I think this anime is pretty good for the most part, it's not too corny or too cringe but it has its moments. I also feel like it has a very similar plot to most anime's, so it is not a very unique story line. This anime definitely caught my attention, I felt like I would be able to watch this fully without getting bored if I didn't have any other anime to watch. The first episode had me bored out but it took awhile for me to get interested. I know the main character is described as villainous but I do not seem why because she seems nice to everyone around so it is definitely taking awhile for the plot to merge.

Watched the first episode to see if it was worth watching, the title is long which is interesting. The anime wasn't so crazy but it wasn't bad, it was pretty decent nothing special. The title was exactly what is going on in the show which plays a role when watching shows and understanding them. It was simple yet quite interesting, might watch a few more episodes but it's okay for the first episode. It could've been better because usually titles play an important role when watching. This anime isn't as hyped as I anticipated but either way it could be enjoyable for others. In conclusion, I'd give it a 6/10 rating overall.
Pretty decent

It was very different compared to the other animes I've watched. The first episode pretty much explained the title and set the plot of the show. I kinda got bored throughout it but I forced myself to continue watching it. It was pretty simple for the most part, it's your typical anime. I think it could've had more entertaining parts to it. I was not expecting the parts in the anime to actually be in the show but I actually liked it. I wouldn't rewatch it, so it was definitely a one time thing. It was one of those animes that if that was the only thing to watch then I would pick that anime. Overall it just wasn't for me but I somewhat enjoyed it.
I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
Tweekums13 December 2022
This isekai series is centred on Aileen Lauren d'Autriche, a woman who has been reincarnated into the world of a video game she once played. One day she gets the memories of her previous life back and realises her character is destined to die at the hands of demon lord Claude Jean Ellmeyer... she comes up with a plan to survive this fate; she will get him to fall in love with her! Inevitably she will face various challenges along the way.
I thought this was an okay but ultimately forgettable series. The title and general idea automatically brings to mind 'My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!'... which is unfortunate as that was a much better series. It started well enough, with early episodes that got be interested. Unfortunately as the story progressed it gripped me less and often I found my mind wandering. Perhaps it will be better now the whole series is out and one doesn't have to wait a week between episodes. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see but equally I wouldn't say it was terrible; if you are a fan of the genre try a few episodes and see what you think.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

The title makes it Interesting, Long but Interesting

I've seen multiple anime's with sorta the same plot as this one, where the main lead is basically put into a story that they were obsessed with in their previous life, where they were dying. Besides that, I give it a 7 out 10 review because I actually got entertained watching it, it got me attached to know more, on where the story plot will end and what choices the main character will take. I only saw episode 1 but I do plan on maybe continuing watching it. Maybe, one detail that basically sets it apart from other similar plots, is that, the main character has no interest in continuing the story line, she chases after her ex- fiance half brother. It's a pretty decent anime story plot but I say it's worth watching.
Questionable but pretty good

Mostly spoilers for episode 1 (Read if u want though i dont care)
To say I was expecting a regular isekai would be a stretch considering it's "in a game" and she plans to stop the calamity by marrying the issue itself. Overall it isn't that bad however it could possibly make more sense and have less potholes. Why exactly does she have the knowledge of what happens? Why is it only her that is an actual person in this game of AI? How did she isekai into the anime to begin with? Did she seriously die just to get put into a game? So many whys but no answers to everything. Keystrokes keystrokes keystrokes.

Nothing too special, still nice to binge
jadeflores-calderon8 November 2022
Its nothing too special, but it definitely is one of those anime's you can binge watch on a lazy day. The main character is pretty nice with the whole female villainess thing since you never really see female villainess that are the main characters. It has an older historical setting which makes it nice if you are into those kinds of settings. The animation is pretty good considering the color scheme going on. I do not think I will personally be watching the entire thing, but thats only because it is not my cup of tea anime. It is nice to see the main character not being a woman who can't fend for herself like most animes portray woman. Overall its a pretty decent anime.
This is a surprising gem
peterfmodel12 December 2022
I had low expectations but was surprised how good the first episodes were. I did expect it to drop in quality but I have to admit it's a great TV series right up to its 12th episode. It's not perfect as it's filled with plot holes, but by golly it's entertaining nonetheless.
I suspect one reason why its so good is there are three main story-arcs all compressed into 123 episodes. This means there is almost no fillers and the plot progresses in a brisk manner. You are never bored, although when you are in the last main story-arc you do expect it to be a repeat of the 1st, thus may have less enthusiasm, but they do a reasonable twist at the end.

good to binge but nothing too special
breannrush9 November 2022
It is nothing special nothing really goes on it would be nice to binge it's one of those you can binge on a rainy day. The main character is a female who is nice to her family and to everyone. I don't get how she is villainous I did not see a lot of that at all. It has an older love interest in it if you are into that type of stuff. She needs him to go to a dance with her. The animation is good basing it off color I would personally not watch it fully but that is just me. It was nice to see a female strong and who can protect herself it is rare to see that in this type of anime it'd nothing special.
I wanted to like this, I really wanted to like this

I'm an Isekai fanboy and any series that is an Isekai I'll watch, I like the idea of a person plucked out of reality and plopped down into a fantasy world wherever it is and whatever style it is, it's a fun ride.
And Akuyaku Reijou is a fun ride, it's different than the usual fare - going for an Otome game (which is basically a Visual Novel targeted at teen girls) insert with a mega fan - and it works.
Except that 2/3rds the way through it, the series pulls an annoying punch and ruins the story for me, I actually quit at that episode.
Through the series there's a developing romance between the main characters and through a series of trials, the main character has come out as a victor with a legion of male fans - as all these series portray the same idea as the male variant - right up until the main male character develops amnesia and doesn't remember anything.
Now I quit at this reveal so I'm not sure whether or not he's screwing around with her - as he is semi sadistic in wanting to make her cry - or it is real that is undone by the end.
But I'm not a fan of the 'oh and now I can't remember you' plot line, as it feels hackneyed, especially with the romance angle.
Those are the types of curve balls that ruin a series and make it neither good nor bad.

