    Tanya herself is every bit as bad, though. They make quite a good pair, Being X and Tanya.

    I always wondered what is needed to be a god or further on The God. Superhero like powers, physic powers, etc. arent consistent with the laws of nature we have learned, and doesnt seem to be much more that affects our reallity/dimensions, (yeah sadly no Mutants, Mentats or Wizards in the future allthough Im 100% for robots and cyborgs) so Im not talking about our current reallity but about an hipothetic place where those things could be possible.

    What would make someone/something a god. Are we god to ants? (to dogs? they fking revere their masters) Would another race with "powers" be gods to us or would we just assume that its another species with another traits?

    Well, the common definition of the monotheistic god is both omniscient and omnipotent, essentially perfect in every way. I think there is also the aspect of being the source of all creation.

    Polytheistic religions hold their gods to a much lower regard, essentially just immortal beings with inhuman powers. Think greek gods.

    This show is amazing, it's very theologic too... to my suprise.

    Being X really reminds me of "God v.01d.73574m3n7"

    Finally caught up.

    As I kept saying when this was announced: Either it´s going to be REALLY bad or REALLY great. So far, the latter is true.

    Absolute surprise show of the season. Only Little Witch beats it. Super quality sound and animation. Tanya is a fantastic Nazi-loli. The action is great. And now ... she made a plan for Germany to win the world war xD

    I love this anime ... and not because I´m German xD

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    I'm not so sure about that. We already saw that while her past as an upper tier white collar does help her tremendously, it can also lead her to a trap. Running a department of a corporation is not the same as running a country or the military. Yet due to her grooved thinking, she can open her mouth before she can think things through. Realistically speaking she might be able to offer semi-educated pointers based on what she knows of our world's history (even so, she's Japanese, not European), but it's likely they won't help that much. Even Germany would have fared much better if it hadn't fought pretty much everybody else, but who could have made Hitler believe that before shit hit the fan? Not that it would have been up to them entirely either. Stalin was just as crazy and hungry, so it was only a matter who began it first. I suppose in this show's world things aren't necessarily that different, even if it's more like Strike Witches in the sense there are no nazis or communists.

    Not to mention she almost slipped out that in the back of her mind she already thinks Germany is destined to lose, just like it lost in our world.

    For someone so intelligent, why the fuck was she trying to reach a book at an impossible height? The first thing that came to my mind was to make a stack of books from the lower shelves and use that as a step ladder. She's not gonna suddenly grow taller no matter how much she stretches...

    Wasn't she just reminding people that she's a little girl who shouldn't be sent to the frontlines?

    No, she wasn't. Just look at the book she wanted to read.

    Everything she does is all to keikaku.

    Kidding aside, I don't think she dug her own hole this episode. God already dug it for her.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    More like fifty-fifty. The brass obviously needed to make sure she has what it takes. She's still a little girl in their eyes, yet now she's on a fast track to get promoted in order to lead the battalion. But if she had acted like a fool only good for face to face combat, it's entirely possible she wouldn't have got the special treatment. However, she couldn't help but follow her old, previous life habits of trying to give superiors a good impression (since she was the very dude who fired people who weren't impressing the bosses).

    Not completely accurate. While that may play a part, the reason she had to impress the dude is so she would get evaluated highly and given a choice in her position. That was shown during the dinner service, where she had been given several options. Unfortunately, she did too well and had been forced into a task only she can do.

    As they say, if you wanna get promoted, make yourself important, but not irreplaceable.

    I love all the shots where all you can see is Tanya's ahoge or barely the top of her head because they're framing other people in the shot.
    The highchair in the fancy dining room was also a nice touch.

    The highchair was the gag that made the episode for me.

    Kinda hard to humiliate Tanya any further than putting her in a chair for toddlers, especially considering she has no such problems at the café or in the General's office.

    Episode 5

    That was quite a change in her voice...

    Tanya has quite an edge if in her past life she paid any attention to the history of warfare. This Dakia disaster was an exaggeration, but in reality in both world wars unbelievable shit happened. Knowing such things beforehand, Tanya could contribute a whole lot, but then again, she's quite evil, so she might not care.

    I love this asshole-nazi-loli so much, lol. The voice-changing to "get rid" of the war laws, haha.

    And I guess there´s some twist incoming. Tanya was suspicious at how overwhelming their own power was compared to those Dakians (Austria? Hungary? Czech? whats it supposed to be? The map looked kinda funny).

    Aaaand gimme a video game! I want to freely fly in the sky as a cool nazi-mage and launch terrifying attacks on ground troops, then engage in exciting battles against enemy mages!

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    Things went surprisingly smooth for her. I was actually thinking she'd have a dud unit after spending 1 month physically toying the poor folks without letting them use magic.

    Tanya's first explosion shot was way more impressive during the Rhine theatre bits.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Yeah, was a bit weird. Though it almost looked as if ALL those shots emerged from only her incantation ... which would make it more impressive. Dunno.

    Episode 6




    - -- - -- -



    I wonder when Tanya will tell the superiors that if things continue for too long, it will all end with atomic bombing. Perhaps it's better not to tell. There's probably no hurry either as things don't yet look quite 40's.

    Tanya is quite a problem solver now, but I wonder how long a single person can keep things going.
