As the commander of the Imperial Army's Third Legion, the Royal Empire's princess has led humanity to countless victories against the demonic Hellhorde. However, she has now been captured by the enemy and confined to the dungeons, with her sentient sword, Ex, as her only company.
Due to her royal status, the princess knows invaluable secrets that would help the Hellhorde achieve dominance. To have her reveal all the information they need, the demons do not hesitate to subject the princess to the most vile forms of torture—that is, tempting her with delicious food, lasting friendships, adorable animals, and the most enjoyable experiences imaginable.

Tis Time for Torture Princess is an unexpectedly delightful anime that turns the traditional concept of torture on its head. The Princess, Commander of the Imperial Third Legion, finds herself subjected to the most unconventional forms of torture by the demon lord's army. From gourmet meals to spa days and the company of adorable animals, each episode is an inventive and humorous take on what constitutes true suffering. The princess is then coerced into divulging the kingdom's most trivial secrets. The anime shines with a diverse cast of characters, each bringing their unique form of torture to the table, enriching the story with their backgrounds andquirky personalities. The demon lord is depicted with an innocent charm that belies his fearsome title, portraying him in a light-hearted, almost endearing manner. The princess’s sword, Excalibur, is fully loaded with witty commentary and humorous observations that provide a constant stream of laughter, making it hard to catch your breath between his clever quips and sarcastic remarks.
The voice acting and soundtrack brilliantly complement the show's comedic tone, with Excalibur's witty banter being a highlight.
Its animation is crafted with attention to detail and a clear affection for the genre, making use of exaggerated expressions and visual gags to amplify the humor.
What sets this anime apart is its heartwarming core; despite the premise, it's a story about finding joy and adventure in unexpected places. The princess, with the ability to escape yet choosing to stay, and the demon lord's unnecessary quest for a secret, both reflect a deeper commentary on freedom and strength. Overall, it is a breath of fresh air, perfect for viewers looking for a lighthearted, comedic anime that doesn't take itself too seriously but is crafted with a lot of care and love.

I would give it an 8/10 because this show is very clear about what it tries to do, and it succeeds. My first impression during episode one was "Ok, I get it, pretty neat but there's no way I'm watching more than one episode of this" How can it be interesting to repeat the same premise over and over? They achieved it somehow. The more I watch these kinds of shows the more I appreciate the creative challenge behind them. To completely ditch the "Hero's Journey" playbook of writing. Where thrillers try to be thrilling, horror tries to be shocking, drama tries to be moving, etc.. Thisshow tries to be endearing, and it succeeds.
The character designs are understated but very cute.
The voice performances are committed.
And the events will leave you with a warm feeling of appreciation of the simple things in life.
Whatever it is you have going on, you're probably not locked up in the dungeon of a demon castle. So if Hime gets to enjoy herself there, you can enjoy yourself as well. By watching an anime perhaps, and eating some microwaved cup noodles.
In that way, this kind of show ends up being much more profound than it tries to be.
I refuse to underestimate how difficult it must be to take such a simple idea, and somehow repeat it 20 times throughout an entire season of anime.

I can't believe I was initially hesitant on watching this, thinking it'd be another repeat of what Dungeon Meshi is trying to do, and me not being a huge fan of food/gluttony shows. I'm glad to say that the food bits (which I still think are the weakest parts of each episode) aren't a major focus despite what the poster may lead you to think, and that Goumon is the most wholesome show across this whole season. If anything, the main theme of the show is on appreciating the mundane luxuries in life. Things like walking at night to the convenience store with a friend, anamusement park date, popping bubbles on a bubble wrap, or even ordering the same food from the same place every day, are all incredibly mundane, but the show excels in making them super comfy and highlights the importance on appreciating your regular day to day life.
It also helps that the show is really funny. Surprisingly despite its main joke of "Princess giving in too easily to 'torture'", it does twist it in enough ways to make each occurrence of this joke feel fresh. Plus, I just love its nonsense setting of "medieval fantasy, but actually just Tokyo (they even flatout name dropped Tokyo) where Maou lives in an apartment". The characters are all immensely likable, but special shoutout to Maou who is the best boss/husband/father you will never have, and the MaoMao episodes are the closest thing to actual torture in the show because she is the perfect daughter you will never have.
As with all the best comedies out there, my favorite parts of the show are when the show just slows its pace and tones down the comedy to just have a super relaxing atmospheric episode where nothing is actually happening, but what's onscreen is just so comfy to watch. The oyakodon scene with Torture is peak comfy.
Goumon is a fantastic show, especially seeing as it airs on a Monday which does bring the usual Monday blues down for me. I'm glad the show is being renewed for a second season (or if it had been planned in the first place). I think the closest point of comparison would be the Sleepy Chino show from a few years back, but if Hime-sama was not a genocidal maniac (though the Hime in this show does kill a fair amount of demons in the backstory).
On a side note, I do like how all three of my favorite shows, this, Bravern, and MahoAko, have the same joke of having the Opening/Insert Song play and other characters commenting on the absurdity of it.
8/10

