| Finally back to savage loli. This is why I'm watching this anime! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Poor Romanians. They don't know what hit them! The warning under international law had me in stitches. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands."

| NUT is giving a nice first impression. It is my favorite anime this season! Tanya is pure sadistic madness. |
| This show is just too good. I haven't been this hyped for something in years! Damn I really hope the LN gets licensed soon because this is one of those series that I just have to own. |
| Best episode so far! Pity some of the humour from the light novel were not included in the anime, like the bickering during the selection process. |
| Awesome episode, holy shit, I just love Tanya. The message and everyone like "now that's a good joke!" and Tanya like "I was serious, you know..." TAMAYA! |
 |
| Now we get to see just how nekoing evil this crazy twisted loli is. Loved those sadistic loli parts. She was not holding back and was trying her best to make all those maggot run away with how cruel she was. But those maggots ended up surviving the hellish month, much to her dismay lol. And wtf was Daika doing? They had 600000 men and they got literally obliterated by about 2 dozen people. They're probably showing that while there are the technologically advanced Germans and French, these people are so backward. And Tanya was shocked at what was going on. And then that attack on the capital. God dammit! Loved how Aoi Yuuki switched from crazy twisted loli voice to cute loli voice for Tanya. I can't help but feel that with everything going so perfectly fine, there is bound to be something bad happening here with Tanya with the kami-sama pulling some strings. |
| Tanya = best girl this season. She is so badass and the evil expression she does all the time is great to watch. |

| Interesting. The director really rushed this episode and also the inner thoughts of Tanya and the senior officers were actually spoken out or became someone's dialogue instead... Which is effective since it saves up time but I'm a bit depressed because it was so much funnier or epic when they were just inner thoughts. The manga did a better job with the training arc as well. A WAY better job. (And of course the LN was just awesome in its entirety). |

Wilhelm-II said: Zefyris said: I know which side was Austria Hungary. I'm pointing out that the Dakia incompetence is a direct link to Austria Hungary. Dakia is basically what would have happened to austria hungary if they didn't went to war against a country 10 times smaller than them (Serbia) but attacking an all powerful germany (the germany in that verse is even stronger than it was in our world in WW1) head on instead. If you know the details of the decisions made on Austria Hungary side, if the name of conrad von hotzendorf is (as it should be) for you one of the biggest example of criminal incompetence from an army chief of staff during the first world war, then you should know why I'm saying this. Actually Conrad wasn't that incompetent, if you read the light novel one can actually see that the Empire makes the same mistake as Austria-Hungary in our timeline by deploying the main forces against a much smaller opponent while leaving the other fronts open for attack; the subsequent failure to redeploy the troops to the other front fast also mirrors the difficulties the austrians had with switching from Plan B to Plan R. Finally, Dakia does represent Romania, as they joined the war after the great powers and were quickly and soundly beaten by the german/austrian/bulgarian counterattack; the lack of modern equipment and tactics also supports this as not even every soldier in the romanian army had a rifle..... Conrad was a complete incompetent and an idiot. This warmonger s mainly responsible for his country entering a war that it wasn't ready to go through, responsible for most of the most inept military operation that the first world war saw (together with some of the Ottoman Empire and the very early French offensives, for example), and clearly responsible for the death of hundred and hundred of his countrymen he sent to their death without proper equipment, without proper battle plan and often for the wrong reasons. As well as responsible for his country disappearing from the map. But anyway, I disagree about the northern front war in Youjo Senki. Sure they sent a massive amount of troops here and that ended up being a mistake (but the northern front wasn't a failure, they just had to retreat to defend the french frontline before they could finish), but this correspond to early germany on the eastern front before the commander on that front was changed (which happened quickly), just like it happened in the empire in YS. Furthermore, the empire was only at war with that single country at that point, not with several. Trying to shut down one dangerous country completely before taking care of others is exactly the idea behind the plan Schlieffen. Meanwhile, Austria Hungary went willingly to war against a country they didn't need to wage war against (Serbia) while denying the importance of artillery and machine guns, and considering cavalry and infantry charge would lead to victory. And they did that against one of the very few european country that already had experience in modern war (a few years earlier for Serbia with the Balkan liberation war). The result was a total disaster, and among other things, it is well known that that soldiers from Austria Hungary were very scared of the hand grenades the Serbians were using. Now take Dakian. Going against a country that had experience with modern war (with the other fronts going on since several months) without being prepared, doing cavalry and infantry charge while not thinking of artillery, and on top of this, Tanya's battalion uses hand grenades on them ( and it's the only time mages did that in youjo senki so far). if that's not a direct reference to Austria Hungary attacking Serbia, I don't know what this is. Things are mixed up a lot in this verse compared to our ww1, but you can still recognise the various references. |

