My imaginations are running wild!! She's yandere waifu material!! I mean, just look at these!! Really <3 the ED.. Wait only ten years and we just get Esdeath, or even more than that? :o People don't mind it's a man in a girl's body? That salaryman's in there, still. How awkward it must be for him to deal with femininity... How would he be attracted to males? He wouldn't necessarily, I think; he'd remain attracted to females. |
| Never expected more to the story and it is actually way more better than what i thought. really interesting story especially the conversation between the mc and god/x. and it was kinda funny to watch an actual atheist person talking to a god, making an argument and yet the person is still ain't gonna belive in god. tbh, imo, it's interesting to waatch. pretty good ed song btw :D looking foward to the next episode. |

| Op song is great but visuals are cheap. ED LN art is a nice touch. Genius Mad scientist has been converted and DUES VULT is the answer  |

rikuhod said: I wonder how this series will end?? I mean is she planning to achieve something like Homunculus from Full metal alchemist? the plan is live in the rear line of combat, or even better, make a peaceful country that nobody want to mess with, or have no reason to mess with she have intelligence gathered by a 2013 man, surely its not impossible to convince people to do progressive things, when you also got the guns & gods even helping him to spread faith and maybe get married for career & stability [quote=Rehls message=49399765] imbuement said: AnimeMangaGamer- said: Wait..if she's 10 years old now then what about 5-10 years later..

| Well, God is evil lol. The ED was awesome!! Really nice art. |
| Hahaha, Being-X is a dick to Tanya. :DDDD Poor guy/girl. She thought she will get easy life in capital, but nooo...some rapid-unit. :D |

But he really wants him to believe and he is affecting other people decisions, it's like a simple human vs. God. If he wants to kill him he could or he can simple accept that there would be some people that would believe in him and others that wouldn't. It's so unfair for Tanya and another thing is that he doesn't seem like someone wise. |
 |
| I like how when Tanya's blonde hair overlaps with her (his) blue eyes they appear green. I haven't seen that done before in anime. Good episode, and story so far. |
 |
| Miss the dog fight scenes.. those were bad ass. While the genre says military and magic.. someone ought to put comedy in there. Her monologue is a bit like Kon from Haruhi and Hachiman. Cracks me up when she thinks she's gonna get a better life. Ironic that she's quoting Murphy's Law coz she's living it. LOL I like this series. Think I'll start reading the manga soon. |
| Well, I don't know what to say except that Tayna is a badass and "God" is an asshole. Also I love how her being a girl isn't used for any ecchi level comedy. Just for frilly dress jokes. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Whoever said God had to be kind? Also, is every episode gonna end with Tanya getting a dress? beast_regards said: And was a huge jerk in previous life when he was a man. How? The only thing we ever saw him do in his previous life was fire a guy who barely did his job correctly and tried to weasel out of getting fired by using his family as an excuse. |

Protagonist overall approach to the matter should be an indicator as he didn't show any interest in justice (or rather truth, fired guy excuse can as well be a complete truth, no indicator on that), he doesn't act he fair boss, he generally acts like abusive person with too much power instead. Which is a sweet irony of the show as God (or being X if you want to call him this way) is also abusive jerk with too much power. |

Skipping work multiple times without permission, refusing to improve despite being ordered to do so repeatedly by his superiors and oh, get this; murdering the guy who fired him in broad daylight with thousands of witnesses. I dunno about you, but if I cared so much about my daughter's tuition and house loans, I would refrain from doing something that would put me in jail for years (or maybe life). The protagonist isn't a jerk with too much power, he's a guy trying to make the best of his life. The most "jerk" thing he's done is refusing to acknowledge God exists despite God showing himself to the protagonist multiple times and sending those two subordinates to the line of fire for disobeying orders and continuing to attack. |

The most "jerk" thing he's done is refusing to acknowledge God exists despite God showing himself to the protagonist multiple times and sending those two subordinates to the line of fire for disobeying orders and continuing to attack. We don't know anything about the guy that was laid off and what reasons he had. Albeit murdering the protagonist is bad, desperate people tend to actually do things like that as they obviously have nothing to lose at that point. Especially if you have a lot of loans you will never pay off and now they lost the job. And yes, taking so many loans you can't pay them off is sign of very poor "financial literacy", that's right. We know a plenty about the protagonist of the show and how ruthless he actually is, which is actually a reason why he got the job in the first place, his inner monologues reveal quite a lot of his personality. In a way though, everyone gets punished though. Unreasonable guy with too much loans gets fired from the job and will be certainly punished for murder, protagonist was punished for being an abusive jerk ... now I want to find out if God himself is exception from the whole karmic cycle. |

I am never getting tired of Tanya's shitty attitude, it's great. I'd love to know someone as hardcore as her lol. |

