Introduction
Several centuries ago, a plague ravaged the Kingdom of Geed until a girl with healing powers appeared and saved the nation. Today, she is revered as the goddess Lushe, and a temple in her honor gathers individuals with similar powers to serve the kingdom as so-called saintesses.
Lua Restoatt is a saintess candidate, but her power is defective—she heals by transferring others' injuries to herself, which earned her the nickname "Broken Saintess." This flawed ability nearly kills her when she rushes to save Garrett Vance, a knight captain she admires. But Lua's best friend, Arianne Trebias, takes the credit and becomes engaged to Garrett.
Crushed by the betrayal, Lua vows never to heal again and prioritizes her secret second ability: inflicting others with the ailments she once absorbed. After witnessing this, Second Prince Sven Geed Crone approaches Lua and offers an alliance. Hungry for revenge, the once-timid Lua accepts Sven's proposal, ready to strike back at those who have wronged her and help the prince expose dark secrets of the temple.

Anime like this should be encouraged.
The anime used moving illustrations that is manga styled (I have not read the actual manga but the style feels like it) to avoid bad quality visuals in animation. For example, instead of drawing characters with simplified visuals like a low cost anime usually does, it chose have matching visuals but reduce episode length and moving parts in the anime.
This brings a very interesting approach to solving common problems in low quality anime, which the characters look nothing like in the light novel or manga, while maintaining quality of voice acting, story telling, and theme songs. (my friend said isn't this common in hxxtxi? so I told him to shut up)
Would rather see animation styles like this than those rough animes.

Just to start off the animation is more similar to an animatic or a visual novel style adaptation, not a full blown, frame for frame, anime. If you are willing to look past that then you can probably enjoy it. So right off the bat, Recommended but with reservations.
The 12 episodes run 15min each and honestly make for a nice brief watch.
For the actual show, the story is cute, if you didn't read the blurb at the top then the country has what as known as "Saintess candidates" women, almost always from noble houses, that are able to heal injuries on others usually to their own exhaustion. The main character is one of these but her "broken" status is that she first has to transfer the injury to her own body before actually healing it away. An incident occurs where she saves the captain of…

This anime is like having a top level, completely voiced, visual novel with light animation.
I like letting people know who I think this anime is for and who I don't think is for so that you are not mislead by my review.
This anime is for you if:
* You care more about story than animation.
* You enjoy Female protag - Revenge - Romance stories.
* You like visual novels and/or mahnwa.
* You enjoy beautiful art-styles that are outside of the pure anime style. * You appreciate the hard work that goes into putting together an anime with limited resources.
* You appreciate good voice acting.
This anime is NOT for you if:
* Animation is the most important thing for you in an anime
* Low-budget anime don't satisfy you no matter how good the story is.
Now if you've read up until here I as…

It was fine, but it felt more like something from those Japanese manga channels on YouTube. That kind of animation. Those aren't classified as anime, while this one is. This is weird.
The animation is basically motion graphics, where a static image of a character moves on a static background. Most of it was probably done in After Effects. The art style tries to resemble something like an oil painting, which is yet another reason why it wouldn't have worked for the traditional pose-to-pose 2D animation pipeline.
The voice acting is fine, the soundtrack is also fine.
Anyway, watch this if you're into the "soy" villainess kind of anime. The FL's main goal is revenge but not really... She does many bad things but only in her thoughts. She reminds me of any president from the EU – she's a "l…

Exceed my expectation!
Thought it's gonna be regular revenge story but actually the story is pretty layered and with well made production too!
Disclaimer this isn't your typical anime bcs it has less animation and more like a moving manga.
It's a revenge story but actually the world building or lore is pretty layered and intriguing. As the story unfold many questions rises and sparks some interest. With how the anime ended, I'm hoping there'll be a sequel because the story definitely aren't finished yet.
I also love the character design with the pretty dresses and details, really living that fantasy kingdom! It has decent scoring too!
The score on mal are so low maybe because they expect a regular anime but turns out this one has less animation but even that i have no problem because t…

What in Lelouch's name is happening here? Animated wallpaper can be called an "anime" now? And people say the story is amazing? Are people again confusing the quality with the entertainment factor? And whats happening there its not even something to be called a romance yet, what are you on about? I'll try to keep it short, same as this "anime" did.
LE - Warning. I couldn't. Reading this takes the same amount of time as watching the whole show :))
Visuals. The artstyle is nice. Nice designs, with sparkly, twinkling eyes. For the most part, because we also get the version with "no eyes" faces. Vibrant colour palette. Some decent cinematography. If not the framing, at least very nice when changing "the tone" of a scene. The animation.... Like I said, the animation is what you've seen (probab…

I must admit that when I first saw the type of animation it had, I hesitated to watch it. But the title, the synopsis, and the fact that the genres were romance and fantasy caught my attention enough to give it a chance despite the animation. And I’m glad I did, because otherwise, I would have missed out on a really good story.
First of all, it’s important to clarify that this is a LIGHT ANIME, not a full anime, and it is NOT made with AI. It simply features an animation style that’s different from the usual.
From the very first episode, the story hooked me. Watching the protagonist take her pain and turn it into a reason for revenge rather than doing nothing and forgiving everything with the power of friendship, was a refreshing touch that I really enjoyed. I personally love this kind o…

I never leave reviews for anime, and even more rarely do I leave reviews for works in progress (I usually wait until at least the main story is complete), but here I have to make an exception.
Rather than watching this “Anime,” I recommend reading the manga. It has 138 chapters in webtoon style, so it's very light reading.
The animation consists only of illustrations from the webtoon, where only a few details such as mouths, eyes, hands, and arms have been animated, but very little else...and all in a “paper puppet” style.
For those who have seen “Danganronpa,” it's similar in style to the executions but even less animated.
Nothing can be said about the plot... it's good because it's the same as the original work, although it seems to me that some parts have been shortened, but I have to c…

This is the romance and fantasy anime you have to watch if you want to see a story that combines revenge and romance so well that you'll want a second season of this anime. The female protagonist acts in a realistic and coherent way as a person who was betrayed, which differentiates her from other female protagonists in this type of anime. The story is original compared to other romance anime, which gives the story a refreshing feel. The animation is different from what we're generally used to, but it's not bad.
The pairing of the prince with Lua, our protagonist, is very beautiful to look at, and the soundtrack is also very good.
Believe me and give this anime a chance. I assure you that if you're a lover of romance anime, you'll love it.
