Complete and utter waste of time.
It started off pretty well, set up an interesting world with many possibilities and and interesting cast of characters.
However, at around episode 7, or whenever the prince "killed" the vampire girl, the show went to complete shit. Character motivations were all over the place, plot points were contrived and forced, every action, every feeling of every character felt completely fake and forced to create a sense of "drama" the show ends with a complete cop-out ending, where the main character goes into a hissy fit about being a princess vs her girlfriend whining about wanting to kill herself to take over as a spirit ruler--no other alternatives were even discussed, the idea of nobility having to be magicians is just treated as a fact of life that cannot…

I really really wanted to like this! It starts off super strong with a very unique premise where the mc is strong, LOVES magic, but CAN'T use magic.
Instead, she's developing magic tools using magic stones to fulfill her dreams of being a magician. Sounds very intriguing!
Her character is quirky and a bit plain, which is balanced by the secondary character who is very pretty and well-reserved. Although to be honest, the overall art and animation for this anime is really beautiful. Most characters, food, scenes, are drawn beautifully.
I love the parents, particularly the fathers in this anime too. The little scenes and side stories were great.
So what's not to love?
The bigger plot.
While they did really well in most parts, the bigger overall stuff was so annoyingly bad.
Like, the v…

It delivered the basis of the manga, but I felt like it left too many gaps. As someone who read the manga after watching it, maybe that's 100% the anime's proposal to make you interested in reading it, but at the same time I understand that it's a short season and an anime that no one expected to be successful, so everything needed to have a beginning and an end in a direct line, without leaving room for continuations, but unfortunately it doesn't fully fulfill the real connection that the two have, it doesn't show enough for them to be completely in love, the art is incredible and delivers the emotions conveyed in the manga as a whole, but I don't see the depth of their relationship exposed as it should. Maybe with an extra movie or a 2nd season, this feeling of gaps between them will fin…

I am beyond shocked at how good this show turned out to be for me. Despite the silly introductory episodes, I didn’t have high hopes going into watching it. However by the end it actually became my favorite show I’ve ever watched, which completely took me by surprise judging by the mixed reviews here.
Anis (the main character) has such a magnetic personality, despite the tone shift towards the end of the show. Euphyllia’s personality also undergoes a major shift throughout the show, and at the risk of spoiling, I’ll just say that despite the confused reviews the show sets this theme from the very beginning through Anis’s motives.
The second half of the season is one of the best stretches of a show I’ve ever watched. Others seem to be frustrated with the amount of plot in the second half, b…

I think this show's writing is very sloppy and suffers from a lack of focus. I was expecting a cute romance with a fantasy royalty backdrop, but I ended up getting poorly realized political drama and flimsy worldbuilding, with a little romance on the side.
I'm usualy not one to fuzz about stuff like this but I think the magic system, the basis for the entire setting, is kinda wack. It's like they decided the names of the spells before they invented them. Like, how did the work of the old masters end up at "Water Hammer?"*
*water hammer = a hammer made out of water. (╯▔皿▔)╯
The worldbuilding being as underdeveloped as it is wouldn't have been such a problem if the show just focused on its strong points, the cute yuri moments and the romance, but I was surprised to see this take a backsea…

Started good but fell apart in the first few episodes. If you are expecting a fun isekai with yuri then don't watch this. It is full of melodrama. Like too much melodrama. There is hardly any focus on the magic science that the protagonist is supposed to be all over. Rather it focuses more on interpersonal relations and politics. Btw the parents are horrible. The nobles are horrible. And there isn't any revolution by the protagonist. Rather she totally conforms to them. Euphyllia would have been a better protagonist since her character development is actually quite good. She is great by the last episode. Comparatively I liked the protagonist in the beginning but by 11th episode I wanted to drop it due to her. I only finished since there was just 1 more ep left. I hope this doesn't get anot…

