| that last scene dafuk xD |
She even bit her tongue at the end XD Literally dying |
| My nr1 anime this season :D Great story of becoming evil :D   |
| Well I thought this could be best anime of the season besides the continuations. Glad I was not wrong. |
iwsifakismag said: Now that it filled the missing information from the previous episode i think it is one of the best animes this season imo <3 (^_^) Yessss, we guessed this one! :D  |
| there are actually clear premise, setting, plot and character in this episode what kind of idiot decided to air that mindless battle nazi episode 1 as episode 1? I'll just wait for receptions after ending since this is from unfinished shitty medium called light novel |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| The premise is nothing short of ridiculous, but the show itself is really well-paced, the SFX is pretty damn good, and most importantly: it's just hell of a fun to watch. I can stomach quite a bit of inane hodgepodge if it provides quality entertainment, and so far I've been really enjoying the ride. |

| Next Time DEUS VULT  |
 |
| Omg, the beginning of this was just hilarious. The dude just calming discussing with a being who called themselves god. And then the instructor scene and the "suicidal" attack LOL I love this series already. |
 |
| Assuming this was Death Parade and that guy pushed to hard and fell on the train lines as well. What do you thing Decim would decide? Who would get reincarnated and who would be sent to oblivion? Who was more moral the guy who did his job or the guy that slaked of and committed murder. |
| I already loved Tanya's character but the salaryman is great as well. Even when he was about to die and this god appeared he still had total confidence in his reasoning and his beliefs. Air magic fights are awesome I laughed when she considered contacting a child protection agency xD The face she was making before the cameraman started filming gave me the creeps xD |
 |
| That god really is an asshole. I hope, that the dick, who pushed the MC was/will be punished by god too. Overall the episode was quite good, with showing Tanya's background and nice combat action. It's not as explicit as the manga, but that was to be expected. The enemy soldiers were total morons. They crossed the border and weren't ready for actual combat. Well, they got what was coming to them. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Here we have the Entente Alliance / Federation (as sky had translated it first), who clearly have equipment based on more colder climates, with the mages in fur coast and on SKIS. They might have more stability when moving like... skiers do, but that's about all the benefits that offers. Then we previously had the Republic with their 'metal horses', who seem to offer better stability when stationary and firing, but on the other hand most likely has very poor sharp turns and absolutely no loops. Then we have the Empire as demonstrated by Tanya. They could be likened to having a jet thruster attached to one leg. It offers very good mobility as Tanya shows, but it probably requires more practice than the others, and might not necessarily be that steady when stationary. So, 3 totally different ideas for 3 different nations with somewhat different climates (some similarities, but not all), none of them perfect, all of them with good and bad points. |

| Best anime in this season in my opinion. It is much better than the overrated Ao no Exorcist (I like Exorcist but Youjo Senki is more entertaining to watch) |
| Another great episode, one of the best this season. It's kind of strange to be reborn in another universe where 'magic' exists. |
 |
| ...the fuck were those first 5 or so minutes? I mean I get how it related to this anime, and it was interesting if bizarre, but it felt so out-of place. It would've been less jarring if it were in the first episode, but not the very first scene, idk. That self-destruct move was awesome though. |
| Oh, kinda weird that the first episode wasn't used for the prologue instead. It was pretty good in my opinion. Tanya really looked like a scary doll at the end though, lol. |
  |
| Wow what a story that was. Definitely didn't expect anything like that. Also that power she has at just 9 years old, I can't even begin to imagine what kind of monster Tanya will turn out to be in later years if they are shown. That last part was funny. |

