[Me before finishing the anime]
As of writing this, Netflix hasn't release all the episodes yet. I'm taking a break after episode 8.

I can't stop laughing! Not because it's funny! But the opposite. The unfunny is tickling my funny bone. I can't with this anime. What the actual fudge is going on. Though to be fair, one of my favorite part from this is the Grampa character, he thought that death's army was living under his roof. His historical plea to meet his wife from above.. that got me. I feel you Grampa, I also feel like dying having to watch this show.

Just when I thought ... a serious scene was coming up, another weirdo shows up! Like! AGHHHHHH. My spirit, it's turning me into a dried raisin.

Watching this anime feels like you're on edge worrying the FBI is gonna knock down your door and handcuff you. Of all the bad stuff I've done with my life, this anime in my watched list on Netflix is gonna be the crucial incriminating evidence that would send me behind bars for years.

It's just that bad. After they introduced that Sketchy Teacher character, I've learned to prepare myself for the next big weirdo that shows up. Gawd is it awful.

GAWD I need to cleanse my image of vampires pronto. Need to rewatch The Vampire Dies In No Time again for therapy after this is over. Wish me well on my recovery.

Let me clarify: it's gawd awful, but bearable to watch. Though you'll feel like your soul is slowly withering away. Weirdly enough. It's entertaining to watch, whenever the vampire has a 'surge' of 'love' for the boy, it definitely makes you turn your head away, leaving you with cringe and despair. This anime is all about a weirdo obsessed with virgins. That's it. All about virgins.

It's morally foul btw. You should be able to tell so just by reading this anime's description. That's enough to know what you'll get yourself into.

[Me after finishing the anime]
.. To be Continued ..

(start of synopsis, maybe)
FINALLY. An anime where they point out the sussyness of the so called 'Saint' powers. The usual plot of any typical anime, game, novel, etc, always makes out the 'Holy Saint' to be one that is powerful, extraordinary, and overly charming. 'Charm' itself is a psychological tool those with high emotional intelligence use. To manipulate, to control. Sincerity itself may be pure, but love and hate lives side by side. Only the person themselves can determine if their so called 'charm' is genuine or not.

And I love that that's what the Villainess's problem is with the Saint. The Villainess and The Saint. ... Both show a front that is sincere but only one is acceptable by sociatal standards. Having ideals for a better future is great, but preaching alone will do nothing. To take initiative, that takes such a great character.

What makes this anime a great watch is the fact rather than making the Saint the bad guy, this anime shows that to be in the shoes of one with high expectations can really mess a person's mind. The immaturity of their actions, without proper guide, the Saint is just a lost child, confused, scared, and alone. Due to the fear she has, without conscious her behavior impacts the lives around her. Even when she was worshiped, the loneliness never left for there is doubt.

That's where the Villainess comes in. Guiding her, teaching her, learning about the powers of the Saint. All while finding solutions for other issues that come along her way. She hides her caringness under the guise as favors that would benefit her. Her sillyness of trying to be the Villainess that goes down in history, might not be so bad afterall.
(end of synopsis)

I had problems with the early episodes of the anime. The major one being, she was 7! 12! when prince ikemen over there started really paying extra attention to her like um.. ok.. this is awkward.. I can at least understand the mental capacity they had for one another, and the fact the attraction is pure love for each others personality. And given the timeline and culture, I guess it's passable. Eventually, but especially in the last episode, Prince Ikemen really proved his love, and for me that gave me my blessings for them.

(but I condemn this in real life, no excuses)

Although the plot is as typical and similar as any other animes out there, I digress. I'm a simple person who enjoys even repetitive plots, as long as there is good writing that is worth my attention. This one was very enjoyable. The Villainess is very cool and her designs are very cute! Her companions are as lovely. In fact, as a Villainess we can't expect her to have too many companions that would be on her side, but I'm so glad they at least made one of her brothers who was on her side from early on. That honestly was a very nice touch.

We didn't get to learn much about other characters, there were some who definitely piqued my curiosity. For example characters that we know are charmed by the Saint, but some looked like they weren't charmed. It was never clarified. Like some of the Saint's Ikemens groupie.

The ending definitely left on a cliffhanger, I REALLY hope there will be more seasons. But if it takes too long I might as well start on the Manga soon!

