However, when they boot up the game, they discover that Prince Siegwald can actually hear them as they are playing.
Thinking they are gods, Endo and Kobayashi use their commentary to help avoid the tragic ends for many characters through advising the prince on his dealings with the tsundere villainess Lieselotte.
Villainess anime is so hot right now, which is why having this unique spin on it is actually fantastic. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, then head on down below.
Anime Like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte
For Fans of The Villainess is Actually a Sweetheart
My Next Life as a Villainess – All Routes Lead to Doom!
At eight years old, Katarina Claes, the only daughter of a duke, hits her head and suddenly remembers she was once a seventeen-year-old otaku that got isekai’d.
She realizes that she is now in the world of Fortune Lover, the otome game that she had been playing before her death.
Unfortunately, she is not the heroine, but rather the villainess who usually ends up dead or exiled at the end. As such, she endeavors to change her fate and avoid all doom flags.
Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte is the latest entry into the “I’m the villainess” trend in anime that My Next Life as a Villainess started. However, Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte does at least twist it by not being a classic isekai.
Both series have an “actually a nice lady” villainess that is headed for doom in their otome game. However, it is only through the intervention of others from another world that they avoid it. The difference is that My Next Life as a Villainess has a girl from our world reincarnated into said villainess rather than having people from our world pull the strings as they play a dating sim.
Aside from the obvious, both series are wholesome anime without much else. However, as My Next Life as a Villainess has her befriending literally everyone, it ends up as more of a wholesome bisexual harem rather than the romance that Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte builds towards.
I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Being constantly ill, a girl passed her time in the hospital playing otome games. However, one day she wakes up in the world of the game she was playing. What’s more, she wakes up as Aileen Lauren Dautriche, the villainess of the game.
After childhood friend and crown prince Cedric publicly breaks up with her for the game’s protagonist, Aileen makes moves to avoid the tragic future that results in her death. She decides to propose to Cedric’s half-brother, Demon King Claude who, if left alone, would transform into a dragon and off-handedly kill her in the game.
So begins her quest to tame him.
If you enjoy your villainess anime with a more direct and singular romance to explore, I’m Taming the Last Boss is a great option.
Like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, the villainess is in love with just one man and their love affair is explored as the main plot. However, while I’m Taming the Last Boss does have an array of fun side characters, their relationships aren’t quite as fleshed out.
Trapped in a Dating Sim – The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
After starving himself to beat an otome game for his sister, office worker Leon falls down the stairs and dies. When he awakens, he is a young son of a minor noble that wasn’t featured in the game.
Looking to live quietly as a nobody “mob” character, he is soon saddled with an arranged marriage he is against where he decides to use his knowledge of the game to get out of the match and reach for his own happiness.
Like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte had its twist with the modern day characters only being able to speak with certain characters in a dating sim, Trapped in a Dating Sim has a twist by reincarnating a man into a dating sim world where he ends up befriending the villainess, among others.
While Trapped in a Dating Sim is still more “dating sim/villainess” anime, it does have a bit more action and having a male main character does shift the dynamic more towards feeling like a harem at times.
For Fans of Romancing Royalty
Bibliophile Princess
Ever since she was a child, Elianna Bernstein has preferred the company of books to people. As such, when she is proposed to by Crown Prince Christopher, she believes that she is just a temporary fiancee to protect the royal family from the schemes of other noble families.
Yet, when Christopher appears to be getting closer to another girl, Elianna looks up from her books and realizes that she is not as indifferent to him as she thought. What’s more, Christopher was never anything other than in love with her either.
Do you enjoy the very “anime-style” glittering royal couple of Sieg and Lieselotte? Well, Bibliophile Princess employs very similar character designs, though the characters themselves are a bit different.
Both series fully commit themselves to exploring the romance between the crown prince and the woman that he is smitten with. The woman in question has quirks in her personality that serve as the primary roadblock to romance. In Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, she is a tsundere. In Bibliophile Princess, she is bookish, shy, and often unsure of herself.
