I still remember hearing about the LNs for this back in the day. I thought it sounded like pretty much the best thing ever (especially with the much cooler Japanese title, which translates literally as something like record of a little girls war). The art style looks really good in the LN art ( https://img00.deviantart.net/ec4b/i/2017/021/f/a/youjo_senki_hd_wallpaper_by_tammypain-dawagjb.png ), giving a good impression of Tanya being evil. I was somewhat let down when I found out that Tanya was a guy in a girls body, though at least that element isnt really focused on after the start. The animes art isnt quite as good as the LNs either, though it works quite well in action for the most part, with some excellent battles. And of course, Aoi Yuukis great VA work makes up for any art issues. The whole series is a lot of fun, mostly consisting of Tanya doing awesome and logical (but morally questionable) things. You both cheer for her because everyone else is so dumb and cheer against her because shes such a bad dude. Its the perfect combination for a story like this. Ive actually read a little bit of the LN for this, but its super dry and slow paced compared to the anime. I am looking forward to the movie thats coming outhave we heard whether thats original content or an adaptation of another book? Either way, the studio seems pretty competent in how they handled this, so it should be good stuff. In any case, little girls murdering people pretty much always makes for good anime, and hopefully we get more anime with similar premises as time goes on (youll certainly be seeing at least one more later on this list).