Anyways! That's all I have to say. I really didn't expect this is how my review would turn out. Cause on the early episodes I was hellbent on calling out the Prince Ikemen's behavior lol. But after the last episode, I came in here asap and just started writing how I feel. And I feel such admiration for Alice-sama. May her Villainess route reach a happy ending that is deserved.

Take Care~ ☀️

How should I put this. Some people will enjoy it, some will not. To 'Recommended' is to have expectations that a series will sell well. Although I enjoyed this anime a lot, with a heavy heart I must rate this as 'mixed feelings' because I believe it will not be as popular as other high rating animes within the romance genre. Again, personally I ENJOYED it!

Based on the online reviews, I can see a lot of controversies regarding this anime, especially on the 'romance' and 'morals' aspects of it. So in my opinion, if you were to dive into this piece of artwork, you must ... enter with open eyes and prepare yourself as what you will be watching is not the typical heartwarming shouju romance. Treat it as pure entertainment, with bits of darkness that includes unethical morals. After all, this is fiction. In no way should a person believe any of the acts within the anime is permissible nor encouraged.

So please, I'll commit toaster bath if I see kids making thirst traps of these characters on TikTok cause I SWEAR TO GOD 💢

Why did I enjoy it?:
First of all, the Artstyle caught my attention. I was awed as I studied the artwork within the anime. It is indeed unique. It felt very familiar to me as it felt like I was reading Manwha (Korean Comic). The art is very similar! The intensity and dramatic effects depicted in the anime are common in Manwha, or at least the majority of what I have read. I think the Author's choice was brilliant! That's why the whole insanity, immensity, Yakuza intensity, paired with the art choice was brilliant.

Although.. would I consider this as 'dark anime'? Honestly, it's not that dark. The moral dilemmas are horrible nonetheless. But the violence is quite mediocre. To had introduced this as romance was probably a mistake, but then again it is centered around romance so can't really change the tags. If they had introduced this anime as Psychological Studies, would the anime garnered different opinions instead?

The chemistry or supposedly traditional drama surrounding yakuza culture is always an interesting topic to venture into. Especially for foreign viewers. We can't quite pinpoint which is reality and which is fiction. Perhaps the lack of understanding is exactly the cause of heat within the community.

The anime Characters? Personalities? Character Development? I'll quote above: Insanity, Immensity, Yakuza Intensity. As we ponder whether the male lead, who is not quite there in his head, is capable of love or is it infatuation? And the female lead who holds many mysteries (which I feel like I could guess the plot twists). The world of the Yakuza; Violence, Power, Obsession.

If you have similar taste in anime like mine, I really recommend it! But if you have a weak stomach, no need to give yourself an ulser. Anyways, take care and stay safe~!

If I could share my home screen picture widgets and keyboard wallpaper, that itself would have summed up on how I feel about Uramichi Oniisan. Uramichi-san, Marry Me.

Basically an anime about the daily life of a working class adult, but with a touch of realism (instead of the goofy comedy trope). You wake up, got to work, eat, go home. 5 times a week excluding weekends except the typical involuntary UNPAID overtime when the boss calls you up asking, which the answer will always be Yes, that he needs help.

"Ah for the company, it is our duty as a hard working employee to make ... sure the company prosper in good will!" as we exclaimed with our coworkers knowing the boss is listening in the background, while inside we are screaming wishing death to reap our souls.

(is this a review or am I just complaining about life?)

Well if you are a working civilian with similar habits as the characters, you will definitely enjoy the anime. Like hey, we all need a comfort show that can represent our frustrations towards work-life, this is it.

All-while the struggles to mask a smile while lying to our feelings. In order to not only please those we are working with but also the kids we are responsible to work with for the day. Dealing with stubborn co-workers or those who gossip behind our backs. The characters are amazing to put up such a front in the workplace.

Amazing? "We're just being professional, there's nothing to gloat about. It's all for survival in order to live in this society that cares more about representation rather than our feelings." is what Uramichi taught me :D And more about the true harsh reality of life is what he teaches the kids he works with. Although Uramichi is depressing most of the time, he admits the kids can be a shinning star in his mist. The rest of the characters he works with are as interesting, although sometimes they can be a bother, Uramichi is as caring as can be when dealing with them.

That's all from me. By the way the guy is RIPPED kyaaaaaaaa XD

"this guy is nothing more than a boring man that has nothing going on in his life except his obsession with working out 24/7" -Uramichi's coworkers last words

OhMyGah the last episode had me in tears! If the manga has a continuation for what will happen next then I am definitely buying it! Even when I was watching this anime, I was certain there were many chapters left out that I would probably had enjoy.