| Very interesting episode I feel bad for that poor guy xD Btw nice Overlord ad :D This is getting even more interesting, can't wait for next episode. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
Literally the best part of this episode alongside that glorious MYTH & ROID song XD |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Still not sold on this but at least it was mildly entertaining this time around. So far it's just coming off as another edgelord centric series but here's to hoping it gets better. That glorious song though. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Lol we know her/or is it his story now. Reminds me of Re:Monster. |
Rook81 said: Adviel said: Having a cold open *can* work right, but they undermined the integrity of their own narrative. Here's how:Some people are saying that this should have been the first episode. I disagree having a cold opening that leaves you wanting more is better then having the story start with a flash back. The firs episode introduced us to the world and an unusual character at odds with her appearance, wile the second episode gives us the backstory and an explanation of her personality. Also why did so many people spoil the reveal last week. I thought this was supposed to be an anime only forum. Ep.2; introduces the main conflict of Tanya vs. Being X; faith vs. faithlessness. Shows what's possiblly a proxy for Being X making magic trinket. Ep.1; Shows Tanya invoking the name of God in her incantations, using magic trinket. This is NOT how good storytelling works. It's out of order. Mystery gone. No tension, no buildup, we already got the payoff. Doing this was incredibly dumb and bad. Also, it wouldn't have been a flashback if ep 2 came first. It would have been showing events in order, as they happen. What we have is a flash FORWARD, then return to normal timeline. Or everything after ep1 is a flashback? Horray for muddying up timelines! Either way, I'm still in. The convo with Being X sold it. Id advise reading that post again and writing something relevant but taking the capability into consideration e.g. 'I would like to see the 2 eps in reverse order' |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| So its a dude in a loli body.... ....is it considered a trap now? or... |
 |
| Thought I was watching the wrong anime at first lol. I can't help but chuckle at the fact that out of every form the salaryman could have taken upon reincarnation, it just has to be the form of a loli. Anyway, it was nice getting some background info on Tanya in this episode. Also, the ending was funny, you could tell Tanya wanted to die at that moment. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| And here is the needed backstory for our little fairy monster. Unfortunately ended up picking a fight with "Being X". Loved that they put the little side story at the end. You can just tell he is killing herself in the inside being subjected to that. |
| So... here's a huge question! Is that loli an actual trap? A grown man's "mind" inside a loli body. |
  |
| well that was quite interesting... I am so loving thi enemy tanya looks so badass and so fun to watch.... |
 |
MysteriousBanana said: Preach my friend, preachRook81 said: Better? I couldn't quite follow what you meant, so edited the best I could. I'd like to see ep2 be ep1, but ep1 belongs waaaay down the line. They put the end at the beginning. You're assuming the events of episode one is the "payoff", thus ruining all the buildup of the subsequent episodes, but it isn't, thus it really doesn't; chronologically the events of episode 1 takes place immediately after the events that will be shown in episode 3, there's a ton of material afterwards that hasn't even been touched yet. |
| This would've been a much better starter episode. Although I can see why this was used as an ep 2 rather than 1. |
| Looks like the Salaryman reincarnated to a little girl in the past. hmm Interesting. |

Existence X likes to mess with him that's why a loli. If i remember well he despises frivolousness and he considered many women frivolous. I'm not looking over the novel again but that's what i remember. RediceRyan said: Another great episode, one of the best this season. It's kind of strange to be reborn in another universe where 'magic' exists. He was reincarnated in a world with magic because he says that they don't need faith because they have science and you can explain all with it, magic or supernatural doesn't exist. Then existence X says that he will send him a magic world too. I don't know if it is said in this episode. That's not the exact wording, but you understand i suppose :P . |
| So Tanya is twisted. She believes that you should only be logical and follow the rules no matter what as that will ensure your survival and success in life. Those who don't follow the rules don't deserve to live, which was also seen in the first episode with how she had those soldiers killed. He doesn't have the slightest bit of empathy or sympathy or whatever and thanks to that, a person he fired pushed him in front of the train. And the god he refuses to believe in gives him his final chance to become a believer, albeit with tons of handicaps. An orphan in a messed up war torn world with magic and a butt ugly face to boot lol. Tanya wanted to live a relatively less hectic life not on the front lines, but she unfortunately survived and didn't die heroically lol. Tanya trying to act cute looked super creepy instead of cute partly because you know that there's a monster hidden behind that cutesy smile. Everyone was thinking the same thing about her "she's as young as my imouto/daughter." And this young girl ends up kicking their ass lol. She was going to show those soldiers hell and they underestimated her lol. I liked this episode. The previous episode showed how tanya looks in action and this episode showed how she ended up like that. I think this worked well this way. Really like this crazy loli. The animation during the fight was cool. Liked those explosions. And that Overlord advertisement. |
| The first episode did not really hook me but this episode was amazing. I was really not expecting this kind of story. |
 |
brilliant Wit... |
 |
| Hahaha! I love this ep. Backstory and Tanya's pov is awesome. Learnt a bit of his personality and motivation. I really dont want to see that orange haired girl again... but oh well. |
| This was so much better than the first episode!\Excited to see more |
| i knew she was just like cagliostro so this episode made it so much clearer, i'm enjoying it still just for seeing how crazy Tanya get's that Gotcha! scene was great was pumped to hear more Myth& Roid |