Not so original but very enjoyable
oyku_surer10 December 2022
For my humble opinion its rate is very low it deserves much higher. Story is not so origianl but timeline of story is diffrent from other isekai animes. The the romance is warm and feels true, the both progonist are alfa, especially Alieen, but Claude is very sweet to her and also so many handsome ikemens in there and they feel strong admiration to her. In this way, the series likes reverse harem animes but not like entirely because Alieen made her choise in the begining,. She has kinda masculine chactacter but at the same time she is feminen and shy also. But no doubt she is a leader. I think fun to watch:)
It Was Decent, Not The Best I Have Seen
reniervaldes7 November 2022
I have read and watched other shows and manga that have a similar plot. The plot is not very unique but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. If the formula works, then it works. It at least has a bit of a spin to it. This specific show did not pull me in with the first episode. The animation was decent but not amazing for an anime. It seems to be your typical otome isekai romance at first glance which is not necessarily wrong with all of the similar tropes that the genre has which is one of the problems with it. However, that is also one of the things about the genre that can make it addicting because if you find a good one that you truly enjoyed and want something similar than this type of show is meant for you. It hits all of the right spots with a female villainess mc, a historical setting, being an isekai, more specifically it being an otome isekai, some magic sprinkled in, classes of nobility and royalty, and of course the show being romance. Overall it is a solid 6/10 and you should consider watching if you are into the otome isekai genre.
This anime is not the best thing i have ever seen
lilylocander13 November 2022
I would give this show a rating 5 out of 10 because i think the whole plot could have been a little bit more different than all of the other shows, because it was almost the same plot as other shows. I also think if i would watch a few more episodes into this series then I would a get really bored. I also feel like for watching one episode into this series it just got really boring. Than the title is a little bit different than i expected. I really think the title just doesn't really match what was happening in the first episode. This anime is a little bit to over hyped in my opinion bit i think all anime is over hyped in my opinion.
So hard to finish
RikaChama12326 September 2023
I really wanted to like this show so I gave it a try despite not being that interested after episode 1. At first it was decent enough, I enjoyed the 2 MCs interaction, despite some cliche and cringe stuff. But halfway, God, it just became too hard for me to watch. I really can't enjoy it anymore. The pacing is soooo bad, the direction horrible, the supporting and side characters look so bland, boring and forgettable. I told myself I'll do my best to finish all episodes, but I just can't. Dropped it around episode 7 ( story arc is so cliche, events are too predictable, characters has no substance at all). Still give it a 6 for Claude.
Worth watching at least once

Hello Fellow Humans,
Well another Anime were someone dies and gets reincarnated into the main character. This however is a female based anime. So if course it is more of a live story because of course that's what all women want apparently. Now the main character isn't the only Japanese woman who was reincarnated. The villain was also a reincarnated soul. Apparently she was evil and decided that since it was a game in the past life then who cares all these people and creatures must all be NPCs. While the MC figured out they are all real and not just computer NPCs. She cared deeply for the demons and the demon lord as she fell hard for him.
My one beef with this story is this. The Holy swords apparently can't hurt humans. The villain is a human. So why as the MC did she not carry a few daggers and at least one with poison on it? After meeting the villainess and her making it very obvious she was evil and didn't value the people and other humanoids. I personally would have ended her right than and their. It would have saved her a ton of trouble over the long run. I get we live in a modern society and things like murder is bad. However this is a medieval time so killing was actually normal in some form or another. She could have easily gotten posion from the demon forest and given it to the villainess no problem the many times she and her interacted. This eliminatint the entire w cond half of the show from even happening. But I guess coming from Japan they are stupidly polite and modest and uncomfortable in so many situations apparently. From all the anime I have watched their has to be some parallel with the country itself, like it's overly modest outer exterior. While having a very crazy underground because they are so suppressed.
Well at least this show is worth watching and of course it has a happy ending like almost all animes do.

Cute & Funny
chelseajmbelehar10 January 2023
This anime does show what an industrious mind can accomplish in a character and as a writer. It is short and sweet for most episodes. Adding in a healthy amount of funny of course. The Demon Lord falls little flat as a character but I imagine in the manga his character gets much more screen time as it were to show off his personality more. The supporting characters are good and not at all forgotten as a side cast. Which is surprising considering how many of them there are and how randomly they pop up in the story. Though all of these side stories are easily solved in an episode or two they do build to help the main story line. The comedy is simple. The character arcs are good. The plot is actually very interesting, given the route the writer decided to take.
Overall, easy to watch and enjoy for some no thinking time in your day.

Crazy title but pretty decent!!
tatendatagara7 November 2022
Well my class only watched the first episode and when i get into a new anime i have to watch a couple of them to get a fill of the anime. But watching this anime I was kinda getting into and this is a anime ill watch over & over like hunter x hunter or Naruto. Thais just in my opinion. It may seem different to you this just what I like and i like this anime even though i only watch the first episode for a class at school. I might look into it when im at home just because it. Just caught my eye a little bit but thats besides the point i think this is a anime real anime fans would like cause it just seems great!!!
Funny, fun

It's possible I've just been slogging through too many animes with no plot and passive heroines, but I loved this.
It was surprisingly funny, the plot moved, I loved the power couple that are the Villainess and the Demon King. And I was into the mystery and plot twists. I'm also not a huge fan of the rpg style but this was done very well.
