But in reality, she is one of Japan's most elite salarymen, reborn as a little girl after angering a mysterious being who calls himself God. This little girl, who prioritizes efficiency and her own carrier over anything else, will become the most dangerous being amongst the sorcerers of the imperial army.

| That cover art looks great already! |
| I've been reading the first volume so far and it's actually better than expected. Hoping they can make something good out of this. |
|
| So many announcements. This one looks good. |

| The nice cover art and that interesting synopsis..... This is worth a try |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| You had me at little girl. Then you lost me at salaryman reborn. I'll still probably watch. |
| This sounds really interesting, there are a lot of reincarnation/isekai stuff but they're usually fantasy, which this doesn't seem to be. Also, cover art looks great |
 |
| Seeing the cover, I immediately thought of Remilia Scarlet wearing a Imperial army uniform... ._. Synopsis sounds really interesting so far, hoping for some heavy dark stuff....looking forward to it :D |
 |
| This is the first half of the audio drama that came with the third light novel volume. |
| Was interested until the 'Salary man reborn' part. I'll just wait for a PV... |
"Hi!" |
LastChapter said: Whelp, it seems like what a lot of light novel readers are worrying about are coming true: more and more reincarnation novels are getting anime adaptions. I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst for this adaption. Actually this looks like the sort of series that shows just how much potential the whole reincarnation thing actually has. Haven't read it though, so can't comment much more than that. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This looks like a formula for failure. All I can hope is it won't be as bad as Overlord |

| Uh what? Are they serious? This is a prime example of something that cannot work as an anime. It's far too complex for this media. The level of military knowledge used in this is through the roof. We're getting alderamin adaptation this year which is already quite high on strategy/military but this one is on another level completely. Furthermore, the other important point of this title is the internal dialogue. It's full of them and it's what makes the series interesting. They won't be able to keep that. The MC is a really interesting character because of them. If you keep those long speech anime watchers will be bored in 2 mn, but if you don't keep them peoples won't understand a thing about the MC. I'm happy to see Tanya animated since that's one of my favourite LN (and to peoples thinking it's similar to other reincarnation LN/Overlord, you're completely wrong here), but that will NOT work. It's even less adaptable than was Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon, and KyouHora's adaptation was pretty mucha miracle to work out. There's not one chance on one thousand that this is done in a good way. In other words, read the novels, don't expect anything from the anime. Youjo Senki novels ARE very good. The anime will not. kuuderes_shadow said: LastChapter said: Whelp, it seems like what a lot of light novel readers are worrying about are coming true: more and more reincarnation novels are getting anime adaptions.

| I assume this will be the usual reincarnation stuff with added NIPPON STRONK nationalism.... Meh. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

Especially when some Aryan loli is involving. |

Nidhoeggr said: Zefyris said: This happening in alternate germany in the 20s/30s. So if anything, it's Germany stronk here. That does not make it better.... It's actually a very good title. Especially if you enjoy military, as the level of detail and knowledge about military history, tactics, supplying problems, political implication of military actions, problems of fighting several battlefronts as the same time, changes made i tactics by the development of aerial combat, and so on is simply astounding. It's also very deep due to it being very MC centered as his inner dialogue are of a completely another level than the usual. However, I don't see how the anime could be good. They will probably tone done a lot the military aspect since there's no way anime watcher can follow that, and they won't be able to keep the inner dialogue either, as this would bore the usual anime watcher in 2mn. So the anime will be a failure from a faithful adaptation standpoint, even if they manage to make it somehow a success commercially (which Idoubt as well). |

| What's this one about, Nazi Lolis? That uniform looks straight up Waffen SS lol. |
Foxfire said: What's this one about, Nazi Lolis? That uniform looks straight up Waffen SS lol. No nazism. It''s 20s alternate germany without nazism as they have never known the first world war in this alternate world. MC is basically the only loli. No fan service/no sexual innuendo or anything. IF anything, MC who was an alpha male -and proud to be it is- pissed off to be small, woman, with a lisping voice. SO don't expect any awkward situation from a male exited to be in a female body or anything. Not gonna happens here. |
|
| Sounds like something I would not enjoy at all so prob pass. |
 |
| Synopsis sound so interesting. I will watch this for sure I hope it airs in 2016 |

| Wanted to read this. Oh well, I think I'll watch it instead. |
| This is my fetish. |
| Now this looks and sounds pretty good, will follow for sure. |
 |
| Not too big on the military genre, already wasn't too into Alderamin, but I'll give this a shot reregardless. Thought this would be Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo too when I started reading the synopsis, was just mixing them up, hopefully that gets translated one day, really would like to read it. |
 |
| Carlo Zen. Is that author a Japanese or some other nationality? So did the girl got reborn into another world/universe since there's sorcerer in imperial army. Can't imagine which country is that. Another 'transported to another world' anime? |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

And on topic the story of this LN sounds quite good i think its good be worth the watch gonna watch it for sure :) |

| So a salaryman gets reincarnated to a new world and becomes a little girl who commands the Imperial Army? They're not even trying anymore, are they. Will at least watch to see how ridiculous it is. Though of course the light novel defense force is coming in and reassuring us that "It's good this time, r-really!" |
HonguJan 28, 2016 5:00 AM
| The synopsis is a 9/10 in terms of ridiculous content. Elite salaryman reborn as little girl because he/she made god mad at him/her? And she's the commander of a bloody army. Also why did she have to lisp? Is that god's wrath? Or a Monthy Python tribute? |

No no no, she started as a normal military student (while did well with all her exam), in her "trainee term" at borderline the neighbour invaded and the higher-up just lump all students with "real" soldiers. She fought well and gain a honor medal, then step by step climb up in imperial army. |

I do watch plenty enough of good ones and whats wrong with giving IS a 9 perhaps a 8 when i think now but idc 9 is fine too and if i enjoy a anime ill give it a high rate and thats it and if you gonna shit on my list then i can do same at you so dont even start some offtopic shits... |

| It sounds pretty interesting at first notice. Looking forward to see how it turns out. |
| The art looks really pretty, especially the curly hair and the blue eyes. Guess I'll give it a try. |

Zapredon said: Zefyris said: This happening in alternate germany in the 20s/30s. So if anything, it's Germany stronk here. Alternate German as in different German from where the MC come from? The MC is from Japan (of our world). The alternate world has a different history and it's the alternate germany that he's reborn and living in. No first world war, and no nazism either (although the alternate Russia is under comunism in the 20s just the same as our world). Another difference is the technology. While the army technology is mostly the same, they have discovered a technological way to use "magic" for some peoples. Using the right tool, they can do various things when properly trained. This allows them for example to assist the artillery by flying and sending them precise coordinate of the target, and the like. |
