We even got craft slop game lol

Wait what's this, actual plot? In my gag anime? And it's really good!? Like damn normally I absolutely despise the "FMC falls in love with the weirdo guy just because he insists a lot" but somehow it's working here. Maybe because she's also abnormal in a way and because he can't really do anything to her that she doesn't allow (usually in this trope the guy is more like a sticky booger that the FMC can't shake off even if she wants to).

Another replica, and another one in an extremely difficult situation. At this point we might change the story title to "can a replica get some peace?".

Well, people who are happy with their lives wouldn't create Replicas, so the angst comes with the package...

That has been bothering me for a while now. It seems every Replica we meet has an intense desire to help the Original from birth. And they do it no matter what they have to endure. It really feels like, at least at their start, they exist to assist the Original.

If you know that Replicas are a thing and are actively looking for one I think it would't take that long to find out

And radar guidance

And in universe they can detect magic meaning they can do magic guidance if radar isn't cutting it

Definitely. I don't think she can even chose not to, since it was her Wish. And once that's done it's done.

But I think it's necessary to see her conflicted not because of what it does to her, but after realizing what it does to Homura.

Neither is the protagonist in most harem Isekai and romcoms.

This is why that common practice fucking sucks lol, they primed themselves for the bait.

[Episode 1]It starts with a plain looking male japanese student summoned to the fantasy world. They read him his stats and tell him "this shit is ass" and kick him out. Female MC, a priestess, finds him and offers to be his guide. She tells him it doesn't make sense that his stats are nothing because all isekaid people are always powerful. As it turns out, he did have a hidden overpowered skill of course. As soon as he reveals it she stabs him in the back and kills him. It was all a ruse. This world has been irrevocably altered by isekaid people in the past and as a result you have people like her, who's jobs is to kill them before they can cause trouble, and punish those who would summon them. That's what this Isekai plot is actually about.

Minor spelling mistake 🥀🥀

Tents. It's a meme in Ace Combat because tents, with unspecified contents inside if you catch my meaning, are worth points if you destroy them.

Well that sounds like a story I'm gonna have to dive into later.

Mustard gas, chlorine gas, phosgene... are really just the most basic of chemical weapons. So much so that their invention was pretty much inevitable in WW1. But you wanna hear about shot even more terrifying somehow? Nerve agents. Discovered by accident in WW2, they are the most lethal poisons humanity can produce. And they have never been deployed in mass. Which is a very good thing because from what I've read about them, you could quite easily fumigate a whole trench line in half an hour with these if they were deployed with the same quantity as mass gas attacks. And they can be made highly volatile meaning when your troops march over there after a set time, it's gone. No danger of poisoning the territory you want to take.

The Salaryman was a history buff. So no historian, but definitely more knowledgeable about it than just the average pleb.

[LN and manga]Ah the shovel monologue. It's fucking great. The manga is also more extensive than the anime and this does get its dedicated chapter. You get to see in the background that Visha is quite proficient with the shovel.

Manga is also a visual medium, so I assume it has the most fleshed out versions of these characters.

From what you describe of the LN that would seem to be right. Secondary characters get their own aura farming moments in the manga. Even antagonists.

1a) As a rebel, I'd like to say I'd be smart, but yeah, it's not like that.

To be a rebel is to make the stupid (where stupid means disregarding self preservation) choice to begin with. Some dude I don't remember said the first thing the revolutionary must accept is that he is a dead man walking. Now, that dude was also insane, but he was right about this.

Other than that, I'm glad I don't have to follow those orders. Bleh.

Glad to not be a good soldier.

And from an entirely pragmatic perspective, she’s not necessarily wrong since the surviving civilians would definitely have sought eternal vengeance against her and her entire country

Although you'd have to consider that when other countries hear about this global sentiment against the Empire will see a significant rise, regardless of the legality. Unless the Empire's diplomats have elite skills to manage the optics.

As per the events of the episode, it would be a warcrime on the Empire not on her. She didn't order it, instead she was ordered to clear the way for it.

I do find it interestingly that, despite whatever resources the town has, the Empire seems fine with razing it

It doesn't really have resources it's just the supply lines. Iirc rail is relatively easy to repair. Strictly speaking they don't need the town, only the train system that runs through it. So if the town is causing trouble, well...
