@aBoredDude eeehhhhh . . . Probably Howl's moving castle, Clannad, Summer Wars, and probably a tie between FMA brotherhood and the majority of Soul Eater. Wasn't a big fan of the last few episodes of soul eater but everything else about it was really good.
@Zero yea, those little peppering of episodes would get my hopes up and then dash them immediately. I had heard they are working on another season but nobody knows when it's supposed to air
I honesly think Tanya is the perfect leader for an army at war because if the enemy is just as ruthless the only way to win is by totally wiping them out and Tanya is perfect for the job of doing just that as she uses cold hard logic and sypathy doesn't get a look in , ever
Yeah... ok, but no. I mean, I strongly support the claim for the need and definition of what a perfect trailer is. Explains nothing and let them see if they want to watch it. But THIS little "ASMV", although a good trailer for the show... is definitely NOT a spoiler free one. For instance, it does massively spoil the action scenes and the hype on this. People will get the wrong idea. It's a highly psychological show. As you can get from many comments, many reactors, that's WAAAAYYY too much for most of people little heads. It's fine, they still enjoy the action... but I'm not sure it's helping to have more of these washed-up brains as viewers.
The ultimate Tsundere anime. Heartless salary man reincarnated as a heartless girl at war with God. One of my favorite anime's and this video brings out the drama and heart of the show. Great job! Now I'm totally going to re-watch it.
If you watch carefully, you'll see that outwardly she's cold emotionally. The prefect soldier. But eventually that emotion she hates and despises escapes the carefully crafted shell of logic she hides behind. She's a foolish being. She's what she hates. Being X is proving it to her, time and again, but she refuses to see it. @@vorynrosethorn903
I would deeply consider listening to the light novels via Audible; more content between the scenes shown in the anime and more drama of Tanya justifying her brutal acts to herself with fringe points and "perfect logic"
imho Tanya is that worlds Bismark. She is a tsundere for the fatherland. Says she only wants an easy life, but at the end of the day, she will still give her life for the benefit of the fatherland.
@@idealicfool As the story goes, Tanya care more, and do more for her comrades, for the fatherland. She has never been honest to herself. But we'll see, when things end, what Tanya really is.
@miyoko8380 I have been unable to determine as yet if she is just simply tsundere for the Vaterland, or if she just doesnt like losing. I mean she knows what happens if they lose having seen it in her world.
@@idealicfool She's not a tsundere. She just think and do things differently to the point that everybody seems to misunderstand her. When I said that she's never been honest to herself, that's because she's yet to accept and put down her ego and pride. But she's changing, slowly but surely.
Depends on how you define evil. If we go by webster (and most people's) definition of extremely morally reprehensible, she is absolutely evil since there are hardly any societies nowadays that find her social-darwinism and profound lack of kindness to be anything but morally reprehensible. The only way she isn't evil is if we are going by supernatural evil or otherworldly evil like with the devil. Which, yeah, the video's title does call her a demon, but I'd argue this is more meant in the way of an "evil person" which still corresponds to the above. Even if we say it is supernatural as in a "devil", then it still works because she is literally opposing God.
@@samphillips8188 Your definition of evil would be accurate for the real world, but for the world that Tanya is in where it's ok to send a child to fight on the front lines ? Plus a case could be made that Tanya is blameless since a supernatural entity, being x, (which I would define as evil) has put her in situations where she has to be morally reprehensible to survive.
@@hvghost I believe empathy, or the lack of, determines how good a person is, not evil. A soldier who kills an enemy without empathy is no more evil than one who kills and feels bad about it.
@@hvghost Empathy without a proper target is less than useless. And if your target is a complete moron that failed at every single chance and never learned anything, EMPHATIZING is a waste of time, if no detrimental. Removing the tumor is far better than leaving it there and wasting time trying to "reform" it. You cannot expect growth from people that are unable to face their mistakes and idiocies. Grind them to dust to avoid the pain they will cause others in the future, because if you don't you are willingly complicit and EVIL. See? You can flip anything. But besides moralizing, she is not wrong, at least in the anime. The others are shortsighted morons to a cartoonish level.
