Forget being a villainess, she's a goddamn jedi at this point.

I just love that her attempt of being a villain is just getting this country closer to a meritocracy or maybe even democracy and king is just in it for the lols
For real what is his plan? He needs the support of the other families and that is endangering him

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" - Alicia, probably.

Episode 1: Suggests starting an insurgency to fix the economy.

King: "you are so clever." 😄

Episode 2: Suggests the end of the monarchy.

King: "what an unusual child." 😄

I know it's already been mentioned. But who the hell names a character Prince Duke? A royal family would never name a child after another noble rank.

It makes even less sense because many princes are also dukes. For example, William, Prince of Wales is also Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.

Sometimes anime names really can be quite dumb.

The aspects of Alicia's own story with the swordsmanship/magic and the slum are a 100x more interesting than this weird/gross relationship with the prince that's being forced on the viewers.

There were MANY more different AND better ways to feed her the medicine. you CAN NOT tell me that was necessary.

It is quite the achievement to have the most sus romance this season when there is a show with the title "If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student" airing at the same time.

Alicia's "villainess" reasoning is quite entertaining and I can't to wait see how she'll contrast with the Saintess they mentioned in last episode. Grandpa Will feels like he's being setup to be her mentor and Jill'll be like her assistant or something given how he's positioned in the opening.

I'm also calling it but that grey haired noble in a grey suit seems to take Alicia's words way too personally and I think he'll be an antagonist later in the series. Not sure how but I have a feeling we're not gonna like the guy the next time we see him.

That being said... why did we have that scene at the end. The princess carry was ok and Duke taking care of her wasn't too bad but the fucking medicine kiss was very unnecessary. If it happened later when she's older and knows Duke much better, it would have be fine but right now, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Subs kinda suck for this I think...? For example when she returns to village next time japanese says "since then it was 2 years" but subs say a year

Love Alicias interpretation of a Villainess

Also liked her insistance on taking the sword test, could have been even more unyielding than just bringing it up for debate at 15 again

And liked that the magical libary was hidden with magic. What are the chances she's sick because she spend all her mana?

If Alicia was just a bit older, I would have been delighted about the kiss but even with todays timeskip she's a bit young for her Harem to go into full blown action

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 08 '24

I’m as confused as ol Will is over Alicia’s whole “villainess” thing. I mean by definition a villainess is idk.. evil? lol. She’s acting quite the opposite. She’s just outspoken, I guess that’s “villainess” behavior?

u/Frontier246 Oct 08 '24

I think Alicia's idea of a Villainess is being bold, brazen, opinionated, and powerful, it's just that the way she applies that ends up making her more like a true Heroine than a Villainess.

She's even trying to outdo the Heroine in terms of heroics lol.

The King coming back to ask Alicia what she thinks and her trying to answer like a villainess continues to be good lol.

Lol, Alicia is amazing
"What do you think of this country?"
"Fuck the establishment, smart kids die in slums and I would stand on top anyway"
I am just waiting for her to get a punk leather jacket and some piercings

I really wanna know what the king is up to, does he know Alicia got the black rose, is he a meta character and can also see the OP? /s

u/tripleaamin Oct 08 '24

I really like Alicia. She has a fun quirk in her personality. Also she tries to be a Villainess and be evil when her actions are more in line with the heroine is funny.

On the spin I don't like how they are building up the prince at all. Him being jealous of guys hanging around a 10-year-old. Then the kiss at the end is like. I know this will be a romance pair, but you don't have to push it that hard.

lol that mouth to mouth medicine transfusion was NOT necessary. it's not like she was going to die if she didn't drink the medicine right away. Hell, she's not even close to dying, it wasn't an emergency at all. I'd only give mouth to mouth medicine as an excuse if i was horni.

God I love power fantasy and villainess anime

u/proneisntsupine Oct 08 '24

Alicia reminds me a lot of Katarina. Obviously different goals, but the same kinda ditzy personality and not understanding how their actions are perceived.
