    I watched the first episode of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, and then kind of had a blog post that trashed it for whitewashing slavery took my enjoyment out of it. But now the second season is also highly rated - I wonder if I should go back and watch it?

    The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen - the top MAL comment kind of strikes me as likely: “This anime is a cheap copy of My Next Life as a Villainess.” If you’re watching this, what makes this worth watching if I’ve already seen that?

    Also, is MAL just overly negative in their ratings?

      Last Boss Queen is basically Life as a Villainess as a drama with a clued-in protagonist (and without the school setting, so far). In short, if you don’t enjoy the premise for its own sake, it probably isn’t worth watching for you.

      I watched all of cour 1 for Sugar Apple Fairy Tale and, considering how Ann returned Challe’s wing to him in ep 4 (taking and retaining a fairy’s wing gives you command power over said fairy i.e. slavery), any plausible theme of elevation due to involuntary servitude was removed and it continued on as a cute talented female protag artisan trying to make her way in the world, with too many pretty boys.
