After watching up to episode 3, I find it hard to imagine this anime improving. It's easily one of the worst offerings of the season, plagued by poor animation, incoherent storytelling, and deeply problematic themes.
The animation is noticeably cheap, with inconsistent quality that detracts from the viewing experience. The storytelling doesn't fare any better-moments where the protagonist breaks the fourth wall feel completely random and out of place, failing to add any charm or depth to the narrative.
The plot itself is problematic on multiple levels. The story revolves around an aristocratic girl forced to marry a prince and endure grueling lessons since childhood. Her dream, however, is to live a simple, carefree life in the countryside. When she finally breaks her engagement and escapes, the prince stalks her, drags her back against her will, and everyone around her seems unbothered by this.
This premise could have been the foundation for a compelling story about feminism, self-determination, and independence. Unfortunately, the anime seems determined to pivot towards a clichéd love story, making this direction particularly egregious. The prince blatantly disregards the protagonist's autonomy, and the show appears to frame this as romantic rather than problematic.
Adding to the disappointment, both main characters are woefully underdeveloped. By episode 3, there's little insight into their backstories, motivations, or personalities. It's hard to root for characters who feel like blank slates, making the already flawed plot even more unbearable.
In short, I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons is a frustrating watch with little to offer. Unless it takes a drastic turn, it's hard to recommend this anime to anyone.
