Shoujobros, get in.
>>287167118Don't know if a bunch of this episode was anime original or the manga cut it out to get to the meat of it, but most of the stuff in this ep was new to me. And man, ending it at that point just puts Renato in the absolute worst light possible.
>Maria, the daughter of a duke, grew up believing she would one day inherit her father's dukedom. Accordingly, she focused her attentions on honing her martial arts prowessIs this more Scarlet kino?
>>287167278Yes, but this one appears to be less "sadistic badass" and more "muscle-brained dumbass". Still probably gonna be a fun watch though.
Reminder we are getting cute tsundere drill kino with this show
btw, this really does take place in fantasy Italy
>>287167278No, this one is actually fun.
So is this yuri?
>>287167448You can pretend it is
>>287167118athybros, seibros, seijobros etc etc . long time no see
>>287167118ah shit here we go again
>>287167118For the record Renato actually wants his brother and Aida to be happy together and thanks to being overworked and sleep deprived came up with a really really stupid plan that would also mean his own downfall
There it is!
>>287167448
>>287167118So this'll be mostly lighthearted shoujo comedy?
>>287167565cute mc, picked up
>>287167918this is some cute reijou
>>287167954
>>287167532Ahem! Marie-bros, Raeliana-bros, Sophia-bros, Rishe-bros, Lettie-bros, Dahlia-bros, Nina-bros, Philia-bros, Mia-bros, Jill-bros, Aileen-bros, Elianna-bros, Lise-bros, Pryde-bros, Bakarina-bros, Sei-bros, Ann-bros, Elise-bros, Lua-bros, Sariphi-bros, Scarlet-bros, Athy-bros, Melphie-bros is this our show?
Is this what (You) do?Just watch every "annul your engagement shoujo sloppa"?
>>287167118The premise is so funny.>be woman>arrogant, insufferable, never settling>fall for muh stronk independent career propaganda>get old, no eggs>super duper prince emperor vampire CEO billionaire still falls for you>specifically because of your stronk independent careerWhat a self-insert. This is worse than your average isekai harem OP MC.
>>287168188Yes, but I actually try almost every show every season. Especially every otome/villainess/shoujo/romance show. It's a comfy life.
Okay guys, which one?
>>287168352ages?
>>287168305are those brass knuckles in her hair?
The last shoujo I saw was Jill's show..
>>287168412yep
>>287168212you are new here. what are you doing itt?
>>287167752AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>287168387Mimi is the youngest daughter so they're all older and I believe married too
>>287168521
>>287168536What about this one?
>>287168412A lady must be prepared to punch a bitch when necessary.
>>287168521I think only the first and second daughters are married.
>>287167401holy might pick up.I need another nudge bros, I generally dislike villainess/princess otome shit but if it's done cutely with funny shit like for example the retarded villainess who had to fight against the plot to avoid death... then I might watch
>>287168212this is literally the isekai equivalent for women
>>287168521Why was the youngest daughter groomed to be the heir in lack of a son? Wouldn't the oldest daughter be chosen?
>>287168730I'd only checked that chapter to grab the pics of the sisters, forgot they'd said that too>>287168871Because
Steel knuckles in her hair, kek.
>>287169023fuck it picked up
>>287167118>nigga shitaReally now.
>>287169129wouldn't this hurt your palm if you punch a shōjoslopper with it?
>>287169053Will those roses ever turn red, source readers?
>>287169023>steelea-nasir would make millions off of you
>>287169254I meant to say metal and realised that I wrote steel only afterwards, gomennasai.
>>287169358>you have lost 5 reputation with dwarves>you have gained 2 reputation with dwarves
>>287168188Sometimes I even watch regular shoujo
>>287168079It may just be,..
>>287168458I came back because I saw it in my anime website and quickly checked it out. I found it funny as I said and that's why I came to post it.>>287168828It's not the same. Male isekai self-insert has the MCs be normal or average. This has the female MC being actively undesirable (literal bossgirl yass queen stronk indepondant career woman).The male equivalent would be a stinky fat ugly bastard.
>>287169701it is pretty much the same at its core. The male isekai MC starts normal/average but then he gets a cheat power the moment he arrives in the new world which makes him the top 000.01% of the world and gets a bunch of girls falling for him in less than 3 episodes
>>287169701>It's not the same. Male isekai self-insert has the MCs be normal or average. This has the female MC being actively undesirable (literal bossgirl yass queen stronk indepondant career woman).NTA, but I believe what that anon meant, was that this kind of otome show is a type of female wish fulfillment, similar to isekai shows often being male wish fulfillment. Also, from experience, the female audience doesn't view FeMCs like Mimi as annoying girl bosses. FeMCs in these shows are usually among the prettiest, cutest and kindest women around. Which is a good thing.
