----------------------------------------
Interesting episode. We got Tanya handling his military duties as usual but also more exploration of his military studies including the rules and fundamentals. I do wish they put more time into the action but for it's worth, I think the pacing is working out well to develop more of Tanya's character and life.

The small amount of details they put into what Tanya does at the military school is also rather interesting too. He has a lot of work! lol.
I expect action to pick up again soon.

Hahah I love how she's forced to take the tough path when she's just dreaming of a safe life working in the rear!

We get to see her old subordinate at the end again, I was expecting that though.

Maybe some war action next epsiode already again? hahaha

Maybe my favourite TV anime this season. 10/10

They went through the war college part surprisingly quickly, I expected two episodes with the first culminating in Tanya feeling awesome about having earned brownie points with Zettour and manipulated Ugar into dropping out, then the following episode smashing that to pieces by opening with her "promotion" dinner and the process of forming her special unit.

That aside, glad they didn't skip out on emphasizing her age, what with the trouble getting books from high shelves and the children's seat in the dining hall (although it would have just as amusing to see her struggle to eat due to inappropriate seating).

The way that Tanya's dream of an easy life crashed and burned was comedy gold! She talked too much.

Tanya's "previous ability" as salary man seems making the conversation about to-be World War goes easier to understand. She easily make people around her to believe it easily. Then again, after the talk she seems to be late on realizing what kind bad thing that might occurred.
And we meet again, Viktoriya.

Pretty good buildup episode.

Tanya dug her own grave by proposing that Rapid response plan. xD
Her conversations are always really interesting to watch especially when she comments on the flow of the conversation in her mind.

Tanya gets her own battalion now. This should be really interesting.

Loving the show so far.

They also did explain nicely that Tanya got so flustered over trying to make the right impression to the general and not sound like a coward that she didn't realize she's digging her own grave.

Tanya's plan backfired. She thought she was safe from the front lines, but her suggestion made the higher ups to choose her. The conversation with her and Captain Uger was nice. I can't help but liking to hear her inner thoughts.

Tanya tried her best to stay in a safe position, but Satou-san appeared and ruined her plans. No one can escape Satou-san even in a different anime.

This anime is surprisingly good. It makes me sad to see that it will be only 12 episodes.

i bet Tanya's superiors threw Viktoriya into her battalion to keep her "bad rep/personality" in check, seeing as she is the only one tanya shown "compassion" to by having her recommended for officer position away from the frontline.

Exactly my thought. I just love seeing her thought process. And whenever the conversation doesn't go her way, we see her frustration/shock and then we see her move conversation in her favor. I almost never see it in anime, it's such a great detail. Helps us understand and relate with her better since she is such complex character without it we would've just been confused.

Poor Tanya... smart as hell, but not wise enough. Set herself up to be screwed over by her own lack of foresight.

Now that Tanya is gonna get stuck in a battalion, we shall see how many unfortunate souls will become meat shields...

...That is unless she gains some wisdom to realize that conservation of lives is conservation of firepower and security.

Haha Tanya trying to get a Hannibal book, but can't reach it due to her height :( Reading about Hannibal is smart for sure
This episode was filled with Satou speaking lol. Guess his terrorist attack didn't work in Ajin and he decided to become general in Youjo Senki lol.

Tanya is so precise with her prediction of the war going into world war territory.
Also this Tanya's quote is so precise, exactly what's happening in politics lmao."You should try persuasion when people are mentally defenseless.The fascist that proposed that was a demonic genius"

The conversations this episode were really interesting. Tanya trying to give off a good impression to her superior ended up forcing her to dig her own grave, and the talk she had with that guy in the cafe was nice even if (or maybe because) she was only doing it for her own interests.

I'm wondering when we'll see more relevant stuff out of glasses guy. So far it's just been him saying Tanya's bad news (and rightfully so), and then everyone else ignoring him.

She always had such idea. She dislikes the waste of good potential/good elements, and on top of this, losing troops is bad for her promotion chances anyway.

In this episode, Degu's face performance is so FUNNY.

The gap between response and intention is so large during the conversation.

Contrary to real intention, she would be pushed into the dangerous front line.

Yet she's sent recruits to positions where they'd be cannon fodder...

Well they were transfered away from her to a location where they would most likely end up killed, she had no reason to risk having two gungho Hero types on her team, if they don't follow orders, it's insubordination, and if she doesn't react to it, she's the one who gets the blame. She's not above sacrificing pieces for the sake her own wellbeing, but doesn't believe either in the senseless loss of useful and good personal. Insubordinate personell aren't among those.

She transferred rebellious soldiers to a place where they could be useful without being dangerous for her side. That pillbox needs peoples. Those were NOT good elements, btw. More like elements you don't want in an army, at all.
Furthermore, the moment they died, they were no longer her subordinates. If she kept them instead, they would have died by not obeying orders, which would be worse.

because they wanted victory or death. You don't get victory by acting out of line and putting everyone else at risk.

This wasn't even Being X's doing. Tanya, you dug yourself into this hole.

They are not trying to copy it, its an adaptation. I think they choose the look for her because she has a bubbly, compassionate personality that acts as the foil of Tanya's personality.

It's not like she wanted her plan to ever succeed or to be even considered, she rather had to show she has one in the first place in order to look good. And it didn't had to be one she wrote down - sweet irony. She basically overthought her plan. And what is even more ironic, once she gets to the front line, no one will see her actually regretting the decision or be scared, since by the grace of God's meddling, everyone outside will perceive her as completely fanatical zealot.