Not often I fangirl this hard for a ship! Although the anime is quite simple with common plots like many other animes out there, perhaps what captured my heart is it's calm and relaxed atmosphere. Perhaps I needed a break from all the intense drama, romance, battles, etc genre.

If you're looking for something calm and relaxing then definitely check ... this out. The battles, the drama, etc, doesn't consume a lot of energy. Fine for a chill evening.

OH MY GAH !
I saw this on YouTube and clicked it by random. I was with my younger sister. The anime started, in less than a minute I started 'guessing' the plot, the characters, the guest rooms. The Hotel between Life and Death.

I was SO CONFUSED as to how I knew these things that I kind of freaked out a bit. I couldn't find any other anime except this. Until I realised it's from a game! And that's when it clicked, I had spent my adolescence playing the game in awe and excitement. I really liked the concept of 'between life and death', although I ... don't remember much about the story anymore (nor do I remember if I finished it), I do know that my young self really enjoyed it.

And so I will definitely give this anime adaptation a try. I'm looking forward to it :)

Not to be dramatic, but I would DIE for XiaoMao. I'd die protecting her and let her use my corpse for her little experiments.

Usually, I would write a review from a general perspective; critiquing the art style, storytelling or the adaptation from manga to anime. I would consider whether the information presented in the anime is sufficient and engaging to reel newcomers to its original manga or novel. Yada yada all that boring stuff. Unbiased. But...

My apologies, but I am incapable of writing a general review as my current state is an emotional whirlwind-torn between the bitter sweet sadness of it ending and the overwhelming ... joy that the characters have left imprinted on my heart. Not often I find an anime where I would immediately decide that "this is the story that I'm going to follow for the rest of my life". This anime has brought joy into my life. I will forever be grateful for the author and will continue to support them for as long as the anime/manga's lifetime. Dear Hyuuga Natsu, Arigatou Gozaimasu.

This is a personal review. As someone who admires the richness of olden eras, particularly the opulent and culturally rich epochs of asian history. I would want nothing more than to enjoy watching anime that offers these types of genre. Not all is worth my attention, but this one did. Without spoilers nor context, this is all I'm writing. My expressed admiration. I love you MaoMao.

"Would you recommend this?"
I'm required to choose this. So I'll just choose Recommended. If you have similar taste as mine, people who enjoy learning about historical times; asian cuisine and medicine, comedy, mystery, drama, romance; then sure go for it. If this is way out of your original scope of taste in anime, it may not be for you. If you're not picky and enjoys anime of many sorts genre, sure this one's not bad. Either way, have a nice day~

I really like the concept of the anime. The plot was a story about a boy named Yukito who kinda got isekai'd into a world without Gods and Religions, no spiritual elements of life at all. He made that wish after being sacrificed to the gods by his own father's cult. Growing up without a will in his own life, as though he is dead, being nothing more than his father's puppet. Groomed into one day taking in his father's footsteps as the cult's leader.

He never got to actually live his life, so when he got isekai'd, that's when life finally began for him. Unfortunately ... a world without Gods and Religions seemed to be the cause of mankind's downfall. Those who feared Death were cast aside and labelled abnormal. While those who succumbed to the Emperor's rulings were deemed normal.

What is normal and what is abnormal? Such things can never truly have one definition only. It's a preference, a socio-cultural acceptance. In other words, we place our life in the hands of the Emperor to do as he wishes. Like zombies controlled under a mage's spell. Soon we learn even the council (Alcorns) who works under the Emperor, manages the kingdom, correcting those who misbehave, snatching away their desire and willpower, controlling their every move, Alcorns are tired with this kind of 'living'.

That's where Yukito comes in. Realising all this, he was forced into doing something he absolutely despise. Preaching. Starting from the people he first met, his friends. A village filled with abnormal people. Conflicted with his decision, disgusted with himself from time to time. Alas his father's teaching and the knowledge and trainings he gained from his previous life, were coming in handy. A preacher he became, in fact the most powerful tool for him. Is only something Akito himself can do to save the lives of those people. The lives of that country, the life of the world.

Akito was reincarnated into a world without Gods and Religions.

Was it a Blessing, or a Curse?