If I may be permitted to give my opinion once more. General Zettour and Rudersdorf are logical pragmatists, Highly skilled in political and military matters, no doubt about that. They make for great soldiers, in fact, the same could be said for you as well. Our strategic HQ is truly a bastion of logic, a fortress of knowledge, you could even call it a think tank. It's because of this that you've all come to believe the war is at its end because it's the only rational conclusion given the circumstances. But - You see - that sort of thinking ignores one critical component of war. Our chief strategists are far too rational. In a way it makes them blind to the real world and thus, they've completely overlooked something crucial: Rationalism and Pragmatism are not the only things that drive human actions, at our cores we are all still foolish creatures. I hate to be the one who has to tell you this lieutenant colonel, but what you just said is exactly right. Knowledge of history, though I guess, I really mean my own history. My own personal experiences and memories. I have seen hatred personified. It burned in the eyes of a man. Promising retribution no matter what the cost. I have seen the moment when a talented soldier lost all reason and gave himself over to anger - I have witnessed countless acts of vengeance. They were driven by fury. And so, I have realized something during this war. No - Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say: I remembered something that I have forgotten. That I have personally experienced the irrationalism of Humanity. I know what happens when emotions make someone unreasonable. No matter how much we believe we've modernized, no matter what social constructions we pledge to live by. Humans continue to be foolish creatures. We think we're so advanced, but when pushed we still prioritize emotions over logic. - When human beings are overcome with hatred, they'll keep fighting. Without concern for self-interest or reason. Regardless of what they might stand to gain or lose.
@@JabamiLain I don't why Tanya is labeled as a Nazi. First the the time line is the first great war. Second many Germans who fought in the second great war weren't Nazi as they were conscripted into the war. Many didn't believe in the Nazi idealogy but weren't stupid to rise up against it.
The Empire was invaded First by every nation around them, they fought back and when they won battle after battle the whole world was mad because that isnʻt how it was supposed to go. Tanya at the point where we leave off in the LN as a mage is basically the Grim Reaper. Thereʻs a scene where they are fighting on the Russian front and the British mageʻs come in with American volunteers. When Tanya engages them one of the British cpts tell the Americans about who she is and to not rush in, they donʻt listen and they all get slaughtered as you can hear them screaming on the radio as Tanya is talking trash in the clear so everyone can hear her. lol
While the term "evil" is a human construct and entirely subjective, I believe it is misplaced on Tanya Degurechaff. That's my oppinion based on the manga, mind you. The entire show's running gag is about a disconnect of common sense between Tanja and the rest of the world. Therefor, what Tanja, and we, the viewer know of through her inner monologue, the rest of the world doesn't. 1) As the viewer, we know Tanja is not a warmonger. Tanja sees herself as a pacifist, who desperately wants to be placed into the rear so she doesn't have to fight. Meanwhile her words, actions, tone, and facial language are perceived as those of a patriots, who wants nothing more than the opportunity to do battle. This is further elaborated on her asking for the permission to flee battles on several ocassions. 2) Tanja is concerned about her survival, sees people as recources, sees subordinates as meat shields and such. That said, while this is interpreted as evil, it is also common military perspective. Keep in mind this is a girl which was recruited at the age of 9. If she hadn't volunteered, she would've been drafted. At the very beginning of the manga/show, she was ganged up on by multiple flight mages, a situation in which everyone else would've died. Of course she'd be concerned about her survival, and would take lenghts to ensure it. 3) Tanja is pretty cut-throat and manipulative at times(trying to convince Ugar to reseign when he is emotionally vulnerable), but again, her survival is at stake. 4) A gernerally important factor is that Tanja has not only an intellect in the 1% percentile and the attitude to properly sharpen it, she also had accumulated vast historic and militarisitic knowledge from her previous life, so basically she knows what's going to happen before it happens, and naturally, her entire life consists of the frustration of knowing what has to be done, but lacking the authority to make it happen, or be listened to. It's hard to avoid resenting humanity when you feel you are the only sane person in a gigantic clown show.
5) She is literally at war with, for all intents and purposes, God Almighty. Being X seems to have absolute dominion over the world she's reborn into and constantly shits in her supper just to make her bend the knee and kiss the ring. She's unable to talk about this part with anyone, as it would make her seem utterly insane. Thus, she has no relief from the constant battle fatigue she endures and has to rely on amphetamines, the "candy" she's often seen eating.
