Top products from r/YoujoSenki

Realistically, Youjo Senki isn't really popular in any country.

This sub has a tenth of the subscribers that any of the other Isekai Quartet subreddits have. I only know of one other person personally that has watched it, and that is because I made them.

In Japan where it is cost to popular, it is still fairly niche. The movie doesn't show up on Box Office Mojo, but this ANN article keeps updating the total as it meets milestones. At $3.58 million, it comes in at about #30 on the Japan Yearly Box Office list for 2019. Unfortunately for Tanya, Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel - II. Lost Butterfly ($12 million), City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes ($11.9 million), and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection ($8 million) all came out either on the same day/weekend.

It started on 50 screens, then expanded to 150, and then into the 4DX thing which I guess is theater in a truck. The series has been heavily marketed (large advertisements, collaboration cafes, airsoft ranges, etc.) and every week there was a different limited "at the door" bonus booklet or 35mm film bonus. It is rare for a movie to still be screened this late in it's life. Carlo Zen is a business savvy individual and has a lot of media tied into the property (Light Novels, two manga series, two anime series, and now a movie). He is probably hoping for a second season even more than any of us are.

Back to my part of the world. The first volume of the english language light novel is #30037 on Amazon in it's category. Overlord (hardcover) is #8544. Crunchyroll and AMC are showing the movie once on 500 screens in the US. So I'm glad it's at least popular enough to get that over here.

Sure! Here is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316512443

I prefer a physical copy as well, but they come out agonizingly slowly it seems! For example I am following The Irregular at Magic High School light novels (and I love the anime/manga) but they only come out something like 2-3 a year and many more to go. So Tanya is JUST starting end of this year, gonna be a long wait I think, but if any luck we'll get 2-3 more in 2018 for Tanya.

> It’s fair to say I have a unhealthy obsession with this series

lol that's kinda funny and kinda the same way here considering all the things i want to buy and the several Rem from re zero merch that i got which includes a plushie,a key chain,a phone strap and a figurine the only other re zero merch i have are a ram plushie and an adorable little keychain and the first two light novels if that counts.

if you want to check out some of things i have you can check them here and here's the first Tanya figurine that i was able to get and its absolutely awesome,it also came with vol 5 of the manga although its in japanese but its still pretty cool to have.

I also bought this mouse pad that should be delivered in about 2 weeks

Manga is only at the Os Fjord still so a good 10-15 chapters to catch up IMO.

LN is translated to english in November, start ordering on amazon, chapters, or whatever place to buy books and it will support the author. You could always order overseas but the shipping will cost you an arm and a leg so might as well wait for stuff to reach your country.

EDIT: here you can see date is November 14 2017 for release, you can even preorder

According to CrunchyRoll and Wikipedia, the DVD/Blu-Ray was supposed to be released on August 21.

Chara-ani Youjo Senki: Tanya Degurechaff Scale PVC Figure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C7V35PD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ONRjDbT2CRTY4

Can you get a kindle? I have all 6 books on my kindle, the new models are shit but if you can get your hands on a paperwhite it uses magnets n' shit to create a screen that resembles actual paper and can be read in the sunlight, unlike the LCD screen on the nook and modern kindle.(as a drawback it can only display black and white)

But, if you can find a 3rd generation paperwhite, you can get the books on your Kindle and go ham. If you'd like an actual book, then amazon ships to Indonesia though the shipping may cost more than the actual book.

I can imagine any number of twists from Being X, such as Tanya being sent to Indochina in a French uniform, or made into the king of Hell, or forced to take over Being X's job.

Another twist might be that Being X is cheating, and has stopped Tanya from ageing so she can't die a natural death. Call it the Casca Longinus option, with some tweaking, of course.

> In WWII Germany, the US engaged in indiscriminate bombing of Dresden

In WWII, all strategic bombing was "indiscriminate," thanks. If the Germans wanted to be precision bombed, why did they put up AA? No pilot will fly down to the deck if you put up tons of that stuff.

Also, you left out the United Kingdom, thanks.

I will never tire of pointing out that the Allied strategic bombing campaign happened for two reasons:

1. The British refused to invade France even by 1943, and
   
2. Stalin was screaming for a second front.
   
   Putting aside Stalin's guilt over the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, he had a point. Clearing North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea in 1942 was undoubtedly a good idea, since Britain could ship to and from the BMI theater, which relieved American forces in the Pacific. You could make a case for taking Sicily to box in Italy (which should never have been invaded), as well.
   
   Churchill had a good idea about using the Ljubljana Gap to invade Mitteleuropa without having to muck all across France but, sadly, no one took him up on it. An Allied invasion into Trieste and environs in 1943 would have meant Operation Tidal Wave, against the Ploiești oil fields, would have had a round trip ~2000 km shorter than from their actual base in the Mandate of Palestine. That would have crippled Germany.
   
   > to clear a route for the red army to invade.
   
   The Battle of Berlin began before the Battle of Dresden. Dresden was a shipping hub to the Wehrmacht and SS, not the path to Berlin.
   
   As for indiscriminate civilian casualties, I was unaware that Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Ernest J. King, no one's idea of a soft touch, had visited Saipan until I read Hornfischer:
   
   > “Saipan was filled with horror, but it was during these securing days that we came upon the worst of the nightmares,” Robert Graf wrote. The Fourth Marine Division history records that “Mothers and fathers stabbed, strangled, or shot their screaming children, hurled them into the sea and leapt in after them, all in view of Marines on top of the cliffs. Surrender pleas were largely in vain. Many who wished to do so were prevented by Japanese soldiers.” — Hornfischer, James, The Fleet at Flood Tide, ch 24.
   
   "A true man would rather be the shattered jewel (gyokusai), ashamed to be the intact tile."
   
   > What the top commanders saw at Marpi Point shocked them. Preserved on the rocks below the cliffs was “the crowning horror of Japanese lunacy,” King would write: the bodies of hundreds of civilians, “egged on by the military, [who] had cast themselves from the cliffs…in an orgy of self-destruction.” They drove south to Garapan, past the cliffs where Saito and Nagumo had taken their lives. Two realities were made clear to the U.S. Navy brain trust: A great victory was at hand in the Central Pacific, and far worse lay ahead. — ch 25.
   
   Then:
   
   > Likewise, the American firebombing of Tokyo fit many definitions of indiscriminate.
   
   The B-29 was immune to Japanese AA, but being so high put the bombers into the jet stream, making bombing even more imprecise over Japan than over Germany. LeMay then made the decision to switch the B-29s to incendiaries, using, as horrible as it sounds, the cities to burn down the factories:
   
   > Curtis LeMay would continue the high-altitude precision raids for another forty-nine days, to no better result. At that point he resolved to change dramatically the nature of the effort. A firebombing campaign just might be the fix. LeMay was about to change the way the XXI Bomber Command waged war. — ch 29.
   
   LeMay ordered leaflets dropped over 5-6 cities, noting that one of them would be flattened by the USAAF soon, in an attempt to eliminate civilian casualties without giving the Japanese military a target.
