English Dub Review: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X “My Graduation Ceremony Happened…”

Overview

Catarina Claes is finally graduating from the Magic Academy. Catarina reflects on the past two years as she talks with all of her precious friends and attends a graduation party at the castle. There, they all speak of their feelings for her, starting with Geordo…




Our Take

It feels weird that the cast only had their time within the magic academy for two years before graduating rather than the three that a lot of us viewers are used to with storylines involving Japanese high schools. But regardless, the graduation party was a nice one. It was also a reminder of how much of a glutton Catarina is which is of course played for laughs.

Given that this is supposedly an adaptation of a Manga, The author clearly is taking the lazy way out that Tite Kubo did with his creation “Bleach”. As he doesn’t seem to know how to advance the plot without kidnappings as this time around involved about 5 episodes with kidnapped people which keeps me from giving this a higher rating because outside of Keith’s storyline, there were no actual stakes.

Overall, a good final episode for season 2, and a nice graduation party as it manages to give Catarina a good moment with each main member of the harem. Honestly, It’s watchable, but man does it become incredibly boring once the Dark Magic plot-line is brought up. Not to mention the same uninspiring “kidnapping” arc has already been used three times and two of them in the same season.
