Studio Kai has unveiled its next stellar anime project, 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! (Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijo wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyu Kimamana Hanayome Seikatsu o Mankitsu Suru). It is set to release sometime in 2024. We have a trailer to tide us over until then.

Those eager to read more about the time-looping princess can check out Touko Amekawa’s source light novel with illustrations by Wan Hachipisu. Overlap has published five volumes since October 25, 2020.

Ikumi Hasegawa is providing Rishe Irmgard Weitzner’s voice. Previously, she voiced Arcueid Brunestud in Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, Lene Aurousseau in I’m in Love with the Villainess, and Shizuka in World Dai Star.

Besides voicing potentially psychotic characters like Arnold Hein, Nobunaga Shimazaki has previously played Tsubasa Shiki in Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!, Chihiro Akina in My Tiny Senpai, and Haruya Nanjo in The Dangers in My Heart.

Studio Kai has set up an official Twitter page and a home page to promote 7th Time Loop. The exceptional key visuals are on those sites. Original author Touko Amekawa and voice actor Nobunaga Shimazaki can also be found on Twitter.

Reborn a Seventh Time

7th Time Loop is self-descriptive. In a similar theme to Disgraced Noble Lady’s Crash Course in Naughtiness, our heroine, the noble lady Rishe Irmgard Weitzner, finds that her engagement dissolved. Prince Dietrich levied fall accusations against Rishe to justify their annulment. Lady Marie is the suspect who requested this since Dietrich and Marie are together, and Marie needs to be rid of Rishe. To everyone’s surprise, Rishe is okay with this and takes her leave. This is because she had seen this event play out before.

Rishe is stuck in a time loop. It always begins with Prince Dietrich’s accusations and ends five years later with her death. The circumstances behind Rishe’s death change each time. Indeed, her life changes each time as well. In her first loop, she became a successful trader. She was a successful herbologist in her second loop, then a handmaiden. For one loop, she disguised herself as a boy and became a knight. However, she died at the age of twenty in each loop. On her seventh loop, she meets Prince Arnold Hein, the man who would start a war and the one who killed Rishe in her sixth loop. However, their meeting this time may not end on such a low note.

Studio Kai’s Newest Loop

Studio Kai is known for producing some incredible work. They have recently graced the world with Uma Musume Pretty Derby, a series about racing horse girls, and Super Cub, a series about motorcycles and those who ride them. Skeleton Knight in Another World disappointed some people, but the fan service eased some of that disappointment.

If you’re looking for something unique, you could do no wrong with Fuuto PI. It’s an anime series that adapts a manga series that adapts Kamen Rider W, a live-action superhero series. Look no further if you want to watch transforming detectives who take on monsters and find attractive women bathing nude in public places.

J-List has many princesses in desperate need of castles to roam about. The first that comes to mind has to be the Princess Luna 1/7 Bishoujo Figure from My Little Pony. Uma Musume Pretty Derby has fans for a reason, and Kotobukiya knows it.
