My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

An isekai casting the protagonist as the "Evil" character isn't new, but her complete acceptance of the situation and then decision to avoid the inevitable doom the game has in store for her by hijacking all of the main "encounters" was, and it made for an entertaining diversion.

The story unfolds well with good jumps in the time line that make sense vs dragging out a particular segment beyond what the story could support. Characters are fairly standard, lacking serious depth but remain enjoyable, with the protagonist being the classic clueless main character trope that works well instead of being awkward.

My only significant issue was the classically "short" ending, personally want more than a 20 minute closing.

Pro's:

• Excellent and consistent art, not exactly my style but can recognize the quality.
• Fun characters.
• "Realistic" Isekai, the average person isn't going to suddenly become a "god" due to present day knowledge and was nice to see that.
• Complete story arc.
• Warm and fuzzy.

Con's:

• Main character is unusually clueless.
• Very predictable.

This should be on Cruncyroll on the top 5 IMO. Loved every minutes of this anime. The heroine is relatable & hilarious even though she was destined to be a villianess with a doomed ending. If you like boys over flowers, you'll like this one. But Catarina is way more likable and actually deserved the love she gets from her friends. A happy anime that's did not fail brighten my mood after every episode. Cannot wait for Season 2!

In general I really enjoyed watching this Anime. However, as in many of this type with a proclaimed-"Villainess"-storys the Villainess is just a relabeled Hero that should have been a Villainess in the original. For me this was no problem, but it is to be kept in mind when wanting to watch. Further, I like that the reincarnation stuff is rather a side factor and not crucial to the story.

Next, the characters are all very well written imo. The main character is veey adorable but in later episodes I would have wished for some growth in her - it is sadly missing or I missed it. While on the topic of missing things the second season feels like it is missing a real drive or goal. First season was great since the Doom Flags needed to be worked against but after it was clear that she basically won her personality became rather annoying.

Its no a anime for those who are looking for fights or drama. Its a anime for those looking for a good anime and a happy end.

After watching heavy animes, this will warm your heart!

Its only 12 ep and worth watch!

This is one of the rare good isekai because:

• the story is very well written;
• the main character actually do stuff, is likable and is not good at everything;
• the concept is different from most isekai (read the plot summary for more informations);
• there is a lot of good comedy and wholesomeness;
• art style is likable, animation is well done, musics are good;

It's worth watching.
