Youjo Senki: Sabaku no Pasta Daisakusen

I don't think people understand what actually this OVA meant

Basically, want they want to show us (in my perspective of course) is that season two is going to be better at all aspects they worked on

You can hear new sound effects for shooting, flying etc.
Characters now have new face expressions (like Serebryakov when planning the attack);
Improved animation on some aspects like shooting, aiming, explosions and more;

THIS is exactly what I wanted, you may not know but, (in my limited knowledge) seems like studio nuts is a recent studio founded in 2017 that had its first anime adaptation be Youjo senki, so after that, they did ... a FCLC something that I didn't watch, deca dence that I did, and now YS season 2

They are learning throughout the years of experience they have acquired and banged us with this thrilling new OVA showing some improvements

I think this is awesome since I really fell in love in this anime's adaptation, I honestly tried reading the manga (I'm not a manga guy anyway) but barely managed to do so, in my POV this extra was a huge success at showing us what season two is going to look like

I say all of this based on the fact that I have just re-watched YS season 1 and the movie in the last 2 days, so I really mean the improvements I saw and am commenting about

These imbeciles actually use knives when eating penne al sugo. The Imperial Army always finds new ways to terrify me.


MAL insists on having me write a longer review, so I'll express more of my comments, but really this anime is just a joke used to bring back Tanya and show some good animations of the 203rd Magic Batallion flying in the desert. Story is really poor apart from the nice joke about them fighting for a good meal, but we're always glad to hear Tanya's speeches and technically the work is good.
They actually know how pasta should be cooked and, as an Italian, I really ... appreciated it. But they use those knives...

Hungry? How about some pasta.

This is an OVA where Tanya is shipped way too many boxes of pasta in the desert and needs to find a way to make it edible for her men. It's entertaining enough and fans of Tanya the Evil will likely find enjoyment in it. I personally found it a little boring but not bad by any means. Everyone is back and has at least a single line. Serebryakov has a moment to shine though I've never particularly cared for her character. The performance for Tanya isn't as good as usual, likely because this is just a 15 minute OVA. I ... only watched it to clear the series off of my Crunchyroll watch list. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody unless they absolutely love the original series or want to get an idea of it without the commitment.
