What’s it about? Alicia enjoys enjoying villain characters in different video games. She has all the time admired how courageous and robust they’re in comparison with the extraordinarily form nature of heroines. Subsequently, it was a dream come true for Alicia when she is reincarnated as a villain, and he or she vows to develop into the best her new world has ever seen.
The title of the sequence is kind of a daring assertion, particularly since I do know my lady, Aria TThe rogue state turns the hourglasswould wipe the ground with Alicia in a heartbeat. I’ve blended emotions in regards to the oversaturation of villain tales – whereas it is nice that the majority of them wish to defy the “evil villain” trope and clear their names, I am personally way more occupied with characters taking up their villain roles. One of many explanation why Aria is a good protagonist is as a result of she’s truly not afraid to play soiled and actively plot the downfall of the individuals who wronged her within the earlier timeline. Briefly, Aria is the form of morally grey character that most individuals supposedly lengthy to see extra of in fiction, BUT in apply, it looks like most individuals simply aren’t able to assist ladies’s errors.
Whereas it is refreshing that Alicia truly needs to be a villain, it is clear that she’s extra within the daring and assured aura that villainy normally exudes than truly doing horrible issues to different individuals. I would not be stunned if she by accident steals the function of the heroine beneath the unconscious assumption that she is “evil.” Briefly, it is clear that Alicia is a candy lady who would not harm a fly and is set to be seen as somebody admired for her intelligence and power. To some extent, it is clear that the mechanics of her new world are very a lot in her favor. How else do you clarify the king asking an eight-year-old for her opinion on politics?
Except for Alicia’s antics, the episode mainly repeats acquainted tropes and does not actually add something new to the style. Since Alicia is such an brisk character, I want she devoted her time to being a chaotic evil one that likes to troll everybody round her. That alone feels like a very good time and would have been numerous enjoyable to look at. Sadly for her, she attracts the eye of all of the teenage male leads, which is disturbing when it is apparent that the Crown Prince is visiting Alicia’s home simply to see her. Age hole romances are difficult tales to navigate as a result of the ability imbalance can completely result in exploitation and abuse. There’s completely no indication that the sequence will discover that facet in depth, but it surely’s essential to level out that it exists and it may very well be a dealbreaker for a few of our readers.
The animation is vibrant and vibrant due to Alicia’s vibrant character, but it surely’s actually tragic that even this sequence could not escape the CG horses. Whereas I do not suppose the present will shake anybody’s world, when you’re searching for a comedy villain present to look at this season, then this is likely to be for you.
