Review of Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
I don't know, how I should feel about this Anime, because whatever perspective I look on it, it always has good and bad parts. This Anime is part of the Otome-Game-Isekai subgenre and I am not really the target audience, but I also don't really get what the main target of this show is meant to be. For girls that like girly stuff and romance, there is not really much girly stuff and the romance shown. Some characters, in theory, love each other at least, but they just say and don't show it. They don't seem to feel anything and are not able to transport the feelings very well. Problemhere is also the lack of expression form the main character.
And for girls that like Isekai and Fantasy Anime with battling, this Anime has a bit more combat and Fantasy stuff than some of the other Otome-Isekai, but if I where a girl I probably rater watch an real Fantasy Anime or an real Romance Anime.
I think the story is okay, but the Anime has different flaws.
Already talked about the lack of shown feelings, but also the music, animation and other is just average.
Nice to watch, but nothing special.
Also it has CGI Animations in them again and these still don't look good.
Also I found the ending a bit annoying, because it is misleading.
It probably was meant to be a representation of Eleanoras dreams or something, but nothing of it happened in the Anime.
I was expecting at least some more 'girl time' between Eleanora and Yumiella, but except for talking they did nothing.
If this is how friendship works, I do some things wrong.
Compared to other of the Otome-Game-Isekai Anime, this one was a bit better, but compared to other Anime in general, this one was nothing really remarkable.
It is nice, if you are tired/exhausted and don't have any expectations for now, but if you want to enjoy your time with a good Anime there are probably hundreds more, that fit better.
If you really want to watch an Isekai or Otome-Game-Isekai you can watch this one as-well, but if you just want to watch an Anime, you might want to look for something better.
