//Story// (SPOILERS FOR FIRST THREE EPISODES)
Tayna was reincarnated by God or by the show called "Being X" in an alternative WW2 where magic is the most powerful weapon, but not just any human has it. God gave Tanya another live, because God wanted Tanya to belive in "Being X". He throws many hardships at Tanya to let her belive in him. She is reincarnated as a little girl who joins the military at age 8. Soon after she becomes one of the most elite and promising troop The Empire possesses.
//Characters//
Most of the characters we meet in this show don't have any insane character development and some characters don't even have much screentime, but I my opinion it is not for the worse, I even think otherwise. Tanya IS the main character ant the DRIVE for the story. She is the reason why for me this show was so entertaining. The hype scenes, the cool shit she sometimes says, that is the reason why I like this show.
The only think I really didn't like through-out the show on any characters where their names, like wth. Sure Tanya is normal, but her other name? Degurechaff? Her second hand Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakova? I understand it should mimic german names, but jesus I haven't learned any other name that Tanya and Zettuour, but that just might be, because I am stupid.
For few first episodes I didn't like Tanya, I thought she was annoying, stupid and just over-aggresive, but after episode 3/4 I understood. I understood why is it so fun seeing her being like that. She is stupidly op, but that is why it is so much fun, I don't think characters have to go through hard training and other stuff to make a good character. And it is even explained why is she so op, so I don't find any problems there. And just watching how she is single-handedly destroying enemy fronts is just so much hype I do not understand how an anime fan, can't like that.
//Animation//
To be honest, I was really suprised how good the animation is for an studio that haven't made any other popular shows. Some of the actions scenes were just stunning. Sometimes there was used CGI, actually it was used kinda a lot, but I do not think it was bad, it was probably handled way better than most shows do. Sometimes I was wandering if I am seeing an animation or CGI. Of course there were scenes where the CGI was just awful, mostly when it was used for people in the background. But other than that, it was a pleasent suprise to see such a good animation and CGI used next to each other.
//Sounds//
I do not usually talk about sounds, but OMG in this show it was so special. Every explosion, every shot, every artillery shot I was just melting with happiness and satysfaction. It really reminded me of The Eminence in the Shadow with the "I Am Atomic" line and the sound was used in it. But here it is just with almost everything and it is bringing me joy in to my life. And I even haven't touched on when the mages shoot, espceially Tanya, because that is even better. I do not think I will be satysfied by sounds more than I was by this show. Also OP and ED is just a benger added to my playlist on spotify right after I finished watching this show.
//Synopsis//
For me Saga of Tanya the Evil was just a pure joy for me to watch, I've enjoyed it so much. I probably see why, because of the main character or the premise you may not like this show, but for me it is the reason why I love this show. Mayby I enjoed it even more, because I love war themes, but I think it is just another reason why I loved this show so much. I can recommend to at least giving it a try for few episodes.
9/10
