess themes. Even if you like generic isekai/villainess, what's wrong about it, each person has different taste. Just enjoy what u like