"Tis Time for Torture, Princess" It's seriously one of the most unexpectedly delightful shows I've stumbled upon this winter. So get this: it's about a princess who gets captured by the Demon Lord's army, right? But instead of your typical grim and dark story, they flip it on its head. Instead of the usual torture, they treat her to all sorts of crazy stuff like gourmet meals, spa days, and even playdates with cute animals. I mean, how hilarious is that? But it's not just the premise that's great. The characters are so lovable and quirky, from the princess herself to her witty sword companion, Excalibur. And letme tell you, the voice acting and soundtrack are spot-on. They really nail the comedic tone of the show.
Visually, it's stunning too. The animation is so well-done, with all these expressive visuals and clever gags that keep you laughing the whole time.
But what I love most about it is the heart behind it all. Yeah, it's funny and all, but there's this genuine warmth to the story that just draws you in. You can't help but root for these characters and their crazy adventures.
Honestly, if you're looking for something light-hearted and fun to watch this season, "Tis Time for Torture, Princess" is definitely worth checking out. Trust me, you won't regret it.

'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess - Yikes to torture, Welcome to comedy (is subjective)! Every season, we get too many shows delving into the serious space, and it feels that there aren't as many shows that are of the KonoSuba variety: a pure fantasy comedy that can allow breathing space of fun and excitement, just for the sake of comedy. And it's even MORE rare from a series that comes straight from the juggernauts of the Shonen genre: Shueisha themselves. Introducing to you, from said publisher's Shonen Jump+ (FYI, where the currently most popular series of Masaoki Shindo's Ruri Dragon is seralizing in): mangaka Robinson Haruhara'sHime-sama "Goumon" no Jikan desu a.k.a 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess.
The story foretells of the old-age treachery between good and evil, and that involves humans and demons. From the human side, it's represented by the commander, the Third Order of the Imperial Army of the Human World's kingdom,the Princess a.k.a Hime-sama herself. She has a trusty companion of her legendary holy sword named Excalibur (or even nicknamed Ex) that together, gained widespread recognition for her duties of dealing with their enemy, the Hell-horde demons. But one day, she, along with Ex, got captured by the demons and have been taken prisoners of war by them, and with it, comes torture...but not in the way that you expect. Since there's a treaty between both humans and demons regarding torturing POWs, her main captor, the Hell-horde's Grand Inquisitor Torture Tortura, has to "torture" her in unusual ways, usually in terms of food and snacks that pique her interest into fighting against her temptations, only to give in and leak secrets about their kingdom, in the hopes that their leader, the Hell-Lord, would use that information against the humans...which he does not take that opportunity to do so.
First of all, let us remind ourselves that while this is pure fantasy, it's also a comedy show first and foremost. The relationship between Hime and Ex is quite the nonchalant comedy of back-and-forth antics, and if you've got the keen eye in you, look no further than the VAs behind their characters. Both Haruka Shiraishi and Chikahiro Kobayashi have actually performed their roles together in another very notable series, and if knowledge serves you best, they are also MCs in Golden Kamuy as both the Ainu girl Asirpa and the Immortal Commander Saichi Sugimoto. So for those of you who've watched the series, you'd already know that comedy is part-and-parcel of Golden Kamuy with the never-ending insanity of its comedic shticks. While both VAs have their comedic roles exchanged for the anime, they embraced it with all of the source material's many ways of enduring "torture", and it's one of the reasons why this show works so wonderfully as a comedy, hook, line and sinker.
As for the demons:
- Torture Tortura is Hime's main interrogator, the highest-ranking chief Inquisitor. She who looks stoic to assert her position, specializes in food-type torture, and will boast on her abilities to keep Hime invested and tempted in revealing all of the human kingdom's secrets through her careless word-of-mouth confessions through appetizing and irresistable aspects of food and snacks. She has her assistant Datama to help out with her dealings to Hime.
- The Oni sisters of Youki and Inki, holding the rank of Lieutorments, the intermediate-level torturers. They specialize in friendship-bonding "torture" and build bonds while "pretending" (but genuinely) wanting to be friends with Hime.
- The Beast Tamer Krall, a top combatant and senior torturer, she specializes in zoo-type "torture", employing many ferocious beasts and cute type animals in her possessions.