>>287169792It's not the same. You yourself make my point>male isekai MC starts normal/average>but then he gets a cheat power>which makes him the top 000.01% of the world and gets a bunch of girls falling for him in less than 3 episodes>>287169797>Also, from experience, the female audience doesn't view FeMCs like Mimi as annoying girl bosses. FeMCs in these shows are usually among the prettiest, cutest and kindest women around. Which is a good thing.That's even worse.Imagine fat stinky male self-inserts not viewing themselves as undesirable but actually as the top of the world.Imagine the self-insert starting as the best of the best instead of transforming into it. The sheer narcissism, the audacity.Kek.
>>287169701>stinky fat ugly bastard.men would watch these too
>>287169924>The sheer narcissism, the audacity.It is what it is. The archetypal male story is that of a hero reaching greatness through struggle. The archetypal female story is to tame wild, high potential males into civilized husbands (that only want the female lead, of course). The real tragedy is male fantasy losing the struggle and just getting power and women handed to them... At least (the good) female stories still embody the virtues needed to actually tame her man.
>>287169924It is pretty much the same.>Imagine the self-insert starting as the best of the best instead of transforming into itLiterally none of the male self-inserts 'transform' into the best in the world. The nanosecond they get their cheat power they're instantly the strongest to ever live, and the only reason the world doesn't acknowledge it is because they're a commoner/they hide their power/etcThere's no hard work, grueling effort, dedication, or anything of the sort. Even the 'oh my power is the weakest but it's actually really strong' doesn't involve any training, it's just because the MC stops being retarded and realizes>oh shit.. my power to make potions.. can make REALLY strong potions
Stitches.
>>287170246Is she better or worse than Scarlet?
>>287170067like mechas that allow skinny angsty teenagers to fight spectacular battles in a semi believable way, the studio to easily visualize faction differences by mech tech levels, open up a way to make emotional states into powerups and so on, OP MC shows remove the focus on muh stakes and shift it to focus on other themes. it's shallow to cry about it in context of muh no stakes. it's a different story framework about different things.
Losing my mind over the lack of hands being thrown in episode 1. Was I wrong to expect violence
>>287170274>OP MC shows remove the focus on muh stakes and shift it to focus on other themes.You are correct - in theory. In reality lots of shows just meander about without focusing on anything.
Last stitch.
>>287170449one of the first for me was mahouka. turns from the most generic battle harem to a political drama, and it's probably the modern setting, tatsuya being a member of the school, the family, the military that keep it on topic vs isekai that are often spontaneous world trips guided by random events. stakes are in where he manages to go with his life, not if he'll beat the arc's baddie.
>>287170261Her anime is already 10x better than Scarlet's
>>287170370I really like him.
>>287169938busamen bros UNITE
>>287167370I love a girl who could benchpress me.
Your choice?
Spotted the best girl?
>>287171073The shota.
Her brass knuckle hair ornament is so dumb holy shit. She better use as part of her ultimate forbidden isekai-kungfu technique.
>>287171286Sex with this violent gorilla.
After anal by me.
>>287171325She's the NTR queen, anon.

>>287171341
he saw it...
>>287167370>what if bakarina could fist really good
>>287171530Lucky bastard.
>>287171286its on her stamp too so i assume its the family crest
>>287168079Are we not bros?
>>287171710>people actually remember this LITERAL SCHIZO akujo
>>287171534or alternatively>what if Hibiki was a shoujo protagonist
>>287171073yellow, flippy wigglers get me going
don't forget Jishou Akuyaku etc etc airs next monday
>>287171748it was my pick for surprise of the season
>>287168079Don't forget Tiarabros.
>>287172922Literally no one, and I mean NO ONE watched this show.
>>287173105true, i have not. the title, just the words, felt like an explicit caricature of the genre. failed my 0 episode rule.
>>287173276>>287173105i watched it and it felt like it was written by AI or something. it was only vaguely aware of the genre and character tropes and replaced them with ??????? and things happened.
>>287173105Can't even remember how many chapters of the manga I managed to make it through before dropping it so yeah, definitely didn't watch that shit
>>287173105Rude. There were like three of us in the episode threads.
So... he's just dumb... and blind?
That was pretty fun.
>Search Nigashita>No ASW>Saw anon's filenames>It's NigetsuriI hate it when they do this.
Oh it's this kind of reijo.
>>287174432NIGA
>>287174432nips are retarded like that. i went for "sakana" and got the amazon video. which is sometimes much better than CR so not that bad.
>>287167118oh wait is this what I think it is!? This is about the count's daughter who know martial arts right?
>>287174432Stupid long titles are good for webnovel visibility but shit for mass media marketing so they need a catchy shorthand.