Snow White With The Red Hair
Shirayuki is an herbalist that lives a normal life in the country of Tanbarun. However, when her beautiful red hair is noticed by the Prince Raji, he tries to make her his concubine.
She then decides to cut her hair and flees into the forest. It is there she is rescued by the second Prince of neighboring country, Wistalia, named Zen.
In order to repay her life debt to him, she sets her hopes on becoming the court herbalist in the capital of Clarines.
While both anime follow the romantic lives of royalty, they go about it in different ways. Unlike the fitting stations in Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, Snow White With The Red Hair follows a prince falling in love with a common girl, and that does serve as a bit of a roadblock in their relationship at some points.
While Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte plays into the whole dating sim twist, Snow White With The Red Hair is more akin to a fairy tale romance.
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
When she was a young child, Princess Anisphia recovered the memories of her previous life. Despite her having disappointingly no aptitude for magic, she uses the world’s magical capability and her past life knowledge of technology to form the realm of magicology.
One day while testing an invention, Anisphia crashes into a school party where her older brother is publicly breaking his engagement with Euphillia, robbing her of her future as a queen.
Anisphia whisks her away and asks her father to let her have her as an assistant and secretly hopes to make her a lover as well.
While Magical Revolution is a girl’s love anime, it also tells the story of romance between a royal princess and the noble’s daughter that she falls in love with. Like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, there is also a dark intrigue brewing in their kingdom that makes is so romantic shenanigans aren’t the only factor in the plot.
Unlike Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, Magical Revolution is often a lot more dedicated to the other elements of the show like magicology or the political intrigue rather than the romance. The romance is simply just an element whereas it is more a main plot in Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte.
The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent
Sei, a young office worker, is summoned to a new world. However, the people who summoned her to banish dark magic from the world only meant to summon one person they would call Saint. Instead, they summoned two, and Sei discovers that they actually like the other girl better.
Not really caring about that, she ends up making potions at a research institute using her newfound magic. Unfortunately, while she is unexpectedly talented at her work and happy doing it, she begins to think that she is indeed the Saint.
The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent isn’t actually a “royal” romance like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte since no one involved is actually royalty. However, both series have a girl fall in love with a glimmering blonde princely-type.
Essentially, the love interest in The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent looks like Sieg and acts like him outside his gushing internal monologue.
The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent is satisfying as a romance, but it is also a solid choice for those who want a little more plot outside of romance too.
For Fans of Otome Game Event Breakers
Romantic Killer
All high schooler Anzu Hoshino loves is video games, chocolate, and her cat, Momohiko. She has shunned everything else, especially a romantic life.
However, one day a magical creature alters her reality where she can’t have any of those three things that she adores and is told that in order to return to her normal life, she must indulge in the dating sim situations that have been set up around her involving the new troubled transfer student Tsukasa Kazuki, her childhood friend Junta Hayami, and a wealthy sheltered student named Hijiri Koganei.
While Romantic Killer may take place in our modern world, it is built on a similar foundation to Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte – breaking dating sim event tropes.
They are trying to save characters from the game outcomes in Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, but in Romantic Killer, she is trying not to end up in cliched dating sim-type situations. Both series have some very meta moments for dating sim fans, and also end up as very nice romances.
However, don’t expect any grand romantic progression in Romantic Killer, although it clearly has a primary boy among the choices.
The World God Only Knows
Keima Katsuragi is known as the “God of Conquest,” a man that can conquer any girl’s heart, at least in his dating sim games.
However, when Keima arrogantly accepts an offer to prove his dating sim supremacy, he finds himself at the mercy of a demon that forces him to woo over real life girls.
Both The World God Only Knows and Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte are about people playing dating sims, essentially. The twist in The World God Only Knows is that he is using his dating sim knowledge to essentially “dating sim” girls in real life to fall in love with him upon the challenge of a deity.
The large difference to keep in mind is that The World God Only Knows is a fun romance, but not really wholesome like Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte. He is essentially manipulating a number of girls he doesn’t love for the challenge of it, after all. However, a more earnest romantic relationship does develop over time.
