Ep12 is out and season 1 is over i think? I liked that episode. No big fights but big talks instead, and a pretty good setup for season 2. Looks like thats gonna start with her being the new Rommel? Is anything known about if a season 2 is going to happen yet?

I think Tanya finally lost her marbles. To be fair she just witnessed her entire country throw their one chance to end the war early and have to suffer the consequences of an escalated world war.

Just me or did HorribleSubs miss a whole bunch of lines? Tanya has been sent to Africa in an analogue to the Afrika Korps; the idea of sending a small mobile force to help Germany's Italian allies from losing all of Africa and threatening their Southern flank in the Balkans or Italy; though being a Major unless she was promoted several ranks to General she probably doesn't command the Corps, but as mentioned this episode probably does have a lot of latitude and discretionary authority to sortie with her specialist force. In this case instead of helping some erstwhile allies the force is being sent specifically to do search and destroy against Tanya's version of the Free French forces; which seems questionable as Rommel was only supposed to be given enough to help the Italians his forces won such stunning victories against the British that OKW and Hitler were forced to expand him from a Corps sized formation to an Army and send tens of thousands more troops, hundreds of vehicles and tanks, and further stretch the Italian Navy's ability to supply Rommel's advance. In Tanya's universe there isn't really an "Oops, I won too gud" here, just, here's a corps, now find the enemy and destroy them Hannibal style, somehow. Which is actually kinda perfect in how it encapsulates the flaws of German military thinking which sorely lacked a solid appreciation for logistics or the long term big picture; everything was about Will. That anything else was defeatism and you just didn't Try Hard Enough to bend reality to your Will to achieve victory. We got to see some Russia Yay! Albeit they weirdly had German railway guns, looked like the Karl; the Soviets had large WWI era howitzers which I think we saw the Empire using instead weirdly; the 203 mm howitzer M1931. What's kinda strange is how the Allied Kingdom and the Russian Federation are only really joining because of the Empire's "Bad Boy" meter then because of either an pre-existing Alliance (England WWII), violation of neutral border nations (England WWI), or because of just breaking a non aggression pact and attacking first (Barbarossa),. The Germans in Africa were relatively lucky in that some 300,000 of them got to end the war early in 1943 in Tunis where they were contained by the Americans and were forced to surrender (versus dying on the Eastern front). Conceivably if Tanya was really lucky that would end up being her fate too; but I place good odds on her winning a bunch of victories and is like Hannibal forced to withdraw to fight on the Eastern front if it/when opens here before she can finish off the Republic. Mary Sioux's speech was also awesome; who is her VA? And Tanya has the best speeches; her "I'll be 18 eventually" voice is pretty nice to look forward to. e: does anyone know why Tanya was at the General Staff HQ? I have a feeling Tanya went for some reason that didn't end up happening thanks to War Nerd. Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Makes perfect sense really. Breaking Belgiums neutrality and making GBS threads all over allies arent real reasons to join a war, plenty of examples of countries and kingdoms not caring about that kind of stuff. Belgiums neutrality being broken for example is a good way to explain to the masses why there must be war, but that kind of stuff wont really phase most politicians. Why Britain joined ww1 was Germany was a real potential threat to Britains navy. Like Britain himself wasnt a saint around ww1 times, they had literally commited warcrimes in the second boer war a few years earlier. In Britains intrests at the time a unified mainland europe must not happen since once that happens, Britain would be next to be taken over. Germany was a real danger of something like that happening and if you havent noticed, Germany is very close to Britain. No country wants a bigger more powerful country next to them if they can help it. In this case the whole unified europe is happening. Neither notRussia or notBritain want a unified central europe, the industrial and man power such a thing having is an insane danger to both. Before this they hoped notFrance and notGermany would just kill each other but its clearly not happening so they have to join in too and break up notGermany.

By the end of season 2 she's gonna be a freaky hate monster

If she's not looking like Mad Jack from the final season of Samurai Jack sometime during season 2 I'll be disappointed. Plus I love how Tanya finally realized that people aren't logical creatures after facing so many illogical things for so long.

In a season full of really great anime this surprisingly turned out to be the best and most enjoyable out of them all. The main character was fantastic and the show took what could have been a schlocky premise and handled it was dignity and gravitas while also being loving insane and very fun to watch. Studio NUT really proved themselves with this. I seriously hope there's a season two.

Studio NUT really proved themselves with this. I agree, this show should have been edgelord power fantasy garbage, but turned out to have a lot more going on than just that and was a lot of fun. It's still behind the maidoragons for me, but whatever it's good. I do hope we get more of this. One of the worst parts about anime is how frequently you get a cool show with good stuff going on and you never get to see it end properly because so many things are a flash in the pan that don't get finished.

X is kind of an irresponsible jerk. "Oh yeah? If you won't worship me I'll give you an infinite supply of bombs of varying sizes to solve all your soldiering problems with, but you have to pray to me to use them!" Couldn't he just, like, answer people prayers for good stuff like neverending energy? Or food?

It's an experiment to test Tanya's thesis that strife causes faith. If the war gets worse people become more faithful, and he gets to run Tanya through the wringer more the better she does in battle. It serves his purpose from both angles.

My thinking is that it's also entirely possible that perhaps Being X is sufficient omniscient that he sees whatever the end goal is and is guiding things to that end; whatever it may be.

Being X said he's overworked and can't keep up with the demands of 7 billion people already, so he's clearly not all-powerful the way Jewish/Christian/Muslim God is. He seems somewhere between that and someone like Zeus or a Supreme Kai. SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:It's an experiment to test Tanya's thesis that strife causes faith.