This is the most 5/10 series you could get. An isekai in name only with some cool spells and rules and boring creatures, characters who appear out of nowhere that are great in concept but get barely used, crucial character traits that are completely forgotten near the end and to top it off the most boring and repetitive character designs wearing decent outfits... I only watched it for the lesbians and even that aspect is mediocre. The core couple gets an imperfect and rushed development at the start, barely speak to each other for half of the series until the last 3 chapters and their marriage as queens doesn't happen, which would be literally the only satisfying conclusion to the entire plot. Even then, the secondary characters have it much worse in that regard. The king has a wife appear…

Really this anime is so cute an wholesome, if you havent seen it do yourself a favor and do, its an emotional rollercoaster where you fall in love with bot main characters, i personally cried a lot during this anime, i loved it, tbh one of the best yuris i´ve ever seen, really, you get catched up on this anime since episode one and you´ll finish it fast, characters have a good backstory and in my opinion each of them has a unique personality, the art is amazing i swear, there are some combat scenes where you go lit crazy from how good it is, even if it is isekaish i think as a couple the two main characters live very common situations between lesbian couples, im sure youll love it as much as i did, and if youre searching for a cute yuri to watch, please choose this one.

While the premise is quite interesting, the real deal turns out to be not so much. While the show is better than most of it's isekai brethren, it's still not something I would recommend. It's characters, while having potential, mostly used for already well-trodden tropes that aren't even utilized that good. There are hints of romance, adventure and politics, but none of them are explored well and main conflict turns out to be contrived drama.
Maybe there is more to this franchise, maybe there will be season 2 where everything will turn out to be awesome. But as it stands, this anime compares better only to LitRPG adaptations and other works of such caliber.

I don't write reviews but i just had to vent and ramble a bit so here you go.
After reading the positive reviews, i went into this anime expecting to enjoy it but it was a dissapointment.
The story is generic but slightly interesting and i thought the first episodes weren't bad but i struggled to finish the last 5 episodes. There was nothing interesting at that point. Now the reason i hate this so much is the characters and the dialogue, OH BOY , i was feeling pain from how cliche and cringe they were. The only good thing here was the animation.
I regret wasting my time watching this.

Such boring dialogue and characters in this show. It’s like the script was made overnight using chatgpt. They legit kept repeating the same shit with slight variations on how they say it. The main character, Anus? She literally reincarnated as an npc.
Even worse, the characters seemed like shitty copy and paste from other anime’s. Emilia from Re:Zero meets Catarina/Chisato from Otome Game/Lycoris. Story had potential, but the directors wanted to force the Yuri aspect of it as cheap bait.
I have nothing against girl x girl romance, but when its the only thing the show has going for it, yeah boring.....Overall just a really predictable story, with the isekai buzzword thrown in, and one dimensional characters.
For those reasons, I wouldn’t recommend watching this at all, and am only giv…

Viva the Yuri Revolution!!
Or that’s what I’d say if this series left me feeling excited about it. Sadly I didn’t really enjoy it as a whole.
I enjoyed PARTS of this show, but way, way too much of it was bogged down in seriousness and depression. Why can’t I just have a cute little yuri isekai slice of life series???? I dislike series that can’t pick a tone, and this series definitely had that issue. It started off with the hilarious antics of this bloody, wild princess, who steals away her brother’s fiancé to take for herself. It’s very comedic. I was legitimately laughing at how the princess shows up the first time. I need a good laugh these days. Life’s too serious to be serious all the time.
But, the problem comes after this, because all of the important obstacles in the story are T…

As a fan of the light novels I'm beyond pleased that this is one of the best looking shows Diomedea has ever made. I'm glad they covered the whole first arc, or the first three volumes of the light novel, but they kind of had to skip some dialogue that makes the story more coherent. Still, with 12 episodes they did a pretty good job at covering everything I wanted them to cover, though there should be no reason they couldn't have had 13 episodes.
Speaking more about the anime itself, MagiRevo really is a cut above most isekai (as the serious yuri ones tend to be) in that it's very clearly a planned out story, rather than the author thinking of a setup/gimmick and going from there. While entirely faithful to the novels, Diomedea really hammered in the gay parts while skimming through some o…

