My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! · review
7
/10
This show is a beautiful and sawdust flavored mixture of "My life as a villainess" and "public domain harem show template." The result is probably pretty good for a harem show that never pauses for physical fan-service, but is pretty boring and bland by any other standard. The main issue is that "all routes lead to doom" is a footnote that appears in the first and last episodes only. This show is never able to credibly re-establish its stakes, its sense of threat, or even its sense of direction. If you really want to milk a tense thriller out of it, watch episodes 1, 2, 3, 10,11, and 12 and then drop it.
