I usually do not write reviews so bare with me. I just thought this anime deserved at least one review to hopefully get more people to watch it. LasTame starts off as a typical reincarnation anime but this time its in a visual novel that the protagonist has played before. She finds herself as the main villain a young princess named Pride. Because she is young she has not done most of the awful things that she is meant to do yet. But the staff of the castle was still afraid of her since she is just an awful person. Because our protagonist is a kind hearted person she is constantly worried about herself turning into the actual villain. And therefore asks the people she gets close to to kill her if she becomes an awful queen. And of course the people close to her do not understand why she fears this or would ask them to do so. Despite our protagonist being the most kind hearted person ever she never brings up her previous life. This got me a bit in disbelief however maybe she didnt have anyone close to her in the previous life. Or maybe the only thing she remembers is her own death. I do not know if the actual novel provides better information on this since I havent read it. Perhaps if it gets a sequel we will get to know more. During her time at the castle she helps many people and gets close to many people as well. She actually deeply cares about her subjects and does everything she can for them. There is also a really nice arc about a villain who turns good because of her not giving up on him. I found this arc really heart warming especially because the villain clearly never let himself feel certain feelings before or even knew the existence of those feelings. Because she has played the game before she sometimes can predict what will happen and thereby prevent awful disasters sometimes even saving lives. This is also explained as the original princess ability because prediction is a trait that runs in the family. However the reincarnated Pride does not actually have this ability. It is unclear if she will get it later when she gets older. Since if I remember correctly the original Pride did not get her prediction ability until she was older. Pride is also super powerful because she is the final boss queen. She really knows how to swing a sword there is some eyerolling anime moments in there but I just found them fun and went with it. : During her time she will face many challenges. But the main reason I like the show is because of the warm characters of the show and the relationships they share. They all give you a feeling of home when watching it. Overall I loved the show and really hope that it gets a sequel. And I definitely recommend watching it. I hope this review helps some people to be more open to giving the show a chance.
