| Tanya's ability to find loopholes in war regulations is entertaining. I have a feeling that Grantz will get a massive earful from her. She will also likely have a showdown with the dad who's now empowered by Being X. I like this new ending more than first. |

| A pretty good tale of a descent into pure evil. |
| Cool that guy is still alive. It seems that he will get some sort of powers from God. Next episodes are going to be badass |
 |
| That looks like the fountain from Stalingrad? Hmmm... She wrote a paper about it, how convenient. He managed surviving being stabbed through the gut so what's a little hypothermia, God's miracle again! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Damn, they really want to exterminate whole city. It reminds me of the case of Warsaw Uprising from 1944. It was World War II, although this anime mixes a lot of concepts of warfare and only gives world War I themes a major role. By the way, why Tanya's eyes changed their colour from blue to green? Was it because of strong lights from her gear or is it because of magic, like transition from blue to yellow eyes after praying to God? Oh, and Mary's father is alive! :D |
| They are doing nothing wrong, they are just following orders. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| That fucker is still alive. Loved this episode |

| damn that was a really strong episode. Was waiting to see an episode on how Tanya responded to Milita/rebels and they really did a great job at highlighting the casualties of civilians in war due to the cross fire they could get in, more importantly they did a good job at highlighting both view points on it as well. In general terms, killing of civilians is obviously wrong. Killing the innocent or their friends and family, who never chose to be any part of the war is quite literally horrible but due to circumstances it's almost 100% unavoidable and due to this, it is probably one of the grimmest factors of war. I'm not surprised even the elitist (especially Tanya's company) of soldiers would of snapped after seeing what they had contributed to. However looking at it from Tanya's (or empires) pov, a city wide alert warning people that if they stayed in the city they would be branded as an enemy was given to everyone in the area and by choosing to ignore the warning they pretty much signed their own death certificate. Also like Tanya said, i bet the ratio of people rebelling against the Empire compared to moving one is gonna way higher. I mean can you really blame someone for suddenly joining the fight after they saw their, home, friends, family get completely obliterated right in front of them? Makes sense Tanya would just take them out beforehand instead of waiting to see who would, but by then i guess it would already be too late. Either way episode was pretty grim but i think most military-styled anime's should definitely highlight on civilian casualties especially since we've had 2 quite brutal world wars ourselves. |

| This new ending doesn't at all fit the show's tone, it's weird. It almost paints Tanya as some kind of tragic hero and well, we all know that's not what she is. Now this episode surprised me, because for once, I actually have been able to feel the tension, to comprehend how awful the war is, and to see how evil Tanya is. Until now everything felt way too superficial, but here I was actually stressed for the characters and Tanya felt truly threatening, which is something I've been wishing to see since the beginning because well, it's supposed to be "The saga of Tanya the Evil", not "The saga of Tanya the crazy weirdo who's evil but who cares she's the only entertaining element in this show". It's actually interesting to see how the show seems to finally take her seriously, we haven't gotten a single funny scene with her in this episode and that feels refreshing. It's also interesting to see how she's gradually destroying her facade, and now it seems like people will actually fight against her, at least I hope they will because seeing her just do whatever she wants and get away with everything is really annoying because of being way too predictable. Now Being X apparently decided for this guy at the end to fight against Tanya ? Has he given up on her ? That's intriguing. And that reminds me of the girl from last episode. Considering that she apparently will play a role in the future I bet she's gonna try to avenge her father. And one last thing, I wonder what happened with the guy who broke down. Who did he shoot ? Tanya ? The crowd ? Himself ? Oh and something I forgot to mention, is that I like how Tanya's using the excuse of "following orders" to destroy everything. Because yes, she is following orders, they all are, and their choice is understandable, but while the soldiers still have some compassion for the citizens, it isn't her case. She doesn't care about the casualties among civilians as long as the result is positive for her. Edit : I just realized, the guy who woke up at the end is the girl's father ?! Now I'm really intrigued. |

| That definitely was a hard mission on her company, they had to kill civilians. Also that one old dude is still alive and it seems X powered him up quite a bit. Maybe a worthy opponent after all? |
| Another dark episode indeed! This one puts forth the question of civilians in wartime who offer up deadly resistance. I felt a tug of my memory for the My Lai massacre in the Vietnam conflict. The anime seems to have progressed from a cute but maniacal girl with a gun to a ice cold soldier. |
 |
| Even civilians got mixed up, that's a bit unfair really. But still no place for those feelings of compassion, that's the incredible sense of duty Tanya has. Also Mary's father got his consciousness back, and it seems to be the play of being X. |
| Obvious reference to the "Republic" of Poland, and the Warsaw Uprising. As a Polish person, this episode hit extra hard, but I'm glad this show doesn't glorify genocide. |

| Serebryakova sure is cute. Is she called Visha? Her eating to her heart's content was really cute. I can safely call this "War Crimes: The Anime" now. |
 |
| His faith in god revived him from the dead and he's powerful than before. Goddammit just die already. |
 |
| Finally, an anime with a realistic depiction of war. There are no real heroes or villains on the battlefield; just two sides both believing they are in the right, or knowing that they are in the wrong, but forcing themselves to go through with the fighting, anyway. |
| "Destroy that devil", ha? Will Tanya finally face a robust antagonist? She said it was "Orders from superiors" but she did not mention she was the one who told them how to make war crimes quasi-legitimate. All so that the war can end sooner and she gets a cushy office job at command... She is truly rotten to the core - or, from another POV, she is a survivor. An amoral survivor at all costs... |

| noooooooooo new ed :( its not a surprise anymore but she sure is a menace. |
