7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!
ループ7回目の悪役令嬢は、元敵国で自由気ままな花嫁生活を満喫する
Rishe Irmgard Weitzner finds herself in a familiar situation: her fiancé is publicly breaking off their engagement, and her ducal family is about to disown her in shame. However, Rishe is not distraught; she has already had six chances to rebuild her life and chase a different passion each time. But she would always get swept up in a war and die, so now she wishes for her seventh reincarnation to be easygoing and uneventful. What Rishe does not take into account is the presence of Arnold Hein, the crown prince of the Galkhein Kingdom. He is destined to usurp the throne and become a tyrant who starts a large-scale invasion of neighboring countries. To make their encounter worse, Arnold is the one who killed Rishe in her previous life. That is why it is all the more shocking when he proposes to Rishe on the spot. In pursuit of her desired life, Rishe must consider accepting Arnold's proposal and discover the reasons behind his brutal actions to stop the war from ever happening. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

7th Loop serves as a shining example of how to write a compelling villainess story, as well as having one of the best female protagonists I’ve ever seen. If you’re like me and a big otome fan, you’ll really enjoy this one as it excels at all the usual story beats, while managing to be a breath of fresh air for the genre too. Unequivocally one of the best shows of Winter 2024. So by now we’ve had the concept of an evil villainess getting another shot at life done multiple times to varying degrees of success. What makes 7th loop cool is that as thename suggests, the MC has lived thru 7 iterations of her life, which have all ends in tragedy. She’s able to draw upon the knowledge and skills of each of her previous lives and use them in the current one to try and prevent war. I really enjoyed seeing the depth of knowledge that Rishe has. It doesn’t feel forced or contrived like most fantasy MCs, she’s able to work through situations because she’s literally lived 6 other lives which have equipped her with the necessary skills. Rishe as a character is so well written. She really is the archetype I think more authors need to follow when writing women. She refuses to be put in a box and comply with anyone’s wishes but her own, she is determined to live life on her terms and is such a fierce soul. So often in these stories, women are swooning over guys or so caught up in stupid stuff that their own character gets lost. Not here. Rishe may have a prince as a fiance, but she’s not subservient to him or a typical maiden in love. She maintains her own interests, ambitions and identity. Speaking of that fiancée, the romance between Rishe and Arnold is of course one of my favourite things about the story. The idea of this strong and independent woman healing a broken young man and teaching him the error of his ways is awesome to me and I love how it was pulled off. While their relationship starts as one of political convenience, it morphs into something more authentic over time. But Arnold and Rishe are very much their own people with their own personalities. They are powerful individuals who refuse to bend to anyone, including the people they love and I found that to be a lot more realistic than your usual Shoujosei romance tropes where a character falls in love, now their whole personality is dependent on someone. The best relationships are those with two people who are complete on their own, but better together. That’s how I felt about Rishe and Arnold. Plot wise, I think this first season is really good. It’s a mix of political drama, the budding relationship between Rishe and Arnold and Rishe’s interactions with characters from her previous lives. It’s really cool seeing how some of the characters have changed since in this loop she hasn’t met them, and how some are still the exact same. There’s also an interesting plot line with Arnold’s motivations and his future ambitions that I had a lot of fun with. It’s certainly more substantive than your run of the mill villainess story. There’s no demon lord or multiple love interests in this one. It feels a lot more authentic and down to earth, and the story is better for it. Art wise, gorgeous show. Rishe and the other characters are all beautiful. As someone who owns the LN, I think the studio captured the beauty of the art very well. The animation isn’t crazy, but there’s some really nice moments like the dance scene from earlier in the season. Just a solid production. For me, I’d say it’s 7th Loop, Raeliana and Lastame as the best of this genre. All 3 have similarities with powerful women who refuse to be swayed by anyone, mature storylines that feel real, plots that don’t revolve purely around romance and nice supporting characters. I think that’s the secret to success with these stories and 7th loop certainly excels at it. 7th loop gets 9 loops out of 10.

Ok so, she is not a villainess and none of her lives are carefree. The anime starts off in a compelling way: we have a girl who has lived 6 lives and always worked really hard to do and see amazing things. So, in this new life she decides to take it easy. However, she soon finds herself with the ability to stop a future war that was the reason for her death in the lives prior. She would be able to do this by marrying a prince and "manipulating" him in a way that would prevent the war. The romance develops and the political aspectsof the show give it a nice different flavor. But there are many problems with this show. - Rishe, the mc, is extremely perfect in every way imaginable, which makes her boring halfway through the show. The love interest is not bad, still could be more charismatic instead the usual "i hate everyone but you" kind of character but whatever; - The romance develops quickly but not deeply at all, it´s just not convincing and there isn´t any progression regarding it from maybe episode 6 and on. It actually regresses. - Rishe is the only woman in the anime that does something, all the other female characters exist for her to save, fix or to make her look even more perfect. Most male characters have an important job and/or are experts in a subject and, of course, they are all fascinated with Rishe. In fact, all characters are just in awe of her. The same happens with plot lines that are there to show more of her qualities. Ultimately these side plots get resolved by Rishe in no time and barely affect the main story. - When it comes to animation quality and such, it is a pretty show, there isn´t really anything new (but i also dont feel there was a need for that) it has pretty characters, scenery and animation. The music doesn´t stand out but it fits the show. In conclusion: the show isn´t bad, it just feels generic and becomes boring a litle after the halfway point