She herself accepted the fact that she has little to no emotions, this is what is she said in episode 2. She understands emotions, but doesn't experience them herself in the same way others do. This allows her to focus on the outcome regardless of what needs to be done. And she definitely did things that can be considered evil. For example in Arene City the following happened: 1. Long before the battle she wrote a report that explained how to deal with war rules in city combat. It explained a way how the army could legally fire on civilians, something that is normally not allowed. 2. When Tanya was ordered to execute this plan she faked that she disliked it. Despite it being her own plan, something no one knew. 3. During the execution of the plan, she had no issues firing at civilians and forced her men to do the same. 4. Last but not least, the part that truly could be considered evil of all this. The episode showed her real goal. Freely firing on civilians was not just something to avoid legal problems to her. It was a important goal of her. Her goal was to kill the children that could potentially rise up in the future against the empire. Something I personally would consider evil. Tanya is not evil in the sense that she wants to do evil things. It is just that morals do not exist within her. There is nothing that prevents her from doing evil things if it benefits her. She also only wants peace so that she is safe and sees it as a "waste of human resources", but she would probably not care about a war somewhere else. That said "being X" is much more evil then her. Considering he is purposely pushing for a world war just to teach Tanya a lesson.
@@NLwino She's indeed a sociopath and uncaring about other people's emotions. That's not the same as being evil though. As you mentioned, she does what needs to be done from her PoV to achieve results. Regarding the battle of arene: 1) In c35, she proposes the loophole in urban warfare in regards to civilian casualties. Keep in mind though, that the occupiers (in this case the francois mages) would be obligated to evacuate the city to prevent collateral damage among the civilian population and that the empire specifically asked them to evacuate and release all non-combatants, including empire hostages. The francois mob however then butchered the hostages and declared hostilities towards the empire. You can argue that Tanya fully took advantage of the irrational human condition of ruining their prospects for survival, but it was Arene's populations' mistake made, as well as francois' militarys'. The francois mages made both empire and francois-friendly civilians their hostages, and didn't release them when ordered to, as was their duty. They led the massacre on empire citicens happen. They werefor made those people their meat shields. If the hostages were released and the civilians left the city instead of becoming particans, it would've ended with a purely militarian encounter without civilan casualities. 2) Actually, it was the other way around. She put up a smiling face, pretending to be unbothered by the order, while internally cursing the karma of having to carry out her own devillish plan, and fearing she'll be branded a war criminal in case of the empire's defeat. 3) The resolve to carry out orders and have them carried out, a soldier's duty. As she issued the order of surrender, upon which civilians should've left, she thought: "Arene, don't hold a grudge against me. I didn't pull the trigger, the reason of state did. For the sake of the empire and the soldiers that will be saved by a secured supply line, the scales of the general staff leaned towards, the cruel rule. Which is, keeping the balance." As the saying goes: "Everything is fair in love and war." She herself declared it an inhumane calculation, and it was forced upon the empire by guess who? The Francois republic! Shortly after, she predicted, to the word: "Die imperial bastards!", as the Partisans shot their unresisting hostages, and declared, guns and pitchforks in hand, that they would "fight till the last man!" You cant pull your punches when facing an angry mob of thousands of armed people. The people of arene eagerly dug their graves themselves, refusing escaping. 4) It never mentioned children. Word-for-word it was:"Look at their faces with your observation spell. Do you see that? Those are faces filled with hatred. The francois republic will definately find zealous recruits among them." And all of which followed there-after were sentiments like "Shoot or get shot", "follow orders", "save empirial lives by saving the supply line and killing the enemy." Calling it her "real goal", even more so specifying children is your own interpretation. "It is just that morals do not exist within her." War is a huge grey area, you can search for morals there forever. If people heeded morals, wars would not exist and be resolved before break-out. Humanity itself is moral if it benefits it. Is it moral to infiltrate a city and use its citizens as shields to hide behind? I dont think so. "There is nothing that prevents her from doing evil things if it benefits her." What is evil? It is breaking the accepted rules and morals of society. However, the mc specifically managed to avoid breaking these rules, therefor she is not evil. As she predicted though, the empire would ultimately lose, and arene would be dubbed an act of evil post-war. "She also only wants peace so that she is safe and sees it as a "waste of human resources"," There is nothing evil in wanting to feel safe. It's a basic human need. And yes, she is cold, but it's not evil to see humans as recources when you look at it from a military pov, where you do have to manage vast amounts of soldiers to achieve a bigger objective. "but she would probably not care about a war somewhere else." How is that different from your average human being? How many people truly care about the wars on the other side of the planet? Humans, base-line, care about the people close to them. The only reason people care about wars they are not directly involved in is if they are indirectly affected by it.
