MysteriousBanana said: Half were forced to retreat from the operation due to injuries, but no actual deaths. The only one she actually "lost" was struck down by potato poisoning. Oh wow, I thought the people that got exploded and fell died. |
| The best ending is back ;) |
 |
| top 10 plot twists of 2017 lmao |
| Not much to say about this episode, was kind of hoping Tanya would get caught and try to find a way out of their base. Maybe she will run into the father who has gained magical powers and a huge fight will break out. We will know soon |
“You choose to be hurt rather than to hurt others, right?  You’re nice and wonderful. But while it seems like you are choosing both, you’re really forsaking both.” |
| That rotten fucking potato deserves to die!!! |
 |
| OH NOOOO, DOCTOR SCHUGEL IS BACK! :DDD Rocket ride for the win! Rotten potato is the real killer ;D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Wow, Tanya lost 75% of her battalion this episode. Not sure how many of the remaining will survive to the finale. |
 |
| "Until I pound free-market principles into that piece of shit, I won't die, no matter what!" May Tanya turn God into an anarcho-capitalist. |
 |
| Viktoriya is the ultimate soldier, completely unfazed by even the dire situation at hand. I wasn't expecting a V-1 to appear, though in a different manner than originally designed. Still, it is a rather novel means of transportation. The next episode ought to be epic! A rotten potato... |
It would be amazing if someone could redo the rottentomatoes banner into a rotten potato one. |
| omg so it was a food poisonin joke.. Tayanen... that "war injury medal" is crying~ |
 |
I lost at the potato part |
| Does anyone know who does the voice of Doctor Schugel? And is it the same person who did the voice for Dantalion from Shakugan no Shana? |

Nice! I thought I recognized that voice, and that dude reminded me of someone. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
| Tanya had a hard time during the battle this time and the crazy scientist likes using her to test stuff |
 |
| Great plan, wish them luck ;) That engineer is always creating something, that guy is definitely a Nobel prize winner xD 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." |
| v1... it really reminds me of Ra2 now next episode is like the movie behind enemy line... that last scene doe... losing a member due to potato... hahahaha |
 |
darklord213 said: That's hardly a fact pal.joe_g7 said: light novel characters are always invincible and overpowredWith the doctor's appearance I thought we'd also see Being X blessing the new vehicle or something... If Tanya succeeds in this mission, which I believe she will, she should be given a medal. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Im curious how much switching and changing really has gone on LN to Anime - I mean so i wonder if these changes more or less preclude an S2 ? Or Maybe an anime oriented s2 I am unsure |

| After the battle at Arene though i doubt that Tanya's hands will be clean. Hmm so Tanya's main competition from back then is now a major in the railway division eh. I thought that he would have retired to be with his family. Hmm drawing your lines back in order to lure the enemy in to destroy them eh. That does sound like a viable tactic actually. Interesting that Tanya would know of those two historical examples of such uses of this tactic though. The key for such a plan though will be the bait and to keep the enemy's attention fixed on you as well. With Tanya's unit being so well known and infamous now the enemies attention will be drawn to them. Given the scale of the Arene disturbance its no surprise that the empires railway networks would have been damaged by it. Thus preventing them from supplying the front effectively. Plus the allied nations despite being neutral are also a threat as well. Now Tanya's idea of a world war has come into reality eh. Hmm so the tactic that they want to use is attrition warfare eh. Kill more of the enemy and enough of them to force them to go for peace while minimizing your own. I like the parallel between the ww1 battle of Verdun here. The first step as suspected by Tanya is the large scale withdrawal of their front line forces to lure the enemy in. The front lines is as hectic as ever eh and Tanya's battalion is in the thick of it as always. WW1 was a war fought in trenches with artillery and Machine guns and even with mages. It looks like this battle is proving to be harder for them though since their losses so far have been pretty heavy. Hmm the republican defense lines sure are strong and well equipped as well. Plus they have enemy mages to deal with as well. Man this mission sure is hard work. Hmm despite suffering such losses Tanya is still able to remain objective and still follow the plan eh. Withdrawing too early though would cause the enemy to find out their true plan so that is a worry. But staying here will incur more losses for them as well. Decisions Decisions eh. No mans land here is as ghastly as it is in the real world eh. Operation Fog and Sun eh. A pretty apt name for the false retreat actually. Even Victoria was wounded in that heavy battle eh. But its nice to see that even at this time her spirits remain high and that she remains positive. Hmm so in that moment when that officer was going to shoot Tanya before being clubbed to the ground Tanya acted to protect him from responsibility eh. Despite being hit by that much MG fire it's good to see that she managed to withstand that. Misinformation eh. Well Propaganda is one of the things that we would expect to see in a war of this scale. It has its own role on the field as well. Its nice that Tanya is able to see whats really going on though. So the next part of the plan is a decap strike on the enemy HQ eh. It does make sense on a strategic side though. Risky though and not as easy as it should be. Lol the scientist always picks the right time to pop out eh. Tanya's reaction though was funny though. And i guess he's still a fervent supporter of God as well eh. Hmm interesting. The V1's in the real world existed in WW2 and were early cruise missiles but in this they were re purposed to be ultra fast transport rockets eh. Smart to redesign them to this form actually. Hmm despite being so impressive the fact that these boosters have no form of control means that they are pretty dangerous as well. Guess this guy didn't think of any safeguards that should be installed on such a piece of equipment though. Lol The scientist really is a natural disaster. Hmm so the empires plan did work eh. Im surprised that Grantz did not leave the unit after Arene though. Arene was a tough fight though. Lol Victoria can really sleep anywhere eh. Hmm luring the enemy within range of explosives while Tanya's unit attacks the enemy HQ eh. This plan of theirs is pretty ambitious though so its no wonder that the generals are nervous. The scene where they launched Tanya and her men though was well done. Jeeze a surprise attack by mages using prototype booster rockets to penetrate the enemy lines to attack the enemy HQ. A bold plan indeed. You were supposed to climb the ranks in the rear but being x had other ideas lol. The last part of the episode where Tanya used her child voice for her thoughts was funny. |

