Not sure if anyone else here is watching this but… Anyone else find it incredibly creepy how much these teenage boys are smitten with a literal child? I really want to like this show but damn is it giving me predator vibes. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Law and Order SVU lately…
Yep, the age gap passes the realm of strange and lands in incredulous. I’m not actually sure how much older Duke is, 5 years? Most of the comments on MAL are saying that Duke is way out of line.
Episode 1 dropped heavy hints, so it’s not so surprising. Reincarnation romance is almost always going to be a little hairy, just not usually in this way.
Let’s face it, an age gap of 5-6 years would be unremarkable if they were in their 30s. The problem is anyone, of any age, making the moves on a prepubescent girl. That’s where the ick is coming from. I was willing to tolerate it as long as it was just infatuation from a distrance, but the let’s-pretend-this-isn’t-a-kiss was a bridge too far. I don’t think I would be comfortable with it even if they were both 10 or whatever age she said she was.
Overprotective male relatives are doing a piss-poor job of actually protecting her.
At least 5, I think more. She was what? 9? 10? and dude is 15 (at least) kissing her? I honestly think I’ll drop it, super ick. Sure she’s reincarnated and not mentally 9 but the guys don’t know that 🤢
It’s the type of trash that I really like but the love interests thirsting for a kid half their age is off-putting. I hope this will be put more into the background.
Alright, let’s get the uncomfortable bit out of the way in the beginning. The age gap present in the romances they are setting up is pretty extreme. I was hoping that they would skip forward in time a bit before having these guys start to fall for her. This is something that they do a bit better in “My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!” in that she starts living as a “villainess” when she is a child, but it isn’t really until she is older that the romance becomes more explicit. Also, the characters thirsting over Bakarina are closer to her in age. @rikka@ani.social
All that said, I like a lot of the rest of what they are doing in this show. She is such a dorky character that doesn’t seem to have any idea of what a villainess actually is. I mean, would a true villainess try really hard to better herself and talk back to the king in order to advocate for a more equitable society? Acquire medicine in cognito in order to aid sick children inside magic prison? You know this kid is going to somehow end up in her employ soon, possibly Will as well.
Though she seems to have a warped sense of what a villainess actually is, she is definitely doing her best to embody the platonic ideal of a villainess. I am hoping that we jump forward in time soon.
