Fair point. I can't deny that possibility, but I just don't think Being X influenced some random individuals that were probably going to die off quickly. If anything, I think he would be exerting his power on the strategists and generals of the other armies to make sure they're all targeting her specifically. |
| Damn, Tanya doesn't show any mercy. I felt really bad for the old man and his family.... |
  |
| I didn't watch the recap episode, but I was hoping that the animation quality would go back to normal... I don't know much about the animation making process, so maybe it'll go back up by episode 9 and 10? It wasn't just the animation quality, but the sound design was lacking a bit in certain places, but excelled in other spots. Once the battle actually started I was hooked. Ending with the Christmas present thing was heartbreaking, aggravating, but extremely enjoyable. I also really liked the end scene in Kansas, it was a very beautiful way to make me feel more for the Americans (being that I am one). The scene where the American was speaking his own lines of praise to God was making my mind race: "Will God protect him? No way, Tanya is the main character. But how could God be supporting her in her evil actions? What's going to happen?!" His death was very sad, and you could really feel the despair emanating from him as he looked around the fort, the casualties, and especially Tanya. I'm just curious as to when the overarching plot is going to get rolling/reveal itself. The military drama is very interesting and the battles are fantastic, but what is the overall... point? What is Being X's goal? What is he trying to show Tanya by supporting her like this? |

If it is a cliche, I assume you must have quite a lot of examples where this has happened over and over again. |
| Tanya is as savage as ever. It was funny when she was trying to reach up as high as she could to point at the map. Time for Mary to start praying to God. Anyone else think there is a chance that Being X could give her power to fight Tanya? |

| This is the most entertaining show for me this season. :) Once again it delivers. Thank you Nut! |

Kill la Kill Akame ga Kill (Akame vs Esdeath) Haruhi Suzumiya (Yuki vs Asakura) Claymore Madoka Magica Does Arpeggio of Blue Steel count? They're female AIs and some are young-looking, i guess. |
| Poor guy and his family. The ending felt really bad. Still rooting for Tanya :P |

Haruhi most certainly not, since Kyon is the mediator and Haruhi is the god of both Yuki and Asakura. I'll leave it to others about the other 3. The premise I'd followed were (1) Overpowered young girls and (2) "war" setting. With Arpeggio, technically each battleship were overpowered compared to what the regular humans were using (with exception of Iona). Also, they were definitely in a war setting. With Haruhi, the overpowered ones were Yuki and Asakura (the classroom battle). However, I would submit that over Kyon is not technically a full scale war. |

Since I was the one who asked: Arpeggio those are really just ship AI. The girls weren't each others opponents in Madoka. Kyuube and Witch's were, so I'm not sure how that counts. In the two season of Haruhi I watched, I defiantly don't remember any full scales wars or much combat at all for that matter. It was pretty Slice of Life. If that happened in some movie or whatever, it still wouldn't count as the premise of a the show at all. Kill La Kill only counts if still take the original squabble between Ryuko and Satsuki at face value, and fail to look at the bigger picture and actual big bad of the series. Akame vs Esdeath is two powerful individuals in a world of other powerful individuals, and honestly, despite it's name, they didn't focus on Akame or Esdeath much at all outside of the beginning and end. (Of the Anime, at least.) Claymore I'll give you, since I haven't seen it all. I can't do a proper evaluation. But now I kind of feel like going to go look it up. |
| Well, just watched episode 7 of Youjo Senki. Wow - it simply did not disappoint whatsoever. Again, elements of other genres here - the subtle comedy with Tanya trying to reach for the top of the map. The battle scenes were killer, and they wove the 3D in just enough to keep it smooth. However, I love the part where she has an epiphany and figures out the battle plan, and then when the General & LtCol realize she just guessed it, they are amazed (and I think the LtCol may be over his animosity with Tanya, but who knows. As for the rival, I would assume that it's Mary, even if she's in America now, since Tanya having the gun is a red hand to her father's killer. Without having read the LNs, I kind of think that ultimately Mary won't be able to kill Tanya (and vice versa) but rather might be able to push her into belief and faith (or maybe she will after Tanya gets faith and is allowed to be reincarnated again - who knows). Whatever the case, this easily remains the best anime of the season, and one of the best anime TV series I've ever watched. Now, to reply to a few previous comments: Takuan_Soho said: JustDan said: Kill la Kill Akame ga Kill (Akame vs Esdeath) Haruhi Suzumiya (Yuki vs Asakura) Claymore Madoka Magica Does Arpeggio of Blue Steel count?

