![]() ![]() Conversely, the harem-routes each had a legitimate claim at being the choice for the center. The harem-center (Catarina) was exciting, and it was clear why other characters would fall for her. This series did everything you should expect from a standout story from this genre. Getting back on track, Villainess was a harem anime and a decent one at that. However, in this case, I’m considering it to be a smart detail since Catarina was initially a side character, and Fortune Lover’s actual protagonist looked the part of a heroine when she made her appearance in this series. She looked like a side-character, which, I guess, would be a negative for other shows. Main character Catarina Claes’s appearance didn’t have the flash or sparkle of a protagonist from a dating simulation game. I’m not sure if it was intentional, but Villainess’s character designs, I thought, fit well with the setting. Now, I will return to the thing I just said, but before that, there is something I want to mention. Villainess, on the other hand, was – for the lack of a better phrase – a straightforward harem anime. Ascendance was much larger in what it wanted to attempt there was a sense of great destiny to everything that transpired. Where Ascendance of a Bookworm and Villainess differed was in their respective scopes. Both had elements of magic, but at their cores, they were stories that centered around character interactions instead of over-the-top action pieces. Neither are high-adventure fantasy narratives. If I had to compare this show with anything, the only comparable series is Ascendance of a Bookworm. For the moment, I want to focus on not just one but two aspects this story did incredibly well.įirst, as an isekai anime, Villainess was unique. Although I will acknowledge this show was good, I won’t pretend it didn’t have issues, but we’ll get to that later in the review. My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom ( Villainess) will prove to be a rather significant series. So, instead of becoming the big baddie, Catarina is turning into the admired protagonist of her own story. Fortunately, Catarina’s in-depth knowledge of Fortune Lover might be able to prevent such a fate.Ĭatarina immediately begins to befriend the people her video game incarnation would one day torment. Unfortunately, that would mean Catarina is doomed to either exile or death. The world she is living in now is identical to her past self’s favorite title, Fortune Lover’s, and her current life would transform into the role of the game’s bad guy. Then one day, she had an accident that caused her to remember memories of her previous life as a teenage otaku who loved to play dating sims. When she was young, Catarina Claes (voiced by Maaya Uchida) was shaping up to be a horrid villainess. ***Warning, the following may contain spoilers for My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom.
