Episode 4 – The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess

The dark history of the reincarnated evil girl The animation was never particularly impressive, but it’s never really been that important before. Decades of directing hilarious comedies have given Sakurai Hiroaki Ability to do a lot more than just fight limited animation But find a way to make it work for him. He started with things like dijicharat and Cromarty High Schoolso even if dark historyThe animation is weak, but interesting and gets the message across.

But this approach doesn’t quite work when the episode is supposed to center on the duel. To do this, you need a certain level of animation budget, or at least an animation team that knows how to do a lot with very little. Feel It’s like you’re watching a great fight scene. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re doing.

But first, let’s talk about how we dueled. Despite Ianna’s attempts to dissuade her, Yumi remains determined to assassinate Konoha in her name, and anyone who stands in the way of this goal. Namely Saul and Ginoford. He attempts to destroy the three perceived enemies using a variety of methods, including sudden magical gusts, poison, and summoning piranhas, until he tires of being thwarted and challenges Thor to a duel.

Through it all, Ianna was plagued by feelings of guilt. Thor is twisted with backstory she Gave it to him. she He was the one who allowed his older siblings to abuse him. she The one who made him love her so exclusively that he even killed someone for her. And, in her first draft, she The one who made him die dramatically so Konoha would have someone to mourn beautifully. And everything she did was to satisfy her own emotional needs! She does it because she’s angry because some boy in her middle school took a pretty girl’s piece and pushed it on her, and she wants to be treated like the heroine of a love story.

While I’m glad that all the frustrating things about her life during adolescence are sublimated, I’m also a little tired of Ianna’s guilt about it. Not only did she create all of these problems, but she never imagined that there was a world in which these characters were real and suffered from all of the problems that she caused them. I wouldn’t be so annoyed by this except that I’ve met people in real life who seem to think the author is doing it out of sleaze by building plots around conflict and drama rather than, you know, trying to tell an interesting story. Or that it would be unkind to use fiction to ease the disappointment of not being asked to dance at a school festival, when in fact it might be healthiest way out. We can talk all day about whether novels convey morals and values ​​and reinforce certain narratives, but a teenage girl can never go wrong writing self-indulgent novels.

Also, when Iana describes Yomi as having a “great personality,” it makes me seriously question her taste in men. High social status? Undeniable. Does it look good? Subjective, but I certainly wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating a cookie. But does it have a good personality? His refusal to listen to Ianna’s protests that she really, really doesn’t want him to murder Konoha seems unqualified to me.

After several failed assassination attempts, Yumi challenges Thor to a duel. Ianna describes the duels she includes as “doing nothing to advance the plot,” but she does come up with a formal system for them! It’s definitely the kind of contrived thing you find in low-rent fantasies: Yumi takes off her gloves and throws them away. Thor picks it up and accepts his challenge because ignoring it will “change” [his] Return to the God of War. “Ianna’s guilt may be annoying, but does she feel screamingly embarrassed when she hears her own mean, overwrought world-building described out loud? That’s true.

The two duelists then announced which hand they would wield their swords with and all I could think was “I’m not left-handed!” The scene is from princess bride. Yomi is very ambidextrous because Of course he is. As mentioned, the animation for the duels is weak at best – the duelists wield their strangely colored swords, much to Ianna’s chagrin because it’s tonally inappropriate. insert song Play – It didn’t come up in my previous review, but this show has one a lot of of insert song. Not even Konoha’s tears could stop the two, forcing Ianna to take responsibility once again and take the lead in the narrative she created, taking Thor’s sword herself.

Rating: 3.5
