My next life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to doom!

My Next Life as a Villainess – Chaos, Charm, and Zero Doom Flags
SPOILERS AHEAD – But don’t worry, no one dies (emotionally maybe).

Let me start with this:
I liked this anime simply because it was simple.

It didn’t try too hard. It followed its own rules. It gave us comedy, a little romance, and just enough heart to keep us invested — all while poking fun at the isekai genre in the most charming way.

Catarina Claes: Queen of Accidental Peacekeeping

Catarina is everything her pre-reincarnation self wasn’t — sweet, chaotic, and unintentionally lovable.

She gets reborn into the world of a video game she used to play, and instead of trying to conquer it, she just wants to avoid getting murdered or exiled. The twist? She’s not the heroine. She’s the villainess.

But plot twist again — she derails the entire game.

By being her kind, silly, clumsy self, she ends up making everyone fall in love with her. Like… literally everyone.

She doesn’t even try. She’s just out here touching hearts, planting vegetables, and dodging doom flags with a big ol’ grin on her face. Honestly? Goals.

A Show That Belongs to the Fans

Now, let’s talk shipping.

The show clearly isn’t pushing her toward anyone too strongly, because it’s leaving that part up to us — the fans. And I respect that. This anime feels like one big open fanfic playground.

BUT.

If I had to choose? It’s Geordo for me.

He’s loyal, strong, and genuinely supportive of who she is — even when she doesn’t realize her own impact. That kind of love? Quiet, constant, and undemanding?
That’s the real deal.

Final Thoughts: Sweet, Simple, and Totally Rewatchable

This anime won’t change your life.
But it will make you laugh, smile, and maybe yell “just kiss already” at your screen.

It’s wholesome chaos wrapped in pastel-colored joy, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
Catarina didn’t just change her fate — she changed the whole game by being herself.

And that’s a message worth watching.

Beastars!

Beastars – From Groundbreaking to Barely Growling
SPOILERS AHEAD – Beware the bite

Okay, so I’ve officially watched both seasons of Beastars now — and whew.
I loved the first season.
The second?
Let’s just say… I could’ve done without it.

---

Season 1: Hooked from Start to Finish

The first season was fresh. It was raunchy, smart, emotionally heavy, and surprisingly grounded for a world where animals are trying to solve a murder between midterms.

• The romance? Addictive.

• The mystery? Suspenseful.

• The drama? Edge of my seat.

It felt like a mature slice of life with teeth — literally and figuratively. It didn’t pull punches and made me care about every moment. That’s just good writing. And the directing? Chef’s kiss.

So when they greenlit Season 2 almost immediately, I was ready. I wanted more story. More character growth. More drama.

But instead, I got confusion, bro-bonding, and bunny neglect.

---

Season 2: A Wolf, a Lion, and a Lost Plot

Let’s talk about Season 2.

Right off the bat — where was Haru? Our tiny, emotionally complex, bold little bunny? Barely there. And when she did show up, she was background noise.

Meanwhile, Legoshi spent most of the season… not eating meat. Which, I get, symbolically was about his struggle to respect herbivores — but it also turned him visibly pale, literally and figuratively. Watching a malnourished gray wolf pretend he could win a fight against a fully grown bear? No thank you.

Also, what happened to the two-world dynamic? Season 1 clearly separated predator and prey society. Then suddenly it felt like it all blurred together — and not in a deep, meaningful way. Just in a “wait, did we forget our own setup?” kind of way.

---

Louis the Lion Boss? I’m Still Confused.

Now, Louis. Louis.
Homeboy went from student body president to Yakuza lion boss overnight.

He dropped out of school to "change the world from the outside," and I’m like... sir, you're 18. Who gave this child a crime syndicate and a philosophy degree?

The idea was intriguing, but it didn’t land. His story arc felt so left-field that even the writers seemed unsure what to do with him.

And yes, I get the mutual respect moment when Louis gave Legoshi his leg to eat. Symbolically, I see it. But narratively? It felt like the story was saying, “To earn respect in this world, an herbivore must offer themselves to a carnivore.”
Yikes.