| How people said before, nice and tense episode, grand building for another episode. Is it going to work? Or everything is going to F up? We know Being X got some schemes doing with enemy of fatherland to force Tanya to bend the knee. Mad scientist, V1s, everything is going to be 50/50. We even got both endings (or ending songs rather) so you know things going to get real. ... That post ending scene thou... rofl. |

| it feels kinda weird seeing lieutenant serebryakov and grantz(?)'s adorable scene next to a dying fellow soldier, but to think that it was a rotten potato all along, i lost my shit lmao.. damn you teyanen also that mad scientist must be tanya's natural enemy second to being X lol |
| Looks like there is someone who Tayna fears. THE MAD SCIENTIST! I wasn't expecting the V1 entry to go so smoothly... I thought for sure they were going to lose one. But its been a while since Being X made an appearance, so I can guess hes gonna pop up soon! |

| Defeated by potato, that's one way to get out of the fight. Farabeuf said: Only thing that's fresh is the the really dark atmosphere and pessimistic sociopath of a lead character. Military otaku fantasy series are very common, but this extra-gritty style is less common.It's a unique blend of military otakuism, war drama and fantasy with a dose of comedy sprinkled in for good measure. Farabeuf said: That's why you laugh first. They take their jobs seriously.I cannot help but thinking that Tanya's seeiyu must have had a blast doing this role. It must have been hard not to burst out laughing with some of those lines she delivers. |

| So many losses for Tanya, and I suspect Being X shall have something up its sleeve. |
 |
| Dam really hope its a success |
| Nice buildup. I eagerly await the battle. Wheee! Rocket ride! |
  |
| Nice ep. Would love to see that fight scene a bit more. It were a bit too rushed. But I think it was only a buildup to a bigger fight. LOL, mad scientist is back in the game with his new inventions. xD Now with a Rocket to ride it. LOL. I guess the ride was successful for her. I wonder if it were the same for the others in the group. LOL, the potato scene. I didn't get it before I read comments here and thought about it. hahah, nice joke. So I guess this confirm her atheism is still in tact and that Being X (God) will maybe bring justice upon her in the next ep. wit that dude he gave power. ^^ |
 |
| Another very impressive episode, especially that ending was intense as hell! Really looking forward for the next episode. |
 |
| The mad scientist returns |

| Can someone explain to me what Tanya's letter meant at the end? I'm confused :/ what's going on? |
| Viktoriya is so accustomed with fighting alongside Tanya that war-deciding battles is a good reason to take a nap and eat a lot xD Her and Grantz had quite the adorable scene right there with a soldier screaming in the background lmao No one in the Battalion dying and just ending up injured was a surprise for me. This episode was focused on the relatively calm before the storm so I'm excited for the next one. The mad scientist returned with a jumpscare as zealous as ever and managed to successfully make mass-produced mage-oriented rockets~ It was also nice to see the guy back at the University as a Major. Kokoro_Inuzuka said: Can someone explain to me what Tanya's letter meant at the end? I'm confused :/ what's going on? If it haven't got answered lemme have 'em zura~ She narrated the contents of the it while she wrote it. It was a letter she's going to send to Warrant Officer Teyanen's parents because the Empire is going to send him home due to injuries caused by food poisoning. He was the dude who was screaming in agony at the barracks when Viktoriya and Grantz were having an adorable conversation with. What made it funny was that despite having bandages all over his head and seemingly gruesome injuries, the main reason of his discharge and the only problem with him was eating a rotten potato lol I can't wait for Tanya to shove capitalism down Being X's throat xD |
 |
| Lmao had the shock of my life when the doctor burst into the room |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Lol something unexpected you say? Boom, the doctor appeared! But damn, to think that the guy was hurting about the rotten potatoes when he said "my stomach!" lol. I thought it was odd for Viktoriya and the blonde to laugh at their friend's dying moment or something. |
 |
| I predict that the plan won't go smoothly. Maybe when they attack they'll find out the soldiers from Entente Alliance were there holding up and guarding the place waiting for them to come or something. |
 |
| Great build up episode, got me a bit hyped for what's to come. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| with this many episodes left the plan is bound to go wrong |

| Really cool how the V-1 rockets here look and function like their real-life counterpart... minus the mages riding on them, of course. There's bound to be issues with the plan, likely caused by Being X. |
 |
| Hands probably pure as a driven snow? Where did she get that idea? She may be smart but she's blind AF! Mage rocketmen! Oh wait, supersonic HALO drop, substituting High Altitude with High Acceleration. XD I thought Teyanen was dying in the foreground, it turns out he was downed by something he ate, a rotten potato, and it was so bad, he had to be discharged from service with decorations. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| LOL they really were inside those rockets. ;D I'm curious how this Operation will end up like, although I doubt it will end the war. |
| FK being x and show them who is boss tanya! Damn it was badass to see them launched like that. |