Haruhi most certainly not, since Kyon is the mediator and Haruhi is the god of both Yuki and Asakura. I'll leave it to others about the other 3. Disagree - while Gunzou might be the OP stud, it's still Iona fighting the others, and ultimate battle is Iona vs. Kongou with Gunzou only in a supporting role. As for the others, I immediately thought of Akame ga Kill, and Kill la Kill, Madoka Magica & Hellsing Ultimate also fit the bill. Alcatraz_Zombie said: Fair point.

Are you sure - Being X essentially admitted that he's stirring the whole world up against her. What's to stop him from using specific individuals |
 |
| I feel like that gun Tanya savaged from the dude she killed , will be used by his daughter on her. Rip that dude and hope his daughter finds happiness without him. |
Alcatraz_Zombie said: Unless they were just extras for the sake of setting up Tanya's fate ...as has been implied before, if i'm not mistaken, it has more than once forced Tanya into a situation where other humans restrict her options.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel is debatable because even young girl AIs have feelings. Also, Tanya is not technically just any overpowered young "girl". However, I gotta challenge the others. Madoka Magica - Homura vs Mami. Yeah, not technically a war, but more of a clash of ideology. Kill la Kill's premise to a point is about two overpowered girls at odds (Nudist Beach vs REVOCS). Just because we know how it ends and which side each character lies, doesn't mean it doesn't fit the original inquiry about "overpowered young girls at opposite sides in a war". Actually, Akame ga Kill is the best example. Esdeath and Akame both have extremely powerful Imperials Arms and are on opposing sides (Night Raid vs Jeagers). Just because there are other powerful soldiers in the war, doesn't mean it doesn't fit the premise. Tanya isn't winning the war entirely on her own. She has a battalion. Also, like Tanya of "Saga of Tayna the Evil", Akame is the Akame of "Akame ga Kill". Whether or not she shares the main character position with Tatsumi is debatable, but SPOILERS.....she's one of the only few who survives the entire series. That's some Main Character status. |

| give her something taller to use on the map not a pen she's too short! lol the battle was very good |
 |
| Why do I feel like I want to change sides with the last standing mage dude!? 5/5! |
 |
| With all this talk about Tanya's "upcoming rival"...does that mean that the Not-United States (Unified States) will be entering the war too? The one thing that I have been worried about is the Not-United States. Along with a slew of other factors, the introduction of the United States did aid in the Allies' victory against the Central Powers. Not-Germany (Empire) needs to make some allies, establish non-aggression pacts with other countries or develop a big enough deterrent (MAGICAL NUKES) if they don't want to lose this war. Come on, Tanya! You were Japanese. You know how much a threat the US could be. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. |
| Hrm. All this talk about the anime deviating from the LN is a bit disconcerting. The anime is interesting and badass enough, but having a diverging plot is a pain in the neck for my ocd. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Am I the only person that thinks it's weird for a child to give her father an initialled rifle as an early Christmas present? What is wrong with the lolis in this anime?! Anyway, that guy died but it's not exactly surprising...what is surprising is the fact that Tanya actually remembered him! |

| They utterly annihilated the enemy. The old soldier was a damn fool. He should just have surrendered. Also, the scene when Tanya tried to reach the map was cute. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Tanya's company is too strong, I'm not even sure will we see some casualties among her own men ^_^" If everything goes well with just 5 episodes left, I say it is enough for the empire to defeat the North and then proceed to destroy the West(may still feel rushed though if this happens and lets not forget about the United Kingdom). |

