7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy

7th Time Loop has a well executed balance of comedy, drama, and romance. The animation and sound editing are excellent. The voice acting is fine, unfortunately it is currently just English Subtitles. This charming story has similarities to "Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion" and I expect people who like one will like the other. However, I enjoy "7th Time Loop" the most.

The main character is Rishe Weitzner, who was raised by her parents to marry the local prince. When the prince suddenly falls for another woman and cancels their engagement, he accuses Rishe of false crimes and her parents reject her. Abandoned and homeless, Rishe strikes out to start a new life of her own making.

The story only gives brief flashbacks, but we learn that Rishe has previously lived 6 times until the age of 20. She chose widely different lives, yet each one ended with premature death caused in some way by Arnold Hein, Crown Prince of the Hyne Kingdom.

Rishe is now in her 7th time loop, and this time (after being dumped again) she becomes engaged to her mortal enemy - Arnold Hein. As the story progresses, she tries to understand the causes behind Arnold's cold harsh personality and tries to change his circumstances so she won't die in the future. She is also determined to live a fulfilling life, regardless of when she might die.

Arnold Hein looks at Rishe as a self-determined free spirit and watches her living a happy life he wishes he could have. His real feelings for her grow, yet Rishe assumes they are just an act.

Careful writing creates a unique blend of comedy, romance, tension between future killer and victim, and mysterious psychological trauma in the royal family.

This is not fluff, but it is not so heavy-handed that you will find it depressing. I highly recommend it. If you want the full story in English, seek out the translated light novel series, or even the manga adaption.

As this series opens Rishe Weitzner is attending an event where her fiancé suddenly breaks off their engagement. This is a shock to everybody but her! She has lived through this moment six times before; each time her life continued in a different way but always ended with her dying aged twenty due to a war started by of Emperor Arnold of Galkhein Empire. This, the seventh, time she hopes things will be better. Moments after her engagement is ended she meets Arnold, who is still just a prince at this point. Events lead to them becoming engaged. Will she be able to use the skills she learnt in her past lives to prevent her early death this time?

I thought this series was rather fun. Rishe is a fine protagonist; strong willed and competent without having superior powers to those around her. This means there is a sense of danger. Having her repeatedly live a section of the same life is an interesting twist on the popular reincarnation theme of many recent anime series. The story progresses well with plenty of drama along the way. The animation is good and the character designs are suitably distinctive. Overall a solid series that I'd recommend to fans of the genre.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Please watch it. Trust me, if you have a good taste you will not regret it!!!!!!

It has characters who are very well written.

They are good looking 😁 The story is also very very nice.

The main lead in this anime will make you love this wnime even more.

I would highly suggest this anime!!!!!!

Please do watch it, you are gonna love it !!!!!

And let me tell a bit more about it. It's basically a story about a girl who was born 7 times and this was his 7th life.

In his 7th life the , the person who killed her felt in love with her and wanted to marry her. After this what happened?!

Did she marry him or he had to force her?!

Was she able to love him or not?!

You have to watch it to find answers to these questions 😉😉!!

Just a very forgettable anime about a lady who marries a bad guy, that's literally the 99% of woman in the real world, that's a shame, just a mid isekai with very basic animation and that's pretty much all to be fair, the frame images look kinda clean and pretty, the design of the characters is very beautiful tue background too, but there is not much story wise it doesn't feel like an adventure, it just feels like scenes together in a bizarre order, its definitely one of the worst shows this season and that's a shame because the opening and ending are actually pretty great and fun to watch but that's all its just meh.

Love otome games and strong female leads? "7th Loop" is a must-watch! It takes classic villainess tropes and injects new life into them, making it both familiar and refreshing. It's easily one of the best anime of Winter 2024.

Reincarnation stories are a dime a dozen, but "7th Loop" stands out. Our heroine, Rishe, isn't just reborn once, she's on her seventh life! This experience gives her incredible depth. Unlike most fantasy characters, her knowledge and skills feel earned. Having lived through six other lives, she's perfectly equipped to tackle any challenge and prevent a devastating war.

Unlike stereotypical heroines, Rishe is independent and strong-willed. She refuses to be controlled and pursues her own happiness - a quality more authors should explore in female characters. Forget swooning maidens! Rishe is a fierce soul with her own goals and identity, even with a prince as her fiancé.

The romance between Rishe and Arnold is a highlight. It's fantastic to see a powerful woman like Rishe heal and challenge a troubled young man. Their connection starts political, but blossoms into something genuine. Importantly, they remain distinct individuals. Unlike typical Shoujo tropes, their love doesn't erase their personalities. They're strong on their own, but even better together. This, to me, reflects a true and mature relationship.

Season 1 is a winner! It blends political intrigue with a sweet romance between Rishe and Arnold. There's a fascinating twist: Rishe encounters people from her past lives, some who've changed and some who haven't. Plus, Arnold's hidden goals add another layer of mystery. Forget the usual cliches - no demon lords or love triangles here. It's refreshingly realistic and the story benefits greatly.

Stunning visuals! Rishe and everyone else look amazing, staying true to the light novel's art. The animation is solid, with some stand-out scenes like the dance. Overall, a well-produced show.

If you're looking for great isekai stories with strong female leads, check out 7th Loop. This manga all feature powerful women who forge their own paths, along with engaging storylines, intricate plots that extend beyond just romance, and well-developed supporting characters. In my opinion, that's the winning formula for this genre, and 7th Loop nails it perfectly.
