| Started watching it because of Isekai Quartet, and dang, why did I ignore it before? It's great, I feel I'll like it. |
 |
| I'm only watching this because of Isekai Quartet. I haven't heard anything about this series and I don't know why. This series looks interesting. An isekai that looks actually decent. |
 |
| japan and their nazi obsession... this show is probably going to test my patience. |
| Seems like it already tested your shallow knowledge of History. Those uniforms and tactics are ww1 , not ww2. There's no nazi in ww1 at all. |
 |
| Germany before the Nazis with mage soldiers everywhere...and a supposedly evil loli soldier, this ought to be interesting to say the least! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Apperantly they start this In Medias Res. After reading volume one of the novel and pretty much a number of manga chapters, the anime start this in a rather weird way. They show Tanya and how she is competent but malicious towards any other people. Seeing others simply as a pawn towards her means. They haven't show how she reincarnated and how she got that medal yet |
 |
| Rewatching this as preparation for the Movie, and first impressions of the two instances are fairly alike iirc. Tanya’s Opness plus her strict code of conduct, a handful of that in this first episode and quite frankly it’s amazing! She literally just took out a whole Squadron by herself, jeez. Got to appreciate the details put behind the military get-up, a little haphazard on the magic part though but I’m sure we’ll see more of that later. Final moments with the two events coinciding followed by that smirk was dope, she sure is a Devil of sorts. Just a couple of months and already climbing the ranks, way to go Platoon Commander! Major spoilers for the following episodes down below so please keep away if you haven’t completed the season yet. |

I am sold. Very based show. |
| Weird eyes and only for females, wut, lol. Also, the cannons in the first scene didn't recoil after shooting. That's not how a cannon works, xD |
| bruh |
| What an adorable and original anime with beautiful visuals! :) I really enjoyed the first episode and I'm looking forward to seeing next eps. By the way, that trench warfare and charge from the beginning, not to forget about artillery support, were really well made and historically correct, at least from military history's point if view and of course until the moment in which mages actively joined the battlefield. ;p |
| OP crazy Loli taking us to the promised land bois |
 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. |
| Demonic loli ftw. |

| oooow love me a militaristic anime, especially ww1/2 era combat. This anime is already ticking off all the boxes, military combat, gruesome casualty of war, absolutely amazing SFX of artillery and gun shots. I mean all the rest like mages, magic, evil loli girl i guess is all a plus thanks to the world of anime. Got to say loving how we are brought into a (scarily) accurate world that resembles ours with almost identical land marks, and are also shown a scarily accurate world war to ones we've had. Also like how we probably going to get a lot of perspective from (what looks to be) the German resembling side, can't wait to watch more. Haven't been this hyped to watch a military style anime like this one since Gate lol |
 "yabe." |
| Tanya really is the devil |
| I'm only watching this because I wanna start Isekai Quartet and she's one of the characters. So this is like an alternative world in which Germany is the defender instead of the aggressor in WW1? Including flying loli mages of course, else it would be too "normal" for anime. First episode was quite epic though, even though the setting isn't really what I enjoy watching. |
| A middle aged normie reincarnates as a Mary Sue infant who got incredible wits and immeasurable superpowers. Yawn. Just look at all those edgy evil grimaces, it's so dumb it hurts. That last frame of Tanya's evil face made me burst in laugh. What a tryhard show. |
 |
| She's so cool~ as the title says, Tanya is indeed the evil. Although I wish she could be more evil than this... I like it when she "prays" first before killing the enemies lol. |
 |
| Well this was an abrupt start, abrupt in a way that will get you interested right from the get go. Also already liking Tanya's character. That devilish smug she had in the end though... |

I can't say I'm a fan of being tossed into a world I know nothing about, filled with people I know nothing about, doing things I don't know nothing about for reasons I don't know about and being expected to understand, remember, and care about all these details being tossed my way. Of course, I'm sure this is all much better when you re-watch it, knowing who everyone is with a better idea of what's going on.

That last frame of Tanya's evil face made me burst in laugh. What a tryhard show. I agree, it's all pretty silly, this is why I normally avoid watching isekai. I don't know why I decided to watch this honestly, but I'm going to stick with it for now. |
| I guess no one disrespects the lieutenant and gets away with it, that was cold :o |
 |
| I laughed at the "no room for negotiation" and "save us from the invaders" girl you are the invader, Germany is the one that attacked the other countries Seems like the Japanese mentality hasn’t changed since ww2 At least it isn’t as bad as when they try to portray Nazis as good people in animes bruh |

Mangolei said: This will be the first big test to see if the studio founded by one of Madhouse's ex co-founder and the staff that followed him into this project can make a name of themselves. Personally I look positively into this as Takuya Tsunoki was one of the pillars of old Madhouse and one of many personalities that breathed life into many series. So far this start has me quite optimistic about it. Okay agree Did you just copy paste one of the first comment from 2017.. are you a bot |

As the map shows, She was currently fighting near the Rhine, on the German side of it, as not-France were pushing them. The generals clearly talk about retreating the line during this episode as well, going further inside Germany. Also, just to be clear, there is not a single Nazi in this anime, this isn't the 3rd reich nor is it their WW2, it's their WW1. |

This war is literally happening starting in 1924 instead of 1914, the nordic countries are completely different from our world, and they've got MAGIC. How is the war going differently "rewriting history"? This doesn't make any sense... |

| That dude with glasses I'm sure I've seen that character design a million times already. Exciting start tho. Little girl is coldblooded as hell |
| Kinda, eh, The only props I can give last scene was kind of cool but didn't really land |
| Not bad. Some of the sound and animation is a bit hit or miss, but the concept is cool. The characters are kind of funny looking at times but I don't think it'll be too distracting. Overall, I liked it. |
| Man, I'm so hyped after watching this episode. I'm a sucker for alternate history, so I'm excited to see where this goes. Overall, I think this was a fun episode, though the character designs are throwing me into a loop because they do look a bit strange. |
