    Interesting how the plane designs are so rudimentary in light of flying mages filling many of the same roles.
    That's good world building.

    Episode 7



    --- - - - -


    The Americans can't come soon enough with supreme numbers and finally nuclear bombs. It's already getting a bit annoying how well everything is proceeding for a single side, whereas the other sides are failing all the time. I hope Tanya at least lost half of her unit, which would be realistic.

    I donīt feel that itīs unsatisfying to see Tanya succeed. After all, her knowledge about history IS her greatest trump card. Greatly enjoyed this episode. It definitely felt like this victory set in motion a true change in history. Should be exciting from here on out.

    Btw. something I just now really noticed: You know when in other anime the hero appears and the music gets triumphant in a positive, hopeful way? Well, in this anime, when Tanya and her squad appear, the music actually becomes freaking sinister! Itīs typical "oh no, the boss enemy is about to win, what can we do?!"-music, except here itīs used to mark the victory for the "hero". I found that quite amusing ;D

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    It's not like I want to see Tanya herself fail. Tanya being OP is kind of the point of this story. But she's still just a single person, so what she can do ought to be limited. But then again, maybe I'm too harsh on this show as it's only showing Tanya's victories. Things might be worse elsewhere.

    I mean, we *know* that "Germany" would lose the war, if Tanya didnīt accomplish something of significance. So her continously winning is prerogative to the entire series. Not that Iīm against some setbacks or preferably tougher opponents.

    Who knows. The war went smoothly for the nazis for quite some time before they hit the wall and ultimately lost. You could say the opposite was true for the communists: Their start wasn't that good, but in the end they occupied and ruled the whole eastern Europe.

    I merely tend to get bored when one side is too overpowering for whatever reason, for too long. The worst cases are those where the other side(s) are total incompetents. I enjoy fights that seem quite equal and are won through real effort or genuine looking brilliant strategies. The nice scenes where a strong MC occasionally humiliates some random nonames are a different thing, and they don't typically matter so greatly in the bigger plot.

    The Empire's regular military forces aren't that much better than their enemies. In the first episode, the Empire was losing ground to Not-France, until Tanya's battalion came in.

    The Empire simply has more powerful and more agile aerial mages. They're the Nanohas to the rest of the world's Harry Potters.

    Also, as Tanya was pointing out before she was rebuked, the Empire leadership has begun to spread their forces thin, and isn't aware this is about to become a World War. They think this all ends in a month or two, the not-British kept at bay, the not-French beaten into submission, and the not-Scandinavians made into a puppet state for supplies, and not-Russia won't bother them at all.

    In reality, all they've really done is invaded not-France, conquered Denmark and invaded not-Oslo, and completely conquered Poland, Austria, and a few Balkan states.

    This episode was actually less OP than it should have been. Tanya's artillery spell multi-locks and has ridiculous range. 20 cannons should have been an easy job for her by her.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Planes are softer than artillery.

    Episode 08

    ----------------------------------------------------














    This God is a dick. He also doesn't seem like a very bright being. For someone so omnipotent he's revising his plans an awful lot.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Which means he's very similar to the Christian god.

    I really don't like Loli's but I will make an exception for Tanya. Just started watching and this little psycho is great.

    God thing is sheīs not your typical bs-loli who acts like an adult because ... anime. Sheīs the reincarnation of an adult guy, so it makes sense for her to behave the way she does, despite looking so young.

    You kind of forgot the important part. A nihilistic former-man fighting a self-proclaimed God, fully aware that everyone who dies, no matter how gruesome, will be reincarnated...except for her.

    The reincarnation part of her motivation is a great deal more important than the former adult man part.

    If that's his/her reason to be so cold then (s)he's clearly not thinking this through, reincarnation isn't really comforting, because you have no memory of your former life, so you are not with your family, not with your friends... and more importantly, the family has to keep on living knowing you are dead.
    Depending on their social status, without support of the man who earns all the money.

    I actually think she just doesn't give a fuck. She wants to beat god and succeed for spite and success's sake.

    And that's awesome.

    I like how Being X decided to punish him by sending him into another world with no status, family or anything so he would turn to faith. Gives him superb magic affinity and blesses his OP jewel so only he can use it by praying to 'fill his heart with faith'.

    For someone who's punishing someone that fella sure doesn't have a good plan.

    In my opinion, Being X isn't just teaching Tanya a lesson, but also using her.

    Create an enemy of the world. Make her powerful. Give her a nickname of Devil. Create a hero to take her down. Hero is moved by faith. Hero spreads word of how God told him to defeat the devil and give him power. People start worshiping everywhere. God happy.
