Military advancements: Weapons, armor, vehicles, strategies ❌ PASTA ✔️ So Youjo Senki not only did announce season 2, they also gave us a pre-movie OVA. Well played. Objectively, it´s a very light episode with basic story and some poor drawings, which is normal considering they are working on S2. No OP or ED, same OST and limited character expressions also were there. But it was still enjoyable. Like the first dish that comes before the pasta (sorry I had to do it, don´t kill me) Story: 6/10 Art: 5/10 Sound: 7/10Character: 7/10 Enjoyment: 7.5/10 --> 8/10 Overall: 7/10 Should I watch it?: If you have 15 spare minutes, give it a try

Operation Desert Pasta. It was not a choice, it was a necessity. Stationed in the desert to rout their enemy and cut off their supplies, the 203rd battalion is running low on food, water, and spices--- they must conserve what little supplies they have left. Meanwhile, the top brass complains about their agonizingly bland food and recognizes the true need to ship some supplies to the main lines to boost the battalion's morale. There was only one problem with their sentiment, the "supplies" shipped weren't at all what the 203rd battalion needed! There was only Dry Pasta. Tanya and the 203rd battalion recognize there's only oneway to rectify this botched resupply. The 203rd battalion must execute "Operation Desert Pasta" and resupply from their enemies. The result is a lighthearted comic relief episode in the Youjo Senki series! The animation and art are as high quality as the main series. The animation and action were awesome for a short special. Overall, this special was an enjoyable side story since we see the characters being more casual and relaxed than in the main series. There were no high stake missions, but you did get to see a couple of moments of awesome action~ Definitely recommend it if you're a fan of the series!

This is just a nice, short comedic interlude that's not essential viewing...but it is a lot of fun. In short, Tanya and her unit are stationed in the middle of the desert, Water is scarce and their diet is monotonous. So, in a brilliantly stupid way to improve morale and vary their combat rations, the military high command ships in an incalculable quantity of dried pasta. The rest of the story involves the crazy lengths to which Tanya and her mages go to make said pasta tasty. Mayhem ensues. If you like Youjo Senki then this is a nice treat while we all wait for thesecond season. It'll give you a few laughs and it looks really nice too. I can only hope we get a few more of these in the future.

I don't think people understand what actually this OVA meant Basically, want they want to show us (in my perspective of course) is that season two is going to be better at all aspects they worked on You can hear new sound effects for shooting, flying etc. Characters now have new face expressions (like Serebryakov when planning the attack); Improved animation on some aspects like shooting, aiming, explosions and more; THIS is exactly what I wanted, you may not know but, (in my limited knowledge) seems like studio nuts is a recent studio founded in 2017 that had its first anime adaptation be Youjo senki, so after that, they dida FCLC something that I didn't watch, deca dence that I did, and now YS season 2 They are learning throughout the years of experience they have acquired and banged us with this thrilling new OVA showing some improvements I think this is awesome since I really fell in love in this anime's adaptation, I honestly tried reading the manga (I'm not a manga guy anyway) but barely managed to do so, in my POV this extra was a huge success at showing us what season two is going to look like I say all of this based on the fact that I have just re-watched YS season 1 and the movie in the last 2 days, so I really mean the improvements I saw and am commenting about

What do you do when you have pasta but with no flavor? You raid a bunch of supply depots of course. What a rather light hearted side story. You have command sending you pasta but you don't have water what do you do? You get water from raiding their supply depots of course. Then your cooked pasta tastes like flavorless garbage what do you do? You hit dozens of other enemy supply depots to get those supplies. When all said is done the enemy thinks you're some tactical genius hitting bases that are vulnerable but in reality you're being raided for your Italian goods andproducts. If this short did one thing it reminded me how grateful I am to Italy. But uh seriously it's pretty funny and a step back from the main series. I hate to say it but if you're watching this right after the first season or the movie try not to get upset that "its action sucks" well they did name the episode Sebaku no Pasta Daisakusen(Operation Desert Pasta) its your fault for getting your hopes up :/ 7/10
