"Youjo Senki" is an anime based on a light novel by Carlo Zen, and was distributed on YouTube from January 6 to April 3, 2017. Although it is short with only 12 episodes, it is characterized by its dense story development and fierce depictions set on the battlefield. In this article, we will take a closer look at the appeal and highlights of "Youjo Senki," as well as the worldview of the original work that lies behind it.

Overview

"Youjo Senki" begins with the bizarre premise that Tanya Degurechaff, a modern-day office worker, is reborn as a young girl in another world after speaking with God. In her new life, Tanya becomes a soldier and fights on battlefields reminiscent of World War I. Her only goal is to prove the existence of God and speak with him again. However, in the process, she runs through many battlefields, meets many people, and grows as a person.

Story and Characters

Tanya Degurechaff is a young girl with a cool, rational way of thinking, but she also has combat abilities that are hard to imagine given her appearance. Her strategies and actions amaze and impress viewers. The characters surrounding her are also fascinating, and her interactions with her companions, especially Visha and Reinhard, add depth to the story.

The story revolves around the battle between the Imperial Army, to which Tanya belongs, and the Allied Forces. The realistic depiction of the battlefield and the intricacy of the strategies have the power to draw the viewer in. In addition, there are many scenes that make viewers think about the cruelty of war and human dignity through Tanya's growth and conflict.

Animation and Music

Studio PuYUKAI, in charge of animation production, has drawn realistic depictions of the battlefield and the characters' expressions with great attention to detail. The battle scenes are particularly impressive, leaving a strong impression on viewers. Music is also an important element in enhancing the atmosphere of the work, with the background music and theme songs enhancing the tension and excitement of the story.

Comparison with the original

The anime version has retained the essence of the novel, but by adapting it to video, it has become even more appealing. Even those who have read the original will be able to enjoy the story from a new perspective. There are also many episodes in the original that are not depicted in the anime version, so if you are interested, be sure to check out the original.
