Anime Review Tearmoon Empire Alright so this anime leans more into the whole aspect of timetravel rather than your standard mid isekai or reincarnation story. Think SteinsGate but less complicated. At first it might seem like reincarnation but its really just timetravel. Our antagonist Mia Luna Tearmoon of the Tearmoon Empire turns her country into chaos by overspending the countrys budget for herself ignores all her peers and eventually causes a rebellion within that stands against her. She to put it bluntly is a real villainess. After Mia meets her fate of Mr. Guillotine she suddenly finds herself in the body of a 12yearold but not any 12yearoldherself Thats right Mias fate has been reset and now she is going to change her ways and attitude to avoid getting guillotined. This is a story of redemption and change for our new protagonist. She is a very selfish princess whom without any care for anyone but herself ends up being the reason she gets executed in the first place so whether you should feel sorry for her not is really up to you Pacing And Execution Early on the story is pretty good and its got a good mix of humor and drama in the mix of everything. Mia isnt some knowledge god just a victim of her own mistakes so she eventually stumbles along trying to change her fate and gain new allies such as her handmaid Anne who she relentlessly bullied previously and other notable characters throughout the story. She more or less sometimes goes with the flow if it works out. Somewhere around the middle of the story the pacing starts to really slow down to the point it might become too boring to sit through or watch the entire thing but even with that its still noticeable but not unbearable. The first few episodes really go from 0 to 100 real fast. It really goes hard on showing the abuse Mia went through while being in her cell and it doesnt shy away from the blood so it might be a bit much for some people. Even in the end she still has a MiaFirst policy and is still a little arrogant sometimes. Animation One of the major flaws I saw while watching this show is that during some of the dance scenes they will immediately switch to a really jarring CGI. Its almost like they used MMD/MikuMikuDance but its really bad and completely takes you out of the scene. It just feels really off like they think it looks good or something. Other than that the music is just okay. The opening is pretty good. One notable thing about this show is just how expressive some of the characters are and it conveys emotion very well. Conclusion Overall the show is a solid watch with some flaws here and there with some okay pacing and the writing isnt that bad compared to some of the shit I have watched. Overall this show is worth checking out if you like timetravel and princesses.
