Alright, let’s dive into Mofa Gongzhu de Xiao Fannao Season 1 Episode 15—or as it’s more widely known, Who Made Me a Princess! First off, a quick recap for anyone just tuning in: this Chinese donghua (animation) is based on the Korean webtoon/novel of the same name, produced by Colored Pencil Animation. It follows the story of Athanasia, a princess who gains the ability to see her tragic future through a magical book and must use her wits to change her fate—originally marked by death at the hands of her cold-hearted father, Claude.
Now, Episode 15. Let’s start with the basics: it’s part of a 17-episode season (wait, some sources say 16? Maybe a translation mix-up), each running about 21 minutes. The MAL rating sits at 7.9, which is solid, but as we’ll see, fan opinions are all over the place—and that’s what makes this episode so interesting.
First, the animation. Fans can’t stop gushing about how pretty it is. One user called it “gorgeous,” another noted the “triple A cuteness” (yes, that’s a thing now). The art style leans into soft pastels and big, expressive eyes—classic shoujo vibes—and the action scenes (like Athy saving her maid from a thief) are smooth and dynamic. Even critics of the plot changes admit the visuals are top-tier.
But let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the plot changes. If you’re a manhwa reader, you might’ve done a double-take. In the original, Athy is reincarnated into the story she read, knowing all the twists. But in the donghua? She’s just a kid with future vision from a magical book. Some fans are furious—“This isn’t WMMAP, maybe a leak from a parallel universe,” one ranted. They miss the isekai element, arguing it added depth (and made Lucas, the love interest, less creepy, since Athy was mentally an adult). Others? They’re relieved. “Glad they dropped the isekai garbage,” said another. “It wouldn’t have made any sense.”
The pacing is another hot topic. Some say it’s “fast but slow at the same time”—confusing, but hear them out: the first 6-7 minutes felt like a “shitshow” (their words, not mine) with too much happening at once, but the rest wrapped up nicely. Manhwa readers compare it to the source and find it off, but new viewers? They’re hooked. “I never heard of the original, and that’s a boon,” one admitted. “It’s a decent story so far.”
Voice acting is a divisive point too. The show has both Chinese and Japanese dubs, and fans can’t decide which is better. The Chinese dub syncs better with the lip movements (makes sense, since it’s a Chinese production), but many prefer the Japanese version for its “emotive” delivery. One user joked, “I like to see a series in its original language, but I’m not used to Chinese—first-world anime problems, am I right?”
Let’s not forget the characters. Athanasia is still the star—“clever,” “adorable,” and “a badass kid” who outsmarts everyone. Claude, her father, remains a mystery: cold, distant, but with hints of hidden warmth (or is that just wishful thinking?). The maid, Lilian, is a fan favorite for her loyalty, and Lucas? Well, opinions are split. Some find his teasing charming; others think it’s “ick” now that Athy’s just a kid.
What about the target audience? The donghua feels more childish than the manhwa, with goofy moments (like the rat scene—yes, that’s a thing too) and simplified dialogue. Some love the lighthearted tone, calling it “cute” and “fun.” Others? They miss the darker, more intense vibe of the original. “It’s too shoujo for me,” one user sighed, “but I’m not the intended audience, so…”
So, is Episode 15 worth watching? Absolutely—but with caveats. If you’re a purist, prepare to grit your teeth at the changes. If you’re new? Sit back and enjoy the ride. The episode ends on a cliffhanger (as all good ones do), teasing future twists and Athy’s growing powers. Fans are already speculating: “What other futures will she divert?” “Will Claude ever warm up to her?”
Final verdict? It’s a mixed bag, but that’s what makes it engaging. The animation is stunning, the characters are likable, and the debates about plot changes are half the fun. As one user put it: “No one hates anime more than anime fans”—but deep down, we’re all just here for the drama (and the cute princess moments).
So grab your popcorn, pick your dub (Chinese or Japanese—no judgment), and let’s see where Athy’s future takes her next. Episode 15 is a solid 7/10—cute, chaotic, and definitely worth sticking around for.
P.S. If you’re confused by the title Mofa Gongzhu de Xiao Fannao, it translates to “The Magical Princess’s Little Troubles”—and trust me, Athy has big troubles ahead. Can’t wait for Episode 16! 🎬✨