The beginning of the series, as well as the clothing made me think it was based on WW1. After all, all Empire uniforms are like WW1 Germany uniforms, and the Republic/Alliance ones from the French and Britain uniforms respectively, and the first "big battle" was a recreation of a battle for the Bucharest taking from the Austria-Hungary Empire in WW1. |

| Well, under the strategic plan, the narration is interesting, but under the action profile, the battle is not me seemed so exciting, perhaps because it has not given strong emotions and unexpected twists. So Tanya on the road, we must also count the fall of another enemy, yet credvo me that he would give most hard time, oh well! Not hurt the quality of the drawings, CG good but not great. He hoped he would not have said very much, not to spoil the view of who is yet to watch this episode. Mirorin said: I doubt the daughter will become a soldier if they're not covering a timeskip or something, but she might probably end up killing Tanya in the end on the street or something. Being X may be planning to have Tanya rise to the very top, only to be toppled by a nobody. Overwhelmingly great characters fall because of natural causes or small things though. It's not BS, rather, it's almost a trope? I can think of several examples where powerful characters die because of something minor: Y'all gotta learn to not look at the forums for anime episodes lol. They're always full of spoilers. Even I have not read other people comments, since you ruined my surprise to some concerns LoGH. XD Mascera said: Look at her cute small body pointing the map using that pen. XD Tanya is successfully tick another higher-up again. Just as expected, and one of the thing that makes her "special". :3 But aside from that, it's time for some other attack into enemy zone. A surprise-aerial attack into enemy zone. That scene was so funny and cute in some ways. |
 |
| That map scene hahahahah poor Tanya xD This is getting even easier for Tanya, but i hope that she will have an enemy that can fight her. |

| So far every battle had been pretty one-sided... X where the challenge? Rather than the father getting revived, I think chances are the daughter join the fight, there too much hints for it. Time for X to give her blessing too. |

| Remember kids; don't ever charge into a battalion of elite mages without any backup whatsoever. Especially if one of those mages once wiped out your entire party, and particularly if you have a family to look after. There are always the retreat or PoW options after all.

I think we're already at the main point. Being X is trying to convert Tanya into a believer and earn her respect. |
 |
| They sure weren't subtle foreshadowing the death of Anson Sioux. The dude hit the biggest deathflag one can hit in the war: telling farewell to your family before the battle. The only thing he missed was holding a photo of her wife and daughter and thinking he will return with them once everything finished. Kinda sad they killed him that early, it looked like if he was shaped to be Tanya's nemesis. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting the father to just die when he prayed. Maybe some sort of a power boost of sorts at the very least, will probably see Tanya getting punished in some form down the road and I can't wait to see what will happen! Looks like she is still taking "Being X" lightly, so we will maybe get someone that can test the limits of her power in battle. I don't think Erich will let her get this much attention and power so we can see some conflict between them happen. |
“You choose to be hurt rather than to hurt others, right?  You’re nice and wonderful. But while it seems like you are choosing both, you’re really forsaking both.” |
| Good work making the battle more personal. |

| So This epi was quite awesome.. specially that war scenes though.. the whole epi set out for continuation of Tanya's war and believe.. that ship appearing scenes! Sogui... well done NUT P.S. I just realized that Tanya physical appearance and look in LN(ending) is bit matured & girlish with badass attitude (that i totally like it) but anime done her look alot more like a stubborn child :/ (why???) |

I just realized that Tanya physical appearance and look in LN(ending) is bit matured & girlish with badass attitude (that i totally like it) but anime done her look alot more like a stubborn child :/ (why???) The stubborn child type was most likely the Director's choice. The themes, tone and overall story of this adaptation would be completely different if they went with more mature and serious character designs. I doubt there would be as much humor (as sadistic as it is) in a more mature Tanya (with exception, there are times when she gets super serious and murderous). Also, they would probably have to change the seiyuu, which would be a shame. Aoi Yukki is the shining star of these show. Aoi Yukki portrays that stubborn child type of character perfectly. Her roles as Tatsumaki from One Punch Man and Komachi from SNAFU really stand out for me. It's not entirely impossible to have a contrast between story/tone/themes and the art direction, but I think it would be really difficult to pull off. Imagine telling the story of Psycho Pass with the art presented in Kill la Kill. Or another comparable example would be the differences between Terraformars Season 1 vs Season 2. |
| the guy dying was pretty sad. |
