Should You Watch Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess?#
If you are looking for a series that blends mythology with absurdity, Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess (also known as Hime-sama, “Goumon” no Jikan desu) is a unique pick. The story follows a princess held captive by the Hellhorde, where she is subjected to various “merciless tortures.”
Given its genres of comedy, fantasy, and slice of life, this series is a parody that avoids the grimness usually associated with its premise. It is best suited for audiences who enjoy lighthearted humor, demon-themed fantasy, and the charming antics of a captive princess and her captors.
If you want to start streaming, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to see the chaos unfold.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
Whether the anime provides a satisfying conclusion depends on where you are in the watching process.
As of January 2026, the anime is in its second season. For those who prefer to know if a story has a definitive end, there is good news regarding the source material: the Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess manga officially ended on August 19, 2025.
Because the manga is complete, the story has a predetermined conclusion. While Season 2 of the anime began airing in January 2026, viewers who find themselves impatient for the final resolution can always buy the manga to read the ending for themselves.
