'Tis Time for "Torture, " Princess

The anime seemed like a sweet story about a girl named Hime being pampered with delicious food and finding new friends. However, it turned out to be a total bait and switch! I was the one being tortured, not Hime, by the constant repetition that made finishing the show a chore. The first episode did a great job of drawing me in with its cuteness and lighthearted humor. Unfortunately, the jokes got old fast, and I regret sticking with it all the way through.

While the show recycles dialogue and scenarios, it lacks the wit to make repetition funny. I wish they'd focused on humor instead of just repeating the same lines. The characters are kind of boring. I wasn't looking for super complex backstories, but some more energetic or lighthearted personalities could have helped overcome the show's repetitiveness.

A shorter version, like 5-minute episodes, would have been great.
