Tanya 5-6

86 is sooo damn good

So a couple of points here which you will probably address in the very next video 😆. In regard to God and being good. It's quite interesting if you pay attention because if you know your mythology and theology most gods are not good. They are narcissistic and selfish and want praise which is ironically exactly what this God wants. He wants. Tanya to acknowledge him. But as far as Tanya fighting and her being the reason for a world war. That's exactly what what x said in the snow. The entire world is against her, or will be. But it's funny because the anime has turned world war II on it's head. In real life. Adolf thought God was with him. Here. Tanya represents Adolf and she's using her knowledge of Fascism and History from her Earth to essentially conquer it and live a comfortable, peaceful life and spite of x. I don't know if you guys have noticed that. You probably have and I missed it. But yeah that's what's going on

You say 6 sessions but you forget about the MUST WATCH movie.

gate was mentioned, im happy

I'd say it's in WWI when the countries began a race for development and implementation of new weapons, deadlier, easier to manufacture, more reliable. And considering countries adapted their war doctrines based on their experience or needs, to find adversaries with different development and a military based on secrecy until the conflict erupted, it's no surprise that a smaller country did not focused resources in innovation and maybe tried to rely on a standard "all soldiers with an uniform and a weapon, and basic training". Having 600.000 soldiers would be clear sign of levy, recruitment for war, so many of them are just regular citizens drafted for battle, while the Empire could focus more resources in proffesional soldiers and development on tech because of their neverending wars. That kingdom on episode 5 had a rough start and was hit very hard, and seemed to have equipment from the revolutions era rather than WWI, marching into formations. Although you may be considering the WWII tactics and uniforms as that's something we're all more familiar with (because of the thousands of movies). And also the magic system... but do consider, aviation for war began mostly for scouting, as they were too fragile to carry weapons (because of the weight), so sturdier structures were monstly made for mid to late scenario in WWI. They relied mostly on artillery before bombardment was a thing, so she requesting them to throw their grenades was kind of new for warfare. Except magicians were the weirdest thing of them all, so new tendencies like dogfights made this already not a simmilar scenario than wars from our world.

I don't know if u know this, but there is a multi-dub for this anime where every character speaks the language that they are from. For example tanya speakes german but her inner monologue is Japanese, the French speak French, and the British speak English so on and so forth

FMAB is pretty peak. Never mind that every intro and outro song is iconic.

Breaking down Tanya's view of Being X into 3 perspectives; Optimism - She does not believe in any god, and isn't on particularly good terms with them if one does exist. Even in the best-case scenario, there's no reason to see the entity as a god. Realism - Just as some people believe in the existence of a benevolent god, they also believe in the existence of a malicious devil. For lack of any distinguishing characteristics, the being is decidedly neither, or an amalgamation of the two extremes. Not good, nor evil - simply an ambiguous entity that exists to serve its own purposes. Its ego drives it to oppress Tanya's own livelihood, making it an enemy. Pessimism - The being is the devil, interfering solely to inflict suffering for its own amusement. Since it has bestowed more curses upon Tanya than blessings, acting with more malice than benevolence, it is more comparable to a devil than to that of a god. However, the same way Tanya rejects the existence of a god, she rejects the idea of the devil, as an opposite but equivalent extreme. She views it as a neutral, self-important entity, capable of both immense good and evil - justified by the prejudice it has shown against her, as well as the favor it has shown others.

36:30 Unfortunately, the reality is - for a racehorse in this example; When they're young, they're trained for the job, and fed for it. Then they race, and they're fed for that. Once they retire, they might be kept for breeding, another valuable industry which earns them their feed. When they no longer work in any capacity, they get turned into pet food, and they no longer get fed (except to other animals).

I absolutely love her announcement to the Dakian weapons factory before bombarding it. Also, I grew up watching Space Balls and other movies like The Princess Bride, so I love the references!

“Only one man would dare give me the raspberry… LONESTAR!”

You have to watch the movie too. The Movie is part of the main story and very good. The OVA’s are pretty good and funny too but they are not main story.

I do believe that ep 5 is referencing that at the start of the first world war we still had countries trying to fight with cavalry and other outdated and largely useless tactics.

The funny thing is Tanya flying that high is just a flex. She could easily take them out from the original height so Ty that spell lol

btw there's a Tanya movie that's a direct sequel after the end of the show, unsure if you already know

Episode 6 is my fav episode. "Rejoice, it's a named mage" so badass.

Don't forget the movie

so dakia is actually in reference to the first year of world war 1 where some countries actually showed up with cavalry against the newly developed technology of machine guns.

Comments on E5: The "kicking snow out of her troop's lungs" was a huge abnormaility. CPR wasn't really as much of a thing back then, so when her troops saw her basically bring her troop back to life, they basically got the impression they couldn't even escape the training by dying, because Tanya would drag them back kicking and screaming. We see how effective their training/mindset ends up making them In regards to Dakia, this is actually paralleled in real world WW1. In WW1, Romania was still acting as if it was the 1800s where the rest of the world was already moving into 1900s (remember, beginning of WW1, France was also still using calvary/bright clothes until they wised up). Romania fell quickly to the better equiped Germans. Around 29:00, when Tanya announces to Dakia that they are about to attack, that is Tanya's *actual* voice. She intentionally lowers it/makes it sound more mature for those around her so that she is taken more seriousloy. She didn't mean to drop the voice, which is why the "kid" and "theater" comment got a raised eye. (Think kid trying to act grownup, then people start calling her on it).

On Dakia: this is based on real countries like Romania and other Eastern European states not having fully modern armies going into WW1, and even in WW2. These armies were decimated by machines of war they'd failed to account for in their training and strategy.

Also, for the poll, crazy idea just throw everything on it, FMAB Code Geass Gate etc, and just let it wittle down over time FMAB is i hope a dub affair, one of the few shows that I watched dubbed as a kid, and my brain just says no to sub lol same with Code Geass, nothing against it just brain be braining

Tanya mentions "Maybe I used the Type-95 too much..." when she's despairing after her group graduates training. The anime doesn't get into it, but this refers to how in the manga and light novel, the Type-95 has a narcotic effect on Tanya, namely like methamphetamine, which Germany gave to its soldiers. She gets more vicious and crazy and patriotic when her eyes are gold partly because she's high af

camera did glitch

In the dub during the end of training speech she thinks to her self that she wishes some of the recruits died

I think the next vote should be for shows that will get you to Isekai Quartet.

By the time the training begins Victoria knows whats up

Unexpected Spaceballs reference.

Yall gotta watch gate its similar to this so if you like tonya you'll like gate
