What the fah did I just watch bro.....it was an overall ok watch until last episode where everything was resolved with the power of love and I almost died from cringe to the point that I started to feel bad for the villainess. The fl was ok but the ml is so tacky oh lord, I am just so tired of the typical "shes not like other girls" troupe for the ml to get interested in the fl, like ok I get shes different and its such an overused troupe and the ml being ur typical sly dude whose always smiling but shows a different side towards the fl just feels cheap copy paste of what used to be popular troupe. On top of that, the fl and mls dynamic is rather meh and their romance is extremely bland and progressed fast due to being "I have always had an interest on you" troupe. Overall, its somewhat ok…

(EN-PT)
The anime starts off decently, but falls apart very quickly once the initial novelty wears off. After a few episodes, it becomes painfully repetitive and feels like it keeps recycling the same ideas over and over again without adding anything interesting.
The comedy completely missed the mark for me, and since the series heavily depends on it, a lot of scenes end up feeling empty instead of entertaining. The villain is also terrible, with a motivation that feels dumb and nonsensical, making the entire conflict hard to take seriously.
The characters overall are bland, forgettable, and poorly handled, which makes it even harder to care about what’s happening. In the end, this anime just feels generic and mediocre. There are way better series out there doing the same thing with far…

Blood Red Dress Are The Best
May I Ask for One Final Thing? is a show about the simple pleasures in life, the pleasure of a fist hitting its target, and feeling every bone crunching.
It's not a show about character arcs, It's not a show about the plot lines, It's a show about seeing evil people getting absolutely destroyed. It's pleasant to watch, the prince and main girls character dynamic is fun, but it never really escapes the surface level entertainment
My biggest problem with enjoying it, it's so black and white and the villains are so evil that they are perfect for getting punched, but they are almost irritating in how onenote they are.
It looks fine, It has good sound effects, There is nothing wrong on the production, and the character art style is very bright with good color.

One punch woman.
This is a dumb lighthearted happy anime. Powerful noble woman punching through her life and problems, and the problems themselves.
It is a slop story in which the second you think too much about it, you will find it ridiculously stupid, with a FMC that seems to be the strongest out there in the world, at least in strength.
But it has 2 elements in the story that make it more special:
1. FMC punches, and she keeps punches a lot. Considered a villainess, she does seem to act like one. But it starts to get a bit boring to watch, as it feels repetitive and predictable with pretty bad animation (if you can even call a slide show that)... but what am I saying, the whole story is predictable like 90%...
2. This is an isekai... but not the way you thought about it (not gonna s…

Where to even begin with this?
While an enjoyable series it was ultimately a let down, it had set the bar so high for itself in the first few episodes, set itself apart as a great series and daring to be different and then quickly slipped into mediocrity as it then progressed.
The first episode opened in the typical Villainess style with the confrontation and annulment of an engagement by the prince, however that is where it stopped following the typical format as Scarlet did the one thing every other Villainess had only dreamed of doing, deliver a swift punch that wipes the smug look off the face from our antagonist.
At this point I was completely sold on the series and ready to fall in love with it, all it had to do was keep it up
So where did it fall apart? To be blunt it didn't do an…

i could praise this show for its themes, the characters, the comedy, the romance and all of that would be fair. but honestly, the reason this show really matters to me, the thing that stands out most is simply watching scarlett absolutely beat the absolute shit out of men. that's it. that's what we needed as a society. that’s art. that’s cinema. it is what it is. im sorry, i don’t make the rules.
scarlet is easily one of my fav characters ive ever seen in any anime. i genuinely adore her. she’s incredibly important to the show, even when the story around her falls into cheesy or more conventional territory, she’s always entertaining.

Don’t get me wrong, the main female character is incredible. She is charismatic, funny, I love her.
But I did feel like there was no plot. The story itself was not that interesting and the “war” felt rushed.
It is cool to se a fierce women fight, but without a cool plot attached to it is just it. A woman fighting.
It is a solid anime for those who are looking for something outgoing, funny, and dynamic. The first episode was the best, it really catches your attention and makes you stay in the anime. But the rest of them didn’t do as much.