Ironic isn't it. That's all I have to say. I actually really enjoyed the dark lores in this. I just wish there was more. Not a lot shared on the surface of this anime. I mean how can it being borderline hentai? Too much fanservice. I'm not blaming it since it's targeted to those types of audience. But if you're here wondering if the lore is good. I'd say it's definitely good.

Personally, I just wish there was a clean version of this. Also, the 2D models adds its own unique pizazz into the anime, I liked it.

It's no exaggeration when I say this anime is AMAZING! And I'm so glad to see many positive reviews on this anime cause, we can all agree on this one! (No spoilers so listen up!~)
The concept of the main character being a non-heroin in her own shoujo story--- it's hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing! If I had to say what kept the promising plotline going; was the friendship dynamic between Anzu (MC) and Riri (Magic Wizard).

Although Anzu was originally hoax into being in a 'romantic highschool experience' by Riri, the introduction of the story wasn't all what it seems. I did express a bit ... of a.. disagreement with Riri's actions played throughout the episodes. But later on we would soon learn that those various romantic incidents and situations orchestrated by Riri had more thought put into planning and not just blindly taken light of. Riri is no human, they are a magical being. Therefore Riri does not possess any human emotions. That seems to be the case yet how is it that Riri is actually so good at their job? Is it the efforts of their studies on human emotions? Could it be their fascination and passion on human behavior? I believe although it started out as passion for work, after meeting Anzu, Riri soon developed a real connection with her. That is why I believe Riri's role in this anime was a crucial essence to the story.

The 3 ikemens introduced in Anzu's life weren't treated as mere puppets. They each have their own unique story which makes us see them as another human being rather than a potential love interest to the main character. We have Junta (childhood friend) and Koganei (rich kid) their screen time was sufficient enough for us to learn about their background story. The anime though focused more on Kazuki (pretty boy) cause his cased was quite heavy. Each of the boys has their own struggle, and Anzu (although was very against the idea of a romance) being the heroin in her story, was a brave, fearless, and caring person. A bit dense, without realizing, Anzu became an important part of their life; as well as hers.

And the one behind it all---! Was none other than Riri. Truth is, Love isn't something to be forced of. Not even magic can manipulate such feelings a human can have. So although at times I had thought Riri was the culprit behind every scene, they never forced or manipulated anything to happen. Riri only supported and provided every opportunity to Anzu to reach their goal as per contract. Which meant every action, every step that comes next is all depends on the person themselves. Riri could have used some other tricks up their sleeves, but they didn't. With that I sense such an admirable pride Riri has.
Funny enough the truth is I was on Anzu's side from the beginning. Every time Anzu and Riri would meet I would follow along Anzu and bash Riri as well. That is... until we reach the climax of the story.

Remember how I said Riri formed a deep connection with Anzu? Well that's Riri's character development. Riri already has a passion for human emotions, Anzu only helped Riri bring out those feelings they have. Which is exactly why Anzu and Riri's friendship dynamic was so entertaining to watch. The irony they have expressing hatred for each other, crushing each other's plans-- only to soon realize that's exactly how friendships are develop. The ending of the anime was truly lovely. I want season 2! As well as the manga~

I'm sorry if I mostly write about Riri. There's actually so much to say about the anime, but maybe I'll just go with this. Riri isn't exactly my favorite character, I guess I just have a deep respect for them. Maybe this is the start of Riri supremacy I'm feeling.... maybe...

Mari Yamazaki sensei. I have fallen for her.

I decided to watch this anime on a whim after finishing a Netflix series. I was expecting to learn about architecture and hot springs, and european influence. And I got what I expected. But I didn't know I'd enjoy it so much especially the small skits at the end of the anime on Mari Yamazaki sensei's take on hot springs; rediscovering Hot Spings ♨️

I thought it'd be a bore to watch an (11 episodes) anime all about hot springs, but not at all. It was quite enjoyable. Quite a great depiction of what living in Ancient Rome would ... have been like. You'd see Lucius (the main character) traveling through time from Ancient Rome to the early or late period of Japan; all in the sake to educate himself (and us the viewers) of how Hot Springs are in development.

Mari san uses the character Lucius to express herself by drawing reactions of Lucius, reacting to new experiences she discovers on her Journey to the Hot Springs.

It feels truly amazing for her to share her journey with us. I feel blessed because I get to witness these amazing historical places with her and her drawings. Thus the anime. I find it quite valuable to me.

Whatever journey she wishes to venture into next, I hope she takes us along with her as well. Cause I'd like to support her anywhere I can!