---

The Fight That Should’ve Been a Phone Call

Let’s talk about the final showdown:
Legoshi vs. The Bear.

A bear who’s legally an adult. A bear who ate someone. A bear who should’ve been arrested.

Instead, we get a fight scene that felt like a fever dream — because even after Legoshi ingests meat from Louis (which, okay, wild), he still gets tossed around.

Where were the police? Where was the logic? Why did a school have a giant snake security guard that couldn't even solve the murder until Legoshi did?
None of it made sense.

---

Final Thoughts: Hope Isn’t Lost… Yet

Despite all this?
I still want another season.

I genuinely think the creators were under pressure. Season 2 felt rushed, disconnected, and like it was written while the paint was still drying on Season 1’s success. But I know they can do better. They proved it already.

And while I’ll probably never read the manga (I can’t read and watch the same story — I just can’t), I will be seated for another anime season if it drops.
Just… please. Take your time. Tighten the plot. Respect your own characters.

Let the brilliance of Season 1 shine again.

Until next time,

Dorohedoro

Dorohedoro – Beautifully Ugly, Strangely Addictive
Spoiler-Free Vibes (Mostly)

This anime is weird.
Like... really weird.

And yet, I found myself strangely drawn to it. One minute I’m annoyed at the main character Kaiman, yelling at my screen, and the next I’m sitting there in awe of the worldbuilding like, “Wait... what did I just watch?”

---

Two Worlds? One World? Who Knows.

The story kicks off with a fascinating setup: two distinct realms — The Hole (a gritty, terrifying mess of a place) and the sorcerer world (equally twisted, but more magical). At first, I was into it. The contrast. The culture clash. The chaos.

But somewhere along the way... it kind of blurred. Like the writer forgot about the whole dual-realm thing and just mashed it all together.

Not gonna lie, it threw me off a bit. But not enough to stop watching.

---

Kaiman = Chaos. Nikaido = Give Me More.

Kaiman as a character? Hit or miss. Some scenes, I’m like, “YES. This lizard man is unhinged and I love it.”
Other times? Total eye-roll.

But then there’s Nikaido — and I’m all in. She’s got backstory. Complexity. Fire. If the show focused more on her, I’d be 1000% invested. Her arc has real depth, and I’m hoping the next season (which I think is greenlit — fingers crossed) digs deeper into her side of the story.

---

Final Thoughts: So Bad... But Also So Good?

Dorohedoro is one of those chaotic anime that’s hard to explain.
It’s gritty. It’s gross. It’s kind of confusing.

And yet... I enjoyed it.
I’m still unsure if I love it, but I know I’ll be watching Season 2 when it drops.

Sometimes, it’s the mess that makes things beautiful.

Sorry this one’s short.

Re:Zero Starting life in another world

Re:Zero – Still Stuck in Another World, Still Worth the Ride
SPOILERS AHEAD – You’ve been warned!

Let me just say this loud and clear:
I absolutely love, love, LOVE this anime.

I was late to the party — like, years late. I remember getting Re:Zero stickers in a mystery box at Anime Expo 2016, and now I’m lowkey kicking myself for not keeping every single one. Because after finally diving into this series? Yeah. I’m hooked. Completely.

---

A Time-Loop of Trauma (And I Loved Every Second)

From the very first season, Re:Zero had me.

• The time loops.

• The agony of watching Subaru die over and over.

• The strategy, the mental gymnastics, the emotional weight of trying to “do it right” every time...

It’s intense.
It’s smart.
And it’s so well done.

Even my boyfriend got into it — and let me tell you, that man is picky when it comes to anime. If he got into it, you know it’s something special.

---

The Final Season (…Kind Of)

Now, let’s talk about the final season.

I’m giving it grace.
It was finished during COVID. It was delayed because of COVID. And I suspect — heavily — that it was rushed out to meet a deadline or a contract.

Because honestly? It felt unfinished.

We were introduced to a new villainous group… only to have them vanish into flashbacks.
Rem — who fans adore and many shipped with Subaru — was just gone. MIA. The whole time.

Subaru didn’t even seem phased by her absence after a while, and that was just weird. Maybe it was a voice actor issue. Maybe it was a production thing. But it felt off.

