I wonder if this will be actually canon, Is to my understanding that the novel is over already? I'm waaay behind in the manga but I recently saw the movie.

I could never really get on board with calling Tanya a girl, considering it's a dude inside.

Eh, Tanya was raised from birth as a girl in this other world and seems to have settled into her new identity, even if she still has knowledge from her previous life.

^Might be a personal issue, but I can't see how you can be "raised" as a girl when you already remember an entire life of being a guy. The series is weird in general, but to each their own.

Every single empire in history was bad. There is no good empire. Imperialism is going to create horrible consequences no matter the nationality. Treating Germans like they are automatically nazis is bad and it's even stupider if someone is fine if any other nation does the same things.
Youjo Senki has many flaws, but it's not portraying Nazis.

^^^Its more the being fan of alt Imperial Germany with its militarism with the main character able to do a lot of things in the system.
^I'm not talking about alt Germans being Nazi since they don't exist, its more idolising Prussian militarism that one can easily see in the makeup of Empire though the militarism can still be seen deeper inside the Nazi system anyway.

I loved this series, watched it at least 3 times now, can't say I've had a chance to read it yet though.
Even though he reincarnated as a girl, I don't think they bring it up at all for most of the show. If you didn't know his backstory and didn't see the occasional flashback I'd dare say you'd never even know. They don't do any of the usual genderswap gags or plot lines you'd usually see. Almost as it is just matter of fact that he was reborn as a girl and there's nothing unusual or different about it.

^ That's what I love about Tanya. She's so logical that being a reborn into a girl doesn't even faze her.

That's the magic of not being a depraved as many other genderswap stories tend to exploit, mostly because they choose teenagers in their puberty who's mind is 50% thinking about masturbation.
What I mean is, imagine if Tanya in her previous life had been a woman... Would it change her character? I don't think so at all hahaha, it would still be the same logical person who's obsessed with perfection and hates The X dude. It would've however increased the chances of her eventually marrying a guy.
I say all this as someone who will rarely read a "yuri" with the magical genderswap tag, I think they did it right.

I don't think gender thing was brought up in anime even once. He pretty much took it as a matter of fact he can't change and didn't give any shit about it. He never tried to act more masculine or feminine. He pretty much just acted as himself from life before. Only time he isn't is when he pretends to be a actual innocent kid and it's not really connected to gender. I heard in the novel he actually has inner monologue about it, but his reasoning is still alongside of "I got a body of a woman now, so I guess I'm a woman". I take some issue with basing your identity solely on your biological sex, but again, his reasoning boils down to "it's irrelevant, all that matter is me having a comfy life". I'm calling him "he" out of habit, exactly because anime never addresses it.

Yes, the series of light novels is over. To my knowledge, there wasn't a yuri development (and the MC was still an underaged child by the end), so this is just an example of old good fanshipping.

Also, I would like to point out that the series is based around WW1, which was before the Nazis. The Nazis actually came around as protesting the debts they had after losing WW1, so it is completely impossible for them to be around at that point in time.
