Hime-sama "gómon" no džikan desu - Season 1

I'm a seasoned anime fan who's seen it all -  you won't break me with such a simple and repetitive series! You won't make me laugh with such basic jokes. You won't make me melt with all these cute and likable characters and animals. I've seen an anime about a sleepy princess in the demon castle – you can't surprise me by turning my expectations 180 degrees and turning torture into something enjoyable. None of it is going to win me over. Or so I thought. This show did the unexpected. I found myself smiling through every episode, chuckling at the simple jokes, loving the pop culture nods, and the parodies hit just right. Even the characters I thought I'd dislike, like that "monstrous" demon lord, grew on me and I ended up wishing the princess more "torture" with her newfound friends. I can't give 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess anything less than a 7.5/10, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next season. (25.03.2024)