" Red crimson princess"
Better than I expected, my dear lady truly punched me with a fist of emotions. During preliminary eps you might think this is your another villainess seasonal stuff but it's totally different, i usually avoid this kind of familiar premise glad that i watched this . Music and ed piked my intrest to start this .
At most occasions characters try to hide his/her true nature and pretend to be something else despite of having a cool personality but here situation is reverse, my dear lady is a example of no holding back personality. If we talk about key details like animation and ost stuff it's perfect no use of cgi , awkward character designs , unnecessary fan service etc .
It's a complete story in 13 eps which is rare to see , perfect ending with no loopholes. Good to…

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. […] The object of power is power.”
- O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four (George Orwell)
Watching power fantasies is probably my very own special hell: I deeply despise most of them. The majority are soulless and cheaply made, and their predominance on the market reflects the current popularity of low-effort entertainment. They demand almost no narrative care, consistency, or restraint on the author's part and little investment—be it emotional or intellectual—on the recipient's side, which is why they are unchallenging to write and to watch. Ju…

Hilarious from start to finish.
Up front I should warn you, if you are looking for drama laced with comedy, or expansive and complex character arcs, you will not find them here. May I Ask For One Final Thing is a comedy first and foremost, in the spirit of classic sitcoms rather than comedic narratives. This is a story that takes a vibrant and eccentric cast of characters, throws them into different situations, and then lets the comedy write itself with hilarious results.
If you have ever watched a fantasy anime before, you will know there is a long list of character archetypes you want to see punched in the face. This is a show that delivers that satisfaction over and over. Provided you don't try to take it, or the drama and intrigue that drives the plot, seriously, you will find this s…

I genuinely wanted to enjoy this anime, but the execution was so poor that finishing it felt more like an obligation than a pleasure.
The premise itself is not particularly novel, yet it showed early promise. Scarlet being betrothed to a prince who discards her for another woman, only for her to move from passive victim of the Prince Kyle to an active participant in political affairs, was initially engaging. Up to episode two, the series was moderately enjoyable. Unfortunately, as the story progressed, that potential quickly dissipated.
Scarlet is written as both a Mary Sue and a character whose sole defining trait is physical aggression. Nothing ever truly goes wrong for her, and she faces no meaningful opposition. She never needs support in battle, as her victory is always guaranteed.…

At first, this anime looks promising. The conflict is set up well, the premise feels like it wants to take itself seriously, and the main character isn’t the typical soft, passive girl who just accepts her fate with a smile. Early on, it gives the impression that the story will explore consequences, emotions, and a colder approach to revenge. That alone is enough to raise expectations.
Unfortunately, from the middle toward the end, everything starts to feel empty.
Not because the story completely falls apart, but because the resolutions are far too safe. Many plot points that are built up and framed as important—treated like they’ll have a major impact—end up being resolved in a very underwhelming way. It’s the kind of resolution that makes you think, “That’s it?” There’s no real pressure,…

Ok, I wasn't expecting so "many" non-recommended reviews. I really can't figure it out why people like some meh series, but this one, that it clearly is tongue-in-cheek, felt too drab/ repetitive. So, here I am....
For those who don't wanna read it all: this anime is generic and enjoyable (dare I say). This is the kind of anime I was expecting while watching some other series, like (I'll butcher those names, hope you'll understand it anyway) "reincarnated for the 7th time", or one of those reincarnated as the villainess, or.... Well, you get the gist. Some perky lady with a "finally free" attitude. You have some kind of action, you have some kind of romance, you have some kind of comedy, but more importantly, you have some fun watching her beat the sht out of "bad people". And a very aspec…

I might be the party pooper here. Before I discuss the review, let me explain why I'm unable to recommend this series.
I have read many stories about the kingdom theme, especially on Webtoon, and boy, the stories felt like a carbon copy of each other, especially when it comes to action.
It always boiled down to the high-ranking people being evil, and the MC, who is at the bottom, tried to take them down. This is no different.
But hey, at least the last few episodes were great because of the hype they teased from the start.
Anyway.
How did I find this?
I actually found this because people were talking about it a lot on the Internet, especially on the Anime Reactor space.
Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
I don't. I actually never wanted to invest my time in this series, but I wa…

