After a string of terrible anime this season I have to say that From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated has completely knocked it out of the park…
I think my cheeks will cramp up from the dumb smile I am getting on my face at watching a 52 year old man navigating otome game tropes.

After finishing all the episodes it makes me want the same studio to adapt that other otome game reincarnation story where a guy gets reincarnated as the father of the villainess, and decides he will just spoil his daughter. I should consider re-reading that one if it’s still around online, I enjoyed it.

Once a misfortunate orphan and genius alchemist, Glass Dimelia defied death through forbidden research—only to be executed by a divine agent. However, the goddess Aurora granted him reincarnation, and due to Fortuna’s intervention, he retained his memories. Now reborn as Leafa, a girl in a new era, she embarks on a journey to find love and happiness.
