| Pretty damn lovely movie of this franchise, I really hope we get another sequel after this! |
 |
| I might be wrong (I hope I am), but the way it ended I don't think it will be getting a sequel. It ended as if: The empire fell at one point (as they showed at the beginning of the movie), but until there The Saga of Tanya The Evil continues. Exactly the way you already know. The girl's revenge is one of the mains matters of this movie, though it's kind of disappointing that it ended without a proper conclusion (or that she failed)? She managed to at least get her father's rifle? I don't remember it happening nor talking about it (I just have checked it out and they dont touched in the matter). Anyway, 8/10 |

| Better be a season 2. |
 |
| As a Russian I must say author knows us very well Broken phone situation, to earn promotion probably, lying about how bad things are, from "fuck we are getting slaughtered here where is artillery support" to "our soldiers advance without any trouble" - thats exactly how fucked in head our nation are. It was a pleasure seeing Tanya bullying commiescum. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
| Main antagonists are commies and "palladin" on revenge crusade. Great! You just want to see their asses kicked! But it`s a shame she was saved before Tanya could blow her brains out... That devout follower of wicked, corrupt "god" is trouble. |
| Ok, ok, ok... that was kinda impressive movie, even though I was like, let's watch a bit of magic world war battle movie with kinda cheap design and animation, and I get just what I expected, but second half really start pulling my strings. Singing hymns and movie a flags at enemies capital, absolutely legendary from military point, action was impressive, even though there was more of magic skirmishes and the ground battle was like... fully re-skinned 1st season material, the ending really got me hyped. But revenge plot was actually well played, even though I would feel better if Tanya finished her off. At that moment, I was like, is it anime or something in me is wrong, watching two little girls trying to kill themselves. I wish I would see scene like this in Overlord, Ainz getting beaten to pulp. Anyway... Los' Los' Los' played at right moment and hype you for more material, then even more hyped by making Tanya commander of Kampfgruppe. Oh boi. I want to see that. Lelouch0202 said: Action sequences were fantastic as expected, the pink beams of Mary's were especially great. Sound direction and explosive effects were top notch. Kinda interesting they had a character called Mary Sue as well. XD OMG, I didn't even notice, she really was called Mary Sue... love it. |

| Good movie. On par with the tv series. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I loved the movie, but I really disliked this whole OP god power. It doesn't go well with Tanya showig off intellect and cunning. Story should keep to startegies and tactics, not willpower or magic. I'm also a bit disappointed with what we learned in the first few minutes - that Empire falls in the end. We don't know when, but considering 40 years later it's already over, that means Tanya will either see it or if she dies before, it will be early death. Unless there is some twist about her actually wanting that result for peaceful life lol. |
| It is pretty funny |
 |
| Subarashi.!! next is season 2. |
 |
| Seeing Moscow burned is always nice sight. |
| "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." |
| Two much cliche anti-Soviet propaganda for someone from Easter Europe like me. Though, besides it the movie was great. Good action and a lot of craziness this title is liked for. I really hope we'll get more in the future. |
 |
| it bothered me that tanya barely used her 'god miracle power' throughout the movie even during the fight against mary who was in that state she still didn't use it except for the beamblast. and mary alive is just... meh |
| I already hate Mary, she truly fits her name. Self-righteous, stupid, hypocritical, arrogant, selfish, ignorant, idealistic, and just plain annoying. What kind of fucking moron doesn't realize people die in war and shit ain't personal and it ain't murder. As if some bullshit crying after all that crap is going to garner any sympathy. And the fact that she lives is absolute bullshit. That was 6 through and through shots all to the chest, lungs, and sternum. She'd have been dead before she hit the floor or from blood loss long before she got to any medic. I'm no military man, and I know fuck all, but I'm pretty sure in any army, then or now, the shit she pulled would have resulted in a court martial for insubordination, among other things. Truly a Mary Sue with plot armor to match. _____ Clearly the author isn't a fan of communism and knows why he feels that way. Can't blame him, covered the gulags, jailing of political opponents, insanely unreasonable punishments, and wasting of human life all in an hour and a half. |
 |
| very cool is liek condensed season2 lol |
| Damn that was good. I did sort of feel sorry for Mary though. |
| Great movie ~! We need a season 2 ASAP! Mary is savage |
 |
| Tanya never catches a break, even when she has things figure it out at the end, those high ranks just had to bring her and her battalion back to the battle field! But that was an intense and really gruesome battle between Tanya and Mary. It was cold and lacked any honor amongst the fighters, shooting, breaking bones, endless punches and more shooting. Really enjoyed it, the animation was top notch along with the action scenes. Action never rested since from their desert expedition to the final battle. Great movie! 9/10 |

| A marvelous movie, as expected of youjo senki. The fights and battle plans were as spectacular as always. Also RIP Tanya's plan backfired on her. |
 |
| Was a pretty fun AND funny movie. The comedy was constantly good (them singing their hymn was the best thing xD) and there was always something happening. I just didn't like Mary's character, at all. Which is a problem because she is the main antagonist of the story. Also they got kinda greedy with those tracking shots following Tanya and Mary in the final fight, just need to compare them to, for example, any Shingeki no Kyojin's tracking shots to see how clunky the ones in this film are. Overall I feel the same about this movie as I do about the show. The production value was kinda disappointing overall unfortunately. |

