I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History

This anime style comedy follows Alicia Williams, a bright kid who tires of the goody two shoes heroines she sees in her favorite fantasy dating sim. When she is reborn as Alicia herself, the villain of that game, she thinks she's got the dream gig. The catch is that every attempt to embrace wicked schemes keeps drawing the prince closer instead of scaring him away. Alicia must weigh real influence against palatable mischief as she chases the title of the world's greatest villainess. The show blends snappy sight gags with sly nods to dating sim tropes, all wrapped in an animation style that keeps the pace light and lively. The chaos that follows is as funny as it is endearing.

Produced as a 2024 animated comedy, the show comes from creators Sawako Hirabayashi and Akari Hoshi. The voice cast features Kanna Nakamura as Alicia Williams, with Kaito Ishikawa, Manaka Iwami, Hiroshi Yanaka, and Rumi Okubo lending their voices.

Reception highlights a positive early buzz, with a 7.7 out of 10 from 41 votes. The show toys with romance sim tropes while critiquing hero villain dynamics. Alicia's antics mix mischief with charm even as the prince keeps returning, complicating her plans.

At this early stage the title has a modest footprint, but fans are already debating Alicia's methods and the satirical edge of the dating sim premise. If the show sustains its pace, it could become a small but witty reference point for gaming culture.
