Bocchi is happiness. I smiled from start to finish.
I think I'm going to watch it again.
Iseki is a pretty tired genre so it's kind of amazing that people can still create clever and original stuff from it. "An Observation Record of my Fiancée - A Self-Proclaimed Villainess" does that very well, even though it's a variation of the "girl from Japan reincarnated in an Otome game world" subgenre. The main reason is that the reincarnated Japanese girl isn't the protagonist. That throws a big wrinkle into the tapestry, especially since the reincarnated girl is a dummyhead. She's really cute, though. The thing is, she realizes she's supposed to be the villain, at least in the game she played, so she's decided to be evil and take the fall so that the Prince (her favorite character in the game) can end up happily ever after with the real heroine. Of course, the Prince doesn't care about all of that, and finds his villainess fiance to be fun and interesting.
