Does anyone know if this season covers all the material or can we maybe have to go into depression cycles of waiting for news for subsequent seasons?

There's 7 novels, so unless they're each 45 pages long I don't think we're gonna get it all in 12 episodes.

There are 7 novels out, and the first 6 episodes seem to cover less than 1½ of them.

I keep meaning to watch Shirobako. Maybe I can view it in place of Tanya next week! :v:

It's not necessarily a bad sign though, is it? I seem to recall a couple other shows squeezed in a recap episode at least in part because the series' popularity caught fire and they needed to get new viewers up to speed (andyes, also to save time/money I'm sure).

I think tanya was always scheduled to be 12 episodes long, so they have a spare episode in between the season to use up. But thats if it was planned this way

How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?


It is NUT's first show so maybe there are teething issues with the studio. Shame, because Tanya's surprisingly my favourite show this season. Not the best, but probably the most enjoyable to watch.

I like that with the book material posted so far and with Tanya presumably letting loose a little I get the sense that outside of work Tanya's original dude's personality might've been fun to hang out and play shooters with.

The salaryman is totally the friend you have that is fun to hang out with, but god do you not want to hear about their politics.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

You guys made the show sound really interesting and it didn't disappoint. Just finished episode three and I'm completely invested.

Seeing how detailed every model is in this show, it doesn't actually surprise me too much that they need another week to keep up polish. I think they already work a pretty crazy schedule, so giving them a week every once in a while doesn't bother me that much.

The problem with unplanned recap episodes is that they still take up a slot on the TV stations where the show is airing. And getting an extra slot for the missing episode isn't always possible that late in the season, so they either have to trim down the material to fit into fewer episodes or air the final episode(s) months after the rest.

Tanya is probably basically the equivalent of a P-51D Mustang being introduced in 1939 and being flown by an Ace.

Tanya is the Red Baron in a Fokker Dr.I (service ceiling 6,100 meters) while most of the Empire's mages are still flying Albatros C.IIIs (service ceiling 3,350 meters).

She is Manfred von Richthofen if he were a 10 year old wizard girl possessed by a middle-aged Japanese man.

Or so you'd think, but it turns out the Snoopy equivalent actually is a magical flying dog possessed by the soul of an evangelical Satanist.

The existential dread and fear they feel is an excellent thing to watch and partake in.

Tanya walking in and commenting on their conversation was also pretty funny; you don't see that happen too often in anime. Usually conversations are misheard or the leader decides to pretend not to hear anything, but nope; Tanya just walks in and gives her frank assessment.

So eventually a comedy team is going to base their name on the eventual name for this bunch? Well, let's hope it ends up with a decent name.

Just read the translated manga and its certainly diffrent to the anime. A lot clearer on the story. Though i do like the anime being x more than the mangas.

Lol. She called him a normie. The parts where she "breaks character" and references her unaccounted for years always make me laugh. Like when she told the scientist older than both her lives that when he lives a long life he'll understand murphy's law.

Anyone have the soundtrack (Not the opening and ending theme) yet?

Also who do you think the daughter is of the commander in the last episode? I think its Viktoria based off of the eyes.

The lingering camera shot on her makes me think she's an important character, like maybe the person who got fired also transported here after dying shortly afterwards. That would be the predictable thing to do.

Yeah I think the character is important (Look at those eyes) but just wondering if we have any inkling on who she is.

Not really surprising that an unplanned recap episode doesn't add anything. At least they gave themselves as much breathing room as they could rather than half-assing new content and eating into the time for the real episodes.

I hope the rest of the show doesn't feel super compressed.

the recap is probably not gonna work against its episode count since its been fairly successful, had a week cushion with its original 12 episode count before spring season starts and fwiw myanimelist, which is fairly accurate about the episode count of upcoming or airing shows for whatever reason has the recap as a separate entity from the series
