Comments

With no further useless explanation and narratives, the first episode of Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil is opened with the epic war scene in Rhinne Theatres. This anime is packed with full of military action scene with some armies pointing their guns to the enemy, raid of military reinforcements and explosions from artillery bombardment in all the battlefield. The most interesting part of this anime is the combination between magic and military warfare to build the tense in this action-packed anime. The military warfare themed background music in this anime also plays a huge role to build up the tense.

Another point which pick my interest in this anime is how Aoi Yuuki casts as a cold-blooded and sadistic little girl, Tanya Degurechaff despite her usual role as cheerful girl character in other anime. If you look up for some awesome action anime in this season, you might not want to miss Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil with its’ magical-military warfare and some sadistic cute girl.
