MomongaxTanya when?

>implying Pandora wasn't Tanya.

Momonga X Tanya complaining about their past salary lives when?

just read the manga chapter about 40 years in the future. how does the empire even lose? does Tanya purposefully manipulate the empire to lose for its long-term survival?

High command is retarded and didn't listen to Tanya.

By win, did you expect them to conquer France, Scandinavia, Russia, and UK? It seems like the Empire still exists, so maybe they stalemated, like Tanya wanted.

The Empire still exists, if the Kaiser still ruled today even after "losing" WWI I would count it as a win.

Didn't WWII teach you about super weapons don't win wars?

Consider the encroaching Will of God upon Tanya's mind.
Next, think about how Herr Shuggel (or whatever) is cloistered in a coven and, yet, still surrounded by G-men.

Obviously, Tanya is alive by the 1960s. Second, Her background is protected by a (or THE) religious order. This makes me think she either succumbed or 'went with it' as she became pseudo-pious. I expect to see her wear a funny hat and a long white robe in the future, sitting on a golden throne.

>super weapons don't win wars

???

Normal super weapons don't.
Super super weapons might. Nukes are kind of an outlier.

>sitting on a golden throne
We need to make God Empress route canon.

>>super weapons don't win wars
>???
You are assuming that the two sides are otherwise equal. The point is that super weapons take too much resources to turn the tide of battle. If you are losing due to inferior manufacturing capabilities then super weapons wouldn't change that.

And since the only reason you even need a superweapon is if you are losing, then there is no reason to build superweapons at all.

They don't, nukes didn't even win the pacific. The US already won after sinking the Japanese carrier fleet and the sequence of events afterwards didn't matter in the slightest.

super weapons can't melt steel beams

Did you know that the decision to drop Atom Bomb is because Japan will fight till the bitter end? Nukes matter as a main strategic point to win the pacific war.

It was also to test the weapon out and, like you said, to hasten the end of the war. The US didn't want to needlessly waste the lives of it's soldiers in a land invasion of Japan, and also didn't want Russia to get their grubby commie hands into Japan. (Which they were likely to do since they finished things with Germany)

Those are MPs, not cultists
It may take another year or two, but US can pound Japan to submission with conventional weapons by then. The nukes were dropped both as field tests (note how drastic the design of two differ) and accelerate the surrender of Japan to the US for the fear of the Soviets taking over continental East Asia.

>super weapons can't melt steel beams
The amusing thing is, the entire /m/ is basically about superweapons. And that the majority of the stories are about "what if superweapons actually worked?"

Gundam being the most obvious example, but so is Yamato.

Gundam being unusual in that the original series portray an alternate WW2 very well. The Spacenoids invented giant robots, but then Earth had far superior manufacturing, so Earth built a Gundam. And then while Spacenoids chased the Gundam all over the place, Earth traditional forces just overwhelmed the giant robots with superior numbers. In the original series the Gundam didn't actually win the war. The greater manufacturing capacity did.

And Yamato is the ultimate fantasy, of course. The idea that a single high tech ship is suppose to change the course of a war. It is nice to dream.

>Those are MPs,
In a coven...
>not cultists
Who said anything about cults?

>However, the moment we asked about V600 Mr Schugel who was about to answer was stopped by the Military Police who was keeping watch.

There's a whole lot wrong in that statement.
First of all, there's a difference between superweapons and propaganda weapons.
Secondly, both types of weapons are necessary as the goal of warfare is never extermination, but rather, scaring the enemy into submission and making sure your dudes aren't scared into submission.

Third, many super weapons do not even use the same sort of production facilities and resources as conventional weapons do. This is why they tend to get so much funding, because practically speaking, they are not taxing the war effort.
People who make poison gas cannot be magically used to make tanks and guns and you can't suddenly turn mustard gas into bullets.

Poison gas is not even a superweapon, we stopped using them not because of morality but because it isn't that useful against trained soldiers with ABC equipment.

Superweapons in real life tend to waste massive amounts of resources. If you can invent superweapons for cheap, I would love to see it.

...

Poison gas was considered a superweapon in WW1

>burger education

They dropped the nukes to intimidate the Russians and stop the war before they got their shit pushed in.

>Poison gas was considered a superweapon in WW1
Considered, but functionally not that many soldiers died from it. Poison gas did not decide the war one way or another.

Now see if you all just converted to Momonganizm you wouldn't be having Sup Forums problems.

I wonder how Momonga and Tanya would get along.

Are you a Belkan?

Bullets didn't kill that many soldiers during napoleonic wars.

GLORY TO BELKA!

[Spanish guitar in the background]

Depends who is older. I think momonga would be sempai and tanya would like to live under the protection of momonga

Did anyone save the spoiler summaries of the LNs?

