So the alternate world too had Hannibal of Canae............

Loved seeing the gap between her childish props(chair, library book) and her inner monologue. But still I want more evil Tanya, there's enough cute loli's everywhere.

Oh god I started laughing hard when she started describing the Empire's predicament. It was all too obvious just how insanely she was going to get punk'd because of her big mouth and her desire to live the easy life.

Essentially she's about to re-write the history of our world as we know it. I'm looking forward to seeing just how big of a mess she makes along the way.

It was great seeing Viktoriya again too. I was wondering how long it would take for her to reenter the story...

Yet she's sent recruits to positions where they'd be cannon fodder...

She transferred rebellious soldiers to a place where they could be useful without being dangerous for her side. That pillbox needs peoples. Those were NOT good elements, btw. More like elements you don't want in an army, at all.
Furthermore, the moment they died, they were no longer her subordinates. If she kept them instead, they would have died by not obeying orders, which would be worse.


Thats the gist of it. Even the most inexperienced officer should know that preserving lives means having to weigh costs and benefits. Living soldiers provide firepower and security, so don't send them to die needlessly. On the other hand keeping disobedient hot heads around is likely to cost the lives of others. Probably more effective and obedient soldiers at that. Her decision to transfer them to the pillbox falls well in line with that logic, and you have to consider as well that there was no guarantee that the pill box would be hit. She knew it would be likely but it's not like she's clairvoyant. Given that consideration they were actually fulfilling a purpose there anyways.

Omg, I love how Tanya is trying to get on track to living a comfortable life but is currently being screwed over by Zettour who looks like he's basically doing the same thing as Tanya (or perhaps has already got there and now just wants to laze around as much as possible by offering the easiest solutions for himself).

I might need to keep a tally of how many times Tanya shoots herself in the foot. This is honestly just like a high school comedy just set in a much darker, military setting xD

The anime tries to emphasize the conflict a bit more than the LN. He really dug this one on his own.

Ah, I though that might have been the case. A visual medium needs to make use of stronger (and perhaps less intricate) symbolism than written form.

Still EPIC Indeed!
Tanya, even though you're experience since your soulkd is just a reincarnate from an adult salesman, NOT everything will go as you desired!
I feel that General Zettour has something he sees on Tanya, even though all he says is compliments towards Tanya, I still get the feeling that General would still keep an very careful eye to Tanya!
5/5!

Tanya just talked her way right back onto the front lines! LOL!!

Has Being X taken over the body of General Zettour? His plan came together a tad bit too perfectly, and he seems to know that Tanya really isn't a child.

Tanya was so adorable from the moment she woke up ♥ Not being able to reach the book and being given the highchair to eat along with the generals d'awww~ I found Captain and Tanya cute together since they first talked in the café like father and daughter.

I was basically grinning the whole time Tanya was masterfully delivering her World War Battalion speech since it's basically the spitting image of WW2 and I loved understanding every single word she said. How she quickly picked herself up with a clever response after stumbling was impressive.

Her aggressive yet effective proposal completely backfired on her lmao xD She's now in a position where she'll go in front of all the frontlines lol The generals look a bit suspicious but I guess it's just their attitudes. It's nice to see Officer Hanamaru back too~

Tanya back at being a student again and she's adorable. Hihi. All of her classmates are males and she's the SMOLlest. :D

This episode was so funny throughout. Her being a male is coming out here. Haha. So cute. Her opinion became a reality and being assigned to carry it out. I'm dead. Her facial expressions. Haha. You can do it, Tanya; you have Viktoriya at your side. Yay!

I swear it's really hard to trust other people here except Viktoriya. It's like everyone want to hurt Tanya. Fuck. And that Imperial Army General Hans Zettour, maaan. Get away from my precious Tanya!

Man I'm so glad Netflix added this to their list of anime now it's easier to watch than streaming it like I did with the previous episodes, I actually have all the episodes downloaded in my phone already.

Anyway she's back again in fighting. Gonna see more of her sadistic side again. Though I still can't look over the fact that she like 7 or 8.

Well capitalizing on her past life's knowledge of world history is advantageous, knowledge is power after all.

She was sitting on a high chair! LOL

Too bad her plan backfired by being too smarty pants about it, and now she'll be even more at risk, but hey, rank hath its privileges, yes? XD I just hope she make it past her eventual (for now) rank of Major in the future.

She is quite op from the looks of Episode 1 though..... That said in a world where Magic are very basic (Explosion and Faster Projectiles) instead of elemental magic her OPness are quite humble.

Ahh Tanya talking like an adult. Thinking her position and all, but it would bite her in the butt sooner on. Wanting a rear job but ending up in the front is quiet a humor

very interesting tactics given by Tanya, her opinion of a world war starting and her tactics to battle that were both a big brain moment and probably her immediate downfall back to square one.
lmao i love how they remind us that Tanya is still technically a nine year old by subtly poking at things like "my daughter/sister who is around your age" or her major height difference.

On one hand I keep thinking that this show is running away from its potential and can be very boring at times (I must admit military discussions aren't my thing), but on the other hand Tanya's character is definitely entertaining.
I love seeing her playing the innocent yet smart and courageous little girl with a tragic backstory when I know who she really is.
And seeing all her efforts constantly backlashing at her is always very funny. Karma is definitely against her, isn't it ?
Now I wonder how the next episode will play out. Action will be back I guess ? Maybe that means more of the real Tanya instead of the one she's playing. I'm intrigued.

While I completely understood where the plot was going by the "writing on the walls", I believe that Tanya's own ego perfectly blocked her from realizing that they were totally going to put her on the frontlines.

Aw man, Tanya outplayed herself in that conversation after the library. By trying to strenghten her own interests, she actually made a suggestion that weakens her position. This feels even more like Overlord, by hearing the thoughts of the protagonist, this way we can retrace the decisions made.