Fotamon said: Same here, I wasn't ever going to buy the first season because I thought it was sub par at best but then I went and saw the film in theaters last May an it opened my eyes to a great series. I hope a season 2 gets announced soon, hurry up Studio NUT!PLEASE LET THERE BE A SEQUEL! Anyways, I'm buying S1 + the movie on BluRay to try financially support the studio (even if localized) and probably the manga once I've got the cash spare. I really love this franchise and hope to see more of it adapted. |
 |
| The first 20 minutes were so-so, then it got fucking EPIC I’m so mad that Mary didn’t die. FUUUUU- I DIDN’T WANT THIS TO END UGGGHHH |
| Amazing movie. I loved it from start to finish I hope we get 2nd season or at least another movie |

| The biggest mistake of people is to decide emotionally and ruin their life. I thought if there is No X/God no world right? how does it end? |
| lettuce<3 |
| alright pass time, duel fight was silly though |
| I kinda like Mary Sue to kinda win against Tanya...oh well... very nice movie! i wanna S2! ED by MYTH & ROID was awesome!!! 5/5. 8/10. |
 |
| I was expecting more, specially because of the praise this is getting, but it was just a little better then the main show. Animation quality was better, but extremelly inferior to what a movie should be. The best part of the animation was the Sakuga were the animators were drastically trying to make a scene with SNK style and quality, but the framerate was so slow it was kind of annoying. The story again is 80% WW1/WW2 military strategy talk, which after some time, it gets boring. The whole reason why this movie didn't really get too much boring was because of Mary vs. Tanya moments. I don't see the plot of Youjo Senki going to far and still being interesting. I didn't read the main material, but I do hope S2 will be the final season (of course, if S2 actually get made) |
 |
| Utterly impressed with what Studio Nut was able to with this movie!! Storywise , I think the series itself was better, but the animation in the movie exceeded my expectations . Definitely worth the wait. Hopefully Nut has more projects in the future they deserve it ..... As far as the movie goes, Tanya finally gets her rear job, but only for a mere two months LOL, That entire ending segment was hilarious, I only wish there was another showdown between her and Being X. Fingers crossed we might get more Tanya in the future, but if it ends like this, I’m content . Still one of the best war anime there is! |
| Damn, just got back after rewatching this movie (watched it twice in about a week or so now) and this was some incredible ride once again! Mad props to Studio Nut for some glorious action scenes and overall animation, first and foremost! Unlike many, I felt like the animation quality for the tv series was pretty good but this was something else entirely. And of course the Sound Department was on top too, especially love that main theme! Every scene just becomes so much more badass and cool with just that, super stuff! Even that hilarious final bit was enhanced by that, Tanya falls for the Colonel’s trap yet again meanwhile xD and I, for one, loved that buildup with the swoosh in from sky and the exaggerated sweat splattering from Tanya's shock. Mary Sue was a very poor antagonist no doubt but it was awesome to see that clincher between Tanya and her, and thanks to Studio Nut once again for absolutely perfecting that! Tanya’s “Animal. I don’t have time for your shit!” to end the fight was bloody badass too, way to go Tanya! Questionable how she survived that final barrage of gunshots though (and a few more tidbits here and there)... Anyway, (fictional) Russia getting ridiculed like that stunned me on my first watch for a bit but I just couldn't help but get hyped this time around. Of course they wouldn't like that and would put more into offence as one of the higher-ups pointed out, I wonder if this thought didn't cross Tanya's mind initially. Welp, good thing for Tanya and the Empire that the opponents turned back on each other somewhere along the line. Certainly a close call, phew. Really liked how accurate the Federation is to Russia (in WW1/WW2) in terms of lack of defence plus those made-up convenient lies though, although I've a feeling they kind of exaggerated that here. Tanya's reasoning to getting a rear job instead was brilliantly handled with the foreshadowing of the Empire's destruction in the background. Kind of felt like the perfect way to pick up on that note from that future Doctor's interview. I'm guessing the Empire's failures will start to follow up gradually next in order, and I'd honestly love to see that! But I'm content with what we have so far nonetheless. But again, I want to see more of Tanya so I want more after all! I'll give this a solid 8.50/10, similar to Season 1's rating (8.40/10)! Expecting some sort of a continuation in the near future! Fact that Kadokawa Animation was behind this gives me hope that this series is hotcake and they want to make more profit from it for now... Edit: Been about an hour of that ED song, "Remembrance", on replay button! Absolutely loving the theme song! MYTH & ROID, God Bless You! |