Can ya post em here?

Ainz is a P2W trash.

...

Battle was too easy. I was expecting a mistake to be made, but this was a piss easy mission for Tanya. She needs a challenge.

What battle?

Didn't poison gas while never strictly forbidden was heavily frowned upon by almost every nation after the first few initial uses and was one reason why it didn't kill as many.

Romania was going to be a piss easy mission for anyone it got assigned to. More so for a battalion of mages.

>Not posting the English version

Plot twist, Momonga was actually Tanya's boss

>how does the empire even lose?
Crippling
German
Autism

depends on which world war they want to follow

if WWII: the two major mistakes would be attacking Russia in winter and letting a pincer like attack happen where the eastern and western front at relatively the same time

if WWI: The sheer incompetence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who where their allies and the whole reason why germany got involved in the war.

Those smiles are worth protecting.

My hero. Thanks.

Vol 5+ I think hasn't been summarised yet.

>Ainz is a P2W trash.
If everyone is P2W trash then no one is.

Spotted the secondary fag.

No it just means everyone is trash

It's the same like calling WoW players P2W trash because they pay subscription :^)

>Tanya: I want a desk job because I keep getting court-martial'd
>Zettour: WTF? Y U no fight?
>Rerugen: kids her age gets grumpy if scolded

In this age of WOW, you get other people to pay your subscription and play for gold.

>Tanya: I want a desk job because I keep getting court-martial'd
>Zettour: WTF? Y U no fight?
>Rerugen: kids her age gets grumpy if scolded
kek

>Tanya: Yay I got a desk job in Strategic Research Room
>Zettour: Hey I want you to research this Kampfgruppe thing, in action that is
>Tanya: FFFFUUUU
KEK

poor loli cant catch a break

Tanya is from 21st century though.

I got the impression that Satoru was a team lead or something, not a department head or CEO.

>You will never spill your guts on the battlefield for this smile

>volume 7
>still a loli
FUCK FUCK FUUUUCK THICC TANYA WHERE

Would you prefer this artstyle?

Tanya x African Cock doujins when?

>Loli
Dude, she looks ~14 yo

i want quality discussion, not a porn search.

plz

Hell no. Can't say what triggers me more that duckface or Rurigen's hair.

she should have armor made of the computation jewels of all her defeated foes

That guy on the far left unsettles me.

who is generalstab?

I just wish the not-Russian chick didn't look like a fucking tarsier.

>mfw second part of last episode

What, are you telling me those two share the author?
How do you write something as mind-numbingly bad as Overlord and then do something that's actually fun?

Nah, the authors are just friends.

I see then.
I really hoped to like Overlord but it wasted all of its potential.

basically poison gas was so horrible in WW1 that EVERYONE decided not to use it in WW2 (Hitler had been briefly blinded by poison gas in WW1 and he decided not to use it in case it made the allies use it too.)

In general poison gas was too dependent on the weather and the had to be followed up with arty bombardments and quick infantry penetrations to be effective. After a while tanks made trench warfare obsolete and gas became less effective.

How so?

In other words you had other expectation for it and salty about a author not meeting it.

Or did you only watched the anime? The anime hooked me into reading the LN and i didnt regret it at all.

>Or did you only watched the anime?
I watched the anime, gave it a 3 and never looked back.

>uploaded Feb. 7, 2016

i guess to help newfags?

I wonder what point the anime will reach up to

Pv when

So anyone else think the dub sounds pretty alright?

>Rommy

So Youjo Senki isn't really "WWI", it's more like a true Great War that basically combined WWI and WWII.

fucking yes

Ainz was just using IM, you shall now the worst p2w player, that is me.
>Use IM
>Buy those shinny equipment RMT
>Use powerleveling service
>Use daily quest completion service
My full equipment literally $$, please understand, I don't have any confidence to refine my equipment higher than +3

Overlord's LN, by the more recent volumes, is approaching a true novel in both length and quality.

I mean Seikai no Senki and Ginei tier. It's not there YET, but it's a huge outlier among this Kado LN generation.

German for "General Staff"

I actually thought it was a general who got stabbed.

Still a pettan, a fucking pettan washboard flat autobahn.

Rommel was part of WW1 too

jesus, this novel is hilarious

Tanya needs to grow up fast to get out of Beria's strike zone

I don't believe you, considering how bland and by-the-numbers the anime was. It had a unique premise and then it intentionally devolved into a generic fantasy when Ainz gimped himself to pretend and be a normal adventurer.

Fighting Brits and Free France in Africa?

She isn't that flat in the later volume pics. German girls are classy, don't compare them to Russian pigs (Visha) or Amerifats (Mary)

>German girls
>Tanya

Baccano?

Nah, kicking Romanian asses

what's that shit around her?
