In the end, Elephas's stunt got both him and Aileen locked up, knowing full well that it was Lilia behind this the entire time. As unredeemable as he is at this stage, sacrificing his left eye to break Claude's curse may have proven his loyalty, but Aileen wants to see through this to the end.

Even Selena lends her help to Auguste and the others, knowing that if Lilia succeeds in her plot, it would be a full monopoly of control. Everyone on all sides and figuring out how to cure Claude of demon incense, there's but only one way: through the northern tower.

Between the Maidens Lilia and Aileen with both holy swords in their hands from different routes of the game, the battle is one to expect to draw both the real villainness and the main character. And though Almond came in for the clutch knowing that he's only held hostage, the curse is lifted, and the Demon Lord reappears to give his verdict and with Cedric clearing up the matter.

The definition of an "all's well that ends well" ending: the wedding with Aileen and Claude.

It's a decent ending, I suppose. Good in spots, but otherwise is fine.

It's a very good isekai show. I just wish that Maho Film should change/update their CGI horse models since they are using the same janky CG horses since 2020 starting w/ By the Grace of the Gods

Good ending of the season Aileen defeated lily with the help of everyone and now Claude and Aileen became a couple.
I give it 6/10.

Wow pretty sad to see this one end. Started a little slow for me but once it got going and I got into the characters I really had a blast. Aileen is one of my fave otome MC’s now. She was just awesome throughout this last half of the season and we really got to see her grow into her own with Claude being out of commission.

Ending felt a little bit rushed and I would’ve loved to have seen more of Claude and Aileen wedding and their married life but that’s what the LNs are for, I guess!

Lilia and Claude mom getting the perfect punishment. Gotta say I respect Cedric for sticking with his woman till the end; bro even sold out his own flesh and blood lmaoo

This series fell apart after first arc, once Aileen became bland and boring Mary Sue. Then it kinda became a drag and chore to watch.
Sad, but still 6/10.

We went full PVP mode with Aileen vs. Lilia. Lilia being another player with the same knowledge base as Aileen makes her a proper threat and villain for our MC. Almond you da real MVP for saving the day tho. It's cliché but what ultimately led to Aileen's victory is power of friendship and what led to Lilia's loss was treating everyone as tools.

Cedric and Serena were villains but it's nice to see them change for the better.

This seriously deserves a season 2. I feel like Lilia just getting imprisoned isn't too much of an end for her as her just getting executed. She'll have to come back at some point or what would also be nice is if another player enters the fray. Or even better if it's more than one new player and the whole thing becomes a massive battle royale. Definitely going to read the novels for this just to see where it goes.

I enjoyed this anime, especially the characters, but the plot was a bit on a weaker side. That's a problem with having romance not revolving around drama within the relationship, so drama had to be created through other means. The last arc wasn't particularly good in that regard, but at least everything ended well.

Ending felt rushed but a great series overall. Aileen was definitely one of the better Main characters this season. I think 7.5 is a fair score for this anime.

I'm glad that b*tch Lilia got a punishment. I was really worried they'd just end it with the "Ha I won" cause Lilia is infuriating.

This was a really good series. I love series focused around being transported to an Otome game. Its a shame the ending was so conclusive cause it leaves no room for a season 2.

Well, this is the last time listening to this ED while typing my thoughts on the series. (OP & ED for this series are banging.)

I am genuinely curious though whether the light novel continues after this. Cause it feels so conclusive with them getting married, Lilia the main villain being defeated and loose ends being tied up. I get the feeling the reason parts were rushed was because the animators wanted to end on this point. (Edit: I just googled it and the LN apparently has 10 volumes at the moment so its definitely got more content. Will probably buy the LN and give it a read too)

Overall great series though. I'll probably end up getting it on dvd and re-watching it in the near future. I'd love to give it a full binge without the weekly gaps. Also would love to see more isekai anime like this (Otome game/Female MC) in the future.

That was quite a fast resolution! Thankfully it all flowed nicely anyways. I'm glad Aileen and Claude got their happy ending, but it seems like pretty much everyone had a happy ending here. I'll just chalk it up to the villains being thoroughly thwarted before they could cause any real harm. Overall I'm pretty happy with the show. Claude and Aileen carried it! 8/10

Unfortunately, after the first arc it goes downhill. Had some cool moments here and there but, that's about it. It would be rated much higher if it kept momentum of the first few episodes.

Better be fast and better be putting them in the good end, i guess. Laughing my ass off with Lilia reaching her happy-bad end path when Cedric turned himself to his brother but still love her. Such a big simp. Selena still a pain in the ass, but at least she's a good girl even in the little time at this final. Loli baba turned into the real baba this time, not for the eternal youngster again. Elephas ruby eye turned back normal, Almond still alive, dancing, and yeah, happy ending for Aileen for the final fin!

As far as i like the motto of so fast so good, i put this on the average mark for its finest. Not their best shot, but okay enough to fill the end bargain of my watching quote.

