Chapter 24:
Am I losing Interest in Writing?
This is my review of an anime called Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
"
Man, what an anime. I have mentioned that I don't even like action/fantasy anymore, but I want to at least give them a chance, and I freaking love this. Despite the 3D CGI, I really love how the story is better than a lot of isekai. This might as well be the same score as "I'm Quitting Heroing", but because of the CGI, it's a letdown.
How did I find this?
OPENING! Holy moly, Mayu's really pop off. I've been a fan of Myth and Roid since the Overlord days. I know how Mayu, the singer of that band, was leaving the band, so seeing Mayu's solo career, it feels so refreshing seeing her reach a lot of places. I'm in love.
Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
Just the premise.
I never told you this was, but I love a possession story, especially when the written character and the MC/possesser were total opposites. For example, a princess who's so kind and elegant got possessed by an evil overlord, or vice versa. It's such a unique story, in my opinion, and this anime delivered on that kind of premise.
Platform
It's available on Aniplus Asia, Bahamut Anime Crazy for Taiwan, Bilibili Global, and Crunchyroll. But I use a new streaming service to watch this. I watched this on Laftel, a Korean-based streaming service. It's a new streaming service that, I believe, is not available outside asian. I might be wrong, I'm not too sure.
The review;
Plot/Story
Survive the death of the character, the one that the MC inhabits, by being a gamer.
Yeah, it's an isekai villainess, what do you expect? It's been done many times, and this one is the same. But I must say, they did a great job conveying a lot of elements into this anime that make me want to see more. No joke, this anime was never on my top watch-list, but when I saw it on Laftel, I immediately watched it through from the beginning to the end. It's just that enjoyable, at least for me.
Character
Very flat but very enjoyable. The MC girl doesn't give a fuck about anything that happened around her, which I love about her for that. But that's just about it for her, like I enjoy her with her male lead more than her alone. It's that bad. Hey, at least she is relatable to some degree.
The most unique character in here is just her male lead, like I said. Dude is doing a lot just for Yumeillia to notice him. It's so cute of him to do that.
OST/SFX
Hands down one of my top OP. I love it a lot. The ED is just meh. I like it, but not to the same degree as the OP.
The OST on the anime itself, I give 2 thumbs up.
Animation
Ahhh, animation. It was jarring, jarring wasn't it?
It's not the best, but it's still watchable. To that I say, watch the show with a big open arm. Just... brace yourself. Lol
Don't get me wrong, the 2D is still great, it's just the 3D that will throw you off completely.
VA
2 thumbs up. Nothing needs to be said.
The conclusion;
The good
I'm glad to check anime out. I'm happy.
The bad
I heard the anime and manga have different endings from the LN and WN. Do I have to see those now? Gosh, dang it, dude. My readlist keeps on getting bigger and bigger.
Overall 6.7/10
I enjoy the show, but not too sure if people would like it or not.
