7th Time Loop Anime Plot Overview
Meet Rishe, our time-looping queen. Having lived out seven lifetimes in various guises, from humble pharmacist to valiant (well, maybe not so valiant) knight, she’s finally had enough of reincarnated hardships. This time, she’s got one goal: luxurious sloth. But here’s the catch: to live the life of Riley, she needs to tie the knot with a certain Prince Charming… who just happens to be the charming prince who murdered her in a previous loop. Talk about awkward wedding vows.
The newly unveiled trailer is a delightful cocktail of comedy and fantasy. We see Rishe rocking multiple hairstyles and slaying monsters with the nonchalance of a seasoned gamer. Then there’s Arnold, the aforementioned prince-of-darkness-in-shining-armor, trying (and failing) to maintain his regal exterior while his bride-to-be gleefully flips the script. The opening theme, “Another Birthday” by Junichi Toki, promises catchy beats and a hint of bittersweet longing, while the ending song, “Kienai” by THE BINARY, whispers of enduring love.
