English Dub Review: The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior “The Villainous Princess Makes a Request of Her Brother”
Overview:
Someday Stale will avenge his mother. He will get it done no matter what. If only he could remember the dream he had, would that help?
Our Take:
Normally in a series like this, it isn’t out of place for the main character to have dreams about their past or the future that could have been if they acted the same as the game character previously did. What isn’t normal is for one of the side characters to have a dream about the life that could have been. Stale had a dream from his other life where he was forced to kill his mother by Pride, but the Pride we know would never have Stale do such a terrible thing. We also got to meet the protagonist of the game that Pride is now living, her sister Tiara Royal Ivy.
Speaking of Tiara, she is voiced by the amazing Brittney Karbowski. I’m always happy to cover a show she’s a part of and I imagine she will have a major part to play in this series what with being the game’s protagonist. I think Karlii Hoch is doing a great job as Pride, one of her first leading roles if I’m not mistaken.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