| this was so good!!! i love this character and story, i hope being X gives us more, a lot more. |
| Just loved it, especially the after-credits scene which makes everything even more epic ! I don't know how long we'll have to wait for another movie or season, but I have no doubt this will be powerful and explosive (as it was already with only an air-combat unit, now we here with tanks, regular soldiers, etc). Only 2 points disappointed / annoyed me. Tanya answered the weird rule of "I ain't gonna shoot you in the head, instead I'd rather give you more chance to live by aiming at your body to make you suffer longer". Too classic but always picky, like a villain who would talk 5 minutes before making a move, leaving time for reinforcements to join. And secondly Mary did not die after taking like 6 shots in the chest. I totally understand she needed to be preserved for a sequel (which is fine since she now represents Being X's will & power) but c'mon, at least cut the sequence where Tanya shoots her, let her be saved after 1 shot. Or actually, this scene could have been very great if a sign of divine power had shone, as it happened during their first encounter (however, I do think it happened because of Mary's anger & hatred suddenly pointing at Tanya, after she discovered her father's rifle). |
 |
| There's something amusing about Mary's I have God on my side so I don't have to worry about my actions personality that makes me wonder if she's supposed to be some kind of satire on a certain segment of Christians aside from the whole being named literally Mary Sue. I do wish she wasn't such a bland character though....it's a bit of a shame for Tanya's antithesis to be so lame. Pretty good movie otherwise, but tbh if the next one is more of the same i would rather there not be a sequel at all..we could go all day with this level of plot armor but one of you fucks has got to die at some point from maliciously attacking the other and/or shooting the other point blank X times. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| It seems the Empire lost the World War in the future as Schugel recounts in the opening. This was the guy who designed Tanya's flawed computational jewel in the TV series, right? I can't believe they'd let that lolicon Internal Affairs Secretary dictate military strategy, I hope Josef hang/quarter him after that debacle in Tiegenhoff! WTF! Why is Mary Sue still alive? Is it the power of the Mary Sue trope? I understand her need for vengeance but I find her annoying in the long run. Holy smokes! I knew that one, she qouted Clausewitz when she was lecturing Rudersdorf on war as politics by other means. She got her dream cushy and peaceful desk job at the rear only for a little time, now she got even more men under her as a testbed for all her Combined Arms proposals. I didnt hear about the aerial component though probably bacause her core component was already the aerial mage battalion but air superiority is coming! She should be promoted to at least a brigadier general already. Once again a victim of her own success! No matter what she will achieve with her combined arms unit, the Empire will fall as Shugel said so in the future interview at the opening which is depressing to think about. 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| The movie was good I got more then I expected. We need season 2. |
| Nice to see our favorite loli soldier back She/he has become pretty fearfull from salaryman to warmonger, strategist and most scaries of all a child Really hope that they continue this with a second season Damn just when Tanya had achieved being placed in the rear she has gotten into a much worse position lol |
 |
| I am like..super late to the party but finally got around watching this movie. It was a blast from start to finish, I really hope they come out with S2 at some point (but the after credits scene heavily implied it yey!). Trolling inside the commie city was genius! I thought Mary would be offed but since she is literally Mary Sue no wonder she lived. I thought it would be cool if Tanya got her OP beam gun but that didn't happen, she also seems to lose the one that was looted from the father. Good thing she had tha handgun on her. And as usual Tanya bamboozles herself with that rear research plan lmao. |
| It was better than expected, much better. Disappointed that every extra OVA/ONA/especial episode/movie has 0 relevance for the main story, Youjo Senki really develops the story after the anime. It’s really entertaining and one of the few plays that knows how to manage the war genre without making a mess in the middle, with Youjo Senki, I understood what was going on, where they were and why, the politic scenes were just a few, and considering that sometimes they make a mess of the storytelling, it was a correct decision. The movie focuses in the development of Tanya as the main protagonist/antagonist (depending) and the war between the Empire and the Federation, with spectacular animation, usual in the format, but valuable. The plot introduced Mary, a girl, daughter of a soldier murdered by Tanya, blessed with a great magic power, that confronted Tanya in a great scene full of rage and beams. The story didn’t miss comedy and other good scenes about friendship, happiness and patriotism (yeah, the scene where the sing the anthem). The story finished with another acid joke about Tanya going back to the front, but with the set for a sequel. The only thing I had huge problems, is with Mary surviving Tanya’s burst of bullets, wtf. Overall, a good movie and sequel for the anime, totally recommended. |
 |
| I forgot how much I love the style of the credit pictures... and how every good bit of faith is just shat on by Being X. Now Tanya has a big ol' force. Honestly, I can see her going crazy with her own army and creating whatever version of the Reich. (Well, it already seems to be going that way/emulating our history) |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
