Thanks for letting me know, OP. Just bought my ticket.

>Not showing in my country

I could go see it, but I really don't want to watch it in a theater with a bunch of randos.

>>927518

Sorry, just found it. It's showing in my city not too far away from where I live, but I can't go because I'm working.

It was good. Tanya is so cute. I'd watch it again if it wasn't a one time showing in my area. Now to await the blurays.

Have some Tanyas for the anons that couldn't make it.

>>927577

It's airing where I live in 20 minutes, but I'm working right now.

If you work, you lose. Never forget.

>>927580

Sorry about that, anon. I personally would've left early if I hadn't quit my job already.

>>927493

Fuck that made me laugh more than it should.

Got back from watching it a couple of hours ago. It was pretty good.

>Tanya taking delight in killing commies.

>Raiding the capital.

>tfw the main antagonist of the movie is literally named Mary Sue.

I loved this movie. It was fantastic, the people in the audience were actually respectful and quiet of the movie. The scene at the end with the church was wonderful, and the bit after the credits was great too. 10/10 movie.

The movie was great, it was basically just one long episode in terms of tone and feel. My only complaints are probably the CGI use, but thankfully it was barely used anyway and mostly reserved for complex machinery.

10/10 Would BTFO Commies gain

Glad I could help Anon

Does the movie follow the events of the LNs or does it branch off into its own donut steel timeline?

>Fujoshits redesigned

I read that eversince the anime aired but that's a dumb reason. Fujos focus on boys but that's no reason to make girls look ugly, except possibly the MC girl in some stories that the reader is supposed to self-insert as.

Am I really the only one who likes the lips?

>>928214

Sadly you're probably not the only one with shit taste.

I don't get how someone can see pic related, then look at the anime and say "'this is the better one".

The hero this story needed.

>>928010

Alright, so I'm finally watching the show. I'm at episode 8 right now and I just need to get this off my chest: I don't get it.

I mean, I'm enjoying myself. WW1 is really underused. Really makes me want to replay Shadow Hearts: Covenant which I'll probably do. It's fun to watch both the fight scenes and Tanya's tactical genius moments. While I still don't like her face up close, it's really not that bad in many scenes and the gear and weapon design is really good.

However, there's just so many that don't seem right to me. I don't really see why it needed to be an isekai in the first place. All I goot from that so far was references about passive smoking, sarariman and knowing that WW1 didn't go well for Germany. The MC doesn't even seem to care that he's a little girl now (neither positive nor negative) and it seem like growing up nine years as a baby-to-kid with an adult's mind didn't affect him at all. You'd need to change a few parts but I'm sure "smart little girl mad at God whom she doesn't believe in" would work just as good without the isekai aspect.

And what's the plan of NotGod/Being X? Alright, you want to teach the MC faith and humility being putting her through a really shitty situation? Alright, makes sense. But why the hell do it like that.

>Let's see how smug and calculating some corporate elite asshole is after he has witnessed the horrors of trench warfare.

Well yeah, that'd change ones mind.

>As a weak, little, orphan cute girl.

That's horrible! Seems like getting raped and killed or starvation are pretty like outcomes.

<Also, she has super powerful magical talents which grants her superhero-tier powers. She's basically a one-girl army, even among other mages.

Wait, what? Why make her this powerful if you want to teach her that "people turn to faith in hopeless situations"? All she has to do to get a powerup is say a pseudo-Christian prayer that she doesn't actually believe in. It's not even like she spreads faith through that. I have yet to hear any character go our comander is so devout, she prays before every battle". Also, again Tanya doesn't really have any troubles for being a little girl. Some people laughed at her and others feel their paternal instincts but still you'd think it would come up more often.

Lastly, the whole magic aspect seems really undeveloped. Seems like all they can do is flight, shield and power-up their weapons. It seems like magic should have a bigger impact on the setting. In comparison Strike Wtches took itself way less seriously but it still had more detailed magic lore. Like, they all can cast different spells and flying was possible through using brooms. Here it's unclear is mages even did anything pre-WW1.

Maybe I wouldn't have these complains if it was just some fantasy game stting and the explanation was "this is just how a game works" but as it is clearly going for it's own thing, some parts should be more developed.

>>927480

All that said, I still plan on watching the movie.

>>935660

To answer a few things, I remember hearing that Carlos Zen didn't like the concept of isekai protags that change their world with their knowledge/cheat powers so he gave all of the tools for Tanya to be able to save Germany but is doomed to watch it fail like its supposed to. As for why it has to be? I suppose because that's what he wanted to write.

She was given magic powers so she'd be forced to the front lines, and there was a brief explanation in the LN that children are better at developing their magic and that's why the scientist selected her. The Type 95 being her cheat powerup has a cost in that it brainwashes her, I believe this was covered in the anime. It burns atheism as fuel like a stone would burn wood, if she keeps using it it will burn away all of her atheism.

Her being a child could be played up more, the manga plays with it a bit.

The magic could also be explained more but there is a bit more to it than just flight and weapon enhancement (or beam spam if you read the manga). The orbs are used to run spells in parallel, like a computer processor. This is what makes the Type 95 and 97 so special, they have more processors than the toasters the rest of the Reich/Europe is using. So the mages using them can run flight, oxygen, I think body warmth spells, and other shit at the same time. There is brief mention of mages before they got the stamp of government approval in that they were mostly village witches/healers/etc doing small jobs. It isn't much and probably not satisfying, but I can't say that world building is Youjo Senki's strong suit. The British(and maybe Americans?) do use brooms.

I hope I cleared some things up for you but I understand if I didn't. I do recommend reading both the LN and the manga. All three versions have their own strengths.

Now that I think about it, same. I think that was the first time I cared enough about a movie to see a camrip, too.

>>935736

Alright, I finished it now.

>The Type 95 being her cheat powerup has a cost in that it brainwashes her, I believe this was covered in the anime. It burns atheism as fuel like a stone would burn wood, if she keeps using it it will burn away all of her atheism.

Maybe I missed that but it doesn't seem like her atheist worldview changed at all during the series. She has to call out to God every time she uses her magic powerup but that's about it. There's this subplot about her wanting to kill Being X and she also had that hilarious freakout in the speech during ep12 but that's also not really changed since ep1.

Healing magic is mentioned at one point so that's nice. I still wish there some non-gun/shield/flight magic shown on screen. I also hated these displays. It should have either looked more magical or like maps/instruments from WW1 era, not like a menu from some MMO anime.

>Her being a child could be played up more, the manga plays with it a bit.

I think it could be used for some tiny comedy moments inbetween. Like he's acting all serious all the time, it would be fun if the body gave him troubles once in a while. They did it once when she couldn't reach a map but there's more potential.

>"Yes, I drink my coffee black, thank you very much" *sip* [Ugh, it's so bitter it makes me want to puke!] "A very fine roast indeed."

>"Alright, men! Let's do some training before all that flying makes you forget how to use your legs! We're running with fulll marching equipment!" [...was running always this fun? Shit, I have to cramp up my face just to keep myself from smiling!]

<"Woah, the commander looks angry today. It's better not to piss her off."

>[Working until deep into the night was no problem back in Japan, so why does this this child body want to take an afternoon nap?]

Something along those lines. Just a bit of internal thoughts, wouldn't even channge how the other characters see her.