- Vanilla Peschutz, holding the rank of Harm-Marshal, the advanced-level torturers. A prideful, yet immature young noble vampire of her family, she boasts a lot in her ego, though like Youki and Inki, is touched by Hime in the friendship-bonding aspects as well.
But none can be as fearsome as the main group of Hell-hordes: the Hell-Lord himself, who prides in being an evil, devilish character who wishes to subjugate and conquer the human world with Hime's endless interrogations to prep his army for possible invasions. And as the saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover", the Hell-horde leader...is a very respectable villain (just like Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san's Warumono) who also prides himself in being a demon of culture in all things Japanese, as well as a family man, alongside his lovable, mature and beautiful wife Lulune (who also serves as the queen of Hell-holm) and their only daughter Mao-Mao, the cute and pure young daughter who subjugates Hime with her innocent and childish "torture" that it sends her flying into her arms each and every time thanks to her adorableness. I love families like the Hell-Lord, which adds to the already comfortable feeling of warmth, especially from a character who's supposed to be the image of evil.
The only person useless in the help for Hime's escape is Louch Brittan (a play on the Code Geass MC's name of Lelouch). Him being a holy white knight to save her from the Hellhorde's captivity, as capable as he is a powerful combatant, his unattractive looks as a fatso and an otaku only makes the save worse each and every time, so much that Hime feels right at home in the Hell-horde's 4 walls of her prison room, ready for whatever "tortures" she will be facing next.
For a comedy series, studio Pine Jam really hit it out of the park, both in execution and "intention". The reason for the air quotes is that they don't necessarily need to produce that greatly, but thanks to debut director Youko Kanamori, whose works claim from storyboarding to episode directorial duties for major high-profile series such asn Mob Psycho 100 and Mahoutsukai no Yome a.k.a The Ancient Magus Bride, the manga is given the extra length to be adapted further from his vision down to his staff team, perfectly executing what it means to be a comedy as the main objective. From unnecessary bombastic to the cutest and charming moments ever, this is one show where love and care is given the priority, and I feel that the staff team went above and beyond to deliver the tingles on the heartstrings.
The music is great and complements the show as a whole. Also, this too is also the areas of the J-Pop Anisong debuts: While shallm's catchy and sanguine OP song just speaks and fits the series to a T that I find myself just bopping and dancing to its tunes in joy, LEEVELLES's ED song...is just alright, being the stereotype of usual band-like rock songs that only sounds good, and nothing more.
If there's a torture session I would like to be in, it's this show and its approach to the "torture" content, even if the same gags are repetitive by large. Regardless, if you love comedy, you should not miss out this underappreciated show.
Now go, and make friends, demons or otherwise!

This show takes its namesake and flips it on its head. First of all, I will say, that the running gag of every episode, being "I will not submit, I'm the Commander of the Legion" does get a bit old quite quickly, especially when it's easy to guess how each episode will play out after having watched a couple. However! That is about the only negative of this show that I can think of. The story here is that the Human Princess is kidnapped by the Demon army to be tortured for information and secrets that could help them out, however what ends up happening isthat the Princess develops friendships with the various Demons, revealing that she never really had the opportunity for this sort of relationship due to her upbringing.
There is no actual torture here, just wholesome interactions, completely destroying any notion that the Demon Lord and his army must inherently be evil. In fact, if anything, the Human nation is shown to be more "evil" than anything the Demon Lord and his minions do.
It's also quite amusing that the Human nation is shown to still be quite medieval, while the Demon nation is basically modern-day Japan.
In addition to the genuine comedy that is present in every episode with the interactions, there's also (minor spoiler) a hilarious rip-off of an Isekai story in the final episode, that mocks the genre to the extreme and gave me the most laughs out of the entire series.
The animation and art-style is also incredible for such a series, between the over-the-top facial expressions and then the insane quality of the food and especially the eating of said food. The voice-actors also do an incredible job here and really sell the series as a whole.
Overall, this was a hidden gem of the anime season and I would definitely recommend watching it.
I wouldn't say that it's a masterpiece, as each episode does play out very similarly to one another, but still a very good series.

