'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess

I found 'Tis Time when I went back into Crunchy's alphabetical anime list. I'm currently on an impossible mission to watch most of the anime on Crunchyroll. This was one that I hadn't watched, so I went ahead and clicked on it. Little did I know it would be one of the cutest and funniest anime I watched recently.

We begin with a truly action packed beginning with the princess fighting a giant monster and stuff. Again, definitely made me think it was gonna be an action anime. Then it cuts to her very first torture session with Torture. With the iron maiden thingy there, I thought she was gonna go through some stuff. But then they bring out the food. And then the sword starts talking. And then I realized that I was sorely mistaken about the type of anime I was about to watch.

I absolutely love how this anime reveals little bits and pieces of Hime's life with the flashbacks before her secrets. It's such an interesting way to flesh out a character and build the world. You learn a lot about this world just through the flashbacks and scenes outside of the jail. It also helps to show why such simple things like good food or friends work as a torture method on Hime. It shows how because she focused so hard on being this tough commander princess, that she missed out on such simple pleasures. Honestly makes me question their human world. Let the poor girl have friends and stuff! I also find it absolutely hilarious that they mention that she's a commander and has gone through so much hard stuff every episode to only have her crumble at the cutest things.

I also really like how caring and kind the Hellhorde is. I love how the ones that world views as "monsters" treat their workers super well and have like normal lives and stuff. It's also really funny how some of the secrets don't work out for the Demon King because of some really normal reasons. And I love how supportive the king is of his underlings. The episode with the ninja gecko was adorable. And this big muscular, super strong man being super involved in his daughter's life is just super heckin cute! And he's so loving with his queen. Absolutely adorable! Get you a man who will be there for you and your family forever!

All of the torturers becoming friends and all playing and hanging out together is so cute. And the little scene with Youki and Inki's high school days is so cute. I also love that the Demon King watches anime. And is like super into it. Everyone should be like the Hellhorde. Accept everyone as they are and be kind.
