| Yup, this show is just as awesome as I remember it to be! Tanya's egotistical traits and her atheism beliefs is quite something really, to say the least. Mad props to Aoi Yuuki for absolutely perfecting this role, this is definitely one of my favourite individual VA role of the medium. A perfect example of this impeccable combo were those final moments showcasing it all, almost as though in reply to Mary's little moment of rise. Pretty action-less finale but it was nice to see some more focus on the two different sides of the fray. Great to have a little recollection of sorts from Tanya's side too, humans really are foolish and while her idea of wiping out the chain of hatred does sound plausible it's definitely inhumane considering the acts that'll have to be taken in order to achieve that and set it in stone. Dope conversation there with the Lieutenant, as a whole. Overall, this was some fantastic rewatch! Found this experience to be absolutely enthralling (9.50/10) as well, maybe a tad more this time thanks to not having weekly waits I suppose! Appreciated some of those subtle comedic scenes at the end of the episodes too, they were simply glorious xD. Action choreography were really good and tense (slight question marks over Tanya's Opness of course but that aside not many issues to point out), the Sound Department (9.0/10) did wonders throughout (Op, ED, Osts and VA were all fab) and the Animation (9.0/10), as a whole, was really commendable especially more so given that this was Studio Nut's first major production. All in all, a well-deserved 8.50/10 despite it not having the best of Storylines (7/10) and Character Development (7/10), aside from Tanya obviously. Props to CR for subbing the Movie and as a consequence giving me a valid reason to check this out once again, will definitely go and watch the movie ASAP now! Season 2 better be on its way! |

| The overall pretty interesting, story wasn't enough but Actions was really good I like it. Tanya's logic was really interesting. Looking forward to watching the new movie. (10/7) |

| Lol her enemy is literally Mary Sue. Anyway, I feel misleaded by the "evil" in the title. She isn't that evil, yet. Also it's all that Entity X's fault. Without that, no big problem, just your average salaryman with a shitty job consisting of firing people. Someone's gotta do it. |
| bruh |
| Not much action in here, just boring talking. The most interesting parts were the ones with summarizing the war and how it affected the world and of course Mary's enlistment. The anime was cool and entertaining with original concept. I liked it. :) |
| So this is need seasson 2? |
| Well got damn it all to hell, fk being x. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Show started off great but these past 4 episodes were kinda weak. Not to mention aside from Tanya, the characters in this show are seriously bland and boring. They really did a whole ass backstory on that father and gave him all that screen time and the power of god just to kill him off in 5 minutes, not to mention that dumb red explosion he did that didn't do shit. and now they trying to hype up his daughter lol hell no Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable. Hope the movie is better tho |

| that was an incredibly interesting anime, the world it was set in, the protagonist, the similarities to past events of our world but utilising the twist of magic and alternate realities. Story and plot, was very well done. A world with countrys and empires closely resembling ours in the 1900s, each housing incredible military capabilities finally caves in and a world war begins. However with the discovery of magic the advancements to technology are much different and to some extent the combat as well, this leads to interesting concepts and ideas of a faction war with different fighting styles and strategies being formed. Compared to our wars, we see the Empire (our Germany) actually be invaded by a force know as the Republicans, given them a reason to fire back and conquer more land. Due to the protagonist we are given, we are given more POVs from the Empire which i personally don't mind, they used good plans and strategies to properly win the war and defend their fatherland Attention to detail was very nice (i'm not all to amazing when it comes to history but i do know my bits so please excuse me), although it is a fiction world, factions used their respectable rifles/weaponry look-alikes as well as uniforms Now for the "protagonist" herself. I loved Tanya (please don't get the wrong idea i swear to fucking God). I know she hardly makes out as a protagonist because she's literally evil incarnated with what she does, but then again this anime isn't even trying to hide it's entire "super villain" vibe to it from which i love. Things like the intro, to how our majority of our POVs are from the Empire who are very closely resembled to Germany which people usually see as the "bad guys" when it comes to the world wars because of their contribution in ww1 and ww2 all give us this different experience like a twist to the regular story this time with a different mc. Yes, she has a harsh way of thinking where everyone is expendable and only thinks of ways that benefit herself disregarding what that could mean for others, but honestly most of what she does is justified. Her sadistic yet cunning character that could be seen as a manifestation of her being reborn from her previous life being a office worker which also might of helped with her being constantly shown as a loyal solider is what makes her interesting since everything she does in the war is to help contribute to the Empires victory. The fact she's does all of these things while practically being 10 year old is...pretty fucking hilarious on top of all of it but still. One down side i must say about this anime is, side characters such as , Wilibald, Rhiner, Weiss and Viktoriya were really hard to remember. The anime does a pretty...eh job at highlighting them which sucks since they are supposedly quite trusted by Tanya as they have been given the privileged to leadership their own separate squadrons, but which to be fair there are only 12 episode to this anime and i guess there isn't enough time to be developing on side characters. The ending overall was nice, we got a justified answer to why the war wouldn't end thus leading to maybe a season 2 and more. Overall, good anime loved how they handle the militaristic + alternate world with magic theme and hope they make more of this series in the future. |

