    Okay I started watching the Villainess anime because so many people were saying positive things about it... and this is way better than it has any right being. Pansexual heroine accidentally gets entire cast to fall for her.

    edit: It has big Ouran Highschool Host Club vibes with the queer subtext and comedy about romantic cliches and making fun of the absurdly privileged.

    Plus it just seems nice. I like nice things about nice people which is where it seems to be going.

    it's definitely not unusual in having its female protagonist have some ladies crushing on her, anime's fine with doing that as like kind of a joke to show how cool our straight protagonist is. See Also: Railgun.

    What feels real surprising about it is how consistently Katarina seems to be characterized as into both girls and boys. Like she seems a bit more clueless about being into girls, but she very obviously expresses attraction to both men and women. And it's Bakarina, so it's not like she's NOT clueless about her attractions to men, either... But the anime itself seems to know exactly what their queer subtext is, and to be A-OK with it.

    Not that I'm expecting her to end up definitively with anyone, but yeah I really like its like casual acceptance of its queerness without trying to make a big deal out of it or trying to lowkey signal that nono it's not serious. It definitely reminds me of like Ouran's queer subtext, only more so.

    It is a very fun show so far.

    Catarina might be a bit dense but she is so charming.

    I think its more she isnt fully aware that she's now a hot teen and not an tomboy otaku so she doesnt get her affect on her peers

    It's more than that though. She is so genuinely wonderful to everyone she comes across, it's not just her being attractive, she pulls people into her pace and makes them joyful like her.

    Back when she was a kid she improved the lives all 4 of the romance targets in the game, the rival characters, her parents, her maid, and probably the rest of her household servants. Just be being her dumb lovable self.

    Also she genuinely does dumb things even not relating to romance.

    Catarina's real magic ability is the skill of being able to pig out on ludicrous amounts of sweets to the point that it upsets her stomach, while still keeping her great figure.

    It's the anti-HxH (at least the most recent boat arc).

    There's so little dialogue you need to:
    1. Pay attention to what little is said
    2. Watch the panels, because there are a shit ton of details and story packed into the art, wherein you will miss the story if you just breeze through it.

    Separate from that, it is also utter madness.

    Definitely Upside. She can conquer any Downside with a Can Do attitude and an army of devoted actually talented people.

    The base concept seems similar to Long Live The Queen, where you’re trying to build and conduct yourself in such a way as to avoid a myriad of bad endings.

    I'm watching Danmachi atm. It's fun! It's kinda light and mostly wholesome and the protagonist is an excellent boy.

    Endless Eight was an arc in The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya, the fifth book in the light novel series, where Haruhi wished for an endless summer. Due to her being God who can unwittingly bend reality to her will, her wish came true and the result was that the entire cast was stuck in a time loop that repeated itself over 15,000 times until Kyon figured a way to break out of it.

    This arc was faithfully animated by spending eight episodes in the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and aired from June 19th, 2009 to August 7th, 2009.