Between this and Do it Yourself, it's clear that Studio Pine Jam is the group to beat in the slice of life genre. This has a lot of the same aspects I liked about DIY, the fun, memorable characters, the clean vibrant animation (there's not as much sakuga in this one as in DIY but it's still gorgeous), and the genuinely soothing atmosphere. The show rides an incredibly fine line between sticking to a forumula and keeping things fresh. There's just enough structure and repetition to create the rhythms that allow running gags and character development to work, but every segment feels like a creativespin on the basiuc concept, and it's always fun to see what the activity will be or how they goad the Princess into giving up a secret (not that she needs much encouragement after a certain point). While the princess is the lead, it's really a good ensemble series and every character gets at least a little arc of their own, and sometimes the show takes a detour to show us a day in one of the demon's life and the kind of things they deal with. There's a great finesse to how the show doles out background information about the characters and world without really stopping for exposition. They just kind of let you infer things, like how the Demon World is on the tech level of modern Japan, but the Human World is medieval. Stuff like that is fun and rewards paying attention.
This is a great series and anyone who enjoys Slice of Life should make this one a priority, the fact that it got confirmed so quickly for a second season by the end of its first should be pretty telling that they've hit on gold and it's definitely one of my most anticipated shows now.

Any form of act that forces someone to spill the beans regardless of the method is Torture. Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu, might be one of the hidden gems this season, notably because of its own unique genre. This anime contains plenty of genre and blends them to create this show, which I believe is a strong point of this anime. It's a mix of modernity with fantasy, gourmet, light-hearted interactions and most of all the comedy. I really love how this anime creates a genuine laugh without forcing it to be funny, it's straight up comedy and I believe most of the viewers willfind this feature of the anime to be amusing. In addition, this anime doesn't have a plot direction as it only focuses on the Torture of Hime and her interactions of the cast within the Demon-Lord's domain. That being said, this is not a bad thing because every episode brings a sense of anticipation as to what form of torture will Hime be experiencing next. Lastly, the character designs of this Anime, every character design is it's own masterpiece as it evokes different form of vibe that's dependent with their personality and character, in addition their design speaks as to who and what their role is without needing a background check, right from the get go you will have a correct guess as to what kind of character they are. Overall, Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu is an anime that's good for a change of pace as it creates a breathe of fresh air to the fantasy genre of anime industry because of it's unique utilization of the said genre, and this is one of those anime wherein if you want to watch you are in for a treat and if you don't it's ok either.

The greatest merit of this anime was its ability to depict ordinary scenes from life in great detail. Ep.1 managed to describe ordinary food in such a delicious and imaginative way; something as simple as toast could evoke golden wheat fields - the creator must be very good at enjoying small things in life. Watching late at night, it made my mouth watering - so looks like the audience are being interrogated as well! The story (if we consider it as a story) was very simple: the captured Princess was repeatedly tempted by demon for until confession. In the first two episodes, I was concerned onit getting repetitive and boring. Fortunately, the anime explored enough characters, expanding the stage from the small prison cell to the demon's society (which is somewhat similar to Japan). Almost all characters had some contrasting traits (especially the Demon King), and this contrast (or "gap moe") became the basis of most jokes. All characters have their own adorable aspects; in the latter half of the anime, there was less "interrogation", but more slice-of-life depictions. Unconciously, viewers were given stories with broader perspective.
Undoubtly, the drawbacks of this anime were also obvious: there was not enough substance. It gave up logic for sake of humor, therefore it would become less interesting if the comedic style was repeating itself. Overall, the anime was light-hearted but somewhat bland, so it might not appeal to all viewers. I find it more inviting by simply treating it as a guide on "how to enjoy the little happiness in life."

