A beautiful queer story for the ages.

I'm in love with the villainess despite being late to the otome isekai in the anime sphere is one of the progenitors of its genre in its light novel source material. You can see in the inspiration that certain stories took from it to create their own works while watching Villianesse so I won't be focusing on that.

What I am here to talk about and what I would largely like to focus on is who this series is for. The otome isekai genre is largely meant for women and despite certain claims the demographics for GL stories based ...

2023 has been an amazing year for anime in general, but Yuri fans in particular were well fed. With series like Tenten Kakumei, Watayuri and Hikikomari, this year has been stacked with quality Yuri releases. I believe Wataoshi stands head and shoulders above the others, and is the best fantasy girls love story to date.

Unlike most otome isekai, Rae Taylor says “fuck the hot guys, I want the girl.” Rae’s rejection of many pre-existing tropes otome tropes is really what makes this stand out to me. She and Claire’s gradual progression from unrequited crush, to friend, to best friend and ultimately to lovers is so ...

I wanna preface this by saying I have no clue as to what constitutes for a good BL/GL show. I usually don't watch those kinds of shows unless under recommendation by a friend, and even then, chances are it'll stay stuck on my never ending pit of planned shows to watch.

That said, this show has other tropes on top of being an Isekai-GL show, and I feel at least qualified to judge the show based on those tropes, and other general stuff that is included in the contents of this show.

And these contents are...pretty half-baked.

The setting, while good in theory, feels pretty sloppy ...

If you're looking for a show, that doesn't beat around the bush. Dangles bait right in front of your noses, and you only hope that it would pull the trigger on it's contents. Then this is the show for you.

Let's face it, we've seen a bunch of shows, where it's always followed in the same path. Same direction. You more likely could count how many people played these sorts of games in order to romance a prince, or one of the hot dudes. But this one is different. Not only is our MC in Rae attracted to the girl, but she's attracted to the supposed ...

I didn't start watching this anime with high expectations because sometimes you just need something fun to watch, you know? This was a fun watch if you ignore the incest trope and its tasteless comparison to gay relationships. 👍

The power system feels basic and isn't fleshed out but I enjoyed most characters, except the perfect superhuman, I forgot her name. She was perfect in every way which was kind of the point I guess? But I didn't enjoy it.

The story isn't anything special but it was enjoyable. If you are looking for a fun watch, I would (hesitatingly) recommend it.

As a girl who's been in love with other girls.. This anime really portrays the feelings and the complications that can arise from such a thing!

If you're someone like me who's been in love with another girl, Or just prefers girls in general, Like I do.. I feel this anime will really represent so many of the things you've felt/have been feeling.

I don't think I've ever found anything more relatable to it.. For years, And also, these past couple of months, I have been watching 1-3 episodes of an anime, Then dropping it, I just lose interest as it doesn't really speak to ...

This story was absolutely delightful, undoubtedly engaging, and downright fun and wholesome! Truly loved watching it!

Seeing the protagonist Rae continuously profess her love to Claire, and watching Claire’s reactions to Rae being goofy yet endearing was so perfect! Their interactions and chemistry warmed my heart, and had me laughing every episode!

I also really enjoyed how they twisted the stereotypical reverse-Harem Otome game plot line. But with that, I also liked that they didn’t get rid of the “love interest Princes,” but had them become friends instead. To me, that was a nice touch!

I think the other characters in the story were also fun to ...

Review: Great Story, Meh Animation 🌈💕

Our ordinary office worker, Rei, wakes up in the world of her favorite otome game, and guess who's there to welcome her? None other than Claire Francois, the main antagonist of the game! What a delightful twist! Now, Rei's on a mission to romance Claire instead of the usual male leads. You can't help but wonder how this villainous ladylove will react to the unexpected courtship.

The show falls into the comedy, fantasy, and girls' love genres, and it's off to a promising start. It's like a breath of fresh air with a hint of deja vu.

Now, the story – here's ...

I didn't really like this anime. I found myself wondering what points this show was trying to make, and any that did come to mind I found myself not agreeing with.

I don't agree with the idea that overwhelming one sided affection can or should change someone's gender preferences, or the idea that overwhelming one sided affection can or should make someone love you who doesn't, regardless of gender.

The show didn't seem to provide the love interest with any qualities deserving of the MC's love, aside from a sad backstory and the MC's fragile mental state before her reincarnation.

Nor did it provide much tension or challenges ...

I'm in Love with the Villainess — the combination of the usual tried-and-true tropey Isekai Otome Game rom-com genres...with a dash of Yuri? Colour me surprised.