---

A Knighted Hero With Too Many Loose Ends

Look, I love that Emilia finally knighted Subaru. That was a full-circle moment from Season 1, and it was well-earned.

But if we’re calling that “the end”… it didn’t feel like one.

• Memories were still missing.

• Plot threads were left hanging.

• There was no final emotional payoff.

It wasn’t even a satisfying loss, and those can be powerful in their own way. This just felt like… the story stopped mid-conversation.

---

The Creators Deserve Their Flowers (And a Break)

Here’s the thing:
I think the creators knew this wasn’t the full ending.

We were all living through the same global pandemic, and I respect the hell out of them for pushing through and giving us what they could. They worked with what they had, and they gave us something — and that’s no small feat.

But I truly hope they get the greenlight for either an OVA or another season. Not just to wrap things up, but to do it right. When the world heals, I hope the story can too.

---

Final Thoughts: Watch It. Trust Me.

I could write a full series review and it still wouldn’t do this anime justice. Re:Zero is an emotional rollercoaster with layers of depth, heartbreak, and clever storytelling that keeps you guessing.

Watch it. Experience it. Cry with it.
And maybe wait just a bit — because I feel another season coming.

Till next time,

Morbius

Morbius – A Bloody Good Time (Despite the Hate)
Spoilers Ahead, You’ve Been Warned

Okay. Let’s just rip this Band-Aid off:
Why does the world hate Jared Leto so much?

I genuinely don’t get it. He’s a well-rounded actor who commits to his roles. He doesn’t just slap on a costume and show up — the man studies. And whether you liked his Joker or not, you can’t deny it was very different from his Morbius. That alone proves his range.

He’s not a "one face fits all scenes" actor (cough Tom Cruise cough). Jared Leto brings something different to each performance — and Morbius was no exception.

---

The Movie Itself: Vampires, Origin Stories, and a Dash of Cheese

Let’s get into it. Morbius had me hooked from beginning to end. But full disclosure: I’m a vampire girl. 🦇 If there’s bloodsuckers involved, I’m probably already seated. If I could be one? Don’t even tempt me.

So yes, I might be slightly biased — but that doesn’t mean I don’t have critique.

The biggest issue for me? It’s another superhero origin story.

Now, now — before you hurl shame like a cheese wizard (yes, that Big Mouth reference was intentional) — hear me out. I’m just tired of the formula. We’ve seen it a thousand times:

1. Normal person with some kind of weakness

2. They stumble upon power (accident or otherwise)

3. Struggle to control it

4. Lose someone or something they love

5. Realize they have to be a hero

6. Boom. Suit up. Save the world.

I’m not saying origin stories are bad — I’m just saying we’ve had enough. Especially for major releases. Let the Disney+ shows handle those, and give us established heroes in the theaters.

---

What Morbius Did Right (and What It Skipped Over)

Despite that, Morbius kept me entertained.

• The pacing? Solid.

• The visuals? Surprisingly sleek.

• The homage to his classic comic book colors near the end? Chef’s kiss.

I wasn’t confused at any point in the story, and that’s rare these days with comic-based films trying to cram in ten subplots and a multiverse tease.

Yes, they glossed over a few things — like what happened to his girlfriend after that moment. But I respect the decision. It’s a setup. We’ll likely see more of her in the sequel.

And I actually liked that we weren’t told exactly when his friend took the serum. It added mystery. For a moment, even we weren’t sure if Morbius was killing people he cared about. That ambiguity worked. The director chose to trust the viewer’s intelligence — something modern cinema could do more often.

---

Final Thoughts: I’m Here for It (and for Him)

In the end, I give Morbius a solid 8/10.

If I wasn’t a vampire lover? Maybe a 7.5. But still — for a first-time take on this kind of character, it did what it needed to do.

Would I love to see Morbius again, fully fleshed out with deeper storytelling? Absolutely. But as a launchpad, it’s way better than people give it credit for.

So yeah, miss me with the Leto slander.
And fan pressure? Y’all need to chill and let people try new things without biting their heads off (pun intended).

Later, nerds.
