EPISODE REVIEWS

Zettour's face when Ildoa announced neutrality said everything. They committed troops to a withdrawal relying on roads that just got cut off. The world-building here is so grim because it's accurate to how actual alliances crumbled in WW2

The chibi segment saved this episode for me honestly. Tanya trying to climb that lookout ladder because she's too short while Visha and Weiss just watch her struggle. This show knows exactly when to puncture its own grim tone

Major Helmu is instantly my favorite new character. That flamboyant professionalism bouncing off Tanya's deadpan misery was too good. Also that final homeland message at the end has me nervous for what's coming next
