The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior novel series has an anime adaptation. Coming Summer 2023.

Plot Summary:

Quote:

Pride Royal Ivy is only eight years old when she realizes that she’s been reincarnated, destined to become the future wicked queen and final boss of an otome game. She’s got it all in this new life: razor-sharp wit, boss-tier powers, and influence over the kingdom as crown princess. Determined to sow despair and destruction across the land, she… Wait, what kind of a rotten future is that?! Princess Pride decides to drop the maniacal villainess act and protect the male love interests instead, cheating her way to saving everyone she can! Will this final boss end up earning the adoration of her kingdom?

Oh nice I actually liked this one quite a bit. Probably going to get at least one villainess series every season for the foreseeable future, there's a lot to adapt.

The manga just got cancelled due to the artist's health issues ....

Greenish Growth · 2022-10-27, 22:59

Holy cow! That's cool. When I think of a really evil story villainess I always think of her first.

The original villainess was a completely nasty, psychopath. Main character is pretty cool too.

The era of the reincarnated Villainess' has truly begun

!

Ai Fairouz as a former villainess! She's in good company with Maaya and Rieri

!

It's kind of funny seeing Maaya Uchida in the male lead (?) role since she kicked this genre off anime-wise with Bakarina

.

Also was not expecting Haruka Tomatsu, but that's awesome

!

Wonder how much romance is in this...

Apparently there are plans by the publisher to reserialise the manga adaptation. Very likely they will get a new artist, although I don't know if they'll start from the last point the 1st manga ended or go back to the beginning.

Plus, it seems somewhat ironic that the anime's character designs take after the cancelled manga version.

HiDive announced this in the US as part of their new partnership with MBS.

The villainess LN/manga series I'd really like to see adapted to anime is Villainess Level 99 -- a reincarnated girl realises she's destined to be the Secret Final Boss of an otome game and faces defeat at the hands of the main love interest and her harem. To avoid this fate she proceeds to derail the plot by becoming severely OP while at the same time being totally clueless regarding personal relationships and how other people think.

stray · 2023-03-03, 17:33

I liked Villainess Level 99 quite a bit myself. I'd imagine there will be more and more villainess series announced for later this year and into next.

magnuskn · 2023-03-04, 19:53

Yeah, seems that the genre is now really kicking off in terms of anime adaptations.

zeross87 · 2023-03-06, 09:13

Aileen had a sword. Raeliana has a gun. This lady has both

Spoiler:

It's a tale as old as time...high school girl gets hit by a truck and gets reincarnated into her favorite Otome game, only not as the Heroine but as the vile and sadistic Villainess who is destined to be killed off by the Main Heroine (her own sister, in fact) and the various love interests she tortured up to this point. Even her servants were utterly terrified of her as a child. Thus begins the story of the new Pride Royal Ivy, voiced by none other than Ai Fairouz, as she seeks to make up for all the crimes she knows of game!Pride with whatever years she still has left in this life

.

Toshiyuki Morikawa once again playing a dad! And luckily Pride was able to save her father, and as a result her mother, by using her knowledge of the game. Though it doesn't seem like she actually has the precognition game!Pride had, just using stuff she knows about from the game. Was it also a problem that the queen died of grief and Pride inherited the throne far earlier than she should have, especially with her personality as a child? Though I wonder if her mothers' neglect because she was focused on her little sister Tiana contributed to her warped persona

?

The new Pride is already making headway in improving peoples' opinion of her, starting with her servants! They all look proud and happy to serve her now and she even knows them by name

!

Ah yes, the adoptive brother love interest...the Keith, if you will. Poor Stale got roped into being the little brother companion and loyal follower of Pride by her father and taken from his mother, not to mention being handcuffed up to the point of signing a contract of loyalty to Pride. At least he got to have more time with his mother before he left, but even Pride is heartbroken at all he had to go through for her sake. And it's that empathy that seems to have really won over Stale in this new variant of the games' world

.

Man, Ai Fairouz plays a mean villainess in what little glimpses we get of the original Pride. Though making Stale kill his own mother while you cackle villainously is a lot

.

Pride utterly adores and cherishes Stale, especially knowing what she did to him as game!Pride and feeling like she can never make up for that by anything other than trying to make the kingdom a better place before she dies. But it seems like she's still concerned enough about becoming like game!Pride that she wants Stale to kill her if it ever gets to that point. But he'll probably fall in love with her first

.

The OP! A pretty ambient and serious theme with older Pride and the Reverse Harem she's going to hijack for herself! But it seems like rather than romance the central relationship might be Pride trying to become closer to her sister in this new timeline

.

good adaptation so far.the pace felt okay, i don't remember any cut part and it felt close to the original. i expect s1 will finish at end of book 2 which feel fine and mean they have enough material for a s2 if the sales are good.

stray · 2023-07-06, 14:29

I like that we get to see flashbacks (forwards?) of Pride in full villainess mode. I was following the manga until it got discontinued due to the author's health so I'll definitely be following this.

Yeah manga is great (what I read anyway) and this looks like it has all the good points of the manga in anime form. Definetly going to be solid one if it keeps up.

Greenish Growth · 2023-07-06, 21:59

I guess this is going to one of those shows that is more difficult to view. Oh well, at least I read it so I can wait.

My favorite part of a drama where the main female character takes the place of someone else is how the other characters react to her change. Most stories of that type just breeze through those parts and don't go into it in enough depth.

Alchemist007 · 2023-07-07, 00:53

It's like getting to see both the paragon and renegade choices in Mass Effect.

Greenish Growth · 2023-07-07, 12:22

Finally got a chance to see it. The pacing was a little quick, but they had quite a bit to cover so it's expected. The only thing about the pacing though is that it made it less relatable why she was so upset and had trauma because those parts were condensed in the anime. The reactions to her sudden change from the web novel were almost completely absent too.

Overall I enjoyed first episode though.
