What is the 7th Time Loop about?
The story follows Rishe Irmgard Weitzner, a young lady who has been reborn seven times in different worlds and occupations, from a merchant to a knight. However, no matter what she does, she always ends up dead at the age of 20, five years after her engagement to the crown prince of the Lize Kingdom is annulled. She suspects that the cause of her death is Prince Arnold of the Hyne Kingdom, the neighboring country that has been at war with Lize for decades. Arnold is a cold and ruthless man who has killed Rishe in several of her previous lives.
In her seventh and final loop, Rishe decides to accept Arnold’s proposal of marriage, hoping to break the cycle and enjoy a carefree life. She makes a deal with him: she will marry him on the condition that she doesn’t have to perform any royal duties and can do whatever she wants. Arnold agrees, as he needs a foreign bride to appease his father, the king of Hyne, who wants to end the war with Lize. Rishe moves to Hyne and starts living a luxurious and leisurely life, while Arnold focuses on his political and military affairs.
However, as Rishe spends more time in Hyne, she begins to see a different side of Arnold, who is not as cruel and heartless as she thought. She also uses her skills and knowledge from her previous lives to help the people of Hyne, who are suffering from poverty, disease, and corruption. She gradually develops feelings for Arnold, who also starts to warm up to her. But can their love overcome the fate that awaits them? And what is the secret behind Rishe’s time loops?

What are the storylines and plots of this anime series?
7th Time Loop is a refreshing take on the popular genre of isekai (another world) and otome (maiden) game stories, where the protagonist is reincarnated or transported to a fantasy world, often as a villainess who faces a bad end.
Unlike most of these stories, where the protagonist tries to avoid or change their fate, Rishe embraces her fate and tries to make the best of it. She is not a helpless or naive heroine, but a smart and resourceful woman who can handle any situation. She is also not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself, even against the powerful and intimidating Arnold.
Arnold, on the other hand, is not a typical prince charming or a tsundere (cold on the outside, warm on the inside) love interest. He is a complex and realistic character, who has his own reasons and motivations for his actions. He is not easily swayed by Rishe’s charm, but gradually grows to respect and appreciate her. He is also not a perfect or flawless hero, but a flawed and human one, who makes mistakes and learns from them. He is a worthy partner for Rishe, who challenges and supports her.
The relationship between Rishe and Arnold is not a clichéd or rushed one, but a slow and natural one, that develops over time and through various events. They start off as strangers and enemies, then become allies and friends, and finally lovers and partners.
They have their share of conflicts and misunderstandings, but also moments of humor and tenderness. They are not only romantically compatible, but also intellectually and morally compatible. They are a couple that you can root for and relate to.
