3/5
This addition to the world of Disney is a fun take on a Disney villains story featuring original characters, and its comedic approach means serious topics are present but not too heavy. Go to Full Review

3/5
The character designs are particularly appealing, and the use of color is brilliant... Unfortunately, though, we haven't seen any scenes that truly showcase the studio's animation prowess. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

D3Z 1 @RT51637195 Dec 25 Even though the animated version to the hit manga Twisted Wonderland did started off quite slow to begin with and when it gradually picks up mid-way, that is where the series starts to shine. See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector Dec 19 Rating: 6.3/10 A stylish adaptation that's visual candy for fans, but uneven as a standalone narrative. Highlights - Fun Premise: Magic school divided into Disney villain dorms, with sharp character designs. - Faithful Adaptation: Adapts the manga version, adding anime-exclusive scenes. - Great Voice Cast: Interactions between Yuu and Riddle Rosehearts shine. Criticisms - Erratic Pacing: Adapting one book into a full season leads to stretched and rushed episodes. - Overwhelming Cast: Many characters introduced at once can confuse new viewers. - Inconsistent Animation: Stiff movement and clashing CGI with 2D art. Verdict A treat for initiated fans, but a mixed bag for others. Captures the franchise's aesthetic, but falters in delivering a compelling narrative. See more Victoria F @Fivecatsinatrenchcoat Dec 19 This anime has beautiful animation, especially because it is based on a visual novel made prior to the manga, I feel many people are too quick to criticize this anime even though all the characters have amazing well fitting voice actors and while the story is faster pace than the original it is still amazing, even if Lilia doesn’t appear upside down behind the first years like in the game. The fight scenes are amazing, though it is a bit sad that red heart rage was not officially posted and obedience was shortened in its official post even though the original is longer. The end credit scenes are so much fun and introduce us to the characters so well, I am very excited for season two See more Read all reviews
