Youjo Senki Discussion and Criticism

For me, there isn't any overtly evil side in this war. The federation might have started the war, but they are more of an idiot. Same with Darcia. If it's evilness, then it's feel that the UK is the most evil one for me.

 

Okay, those flying broom are stupid design. They don't even have stirrup. It will be hard to keep the balance like that. Especially with the luggage hanging around like that. Hell, even the Republic kind of metal horse still better designed, at least they have place for the legs.

 

When you realize Youjo Senki is an Alt-History SI fic that got turned into an Anime.

They have no testicles anymore.

 

Tanya's interactions with her men are always pure gold.

 

To be fair, you're always going to have those idiots in every piece of fiction. And from what I've seen, at least everywhere I frequent, said people are called out as fucking idiots rather quickly. SB included. Especially because it's WW1, not WW2.

 

War started out as WW1 but tech and tactics are advancing so it will become WW2style fighting just without Nazi's cause the war started out with WW1 reasons and no Japan being involved or Nazi's

Its shown in the anime as well. For a sociopath, she does treat her soldiers well.

That strategy in episode 10. Awesome!!

 

Exactly, the tech and tactics may have caught up to WW2 methods, but without the Treaty of Versailles dumping a heaping pile of shit onto the German people, there aren't the same motivations that drove WW2 forward. Thus, no nazis. So it's still WW1, not WW2. That would come in a sequel, after the Empire loses and gets a majorly raw deal from the other countries.

 

For manga readers, how long has the Empire had tank tech? Is it new or did they have it for some time? How about the others powers?

 

In the LN, it was supposed to be that only the USSR had tanks, and their tough armor was supposed to be one of those things that made it hard for the Empire to fight. Was this changed and now the Empire has tanks?

 

Bii. "In the LN".

 

Well, whatever the case, it seems like the anime is still slightly different from the source materials.

 

Well, about the operation orbs, I only remember that according to LN, everyone other than the Empire's are about a generation behinds, because Type-97 performance is really that good. Dual core is better than single core.

Even USA orb's, while is definitely more robust and perform better than others, still fall behind Empire's.

 

Guys, the manga Empire has tanks.

Shown on chapter 1:


I honestly wonder all those whiners about Arene. What else do they think could be done about Arene? Its either besiege/starve them to death or surrender or urban warfare. Neither of these would be more humane and would also have huge warcrimes happen.

A thing I have noticed in the anime, its mentioned that Sue never told his family he was safe and alive. This could be Nuts way of allowing the canon events to still happen with his daughter becoming an enemy of Tanya while still allowing them to use Sir Sue for some more episodes.

 

So they have magic munitions, and a craft capable of traveling fast enough that conventional aa won't be able to detect or target it, whats stopping them from dropping an elenium composite thaumic bomb on anyone who disagrees? And don't say anything bout calculations if we can send a guy into space with pen and paper math.

 

Didn't think about it? Mad-scientist guy is mad, his rocket doesn't have the capability to maneuver. Also, what magic munitions?

 

They're sitting on their balls.

 

Bit of fringe brilliance, when you remember that they're British.

 

What?

I've seen no evidence of cushioning charms, and HP riders either supported their weight with their hands and/or feet as well based on what they were doing, not exclusively with their taint.

 

Episode 11.

Poor Tanya. Incompetent Empire. They made the same mistake that Hitler did with Dunkirk except worse! Cause the entire Notfrance navy and not battered command sturcture, resources and organized divisions are leaving. I felt Tanya's despair...

I honestly would like to see a snippet or something that has Tanya, out of character, tells command to fuck off and attacks Notfrance port. She may get killed during this but destroys the Notfrance army and ships forcing them to surrender thus ending the war or maybe coming back but still achieving the previous mentioned stuff and then gets executed and lambasted by everyone as bad, no honor, etc

We then get to see snippets of historians or analysts in the future who say that with hindsight what Tanya did was entirely correct and some guys call her a martyrr and by Royal decree is once more added to the roll of heroes and made a national hero or something.

Analysis of her tactics and empire tactics, etc. Like a wikipedia article. I would read it!

 

Cursed being X. Toying with humans like we're just mere puppets to dance to his strings!

Go Tanya!

Fight the being X!

Go Tanya!

Don't let him win!

Go Tanya!

Earn your peaceful ending!

Go Tanya!

You crazy bitch!

 

So the anime is done, thoughts?

 

I'm embarassed that I only just got the pun in Mary Sioux's name.

 

All Tanya ever wanted was to live a Quiet Life.
