    Holy shit I love this adaptation already!

    I was scared that I’d lose some traits of Mia that’s reflected so well in the manga, but the anime absolutely improvised it. I felt like I was reading the manga for the first time as I watched it.

    Rather good adaptation, at least for the first episode.

    Mia caused her own demise, by shunning away the people who would actually help her, or creating enemies for no good reason. Then she gets the chopping block. The End. And then she comes back to 8 years earlier, while there’s still time for her to actually solve the issues that would lead to her demise.

    I strongly recommend this series for people who like redemption/“second chance” stories, otome, or just some good old comedy - at least the manga and the novel are cute and fun.

      Is this going to amount to more than “I’ll be a little nicer to my servants this time so I don’t get killled”? The ending of the first episode didn’t really seem to understand the themes at play here.

        Yes, it will. She’s still selfish and a bit unaware (although less than before), and we know it from her thoughts, but her whole behaviour flips 180°. With people then thinking that she’s some beacon of wisdom, when her actions are motivated by short-sighted motivations like “I remember X in the revolution! Better not piss him off this time!” or similar.

    Kinda low quality animation/design. Or we are just spoiled by Gilse. I like the series and Mia though, so still gonna watch it.

      The animation quality is… meh, good enough to be enjoyable but no masterwork. Still watching it regardless, I like the story, it isn’t like I didn’t watch series that got it worse. (cough Hoshi no Samidare cough cough. Amazing story, deserved more than a fucked up low budget animation.)