I only found this because it was recommended, and it's been one of my favorites this season. Yea, it's cute and food related, but it's full of surprises and a demon lord who's a better boss than 95% of the ones in the real world. Torture and her sidekick are original and hilarious, and the cast of supporting characters provide the princess with everything she's been missing in her life. And she returns the favor. It's a "feel good" anime that's fine for kids and adults and one I'm glad there's a season 2 announced. Yes, most of the characters are kids and most ofthe adults act like kids, but that's part of the charm. I found myself cheering on the "bad guys" over the good guys because they were simply better in all ways. Animation, sound effects and voice active were all great, and the plots were pretty unpredictable. Plus Ex - the sword - was the perfect straight man for the princess' antics.
ANF
This is a very funny, charming, and heartwarming anime centered around a specific gag. The "torture" scenes are very cute and every single character is incredibly likable. The show manages to span many different topics but is generally about being kind to each other (and yourself) and finding new family and friends in seemingly unlikely places. It's perfect as a pick-me-up anime and as a binge show. Some people might get tired of the repetition of the central gag (that the princess always caves under torture and gives up a secret) but I think each torture scene is varied enough to be entertaining. Later episodes alsobuck the formula for more slice-of-life style situations where the princess is just having fun with her new demon friends (even though we always return to her dungeon cell for more torture).

This was my hands down favorite anime of its cour mostly because not only is this one of my favorite manga of all time but the anime did such a great job with the material. While there are gags, the greatest strength of the comedy aspect of this series is that it is first and foremost absurd. Sometimes things are play so straight I giggle giggle giggle and other times they're so over the top I'm howling. Yet, comedy isn't the only strength of the story. It also has a lot of heartfelt moments like a slice of life anime might have. That's part ofwhat puts this story for me over the top. I really care about these characters and their adventures. I really enjoy when they make me laugh but also that they make me feel for them at times too. It's a great balance. To be honest the only reason I always give this franchise a 9 is because of a knight character that occasionally shows up and just kills to mood every single time, but luckily his appearances lessen as the story progresses.
If you enjoy silly comedies that also have emotion to them then I think you'll like this anime. It's a combination of workplace comedy, slice of life, fantasy, and food. The key to enjoying it is to go in without assuming what it's going to be and just enjoy the absurdity and fun of it all. I can't wait for season 2. I'm so happy they announced it today.

This anime is one of those you can watch while you're doing something else, is not bad not at all is quite funny and i liked a lot of the jokes even if i didn't laugh, it just has that kind of innocent comedy that makes you smile and like the characters despite it all I like that the main character is not annoying as other comedy anime like this do, she's just sweet and very hungry for food all the time However is nothing that stands out after the season it aired in is finished, is just your average anime to watch after a longday and smile a bit, i quite like the character designs tho they're quite simple but they stand out on their own
Also the food looks delicious 10/10
Jonsitoa
It's kind of boring, the same plot everything episodes the jokes become kinda boring after 4 or 5 episodes and that's s shame ok, overall it's not as enjoyable as some people think, the characters are not very interesting outside the sword and the two girls, it maybe needs a little more of sexual humor if you know what im talking about, overall looks good and sound good but that's pretty much all ok, its nit interesting, there is no real threat and its a very simple show tbh but in guess that's ok, people liked for some reason, the manga its somehow popular andmaybe im missing something ok dont get mad with me.

This is one of those anime where you know by the first 1-2 episodes if this show is for you or not. After all, the same joke is essentially overplayed throughout the entire season: That Hime's "torture" is just a joke to see what simple thing she'll cave to next. And she always caves. That's it, that's the show. Except the characters are full of life with their own personalities and ideas. Every character is interesting in their own way believe it or not. Torture/Tortura is our main torturer and typically goes with good food. She's the most mature and quite the joy as the spotlightis on her about as equally as Hime. The actual demon lord is a completely different spin from what you'd normally expect. He might be looking for secrets, but truly he's nothing more than a weeb otaku. The rest of the cast have their own gimmicks such as beast demon with cute animal companions, a giant invested in making Hime relax and chill, the two gal pals who take her out to places like the teens they are, so on so forth.
It's cute and has its own quirky charm to it, but you'll learn rather quickly how repetitive it gets. It really depends how much you can stomach the same thing over and over again! Because it doesn't change aside from later episodes displaying their growing friendships throughout. But its also a fine chill thing to watch especially if you're here for the overly animated food that makes you yourself crave that exact food how dare--
