My Review of "'Mr. Villain's Day Off"!
Even bad guys need a day off to see the pandas.
Story
The story follows Warumono, commonly named "The General" due to his superiority over others as a villain. However, he's only the villain when he works as when he's off, he tries to make the most out of his time to relax and enjoy the one thing he loves the most- pandas. This anime shows what The General's does on his off days from fighting the rangers.
Visuals
The visuals are actually a bit nicer than other anime I've watched. The expressions definitely had effort and work put into them, which makes the show more entertaining to watch.

To put it simply, the main character, labeled The General, is a chill guy who doesn't give much care to anything except pandas or anything that resembles a panda. He's mostly emotionless to anything as he just wants to make the most out of his days off from being the villain. Although he seems menacing, he's actually pretty soft outside of his work. The rangers, mainly the red and pink rangers, show up the most in his stories although many of them don't include the rangers in general.
The Good
Beauty lies in simplicity, and this anime shows that to be true. Despite its simple story, this anime was entertaining and enjoyable. I liked the small bits of comedy, I like the goofiness of the main character, and I just overall like the setting. It's comfy, and it leans into that trait heavily instead of doing the obvious and prioritizing the action that the General witnesses every day he works. Even in the stories with the General, the anime is able to capture that coziness through the stories of other characters.
The Bad
Although it's a good, simple anime, that's really what's preventing it from being anything better. I think with what they've given, they did everything pretty much perfectly. From the small storylines that show the collaboration of the ranger and the General to the obsession with pandas, everything was satisfactory to me. However, there's not much substance to the story, meaning there's nothing really worth seeing in terms of change or high stakes.
The Downright Ugly
How could anything be downright ugly in this cute anime?
Is It Worth The Watch?
I think that this anime is a good option to watch if you're looking for something relaxing over something filled to the brim with action. I'd personally say it's worth the watch. It's cozy, it's friendly, it's everything you could want from a comfort anime.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. ^^