A fantasy that, with few elements, managed to be fresh enough to captivate the viewer.
Saigo ni Hitotsu is a one-trick pony. A villain appears, the protagonist arrives, and she punches the villain. The cycle repeats for all 13 episodes of the anime. The point is that the anime is aware of its reliance on this trope. Therefore, it seeks the best way to build an entire story around its protagonist. First, it understands that anime is visually appealing, which leads to incredibly beautiful character designs. The characters are mostly gorgeous and beautiful, with the exception of those intentionally made ugly. The costumes, backgrounds, effects—everything is designed to enhance the characters' beauty. Second, it tries to build a story solid enough so that its greatest attraction doesn't becom…

It's a mediocre show that manages a good final rating on the backs of a couple truly stellar choices.
The premise is amazing, and it DOES deliver on it well. The voiceacting is decent, and it has a good sense of comedic timing. However, the animation is fairly lackluster, the writing is nothing to write home about, It's worldbuilding is lazy, its fight choreography is ultimately lacking, its plot is cliched and simplistic, and its themes are hackneyed.
By episode 4 I regularly found myself just mashing the skip forward button, and by episode 8 you can safely skip entire episodes because you already know what's going to happen in them and you're just waiting for the show to get on with the good bit. It's also a fairly combat-centric show, and it devotes a large chunk of its runtime to fig…

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would, it's such a treat! Plainly, seeing a female-lead throw hands and stand up for herself and what she does is so nice to see.
I had one minor gripe with this series though. It's small and nothing comes of it so it's not a big deal, but personally I wasn't a fan of how Julius addresses Scarlet as a "plaything" or a source of "entertainment ". It irked me a bit, but thankfully it didn't have much impact so I can dismiss it.
But ignoring that issue, the rest was great! Characters were all a lot of fun and I think written solidly enough for this series. I haven't seen many villainess so unsure how this compares to others but I thought it was pretty damn good :D
Animation of this isn't anything remarkable. It's good and decent, but nothing…

The start of this anime is solid, captivates you for 1-3 episodes but then it falls short afterward.
The story is very dull and repetitive. Every episode is about the FL punching someone in the face, which I get it, it's the premise of this series. The comedy is non existent in my opinion, the action scenes are average at best, the animation is good but nothing mind blowing which is fine I guess considering this type of anime.
The story is extremely repetitive, if you skip an episode it won't be a problem, you'll get the gist of what's happening.
The characters have no depth or growth not even a bit of development and are poorly written. The FL and ML have no chemistry, I don't understand how they are together it was so forced and the romance is lacking. The villainess has no purpose tbh…

Radiant, mesmerizing, devastatingly gorgeous, ethereal, luminous, enchanting, spellbinding, magnetic, regal, elegant, ravishing, breathtaking, divine, immaculate, celestial, otherworldly, bewitching, transcendent, captivating, flawless, statuesque, resplendent, alluring, oh I run out of words to describe you Scarlet El Vandimion. You rocked my world and made this anime of the season by a mile. Badass female leads who just beat the crap out of horrible men will ALWAYS be a trope I’m down for and this is one of the best executions of said trope yet. Scarlet is sort of like a mix of Goku with that constantly wanting to fight gimmick and some of the more strategic fantasy shojosei leads in recent years. Yes, she likes to beat the crap out of people, but she’s also very calculating and prudent…

May I Ask For One Final Thing? - May I ask for the old sweet villainess touch of punches? I don't mind being evil to receive love in the most freakish way possible.
For over 5 years now, the villainess theme has come around towards integrating itself into the whole isekai/fantasy schtick, and it has caused quite the trend for the anime/manga industry to find those series and produce them for the small screen. We've been served quite a lot of shows over that same time period. But yet, as trends go, they're insusceptible to variable quality, which, while featuring the elusive focal theme that has seen its ups and downs, for the most part, you can always be guaranteed that the majority of the Villainess series that have come and gone are at least decent and upwards trending on the good side.…