@@MrOrmanley The definition of evil is up to debate, but by your logic almost nothing is considered evil. Not Hitler, not Stalin, almost nothing. By your logic genocide, if done for the sake of your country, is not evil. The holocaust was done by nazi rules, there for not evil as it breaks no rules, they set themselves. Using your logic. But I'm not going to debate that further. I'm just going to correct a few things you said about the series. 1) Like you said Tanya perfectly predicted their reaction. Everything went according to her plan. And while you can argue that francois mages where using as a shield. In the end it was them trying to protect the citizens and the empire was trying to kill them. All according to Tanya's plan. 2) I was talking about the scene where she received the orders from her superieur. Where she pretends to dislike the command until her superieur shuts her up and forces her to do it. This is to make sure she seems innocent and to keep her hands clean. 4) "It never mentioned children". No, it straight up shows them. Getting killed and in the group of their target to kill. Tanya's words: "The enemy you let go will take up his gun again", then the camera zooms in on a child, angry and crying. Tanya then says: "If we let them go, some will become new soldiers who hate the Empire."
@@NLwino I think there might be a disconnect in our argument based on you quoting the anime, and me the manga. In my original post, I specifically said: "That's my oppinion *based on the manga* , mind you." I only watched snippets of the anime and Tanya was seemingly made more cartoonishly, straight-forward evil than in the manga. Do you think the nazis considered themselves evil in their time? Do you think russia currently does? The idea of good and evil is, indeed, subjective. Every person has their own opinion and if you have enough people of the same opinion you can reach a general consensus, but yeah, ultimately there is no definite way to determine good and evil outside "I'm doing it because I enjoy being evil." or something similar. 1) In the end they were trying to protect them, yes. That was *after* these people *massacred* uninvolved hostages that were *trying to flee themselves* and *raising their weapons against the empires' military* . Can someone who still has the blood of the innocent on their hands still pretend to be uninvolved? The empire specifically asked for uninvolved civilians to escape, and the sympathizers *REFUSED* . There was never once a white flag raised, it was simply the francois military retreating and getting destroyed as it did. 2) Is this where she received the general order before or the specific order during the battle? Because as I look through *the manga* , I can spot no *pretends she dislikes the command*, that was entirely internal. She readily accepted the orders while in her mind cursing her bad luck that she'll have to do it. As she curses her role in this internally, and is not aware of us readers, it can be deduced that those are her personal feelings, no pretending. Her superiors commend her for her sense of duty and readiness to follow orders, but also pity her for having to carry out these inhuman, damning orders. there is no 3), so I guess I'll keep it out 4) from the manga: chapmanganato.com/manga-um971369/chapter-38 I see no children. Now, it is only logical that one could assume them to be there, or maybe they *HAD* been evacuated beforehand, as they would be of no use as partisans, similar to the women. All you can see in the panels are enraged, violent men with pitchforks and guns, and they chose their fate. 40years later it was said that half of Arene's residents survived, likely children, women and the elderly. It was this specifically which convinced me of our disconnect: *"then the camera zooms in on a child, angry and crying"* Yeah, there are no zooming cameras in manga. 🤪 Well, technically, there are none in anime either, but I suppose that is in lack for a better word. *tl;dr Tanya is apparently more evil in the anime vs the manga* The francois brought the battle to a civilian area and provoked urban warfare They hid behind their civilian meat shields instead of evacuating them as was their duty And as these meat shields killed of hostages and declared themselves combatants, shit hit the fan. If I were to walk into Ukraine with a rifle to help and get killed in the process, ultimately, I might've fought for a just cause, but getting killed with a rifle in hand while shouting *f*cking russians, I'll kill you!* as a result would've been my own fault.
This is where 2 realizations come into play: 1) If you claim a god is on your side, you'd better damn well prove it. 2) When your failures start to stack up after claiming (1), you'd better reevaluate your beliefs.
