A 2nd, longer PV (two versions, each with a different opening scene) was released today, with samples of Yuuki as Tanya and a proper soundbite of Myth & Roid's OP. Everything sounds and looks pretty promising, imo.

I'll throw the MV preview of the OP in there, too.

According to producer interview and LN author's blog, LN author is also supervisor of anime version.

Epiosde 1 preview:

Chibi episode 0:

[Stark700]

Episode 1:

Spoiler:

That was good, they fit in as much as possible (without either theme songs) so far. It'll take me a little to get used with the character designs though but I think the action was worth watching.

I really like the thrilling music they used during the fights as well. Tanya's personality is pretty much how I had expected as well. Described as a "monster", I'm liking this so far. A pretty serious show.

[Zefyris]

oh i didn't know about the chibi episode, thanks for posting them. They're not referenced as an entry on MAL database yet I guess?

Episode 1

Spoiler for episode 1:

Okaaaay there are huge changes from the original story and on so many level it's impossible to list.
They intend to make a really straight forward entertaining action magic military I guess.
That could work for the sales I suppose, I mean the original material is impossible to adapt in anime as it is anyway. Like ten times too complex for the average anime watcher's attention spawn so that would lead to a borefest that doesn't sell, no a smart idea.

Guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the animation and Y.Aoi 's voice acting then. That could be a fun ride nonetheless. Not sure the animation will remain as good for long, but hey, can always hope.
But man Visha is really ugly in the anime. What the hell seriously.

[AB079]

Pretty straight forward episode with pure battle + battle + Nazis everywhere. It feels rushed or they simply skipped something because I can tell there are some part missing.

The desings... awful, at least for some characters while the rest of the army was pretty normal. As for the animation, the fights were good but from time to time there were quality moments.

Gonna give this 3 episodes to see if this has more to offer or just drop it.

[human6861]

the mage don't wear helmet and no goggles . A lot stuffs get skipped and so on . Nice (lame) flying gears here .

I don't want to talk about the girls design . let it go , let it go , i want to forget la la la .

I will give it next episode , but after that i will drop .

This setup is based on Kaiser Germany or Prussia, not a Nazi... Seriously where do you see Nazis here?

Spoiler for comparison with novel:

Indeed, they skipped a chapter or two, probably in order to get to juicy action parts.
Straight adaptation would in half looks like a documentary one some history channel. They always may come back later to those.

I enjoy how clouds are animated as a background, it looks great.