| Fuck yeah!!! Tanya the Beast is back :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Dakia got completely annihilated in this episode, lol... That was just crazy. |
  |
| Lol fucking Tanya with that loophole. Giving them the evacuation warning in a way that wouldn't be taken seriously so she could annihilate them all (without breaking any ethical rules since she technically did warn them). That was a fun scene to watch. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| damn that's fucked up she really is a demon lol episode gave me flash backs of gate overpowered mages vs Revolutionary Army it was so one sided you can't help but pity them. just waiting for karma to strike again |
 |
| Tanya with the childish voice roleplay omg i dieded |
For all the great scenes in this episode, this shot has to be my favorite. Sometimes we all feel like Tanya... |
| Tany was great in this episode, she/he is such a badass leader. Wtf was that? Fighting against people with rocks & sticks?xD One of those generals said "Hold the formation", and i was like "what formation?" hahahah Tanya is so badass omg xD "Where are your visas, oh nvm you don't have visas" ahahah Dakia got rekt pretty hard xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Tanya's training is really tough but i love how the soldiers were motivated .. battle is intense even though their opponent did nothing but die, I find it cute when tanya delivering that warning, her voice was not threatening lol .. TAMAYA!! |
 |
| Great episode, I'm enjoying this show more than I expected |
| Impressive amount of onscreen soldiers. Can't wait to see a worthy opponent. |
 |
Glad I'm not the only one who found that heinously reprehensible act hilarious. Can this show get a Comedy Tag? |
| I really wanted the training arc to be larger, it only lasted 3 or 4 minutes =/. I wished to see more of hers training methods xD. |
 |
| LMAO that Loli threat was hilarious. Best show of the season so far for me |
 |
| Loli powers engage! |
| *spilled water* Hahahaha WTF is this cute voice war declaration. Is this include as surprise attack too? Be thankful you heard this last cute voice when your life is over. |
 |
| Nice episode. I just love seeing all of Tanya's plans going down the drain. Hilarious as fuck xD That was some training tho to have them quit. This show is just too trippy haha. That message she gave sounding like a cute little kid hahahahahaha. Fucking killed me xDD Oh also, TAMAYA :P Looking forward to the next episode ^^ |
  |
| Holy shit this anime is getting better and better every episode good thing i wasn't fooled by its appearance and actually started watching it (before watching it I thought it was cringe shit) Like someone mentioned here i'm not a sadist or anything but I enjoyed this episode so much and Tanya's voice acting played a very big role in that. |
| I lost it when she changed her tone to tell them she was going to bomb them, lol. I never expected to enjoy this show as much I am right now. Also, that kingdom that was invading them, was it supposed to represent the Ottoman empire? I can't think of any one else lacking that much technology coming from that part of the map into the war. |
| Doesn't cease to amaze me the level of sadism and cruelty of this cute loli, the warning with the childish voice was the most funny part of the episode, I could do no stop laughing. All Hail Tanya! |
 |
| What the fuck is wrong with Dakia kingdom? From the look of the capital, how come it don't have the knowledge of 'mage' and 'spell'?! Is that even possible? It is a surprise that Dakia kingdom survived this long without being invade by other kingdom with 'mage and spell'. Also, it doesn't seem that Dakia kingdom is isolated in a island that result to no communication to other countries and their technology. Can someone explain? |

| Just an observation using the "find" function...no one is going to mention the Full Metal Jacket shoutout during this episode? Also, those fucking sound effects, they didn't save heavy object from being formulaic shit and won't help this be any better or worse. Beyond that I find this more appealing from the other two or three titles I'm watching this season. |
| "you will die, but the empire will live forever, so you too will live forever" amzing quote awesome ep again |
 |
| i am curious ... she look pretty in the LN and the manga but not in the anime ..! any particular reason ? |
|
| tanya is such a lovable character to watch..... such an awesome battle |
 |
Hydrous said: i am curious ... she look pretty in the LN and the manga but not in the anime ..! any particular reason ? It woud cost way too much money to have the same chara design animated. And she ain't here to be pretty anyway. :o |
| Lmao at Tanya's "TAMAYA!" XD There have been a lot of improvements with Youjo Senki this last few weeks so hopefully that continues...I really loved seeing Tanya's relationship with her battalion, it's fun to watch! I also found it hilarious that she was trying to torture her soldiers into quitting so she wouldn't have to lead them into battle...but in the end they were too scared of the consequences of quitting haha. And that baby voice at the end had me rolling tbh |

| So hellish training, but those trainees got motivated with Tanya. The child voice frank was really funny, yeah they didn't broke the international law xD I'm not sure if Dakia was just playing off by sending their on land battalions, or they're just this inferior. |

| I can't believe I almost dropped this series on the 1st episode because I thought it looks like shit. But wow, this is PROBABLY going to be one of my faves of all season (if the second half episodes will not be messed up). I just love Tanya! And that "visa" and the warning voice. Hahaha. Can't stop re watching this one. I really hope the suceeding episodes will be as good as this. I have high hopes for this anime!!! |
| Ended up rewatching this episode alone 4 times. And it was just as good every single time. Love how despite creating an insanely OP mage squadron, her initial plan was actually to brutalize them unreasonable for a month so that they'd give up, so that she'd have an excuse not to actually head to the front lines. Her superiors, her subordinates will all be surprised by her efficiency and inspired by her "tough love" methods, but in the end what she wanted was for the project to ultimately fail and that they would send her back to the back lines for an easy life. In a sense, all her glorious victories are going against her plans for an easy life, and of course actually in favor of the so-called "Being X". That said, there were way too many comedic instances this episode. Viktoriya being so used to her "tough love" regimen and already digging her fox hole before the other soldiers knew what was going on was hilarious! As too was Tanya's greetings to the invasion forces and of course her "declaration of attack". As evil as she has been since the beginning, you really cannot help but love this loli, and the schadenfreude of all her plans being unstuck by her own efficiency and other's misunderstanding of her intentions and often portraying her as the OP hero rather than the sloth that she desires to be. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| This episode was awesome! And weirdly funny also. Like from start. Tanya's outside giving a hell time to inside Tanya. While inside Tanya want lack off and have luxurious life at rear, she wanted to get thet by being exemplary employee, to say so. Her assistant is so terified by her that she is giving her all to help their job, so Tanya is torn by fact her talented assistant doing job too well. And she again underestimated Imperial propaganda, so her training exercise that could kill people just uphold every mage in. They all are so into Tanyas outside, they wanted her to give warning so enemy ignore it and they could slaughter all. They all turn into sadist to please their Major. But I think, that if Tanya was able to attack enemy HQ and then capital, she could also capture their government and force them to surrender to Empire or something. But everything else was great Iam exited to be back on battlefield. |
