I really don’t know if I like it or if I hate it

Either way here it is, I’m definitely in an art block but I tried to complete it

Btw Raeliana is my favourite manhwa

God she is an absolute badass

I’m so happy they are making an anime 😭

Best Anime Couples-Ships Spring Week 4

Vote for your best couple/ship at anitrendz.com/polls!

Shima and Mitsumi overtakes Yamada and Akane for the second week. Will these two be competing with each other for number 1 for the rest of the season? Many people think Ganta and Isaki can enter the competition for number 1. Raeliana and her dark duke spiked in rankings, raising up 4 spots to round off Top 4.

Sulemio enters the chart at 7th page. One of the nominees for Best Couple/Ship of the Year and winner of the Fall 2022 Best Couple/Ship, they'll probably fight hard to do what they know they're possible doing: winning. Meanwhile, Aqua and Kana and Nasa and Tsukasa both lose some steam, allowing for Ichikawa and Yamada from Dangers in Our Heart to place 5th.

Fanart of Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion

I drew a reimagined Book cover of Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion featuring Raeliana McMillan for a friend.

[1 / ?]

This is the first example of the type of book cover design that will be available when I open my Custom Book Cover Illustration comms in the future.

Polite artistic feedback would be appreciated since I am still trying to work out what factors I need to take into consideration when creating an Illustration specifically for a book cover.

Should you watch Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion?

(Japanese title: Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu)

A Brief Summary

In what appears to be our modern world, Rinko finds herself pushed off the roof of a building by a mysterious figure.  Expecting death, instead she wakes up as a bit-part character in a novel she has read in the past.  Unfortunately, the character she wakes up as - Raeliana McMillan - is fated to die in the novel to trigger the plot forward.

Rinka/Raeliana doesn’t want to die twice, so she needs to figure out how to prevent her canon death using her knowledge of the novel’s plot.  This gets her connected with a particular Duke (Noah Wynknight) who she blackmails into helping her avoid being murdered by her current fiancé.  By saving herself, Raeliana is changing how the plot is supposed to go - and also changing who the hero of the novel - Noah - might fall in love with.

So, should you watch the anime?

Maybe.  This is one for fans of shoujo/otome style romance anime - plus it’s an isekai on top of that.  Definitely not for everyone, though if you are looking for an anime with a smart and sassy female lead, this may scratch that itch.

This type of anime would normally be right up my alley, but something about Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion prevented me from enjoying it like I thought I would.  I’m not sure if it was the characters, the pacing, or the plot, but something about the show was just off enough that it didn’t strike my fancy like a similar anime, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to DOOM, did previously.  Both shows have female protagonists thrown into a situation where they need to save themselves from a canon death in a world different from their own with a lot of sexy dudes around them.  But only one made me go out and read the source material and preorder the upcoming Nintendo Switch game — and it wasn’t Raeliana’s story.

Some of this might be due to the usual suspect of adapting a light novel (or in this case, a series posted on a digital fiction platform).  Later novels may end up expanding on characters and plot points more, but that wasn’t reflected in the 12 episodes that aired.  Things happen fast and there are sometimes scene shifts that had me baffled.  Very minor spoilers, but there’s a sequence of events where our romantic duo is talking, then they’re on a boat at night for a fireworks display, then Raeliana falls asleep on the boat (maybe?  it’s not really explained) and wakes up in bed hours later.  These events could have been conveyed a lot smoother, but they weren’t.

Speaking of pacing and weird story shifts, there are brief mentions of the actual heroine of the novel in the world Raeliana finds herself.  She’s supposed to be Raeliana’s very close friend, and seems to show up mysteriously at the end of an earlier episode, but then never gets mentioned again until way later in the show.  It’s supposed to be a mystery, but either I missed something, or the writers missed something on that early appearance that lead up to jack squat.

Let’s talk about the animation briefly.  This show has some good looking character designs, and if you pause the anime at certain scenes, it’s very pretty.  However, in motion, this show is a mess.  I’m not usually picky about animation, and it was still watchable, but I was distracted by the poor animation often enough that I wanted to bring it up.

Raeliana as a character is pretty okay.  She is more proactive than a lot of typical otome-style heroines, but even with that she still makes dumb decisions and gets kidnapped a lot.  Her being snarky to a romantic rival was fairly entertaining, I will admit.  I had no issues with Raeliana, but she wasn’t a selling point for me either.  Who I did like was Noah Wynknight - the main romantic interest.  His character development was what made me keep watching the show.  I am a sucker for the trope where a cold-hearted asshole type starts to care about something/someone. 

But of course there are more romantic possibilities and rival characters in the novel world that Raeliana interacts with, such as:

A silent but mighty warrior from a race of people that are discriminated against who has a weakness for sweet things (Adam Taylor).

A female knight who tries to be cool and professional to serve her lord well, but also starts to like Raeliana after guarding her (Ansley).

A “fashion wizard” that is a tall and muscular man with amazing aesthetic taste and the ability to give people glow-ups (Nick Maddocks).

A sassy, sexy redhead who used to be the fairest of them all until Raeliana showed up and stole the man she wanted - and now she wants revenge (Vivian Shamall).

A shota looking high priest who is actually an older man stuck in a young body who is obsessed with having Raeliana call her grandpa and work for him (Heika Demint).

A mysterious blonde girl who should have been the main character, so it’s unclear what fate has in store for her after things get changed up (Beatrice Trancet).

Plus more potential love interests and villains to get in the way of Raeliana changing the plot of her new life!

Where does it rate on my personal scale?

S: I will buy it at full price (unless it’s released by Aniplex USA, because fuck their pricing).

A: I will buy it on sale sometime down the line.

B: I had fun watching it, but don’t need to own it.

->C: It’s not my cup of tea, but wasn’t awful.

D: Dropped it.

X: Finished it out of spite, but did not enjoy it.

Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion sits at a C for me.  It wasn’t pretty to watch, the pacing was a bit wonky, and I never got invested in the characters.  Your mileage may vary depending on how you like your romance plots.  There is a novel and manhwa series, but I’m not interested enough to dive in to see how things pan out for Raeliana.