An unfortunately disappointing anime with a somewhat unique premise that could've played differently. In short, Rishe, the main character, is already "too perfect". She is incredibly smart, and therefore can outsmart literally anyone in the show, even those that are supposed to pose a challenge to her. On the one hand, she acts independently and goes out there and does her own things, but on the other hand, the moment Arnold (the male MC) is involved, she melts into a blushing mess. I haven't found the romance to be particularly good. I don't really think there's much chemistry between the two leads. Rishe claims he wantsto learn more about Arnold but he feels like a hollow shell of a character being a typical love interest in this genre. Arnold's "cruelty" is never truly shown, and he doesn't really do much besides making Rishe blush. In addition to that, the story isn't very interesting either. Drama comes and goes very quickly, and each conflict is obviously solved with Rishe's "big brain tactics". No one else matters, only her showing off her intelect. The problem is that it isn't very endearing or creative. The plot of the show also focuses on Rishe's "past lives" as this is her 7th life, but none of the past lives has been too... interesting? She learnt a few things here and there which made her great at everything, but nothing really flashy. For example, of her past lives was her being a... maid. So she learnt how to pick locks. The anime also doesn't let any big conflict or drama linger, which leaves every single conflict to start->Rishe uses her knowledge to solve it->bad character becomes good->More Rishe blushing by Arnold->Another conflict starts... Just a side note, I also haven't found anything of note about the artistic side of the show: music, art, animation... Nothing really stood out. In conclusion, I don't think it's a very interesting anime. It had a somewhat unique promise (for an already over-saturated otome genre) but did nothing to make it exceptional, which just made it a slog. Pass. 4/10

WHERE IS MY SEASON 2?????!!!!! Our Villainess was anything but carefree in the entirety of season 1. the plot just kept thickening with each episode and the politics was a nice surprise. this is not the "soothing" shojou isekai I was expecting - tbh I started this completely blind and I was definitely hooked by episode 1. here are things that I liked about 7th loop: - the animation is just STUNNING!! you just don't get used to it even after 12 episodes - VAs was pretty spot on for the characters - OST is also pretty good - the ending song is very apt and a banger,the OP took some getting used to but I grew to like it too - Rishe & Arnold reminds me a lot of Raeliana & Noah & that's probably because both have such similar MC characters with similar end goals however, the anime successfully sticks out to be different both in terms of characterization & personality. I loved the similarity & the difference. having said all the good pointers, I do believe that S1 with 12 episodes wasn't enough to convey even half the story. it felt like pilot season. I don't know whether we'll get the full ending for this anime in multiple seasons or it'll get discarded. either way 7th loop is a high-potential anime that isn't the run-of-the-mill otome that had started this (no longer a sub) genre. heck, this isn't even isekai lol it's pure shojou fantasy :')

POV: a capable woman is babysitting 5 immature men in power who were too proud and never exited their edgy teen stage to visit a very much needed therapist. Main heroine, Rishe, is a refreshing character to spectate. Usually, kind and cheerful characters are portrayed as silly, but this time it is different. Rishe is able to maintain her amiability, while also having personal goals and a never-ending thirst for knowledge (wow, brains and kindness can co-exist). In no way, though, she is a villainess. Also, she is not even married yet. Also, her life is not so carefree. We got bamboozled x3 from thetitle alone. The love interest A.K.A. Prince Arnold is, unfortunately, a fetishized version of an edgy teenager who is portrayed perfect in every way and only has a soft spot for his beloved. Not going to lie, the 13 year-old-me would squeal out of admiration for this guy. Now, however, I see how cheesy and naïve and romanticized the depiction of this character is. Other characters, while having potential, seem to have their stories rushed. No wonder, because there are only 12 episodes, and the plot is not finished. It is rather an ad for the original story the anime was adapted from. I feel like there is much more to this plot - at least I hope there is - especially if we take the opening and the ending into consideration. Due to the lack of closure and too much of rushed plot, as well as an unimpressive love interest, this anime is fast-forgettable. I do appreciate the main heroine, though. All in all, it was a relaxing watch, so if you are looking for an anime that is chill yet still has some action and has a decisive feminine main character - you for sure can wind down with this one. Happy watching session!