I wasn't sure sure why this show was fetting such good reviews until I watched the last episode. It seems that a yuri ending will help a show through the rankings when it has (almost) nothing else going for it.
On a more serious note I can't in all honesty say this was a bad show. The animation is on point, the story, in spite of being quite stereotypical, is still good enough to be worth watching. On the other hand I can't say it was a good show either. The dialogue are overly lenghty and repetitive, to the point that I alomost had to fast forward through some of them. Some people may like that but it was a complete turn-off for me.

Tenten Kakumei is one of the best examples of a LGBTQ relationship you’ll see in this medium. It is extremely refreshing to see a serious, healthy, non-overly sexualised relationship between two young women. Add great world-building and writing to that and you’ve got the recipe for one of my favourite fantasy series.
Now, I loved the first half of the show adaptation-wise, but I did have quite a few issues with how the studio handled things in the second half that I’ll touch on later. The anime on its own is very good. Not only does it give us that healthy relationship between Anis and Euphie, but the Diomedea make the world feel so alive. You can really feel the political and social tension in every episode. Having Anis navigate a sexist and status obsessed world as both a woman and as s…

To summarise how Tenten Kakumei was, it's how the anime managed to subvert my expectations towards its cast of characters and seems to have effort being put into them. It was a pleasant surprise to watch with my original expectations going negative with both of the themes stating 'Isekai' and 'Reincarnation', although such a thing doesn't seem to arise throughout the whole show (it just seems to be there with no apparent reason). There are some minor spoilers, though I put them out of context.
First Pro: There is effort given into writing these characters.
- It doesn't quite reach the top-tier level of characters we so adore, but their motives, characteristics, and actions align well with each other that makes you want to root for them, although I barely felt any affection towards any of…

When I say the word: “Princess.” What kind of impression comes into your mind? Now, take that impression of yours, and throw that in the bin, because this Princess is not your typical fantasy princess. Elegant? What is that? Princess Anis does not give two shits about being elegant while happily walking around the castle in a blood-soaked dress and wearing the head of a monster who is the latest’s victim of Anis’ rampage.
Princess Anisphia “Anis” Wynn Palletia is the reason this anime is so enjoyable. Her erratic and unpredictable behaviour brings life into this already amazing show. Her passion for developing magical tools (magicology) is so infectious that it not only affects the character in the anime but the audience itself. You can’t help but love and adore her.
Such an amazing ch…

Tensei Oujo a.k.a MagiRevo: the second coming of Lycoris Recoil, only if it's made in total liberal fantasy.
For the 2nd Isekai/fantasy show in a row, studio Diomedéa has done it again, this time dabbling with the Yuri genre. And in a season where there is no less of notoriety to talk about, novelist Piero Karasu's only work that is Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei a.k.a The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady (or simply shortened to MagiRevo) easily stands out as one of the best Winter shows, period. And this is no contest in the slew of more than a dozen Isekai/fantasy shows where each and every one of them is fighting for the utmost attention, yet MagiRevo manages to do the seemingly impossible: to have a Yuri show be one of the few po…

In an era riddled with isekai with boring power fantasies, overpowered characters, and poor production, this anime was a gem of its genre, although this show is more disconnected from the isekai aspect, and more on the fantasy aspect. I will admit, when I saw this show announced, I thought it would be yet another generic isekai, but just with yuri. Seeing that Studio Diomedéa at the helm, and with their recent anime such as Futsal Boys, and Domestic Girlfriend, I wrote this one off entirely. I eventually did try it out, and following a premiere that stumbled out of the gates, it improved into something quite special, with impressive animation, characters, and thought-provoking themes.
Stories surrounding royalty always fall into the age old trope of in-fighting inside the palace, and a th…
