[New][January 2017] The Saga of Tanya the Evil

The lady has standards, what can you say?
Dodge that avalanche boys.

Last Seen: Episode 5

Summary: A young girl,  with blond hair and blue eyes... Tanya Degurechaff. She has entered the final curriculum of the Imperial Military Academy, and is training at the third patrol line in the northern military district, as part of her service to the force. Her training, the first step in her plan toward a brilliant career as an Aviation Mage, should have gone off without a hitch... but things took an unexpected turn, as war breaks out, and Tanya is caught in a dilemma...flee and be branded a traitor, or face a full squad on her own, and receive too much honor...She formulates a plan to arrange for her early retirement, but again things go astray from her plans...there's more going on than is apparent. Including her very presence in this world of magic and war.

First Impression:
Easy to be led astray by the first episode. Watch the second episode, minimum. Also: EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.

My Opinion: Watch it. Right now. ERGH everything is so amazing. Again: There's more to this show than the first episode makes apparent. It is a irrefutable claim that the first episode could turn away people, as it takes the guise of being another magical war anime, with a little girl protagonist. It is anything but. The title alone should be incentive enough for interest, but the first episode doesn't do nearly enough justice in underlining just how evil Tanya is, nor does it underline why hard enough. Do yourself a favor. Set aside some time. Watch episodes 1 and 2, and no more. You will have everything you need to decide to watch this show or not.

OH.
I suppose I should mention, if Blaspheming God (I learned a new spelling of a word today), is a 'Trigger' for you, piss off. God (or a god anyway) is gonna get verbally pissed on a lot in this show. Deal with it or be gone.

[Aside]On a completely unrelated note, this show is right up my alley, and your own mileage may vary. I'm a sardonic little shit, and I love watching people ruin their own lives. Seeing someone struggling against a ridiculous god with pure reason and cunning is tickling all the right places in my brain. Especially this one, because it is such a self-centered dick.
[Aside end]
