The world of Anime is always bringing out new and exciting shows! The isekai genre, in particular, has become super popular and is filled with imaginative adventures that send protagonists to different worlds.
A New Isekai Anime
A brand new anime called I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History is shaking things up! It follows Alicia, who is reborn into an otome game as a villainess, but takes a totally different path than most isekai protagonists!
The Villainess's Unexpected Journey
Usually, in these types of stories, the female lead who gets isekai'd as a villain does everything she can to change their destiny! Not in this new anime, however! In the first episode, Alicia doesn't try to become a good character, but instead she aims to become the best villainess the story has ever seen. In a surprise turn of events, it doesn't really appear that Alicia's idea of "villainy" matches up with actual, true evil.
Comparing Alicia to Doctor Elise
To show how crazy Alicia's journey is going to be, there is an interesting comparison, and an equally unexpected turn of events to keep viewers guessing! In a similar isekai called Doctor Elise, the protagonist gets reborn in another world, lives as someone else, then comes back to their old life.
- This experience and the path Elise follows is like many villainesses!
- Elise's journey shows us the villainess is attempting to create some positive changes in her life, just like Alicia. However, Alicia is aiming to take on the villainess's persona while becoming great!
But things keep taking crazy, unpredictable turns, such as when Alicia gives advice. It ends up impressing the king, totally messing with her plans of being the greatest villainess ever!
A Contrast to Most Heretical Last Boss Queen
What's equally amazing, and could have some truly unexpected plot developments for viewers? This new isekai really diverges from other similar stories. An especially clear contrast that comes through as one views the HIDIVE anime, Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior. Here's why this difference is such a big deal!
- The main character Pride is terrified of becoming evil! She wants to be good!
- Pride wants to make big positive change, but knows the storyline of her isekai may still lead her down a darker path. So what might make things more memorable and unpredictable is Alicia's journey! She's aiming for villainy, and doesn't really care!
Will Alicia Survive?
We don't really know what is going to happen next. Viewers are captivated, but there are so many possibilities. If you want a real suspense that you don't get to see often? You might think this one really is going to give fans some major thrills, with plenty of action that may just have you glued to the screen for the entire season, making sure that you have enough snacks!
Will Alicia be successful in being this villain? It looks like she may also survive her adventures. However, I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History is going to keep everyone guessing about its twists. Even more so, this story looks like it's going to leave viewers on the edge of their seats. Get a taste of a new twist to the isekai genre and make sure to check this show out!
