May I Ask for One Final Thing?

Synopsis
Scarlet El Vandimion has spent her entire life holding back. She's a noblewoman with the temperament of a brawler, forced to play the polite fiancée to Second Prince Kyle, who treats her like garbage. She endures it all for her family's sake, until Kyle publicly dumps her at a ball, accusing her of bullying some commoner girl he's clearly into. The whole court watches, expecting tears or begging. Instead, Scarlet asks for one final favor: permission to punch him in the face. And she does. That's the premise of this 13-episode TV series from LIDENFILMS, and it sets the tone perfectly. From that point on, Scarlet drops the act entirely and starts solving her problems the way she's always wanted to, with her fists and zero patience for nonsense. The villainess label society slaps on her doesn't seem to bother her much. If you liked the villainess setup of My Next Life as a Villainess but wished the protagonist would actually throw hands, this is your show. It's got some of the same aristocratic power dynamics as The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, but filtered through a protagonist who genuinely does not care about playing nice anymore. The comedy lands because Scarlet's bluntness contrasts so hard with the flowery noble setting. The romance is there too, mostly through First Prince Julius, who's been watching Scarlet's real personality leak through for years and is very much into it. It's fun, it moves fast, and the action sequences actually deliver.

One of my favorite animes made me wanna buy a punching bag after
Totally in love with the first 2 episodes. Love how kickass and no nonsense she is nyaaa.
Overall, this anime nails the slow-burn political drama + character angst combo.
Most shows like this fall off once you get past the novelty of the premise, but I never got sick of watching Scarlet clock people in the face.
A female lead that punches someone with the power of god? has to be the tastiest plot I have seen in ages, its unapologetically funny and it feels empowering for a lot of female protagonists that aren't just damsels in distress.
That is one good wrap up for this anime! The plot and the characters are interesting while also balancing comedy and seriousness all throughout. Scarlet really is that woman. Never stop those punches, queen! That was a fun watch!
That was a loaded episode full of fight scenes. Scarlet really is the GOAT! The plot twist in the end tho. I really hope Scarlet beats the hell out of Terenezza. She deserves to be sucker punched back to her world.
The plot is so exciting. I can't wait for more to be revealed. Scarlet will always be that badass woman! She never disappoints when it comes to fighting. But I must say Alflame's character is just peak comedy. No matter what he says or does, everything is just so funny.
An action packed episode with a lot of Scarlet's ass kicking skills. The whole gang finally putting the plan to action. Just the right amount of balance between comedy and fighting is put in this. The tension is still there and is building up for the next episodes.
The plot goes way deeper now with all the chaos that is happening. Scarlet woke up in the nick of time to fix some stuff. This episode has quite a good balance between emotional scenes and action.
Finally back to the actual plot and action scenes! Things get serious with all the revelations. It's cool that Scarlet really does the job while the guys are supporting her. It's refreshing to see a strong female MC just goes and kicks people like they are nothing.
This episode is kind of slow. We get the characters enjoying a festival after the pilgrimage. It's nice to see the cast enjoying (with Scarlet still kicking some ass). The plot does pick up in the end tho. Overall, just a chill type of episode.
The tension builds more now that the religious side is involved. We got a backstory of Diana and how important she is to the town. The pacing was okay, and this episode is more on developing the plot.
A chill kind of episode. The comedy is just so peak! Scarlet's way of saying things so nonchalantly makes it so funny. Nanaka craving attention is so cute of him. Scarlet and Julius' conversation is funny, really cracks me up with how serious it is and then ends it hilariously.
The story is finally getting into the juicy part. The fight scenes are so cool and that part with Alflame really cracked me up. That big reveal in the end really adds up to the tension.
The romance is brewing in the midst of the tension. The pacing is quite okay with a bit of world building. Scarlet really is funny when she gets to fantasize or to actually punch people.
The story continues and there is something darker happening. Scarlet is a cool noble, she doesn't need saving unlike other noble ladies. Action scenes are nice while the storyline is still engaging.
I really thought this is kind of formal since it's about royalty and then we have a princess that is badass. Scarlet is really bold for a princess which really piqued my interest. Storyline is engaging and I can't wait how this story will unfold.
What a satisfying finale. The buildup really paid off and gave Scarlett some great moments. The fight animation felt a bit underwhelming, but overall it wraps up nicely. I’m excited to see where the story goes next.
That caught me off guard, I didn’t expect that kind of development. Definitely a surprise and now I’m even more curious how it’ll end. Also, Terezza is really getting on my nerves, she knows how to rile you up.