Tanya does not believe in god. She calls the thing that reincarnated her as "Being X" and thinks it´s closer to devil. The reason Tanya every now and then preaches about god etc. is that the experimental computation jewel causes mental corruption when it is in use. All in all she just wants the war to end so that she could get a nice human resources kind of safe job but the supernatural being just keeps on guiding humans to make the war bigger. All just to force Tanya in a situation desperate enough to make even her ask for god to help her...
That would eliminate the chance that Ainze wants to get with her romantically wouldn't it? The only woman who's super into him is a demon, and he doesn't respond to her very much.
If in every country there was a warrior like Tanya defending her homeland, the invaders would stay in their own country, e.g. the USA (certainly in the near future the world that has experienced suffering will want to take over the land in the USA as compensation). Obviously, Africa should use the land of, for example, France to compensate
i love the quote "HQ knows how to win wars but not how to use them" Because i interpreted it as you never kick a person when they're down, you shoot them right between the eyes and make sure they never get back up
@@Mezha07 I think is more like a way to show grace and higher ground. The guy is defeated you don´t need to rub salt to their injure. Help them recover, show them you can be a good ally if the want to. this way war will not repeat.
@@egsgffe6953 pretty optimistic but humans are rationally irrational and stubborn they do not accept things easily especially if it's something like war the only reason ww2 ended with the soviets and allied having a treaty despite not being actual allies is because the soviets took germany while the allies developed a weapon that brought down the eastern axis in face of such a weapon there was no need to continue an actual war but there was still the cold war that proceeded afterwards, for some reason peace thru talks is almost never possible the only reason we even have peace right now is cause major powers have WOD and if each power uses their arsenals it's a mutual destruction, hence why if you really want peace have a big fcking stick so no one fcks with you
Peace is a band aid, a good example for that is if a person were to be executed because they lost a battle or war do you think such a person would simply allow you to cut off their head if they had an option to kill you and themselves in face of such despair? Emotion runs deep alot of conflicts in our own history was fueled by emotion. So if you were given the chance to get rid of an enemy without destroying yourself wouldn't you choose to absolute destruction of the other party to ensure no emerging enemies, it's not simply killing your enemy it's simply killing hate as an emotion by making sure no one is alive to even hate you or your nation
On a summary why do you think tanya wanted to use the V1 rocket to go through the southern sea and destroy the remaining armies of the republics it's because those soldiers still remember and know how they were defeated and thrown out of their home, a rational idea as it state is to surrender but irrationally they chose to continue the war out of the emotion they felt which is hate, tanya wanted to kill the very aspect of emotion from the republic forces they will not hate and hope as they will be dead to do so
Dude, you could have ended up at 3:05 or about. Would have been neat and fine and all. But then, you kept going. And fuck me, with none the less than the best lines and the best performance of the best VA of all time. The music is a bit "cheap" but it get the job done. Got massive goosebumps. Thank you for that.
"I am death, destroyer of worlds." while, I suppose, fits well... I think Tanya would prefer the original version (still translated). "I am mighty [Time\Death], the source of destruction that comes forth to annihilate the worlds. Even without your participation, the warriors arrayed in the opposing army shall cease to exist."
I like how she finds a way to use the prayers as a way to insult being. X honestly series where you have a magical world, but they use guns like this as like one of the main common types of weapons are usually stuff that I don't like. But the story is good enough to get around the fact that they're still using guns in a world that has f****** magic. And yes, I know they can use aim but and like tactical nukes to make the bullets like a nuclear bomb. But that s*** takes f****** time. Most of the time they're just shooting normal rounds. Hell they can't rapid fire. Those big ass tank explosions what they do when they charge the bullets with magic. So yeah it's about as useful as just using a normal gun. I mean yes with the machine gun she can wrap at fire some explosive rounds. But if you loaded the gun with explosive bullets, you get the same goddamn effect. The thing is, it seems very limited magic where the magic seems like it could be turned into something that would be more overpowered than the f****** gun, but yet it's very limited to most of the time. Just exploding bullets which don't do much more than a grenade which they also have in this world and maybe the occasional tactical nuke bullet most of the time. It's mainly just Amber which is probably the most useful thing magic does in the series
Tanya is the soul of a sociopathic 30-something atheist who, despite having consciously encountered a supernatural being and regularly using its power in his/her new life, remains a committed atheist. 🤔