Bozzzz said: MysteriousBanana said: To be fair, in that sequence he does admit to having a twisted personality and numerous complexes, so he does express a bit of self awareness at being a bit of a jerk. That being said, I don't think sending those two soldiers off to die in the pillbox was entirely unjustified. Tanya disliked them because they didn't follow orders and were ruled by emotions rather than logic, but given that also describes the guy that murdered her in her past life, it's pretty understandable why she'd want to get rid of them. I think sending them to the pill box was just dumb. You don't waste mages like that, just send them on a suicide mission. I think this shows that Tanya is really stuck on following rules but ep3 shows that allthough she follows the rules, she tries to scheme into an easy life. He/she just seems weird. Follows the rules by the letter but not in spirit. I just can't place the thinking. Even in Japan, I don't think being that stickler for the rules isn't normal anymore (when he actually only cares for the rules as they set a framework where he knows what to do to move up). They weren't wasted. That pillbox was one of those that covered the retreat of the main army (that's why it was hit by an artillery shell. It was at the rear, but since as they said the frontline was moving backward, what doesn't move and is at the rear becomes the at the front sooner or later) and posting two mages here was useful since their firepower is quite bigger than normal soldier. There they couldn't endanger anyone by disobeying orders, two soldiers who are fine with obeying orders and got replaced by them were saved, they got the "win or die" condition they wanted since in that case obviously manned pillpox will retreat last and defend to the end to protect their allies. |

| So Tanya is forced into prayer whenever she uses her jewel, I was wondering what all that was about and I'm glad this episode explained it. God's a manipulative bastard, I like it. |
| Like this show but i can't stand mc's voice |

| Still cracks me up after 3 episodes! Grown man turns to baby girl, then dress up like a princess, then Being X prevents loli-ossan good life plans! Sucks to be him, HOLY SHIT GIRL! Forcing an atheist to a believer, already liking the series! ED art is my type <3!! |

| Another Amazing Episode The Opening And Ending Is Amazing Too :) |
 |
| Even though the 3rd episode was somewhat filler, it was still really interesting. The interaction between Tanya and the doctor was absolutely hilarious, and the way a 10 year old girls keeps taking like a mature adult just makes it even funnier. And while the God can be annoying, it's also making it interesting. Only character I don't care for that much is the Lt Col. Still, will see where this goes, and even with the filler, this is still easily the best of the season for me so far. |
 |
| A really good episode, being X surely cornered Tanya, kinda makes sense now to me why she prayed before firing to charged up her jewel on the first episode. The ED was good suits well with its visuals which is based on the LN art. |

Symphyon said: Also a question, but @Zefyris how is it so far at least adaptation wise? Considering for me this didn't actually felt rushed at all for 3 episodes, but I'm questioning at least how faithful the anime is with the source at least maybe how it was done? A bit more than halfway through the first volume IIRC? So 2 or 3 episodes remaining to finish it. It's skipping a tons of things, but that's things that had to be skipped in an anime anyway. YS anime isn't about being faithful to the source material anyway, it's all about keeping it entertaining in a visual format even if it means removing content. The strengths of the anime and LN are completely different here. |
|
| From what I've gathered in those 3 episodes, I can tell one thing: God(Being X) is an asshole. Other than that, I don't think Tanya will have break any time soon. |
| Love love love the opening. Pumps me up while running on the treadmill. That kamisama is one twisted SOB. Didn't think I would like this show as much as I do. I have a sweet spot for anti-heroes. In the beginning I thought that Tanya would just irritate me to no end, but I like how they are explaining and developing her character. Now I'm routing for her to kick everyone's ass! This show is seriously becoming quite the guilty pleasure for me :) mwaahahahahaha. |
| pretty good. enjoyed this episode a lot. The troll of 'being X' The whole testing scene was brilliant. And that final 'quick response' unit thing. Deus lo vult is everywhere. And the ending theme is pretty good. i like it. |
 |
| I must say between n the last ep and this one I feel dare I say internist. The art is interesting, refreshing to say the least and the choreography was entertaining. Not bad at all. |
| Why is god being such a bitch |
| Seriously this anime keeps on getting better and better. I am really enjoying it and Tanya is surely becoming one of my all time favorite anime characters. And that says alot considering that there wasnt any character that I have liked this much for years. |
| In a world where a God like that exists, who needs a Devil? I can completely understand why the higher being has taken such an uncanny interest in Salary Man/Tanya. She (or he?) doesn't even realise God isn't done yet... The crazy scientist is acutely amusing. |
| Tanya Degurechaff is Camus' Absurd Hero. She is the ideal that every man must try to become. |
| Mediocre OP and ED. As for the episode, it was definitely the most comprehensible one so far and the messes with that jewel suit were fun to watch. |
