SPOILERS ARE MARKED WITH TAGS Overview I had no idea Id end up enjoying it this much when I added it to my Planning. But from the beginning I was hooked. Its certainly one to remember and a great way to start diving into otome game anime. Endo and Kobayashi are a pair of highschoolers who are in the Broadcast Club and share a mutual interest: Magikoi or the full title in English Love Me Magically a fantasy otome game. They like talking about it and playing it together. It all seems perfectly normal doesnt it? Until one day as they turn it on to play at Kobayashis house something strange happens. THE 4TH WALL IS BROKEN Prince Sieg one of the games characters can suddenly hear their voices and thinks they are divine beings With this in mind Endo and Kobayashi decide to take advantage of this power and use it to steer sweet tsundere Lieselotte Siegs fiance villainess of Magikoi and the pairs favorite character away from her bad ending. How? By deciding to become Endo the Commentator and Kobayashi the Expert Analyst of course Its evident early on that theres a goal to achieve here and not only do they accomplish it by the end of the anime but theres also a hidden twist to look forward to. Sorry I made a nospoiler policy some time ago and I think its best you find out yourself instead of peeling open those spoiler tags. If youre in the market for a good fantasy anime with plenty of romance an otome game isekai well its somewhat an isekai but not fully under that definition or some 4th wall destruction and tsundere ness look no further. Its definitely worth the hype. I mean it even managed to hook my mom about halfway in this is where the pressure starts pushing as Camp PressureMMOtowriteagoodreviewforLieselotte gives me intense stares to ensure I cover every single good point The Good/Positive Whats the first thing you think about when you think of the show? Thats right the title. The title that includes the words tsundere villainess Lieselotte. Lieselotte is truly a great character worth that short description and more. Her tsundere ness can get quite adorable at times and even more so when Sieg gets advised and expresses himself more visibly. Those couple moments can get really cute and cued internal Kobayashi definitely enjoyable to watch especially as their relationship progresses. On the topic of couples Fiene and Bal were quite something as well. The contrast between their personalities is just as fun to see as Sieg and Lieselottes what with Bal being so forward and Fiene being well somewhat shy Fiene. Its fairly obvious that Fiene and Bal arent the couple in center stage but I was satisfied with the amount of screen time they did get. Points added. But before I move past this topic Endo and Kobayashi were a good unofficial for the most part couple as well. Some of the parts I really enjoyed and could relate to internally were when Kobayashi got really excited about what was happening in the game. Other great moments were when and So yeah those were some great characters and character interactions. Im sure that was one of the main factors that made it popular. actually I dont even know if it was popular or not but I think it was The plot was pretty linear at first: assemble your characters into a team and battle the final boss dont let Lieselotte die. Now that twist near the end aside The plot was nice and savory. Actually it was more on the sweet side what with Lieselottes tsundere ness and all. Again minus that twisted bit the plot was paced out perfectly. No rush no fast pace no filler episodes and no snail bits. The plot weighs pretty heavily for me whenever I decide if a show was good or not. Points added. That should be enough good points no? I shouldnt drag on too long wasted enough time as is already when posting this review. Time for the negatives The Bad/Negative The most noticeable thing that every Lieselotte fan would agree on is: the poor animation. Its sad but true. The characters were amazing the plot carried well But the animation/art style quality was undeserved TT It was one of the first things I noticed ngl. Ofc the rest of the anime made up for that. It just goes to show that life is a series of give and take. Better that the looks are where everything goes wrong than one of the more vital aspects Now Ill try my best not to spoil because this review should be a thorough analysis of my thoughts and not including this next topic would be a halfbaked job. I will try not to spoil too much but you have been warned Read at your own risk if you click this spoiler tag. Or you can move on to the next section. SPOILERS Phew now that Ive got that over with Time for the last section and to finally post this review and get it over with. My next one should not be waiting this long. Do I Recommend? Yes. 100 would recommend watching. not just because that camp would kill me if I didnt say that Its pretty unfair to just say yes without providing reason so If you like the following: cute tsundere women/girls otome game anime Harry Potter and Hogwarts style settings ngl decent attention for ALL the couples in a romance anime laughing or fangirling/equivalent Then you will enjoy this show for anyone who caresthis show hooked in the infamous Momtaku
