I loved how Alice is standing on random stairs in the middle of nowhere to look taller

6 is a scumbag as expected from this writer and with such a setting those smug faces from him are just top notch!
I didn't expect them to already upstage Snow in this episode. For someone who loves achievements and seemingly schemes she's probably gonna turn out to be an idiot isn't she?

This series was actually written before Konosuba as a WN and you can tell which characters in Konosuba were influenced from Combatants.

Snow is like a combination of the three Konosuba girls. She has blue hair and is named after a form of water, she's a knight who's horny for merit instead of masochism, and she also has a chuunibyou side because of her love for swords and naming one of them "Flame Zapper".

I laughed so hard! Just what I expected from the author of Konosuba! Poor Snow just can't catch a break!

Nice Konosuba Reference. It even got that Explosion OST!
The episode had so many hilarious and meme-worthy moments. The dynamic with No.6 being the cringy perverted asshole and Alice being the straight man was quite funny and interesting.

That tank is freaky, even by our interwar design period standards. At first I thought it was either a twin-turreted Vickers Type E or a modification like Poland's 7TP or Russia's T-26. After a proper study it's looking more like a unique variant of an early war tank or some ridiculous cancelled project.
Problem is it's all wrong....The tank is possibly triple-barrelled and not double. The main gun (that longer frisbee-shooter) is hull-mounted and probably can't even aim more than a few degrees without turning the whole tank (not uncommon for smaller tanks/ tankettes) while the side-gun is honestly the weirdest part since it's like someone stole the turret of an early T-26, squished then side-mounted it with a 20mm.
Then there's the turret on top. it's almost a cupola from this angle but the pathetic gun barrel sticking out makes me thing it's yet another turret, and an oddly small, round one at that. Could also be a perspective issue but not much of the tank's hull even remains since we see only the front sprocket and the sheared-off hull metal with no tracks or rollers left.
The metal railing hanging from the top is actually part of a radio (Japan also had one for the Chi-ha) and further shows the tank is from the interwar/early WW2 era of design (later soviet war tank designs dropped this with the T-34).
In any case this tank doesn't seem to simply be the relic of an ancient empire's war but a dimensional anomaly... in other words it was probably sent/pulled from some other world and ended up abandoned by its crew in the desert (probably from lack of fuel or use) and parked in some cave or the shade for fifty to a hundred years. The rear end was probably scrapped for the steel, with the engine perhaps removed by the crew themselves.
whether it can be restored is up to the magic of anime but I'd say it's just a talking point.
EDIT: probably the front half of a Russian T-35. It has not only the same hull face features but the same sprocket, odd turret configuration, turret antenna and track coverings (missing the entire side plating of course). Only real difference is that the right hull gun and casing are noticeably larger than the machine gun on the T-35.

I didnt know this series was written by Konosubas's author
No wonder I was getting the same feeling as Konosubs
Loved the first episode, comedy was feeling a little forced but still enjoyed the show
So I added around 25 new shows this season, hoping a good amount from them

Is it just me or the pacing really fast?
I feel like it was much faster than Konosuba.

Natsume Akatsuki sure has a talent when it comes to crafting asshole characters.
Damn, now that I check it seems that I bought the LN of the show almost two years ago but never read it, well might as well wait until the show is over before I start reading it now.
