Does this count as un-reincarnation?
I’m on a plane early tomorrow morning, and on vacation for the weekend. Things will be spotty, though it’s the relaxing form of vacation, not the “do stuff” kind.
Impressions:
Also known as “Who Made Me a Princess,” and both titles are pretty weird because there’s a fairly significant rewrite from the original comic that instead of reincarnation, she just has a magical dream book that lets her experience the future whenever she dreams about it. What does this actually change? It makes the title nonsensical because she was always a princess. Or I guess now has amnesia regarding being a reincarnee. How does this make anything better?
The only highlight came after it had explained and re-explained its overdone premise of her being a doomed but innocent princess at least six times and she set out to thwart the lowest hanging fruit imaginable, a thief dressed like a maid skulking around openly while announcing how frustrated she was that she couldn’t find anything to steal. Of course, she needed to be pointed to the servant’s quarters, and specifically the dinnerware. That’s where nobles keep all their precious jewels, you see. In the scullery as part of the silverware. It gets worse, because she’s foiled by the brat dropping a chandelier that was held up by the loosest knot in the world. So to recap that entire sequence, everything valuable in the castle is kept in the servants’ kitchen, along with a gaudy chandelier that’s held by a square knot. And then everybody clapped. Literally.
There were three episodes in this premiere. The second had her meet her ‘evil’ father, who just scowled at her and then got all starry eyed when she sparkled and called him ‘papa.’ That’s the entire second episode. The third, she falls into a pond and he saves her, but still scowls, thus proving how evil he supposedly is. Did I mention that he’s always half naked in a toga? A wet toga? …Yeah. I think I’m good.