I feel like I need to pose this question to everyone: since the start of HameFura back in the COVID times of Spring 2020, has the Isekai Otome Game genre really evolved in the 3.5 years since its inception? In one word: nope; in more words: nadda. But for one author going by the pseudonym name of Inori, the work that became to be the 5-volume long LN that is Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou. a.k.a I'm in Love ...

“I'm in Love with the Villainess” has some surprisingly good and enjoyable social commentary. This anime really took my heart by storm.

There’s an aspect to falling in love when queer that, at least for me, makes more generic love stories simply unrelatable and foreign. The tale of a girl and boy falling in love with each other is the expected experience, it’s a norm that’s pushed onto people. There’s an aspect in so many romances about how people feel this is their fate, and that it’s something they’ve always dreamed about. It’s inherent to the story, I think. But if, say, you’re a girl, and ...

To the point, people will review things and don't even finish the show. Like you missed all the developments and even some characters so to give a review seems completely unfair. This is a top-tier lesbian anime, which means a lot since I prefer gay ones lol. Funny and inspiring, the main character doesn't even use prior game knowledge to win the girl until forced into a corner when she has no choice at the end. can't wait for season 2. Also, I felt so strongly that even with all my anime entries I've never written a review until now.

Before i start, i gotta say, WataOshi is my favourite yuri LN so i might be a bit biased, but with that:

Rae Oohashi, a typical 21st-century office lady, experiences an unexpected twist of fate as she wakes up inside the main character of her beloved Otome game. But, instead of chasing after the conventional romance with the main princes, Rae takes an unconventional route – she's set on winning the heart of the villainess, a side characterod this game. It's a refreshing take that immediately sets the story apart.

Because of Season 1 primarily adapts Vol 1 in full and Vol 2 Chapter 1 from the ...

"I'm in Love with the Villainess" offers a refreshing take on the popular villainess genre, introducing a unique spin that adds depth to the traditional isekai narrative. However, while the series succeeds in certain aspects, it stumbles in others, making for a mixed viewing experience.

One of the standout features of the anime is its departure from the typical villainess storyline. Instead of following the predictable path of a protagonist trying to avoid their inevitable bad end, the series takes a different route, injecting creativity into a well-trodden genre. This departure from the norm is a breath of fresh air, giving viewers something new and exciting ...

Sad excuse for otome isekai yuri anime. Though it starts as fun story of unrequited love, it devolves really fast into really weird relationships. Protagonist become basically an obsessed maniac/stalker and pulls all stops to become as close as possible to her unwilling love interest.

Story goes through motions of killing boss/tournament/what-have-you without any direct impact on relationships of protagonist and her obsession. As there was nothing to story beside this extreme passion, author resorts to lame world-building by dumping info on different subjects (magic system, past flashbacks, politics, etc.). This uninspired generic otome setting unbearable to watch as it is, but if you add ...

After an incredible year of yuri in 2022, I was genuinely excited for Villainess to fulfill my GL needs and I'm happy to say it did.

It took this anime around three episodes to find it's footing, which is unfortunate considering how short the series is. While the lighthearted and funny antics between Rae and Claire hold throughout - I was very much expecting this to show to stop there. However, around episode three, I was pleasantly surprised to see more depth and worldbuilding play out. I was reminded of MagiRevo due to the show's magical themes...and well, overtly gay MC. I really didn't expect ...

Though the story is interesting at the beginning, it seems that its story development will be incomplete or disproportionate according to the first three episodes.
Its graphic performance is really poor. And this flaw got exacerbated because its story is not so outstanding.
The characters are cute and funny but also cliche.
I personally feel this anime is enjoyable now and give it a 8 out of 10, maybe because this is the first time I sit down and partially throw away the stereotypes about Akuyaku Reijo theme. But I’m worrying about the other 9 episodes now, I strongly feel that this level of ...

Recently, I wanted to complete my bibliography on the subject of Yuri anime and I realized—Oh gods, forgive me for this outrage—that there have been a few notable Yuri anime released recently that I simply hadn't seen. Probably because they were perceived as "average" at the time and I passed on them.

GRAVE MISTAKE!!

I'm in Love with the Villainess is one of those forgotten anime, so I'm correcting my mistake. The concept is rather simple: a Japanese woman, overwhelmed with work, gets, um, transferred? Reincarnated? It's not really clear ... into her favorite game: a classic Japanese romance game. The little twist is that the heroine, ...
