I’m not too enthused with isekai as a concept, as I typically think of them as “fantasy with extra steps”, but what anime are good because it is an isekai?

    I really couldn’t stomach Tanya. I couldn’t tell if it was a romanticization of fascism or a condemnation of it. I might be edgy, and I might be an atheist, but I’m not THAT kind of edgy atheist.

      Is Animal Farm a romanticization or condemnation?

      Personally, I thought the title - Saga of Tanya the Evil - made it pretty clear.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a condemnation of fascism and war in general, the most recent season especially.

      The war stalls and everything turns to shit basically.

        Not only that, Tanya just wants the war to end so she can live off a cushy officer job. She’s a pragmatist, she has no romance for fighting.

        She’s still fucking evil as the title aptly points out, but the politics in the series gets complicated

      It was technically trying to have ww2 styling and decorations but keeping it politically neutral with more a ww1 empire fighting empire European land war with Geneva convention being obeyed. So they’re ignoring the fascist part or trying to downplay it.