| So the war made Tanya mature on some level while at the same time becoming even more messed up than she was before. Somehow, it works. Now I'm interested to see how this will play out in the movie, especially with Mary who's clearly taking the path of hatred that Tanya decided to erase (I knew Mary would want to avenge her father, I KNEW IT). I give this show a 6, I kept hesitating between 5 and 6 until the few last episodes that made me think the show really wasn't all that bad, it just could've been way better. Tanya was the only actually good character which made everything else be very boring at times but well, I hope it will improve in the movie. It has the potential, at least. |

| "Oh..God...I WILL CUT YOU IN PIECES AND FEED YOU TO THE PIGS" WOW I NEED MORE TANYA |
| I liked it. I hope they make a season 2. If I'm being honest I only watched it to better understand Isekai Quartet I'll rate it an 8/10. |
| Somehow I want Tanya to go against the top brass for making such stupid decisions, she wouldn't be in that mess if they just listened to her. That speech about humans was great though and unfortunately it holds much truth. This anime definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm not even entirely sure why I enjoyed it so much, by its genres it's not something I usually like. Maybe those were just the Overlord vibes, but the whole thing was just really well done with an interesting protagonist (or antagonist?). Guess the movie will be interesting, though I don't think Tanya will have to fight the daughter already. 8/10 |
| An interesting anime series. I feel like Being X just placed Tanya in a world which she could excel and feel at home ...... all the while being trapped in a repeating cycle. I gave it a 7/10 and did enjoy it. |
 |
| And yes as predicted the cycle of hate repeated itself, and declarations of war are already in place. It would've been much better had they listened to Tanya's plead earlier. But yeah good for us, will have Tanya in action once again. Really one of those shows which I wish I'd have watched earlier, one of those isekai to add. Onto the movie now, 8/10. |
 |
| My 187th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| reason i haven't watched it yet is, i am worried about possible bad ending Best ending is if she stands on top of the world, if she becomes the Overlord worst ending if mc dies in animes overall worst ending is if MC dies or MC love interest/possible gf or wife dies or leaves specially if its for dumb reason cause love interest thinks he or she is holding him or her back, doesn't let him or her decide whatever he or her want's to sacrifice hes or hers career |

| We are now against the entire world!.....and Mary Tanya's edgy speech at the end was also funny |
 |
| pretty shocked how mind blowing this is. i had a good ride despite it not having lots of funnies. while i do share some concerns with others i do hope theyll try to still be bad butts with s2 welp back in the days people were much tougher unlike nowadays you look at someone while not wearing glasses, they sue you for xxxual assault |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| The ending is definitely meant to set up a second season, and it's been confirmed, but there's no news on when it'll come out. I watched it in basically one sitting, and honestly, it's one of my favorites. I enjoyed every single episode of it, and if the second season doesn't come out anytime soon, I'll go ahead and read the novels. |

| She marches on the capital . He whispers and she hears. She prefers it as it’s poured. No matter how much the god of war loves her. She claims the god that saved her has no love. You could even call it a think tank. Will she admit being from the future? Probably not. At their cores they are all fools. Maybe. Vengeance driven by fury. When pushed they still prioritize emotions over logic. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. They know exactly who to use. The intervention of God could be disastrous. They went through terrible legs to show off the sharpness of their sword that it was incapable of recognizing the terror that that sword inspired. Mary sue volunteers. Dear lord let her be her heavenly sword. it is finally a world war. They are the tip of the spear. They are going to take gods job. More than a monster. A Devil. My initial impression was a 7 and : I didn’t mind it. It isn’t the worst story. An exploration of evil can be interesting on occasion. I am now thinking a 6. I thought it was a little annoying, and I think a lot of that is the fact that it is from the perspective of Germany. it wasn’t written poorly, and it very much recognizes that what is going on is evil. I am probably being very hypocritical here, as my story likely and unfortunately romanticizes evil even more than this. So I don’t fully know how I feel. But I don’t know how I feel about that aspect of my own story either. Also the ending was really unsatisfying. 3 |