Happy ending but the conclusion of this final arc wasn’t as good as the other arcs. The demon bird coming back to life in the nick of time, the current king/queen getting sick allowing Claude to save Aileen, etc - all pretty basic and cliche. Solid 7/10 but imo some missed potential to stick a great ending

This show was better than I thought it would be, I remember back in Week 1, I was thinking that this is some weak ripoff of the Katarina Claes anime, and it probably won’t be very good. But I like this genre so I kept watching. I felt it dragged some in the middle arc but it came back pretty strong for the ending. Giving it a solid 7/10. Doubt we’ll see more but who knows, I never expected the Katarina Claes anime to get a 2nd season either and it did.

I really enjoyed a lot of moments from this show overall, the ending was nice, getting to see Aileen get her happy end- but it was way too fast-paced, for me. I remember watching episode 4 and being excited at the prospect of moving towards a new arc, but at the same time... I really feel like those first four episodes could have been a whole entire season in and of themselves. So I don't know. I'm disappointed only because this story had so much potential, and with each new arc, it only seemed like the pacing got faster and faster. This finale episode in particular felt like a race to the finish, like they were trying to wrap everything neatly in a bow, as fast as possible. I really think it would have been so much better if they had used the many natural cliffhangers throughout the season, as season finishers instead. It would have been so much better paced as a result.

Even though I'll accept the show we got, I can't help but imagine what episode 4 would have been like as a season finale, with all of the proper buildup and suspense beforehand, that it deserved. Or Lilia's reveal about also being brought into the game, like Aileen. There was so much season finale potential here, and I'm sad we'll never get to see it.

On a positive note, I loved loved loved Aileen's character so much, and Rie Takahashi did her so much justice! She was the main reason I kept coming back every week, and I'll miss her if we don't get a season 2! (Which would be totally fine, I think this ending works if they're just going to leave it here.) I was waiting for a post-credits cute scene between Aileen and Claude, but oh well. This was a fun watch, at the very least, and I hope more villainess anime come out with main characters like Aileen.




We can always go somewhere again.

This was no Hamefura but still pretty enjoyable, it lost a bit of its charm after the first arc, now what a I really loved about the show was that ED, both the visuals and song were probably my favorites of the season.

This absolutely shitshow is finally over, thank you. Why was Almond still alive and able to just do whatever without like, any explanation? Why do so many characters do a 180 without like, any reason? Why is selective amnesia the worst trope and how did this show do it even worse than possibly imagined? My fault for actually having the expectation that the writing for this show wouldn't be a complete train wreck. We're honestly all just blessed this show is over.

Towards the end when Elephas was getting his eye back from Claude, they explained that Almond was placed under a state of thanatosis by Elephas, which is like death-feigning/ immobility (had to google since I didn't know what it was).

Ah classic, making it up after the fact and explaining it later so you can safely just undo prior plot points. Honestly, a pretty good metaphor for this series in general.

Ahhh it felt sooo short >.< I would love for this to have been longer, but at least we got to see the animation of them getting married. There are too many romance anime that don't get more seasons and we don't get to see past a season or two/an ova. I'll definitely check out the story later, since I bet a lot of details or scenes might have been cut out. I still enjoyed watching this though. Loved the voice acting and the ED song.

And I thought it was funny that Elephas thought Aileen looked at him like dirt when she found out he had feelings for Lillia. And it looked like Aileen hit the nail on the head when she imitated what Lillia probably said to him X) A shame she met him first. Anyway, pretty respectable in the way he showed his loyalty, which would also help save Claude.

Belzebuth questioning why the others want to save Claude was interesting, I would have like to have heard more of their thoughts.

The battle between Lillia and Aileen was interesting, didn't know how things would go. But Almond saved the day ^^! So happy he was okay T^T. Almond the M.V.P. :3 I At the start, I wouldn't have imagined Cedric getting a redemption arc. And surprised he still has feelings for Lillia. She'll have more time to reflect on herself in prison. Also, lol at the Empress turning into a prune again. Using the tribe's magic while treating them poorly. The king was also questionable with how he treated Claude.

Almond's little dances are so cute and precious ^^! Glad Elephas didn't actually hurt him.

Claude and Aileen are such a beautiful bride and groom :)! Love Claude's braided hair. Wishing them happiness. I hope we get to see everyone again in another season.

This is surprising. Didn't think that prince Cedric would come to his senses and see that he was manipulated to be a simp....until he said "even so, my love for you will never fade", at the point, I nearly bust my gut laughing my ass off, because he showed he was still a worthless simp in the end. Is this what it's like being in a manipulative abusive relationship? What an idiot.

It's too bad that old loli-hag didn't turn into dust, and that her idiot son emperor didn't have anything worse happen to him besides "recuperate from an illness" even though he looked fine standing by that carriage. I hope that carriage drives itself off a cliff.

Well, it's finally over. It wasn't the best series, but it wasn't the worst either. Overall, it felt like it should have ended in the first arc, while the other arcs just dragged out needlessly.

As someone who didn't like Hamefura, this actually went pretty well. The show maintained a decent balance of wholesomeness without losing its stakes, which kept me watching to the end. I would even say I was excited to watch this show every week. Another villaineous isekai adaptation may be inevitable, and I will be there to watch if it happens.
