First Impressions: Episodes 1-3 The Demon Prince of Momochi House, 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! and Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp

The Demon Prince of Momochi House Eps. 1-3 based on manga

Himari Momochi inherits a house but finds it inhabited by a young master and his two attendants.

If we exclude the orphan premise as an excuse for reverse harem cohabitation (personal bias), the supernatural situations felt natural and not cringey or absurd. There's a balance of fun, hints of romance, and melancholy. Must. Protect. Nue. And I'm enjoying the story more than I should. Japanese mythology and highschool shenanigans are a welcome treat with the prevalence of the royalty court setting from both isekai and non-isekai as of late. And it sure does feel like it was the 2010s again with shojo manga nostalgia.

Momochi OP

At first, I was afraid of the quality of the animation because the promo stills looked weird. But after the first episode, we can safely breathe with relief now. But I'm not a fan of the retro-ish earthy palettes and the eyelashes. It may also stem from the fact that it looks different from the original manga art of Aya Shouoto. I've only read just a few chapters from the manga before so if I'm completely way off with it being a reverse harem please let me indulge a bit with this delusion. I also have high hopes it will turn into one since Aya Shouoto is one of the reverse harem enablers with titles like Barajou no Kiss, S.L.H, and Super Darling! I'm also trying to avoid it's like a Kamisama Hajimemashita meets Fruits Basket yet there I said it.

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! Ep 1-3 based on light novel

Rishe Irmgard Weitzner is now on her 7th life after always being killed in one way or another by Prince Arnold. But on the 7th time loop her enemy has taken interest with her.

Her past six lives were summarized without being long-winded but just enough to pique our curiosity. The critical timing of each action or decision will lead to different outcomes or probable "romance routes". Do note that this is not an otome isekai and I'm just assuming it's romance routes as we have yet to meet them. And this is by far the fastest turn of events from a "love at first sight". The main guy is giving off the epitome of evil which kind of makes it more exciting. It reminds me of Story of Kunning Palace cdrama which has the same premise of dying because of the evil guy and going back in time to redo it but this time he falls for her. So I'm excited about how the main guy transitions from being evil to good. I'm not a fan of enemies to lovers but now I do in this context. Rishe and Arnold scenes together are gold!

7th loop OP

Overall, it's entertaining and exciting. After seeing the story potential and the characters I wish I had read the light novel. Whereas the Momochi and Elise play on the emotions and have a slice of life-ish feel, 7th loop takes you on an adventure. It makes you think of the possibilities and the interconnections. I liked the overall look, the animation, and the fight scenes but is it just me but the close-ups in episode 3 looked weird.

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp Ep 1-3 based on manhwa

Elise is a spoiled princess who is executed and reincarnated in modern Earth. She turns into a new leaf and becomes a surgeon. Then she goes back in her time before the events that will lead her to her demise.

The premise of Elise has two layers of twists to the reincarnation and time loop tropes. For the first episode alone among the three anime, I would hand it over to Elise. In a short period, we felt like we knew her already and felt her sincerity to help. She's relatable in her reincarnated era. But in her original form, I'm still trying to reconcile that they are the same person. Maybe because she's too doll-like? And being a prodigy does not cut it for me - I would be very suspicious that she can perform surgery on her own with no mentor and practical experience. And I'm coming from a place of love. I love Elise!

Dr. Elise OP

The trailer seemed boring or too serious but the medical elements make it interesting and it's actually relaxing. To see her clean the clinic and taking care of patients, makes you feel safe... and neat... and cute! (And come to think of it all 3 anime have the heroines cleaning in first 3 episodes.) It's also refreshing that even though she's supposed to be mean, she's well-loved and all the people surrounding her are loveable as well. There are no intrigues like I usually see on manhwa and webtoons. Or maybe it's too early to call it yet.

So far, we have met two bishonen already but no signs of romance yet. But there's more to the main guy than meets the eye. And I hope the grumpy brother is not part of reverse harem...but she did mention stepmother. Oh no! (lol)

There's an overlap too with Rishe of 7th Loop of having gained medical skills from a previous life. My head is swirling now with all the heroines trying to break off engagement/get a divorce with Scent of Time timeloop cdrama, I'm the Villain isekai webtoon, and 7th Loop anime. Yes, I'm watching/reading them all at the same time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The First Impressions is back! It's making me nervous that it's only the start of the year and we already have this triumvirate. What have we done to deserve this but yes we do deserve this! What's your favorite among the three anime? I love 'em and all the three heroines for sure. Each anime has its strengths and they all offer something different to the table. And lest we forget no confirmed reverse harem for all three yet. Let's cross all our fingers and toes real tight.

First Impression: Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3

Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3 The vampire Ruka saves Mito who's all alone in the world. Now Ruka can't stand girls and he's oblivious to the fact this his new thrall is actually a girl. The animation is giving we have a budget well because it's Nakayoshi's 70th-anniversary project. I have only read just the first volume of the mang a and it's pretty much the same as far as I can remember with a few inserts from the coven. But what I do clearly remember is that the manga is more risque with the suggestive art. So now, I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not! (lol) Hence, the anime version will be here on the main blog and not on Patreon. It also has cute motifs that one would expect from Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara. With the cafe, the heart necklace, the strawberries, and the dessert-like brown and red school uniforms. The bloodsucking, ah yes an integral part of all vampire stories in shojosei and whatnot, is reminiscent of the naughtiness of

In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 2

Monster and Parent Vol. 2 manga story and art by: Ichi Sayo Saika is adjusting to her new life with her family, friends, and godling. But the threat of godeaters looms and an incident causes her godling, Squeak, to be unhappy with her. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review . This volume focuses on Saika's relationships and we gradually see the brothers' character development. The two older brothers Kazuomi and Izumi are still my favorites but I'm leaning toward the oldest. He just cracks me up! But I'm also concerned with where the path of the youngest brother, Aki is going. I like the premise of Monster and Parent but I still need to be blown away with the story. I'm hoping it happens in the succeeding volumes. The godeaters deal is still vague and they are wishy-washy in handling it but it was addressed near the end. I want to see more of the other godlings and their interaction with each other or with the