>>287168188YesI'm basically Smeagol but instead of searching for the One Ring I search for the perfect annulled engagement/villainess shoujoOne day someone will put me out of my misery but today is not that day
>>287174558Scarlet's show was shit.SHIT.
>>287171073the blonde
>>287174998the prince did spoil it for me
>>287169701Go back to your anime website
Dumb Plan
it was kinda mid but this made me lolgonna keep watching
>>287168079Ready to enjoi Otomekino
>>287174747lol
>>287173105I watched it, but I admit Tiara show is not on the top
>>287173885But he is the heir to the throne, so for MC he is a good party
you can stop spamming character profiles now
>>287176781I can fix her.
>>287174998Why's it gotta be a competition? They can beat the shit out of people together!
>>287168188Yes
Hopefully this one is more cute dork more akin to dorkness than we got from last seasons show.A cold open to the required template.She has a brass knuckles hair ornament. Is she going to be like Scarlet and punch nerds and losers? That was fun.She's a cute dork already. She seems like she'll be a lot of fun.Was that the ceiling reflection in the tea? Nice touch.Is this going to turn yuri so she can save her friend from the same fate?Nice transition effect.We got a drills down.Nice of the school to put on these little mixers.These retards deserve each other. However that would kinda cuck her friend. Her little brother is going to have a hard life growing up. Two men in a house full of women.Surprised she didn't fix the carriage with dork powers.Very elaborate shot coming in the event doors.Figured her friend was going to get dumped.Very cute loli dorks hugging.This is going to be a fun show.
Nice show. Cute dork. I'll watch.
Quarterly reminder that big tits are normal in shoujo now.
>>287177737>dork powersi expected her to lift the carriage to change a wheel
>>287178497Same, I was surprised she didn't.
>>287167118PUT THE VILLAINESS SLOP IN MY VEINS
>>287176914Geese Howard
I liked the colour palette in this one. It was very soft.
>>287179338I like that they're going for colorful instead of the pastel look almost every villainess show goes for
>>287179352The depth of the shadows really helps with that, keeps it from looking monotonous even though so much is golden gold, lilac, pink, and baby blue. It's almost naturalistic lighting.
I'll be interested to see if the slight over exaggeration in the animation sticks around or if it disappears after the first few episodes
>>287179338judging just anime, the style is pretty round/smooth, serizawa-san is doing great as mimi, overall the audiovisuals are good.i like the italian naming style too.
>>287168538Not one but two hairs to show she's a cutie.
>>287171710the least unhinged akujo
I like watching shojo so I understand what kind of men womoids like
>>287180933Shoujo is a terrible experience for that because all of the men in shoujo are broken because the FeMC needs to 'fix' them. nobody would want a shoujo male lead IRL any more than you would like an RL abusive tsundere
>>287178819this
>>287167118I'm literally only picking this up because I like to say NIGASHITA.
>>287167118wtf bros is he blind lmao
ok kino 1st episode, enjoying the vibes. after the let down of eris and the other nobleslop with engagement called off shit last season, I'm CAUTIOUSLY optimistic
>>287171073red dressyellow dress very close as that's closer to my UOH ideal
>>287171073hard sell. feMC is too sporty, blue is clearly some degree of schemer, and dark red is likely the kindest here but too meek.
>>287168079I am seated
>>287168079yeah I'm watcing
>>287187319>started off as a strong independent gorilla in ep1>gets choked and raped in ep12what went wrong?
>>287187781She's still a woman.
>>287187781Instead of gorillamaxxing she fell for a squirrel
This kind of show usually falls off right after the first episode. Among the recent stuff I can only recall KanpekiSeijo being good for most of its run.
>>287188464Phillia's show was great. I enjoyed the threads as well.
>>287188559I loved how this was her sister Mia's show for most of the run.
>>287171710Iana-bros, please forgive my blunder. I added you to my list for future use.>>287172922Added Tiara, even though I dropped her show late like Melphie's show.
>>287188964Iana is literally insane.
>>287167118Reporting in.
>>287184369Cute
2nd episode previews look like it's going to show Girl abilities more. This whole episode was just set up. This show is based on light novel
>>287189150It's not insane to have chuuni fantasies.
>>287191567Have you read the LNs? There's not even a fan translation that I'm aware of so I've only read the manga where most of this episode didn't exist. Think Placido(and maybe even Aida herself) got more screen time in this one ep than they did in all the manga chapters so far.
>>287176781She is dead
>>287167118Finally watched the first episode.I would have clapped if she had bonked the retarded prince at the end but maybe I will watch the 2 episode too.I'm still unsure for now.
>>287173105I watched it until the end and deeply regret it.
>>287192331shouldn't have been a bitch hm?
