Fans are talking about Though I Am an Inept Villainess #1 — here's what they had to say.
This anime's got everything—stunning Doga Kobo visuals, sudden comedy out of nowhere, and a lightning-fast body-swap plot that has everyone completely hooked from minute one!
Commenter
Futsuutsuka anime started! So hyped to see these two in motion...!
Commenter
Ah, a fictional dynasty setting, Chinese-style fantasy, got it.
Commenter
The anime's actually adding some nice extra context tho.
Commenter
Wait, the Emperor showing up this early?! Dude doesn't even show his face till volume 5 of the light novel.
Commenter
Lady Reirin is looking absolute gorgeous.
Commenter
Wooow, seeing all the candidate ladies in full color makes it even prettier!
Commenter
"Overpraising"? Not even close!
Commenter
It's onnn~! The visuals are insanely clean.
Commenter
Did they actually keep the freckles on purpose?
Commenter
Everyone's talking trash about her calling her a wicked woman lmaooo.
Commenter
Lady Keigetsu is totally a beauty too with those sharp eyes and dignified vibes tho...
Commenter
Wonder if I'll live another 35 years to see Halley's Comet looking like that irl.
Commenter
The villain getting talked behind their back is such a fresh trope for a body-swap story ngl.
Commenter
Bro, the timing with the shooting star was literally 10/10!!
Commenter
Pushing her off right in front of everyone like that... damn.
Commenter
Wait, did her eyes just glow?! Is that a curse?!
Commenter
Eye color changed! Okay, that makes it super obvious lmao.
Commenter
Absolute garbage behavior right from the get-go w
Commenter
Huh? Thought she'd pull her down with her, wait, is this Your Name or what?
Commenter
OMG IT'S MOVING AAAAAAA😭😭
Commenter
Well no duh she's gonna get thrown in the dungeon after that.
Commenter
NO WAY they actually swapped bodies?!
Commenter
She's locked up in a cell but her outfit is still super bougie lmao.
Commenter
Body swap complete in literally 4 minutes, speedrun any%
Commenter
Like, body-swapping is just straight up impossible irl lmao.
Commenter
A body-swap plot where physical bodies actually trade places, not just roles.
Commenter
Animation studio is Doga Kobo.
Commenter
Is it just me or does shooting stars in anime always come with body-swap powers thanks to a certain movie lol?
Commenter
The OP shows her swapped into the evil woman's body and living her best life, love to see it.
Commenter
They accepted the whole body-swap thing way too fast wwww
Commenter
Already getting major high-effort anime vibes, hyped.
Commenter
Come to think of it, Maomao used freckles to hide her looks, but do freckles really make someone *that* plain?
Commenter
The OP has the protagonist smiling way too much lmao.
Commenter
Ofc the body-swap movie reference has to involve a comet w
Commenter
Wait, this is Doga Kobo too? So this season is basically just this and Moebius Dust.
Commenter
These original anime-only setups are so easy to follow, love it.
Commenter
Secret-silencing jutsu!! HYAAH!! Put that aura away ww
Commenter
The voice switching is way too good tho.
Commenter
How does "somehow unable to talk about just that specific thing" even work?
Commenter
Must be cursed or something, literally can't drop spoilers.
Commenter
Can't speak out loud about it, giving me Re:Zero Return by Death vibes.
Commenter
Trying every trick in the book to prove she's actually Reirin.
Commenter
They're just gonna assume she's a spy lol.
Commenter
The wicked woman already one-stepped her w
Commenter
Just because she loves Reirin way too much lmao.
Commenter
Wait, she didn't even write it down, so how did it disappear?!
Commenter
Lady Keigetsu is way more cautious and sly than I expected.
Commenter
Outta nowhere it just turns into a comedy and I'm dead lmao!
Commenter
"Because I am her, you seey~" is way too cute...
Commenter
Everything happening right now is kinda forced ngl.
Commenter
"Yes! I am a sewer rat!!" LMAOOO
Commenter
Why did she even repeat that wwww
Commenter
Wait, is this actually a comedy w?
Commenter
They are literally facing certain death yet the mood is so chill lol.
Commenter
Thought it was gonna be dark and serious, turns out it's a gag anime.
Commenter
Thought it was gonna be some kind of man-pig thing lol.
Commenter
Oh, the "beastfolk" ritual is written with those kanji, interesting.
Commenter
If they find out they swapped bodies, they're definitely gonna be doing the ultimate dogeza.
Commenter
There's actually gag parts?! Totally thought this was a serious drama.
Commenter
Can't execute nobles properly, so just subtly suggest suicide. Classic royalty move.
Commenter
Broooo the camera work is insane...
Commenter
The balance between serious and comedy is top tier.
Commenter
So right now, the one inside Reirin's body is...
Commenter
Episode 1 Keigetsu-chan is peak wicked woman. Cute as hell.
Commenter
Manaka Iwami delivering lines with that kind of expression is just top-tier bait.
