Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 10
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 10. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. So this episode started from the operation Tanya started in the previous episode. I thought the Republicans noticed when they arrived but they didn't, so it was a mission to keep themselves hidden and attacked Republic's communications HQ. Well, because the V-1 flew way higher than most people fly so they couldn't detect nor notice them. And Tanya and Visha killed soldiers like assassins and brought down the one building, but it was empty. Tanya wanted to check the status from others but they didn't respond. It was great that she looked upset for this critical mission. But it was successful on both groups after a couple of attempts and they left the HQs.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 9
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 9. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. After the last episode, Tanya thought about the strategy in Arena City. And she thought she didn't get her hands dirty. I thought she was more of a criminal-minded person so it was unexpectedly different.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 8
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 8. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. There was a rebellion in the Arcane City and Republic also joined, and the 203rd battalion must invade the city. So unlike previous 2 episodes, the enemy wasn't weak nor was the attack a surprise. When they attack with a common sense, it was going to be rough because the battlefield will be in a city, and there were civilians in the battlefield. Besides, republic soldiers were there. Tanya was ordered to eliminate the Republic and the rebel from an upper commander but he also wondered why people wanted to become soldiers. The thing was, theoretically speaking, under the international law, anyone who remained in the city after the fight was declared counted as a Republican soldier, which sounds merciless.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 7
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil season 1 episode 7. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. This episode was no comedy but drama. At first, the story began from the point of Major in the Entente alliance. He said goodbye to his daughter, Mary, and wife because they left a city, and he got a christmas gift from Mary. That was a submachine gun, and he wore it.

Anime style lightning effect
Contents Lightning animation 1. Base layer 2. Core lightning layer Variations of Advanced Lightning Bouncey Anywhere I appreciated the next video which explains how to make the effect in details. Lightning animation This section was written on July, 2026. Next animation was the one I made by following steps: 1. Base layer Create new solid layer Add an effect Advanced Lightning and set following properties: Glow Settings > Forking to 0, to remove lightning hairs Change other settings on Glow settings and Core Settings to get what you want Animate the layer by Clicking the stop watch on the Conductivity State Set the different values of Conductivity State in a few key frames 2. Core lightning layer This will change the color of the core of the lightning to the color you want It's because core and glow settings use screen-style blend instead of normal blend. So if the core color is a bright color like white, this isn't necessary.

First thoughts after watching Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 16
I am a light novel reader for this series and this note includes a spoiler. I watched Classroom of the Elite, COTE, season 4, episode 16, which was the final episode in this season. It was a great episode with a lot of fighting scenes and worth watching as anime. At first, Horikita found the note that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji will be expelled in I-2, and decided to go there. She met Ibuki and then Amasawa in the middle of the way. And Ibuki left in order to get more points than Horikita. Afterward, Horikita started talking to Amasawa, and Amasawa was just trying to provoke her about not knowing Ayanokoji well enough and tried to block her. She felt it was going to fight so she prepared to fight and Amasawa started. Obviously, Horikita couldn't win against Amasawa; she was thrown with Judo, and then Amasawa kicked her and knocked her down. But Amasawa's goal was to buy her time. Afterward, she stood up and Amasawa tried to punch Ibuki, but Ibuki caught her fist. Well, it's a little weird to me that Amasawa couldn't see Ibuki even though she was in front of her. Anyhow, they started fighting against Amasawa together. Time by time they argued with each other about a few things, and each time, Amasawa just watched them without attacking. It was good because obviously, her purpose wasn't to win against them, or at least she underestimated them. Then Horikita learned something from Amasawa and told Ibuki about it, and then Amasawa suddenly froze and took a hit from both of them. Then Horikita and Ibuki found out she had taken damage on the side of her belly. And Amasawa allowed them to pass by, because she had earned enough time. If that hit had come from Tsukishiro, it would defeat her purpose of being able to stop anyone who was trying to reach the place. Or maybe she didn't do what she was told and he didn't care. In terms of animation, Amasawa's fighting was so smooth as she moved against 2 people, and it was patently obvious she was so agile and powerful in that fight.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 6
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 6. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. So unlike the previous episode, this episode was pretty serious. The HQ in the Empire needed the 203rd battalion to go to the Norden, and Tanya left. And she also predicted there were some other countries intercepting the Empire, like the Republic. And also she guessed Being X was involved.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 5
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 5. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. It was funny that Tanya never talked what she really wanted to anyone and other people also tried to do what she didn't want them to do. Visha was a very capable assistant that she made the team got up to speed but Tanya really want to make team setup delayed. She even did the same interview with Zuttour and got extra time for trainings. She asked only a short amount of time and Zuttor allowed, but other people didn't believe that a training can be only done in a month. Well, she obviously failed to do expectation management.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 4
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 4. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. This might be the most peaceful episode for Tanya. Tanya studied in a university for a half year. She answered a use case in the university perfectly in a class. Well, she was just an employee in a company in her past life, how could she know these things? Or was that easy enough to learn in a half year? In a day, she took care of a rifle in the afternoon while others were out in the classroom, and from other people, she was someone who really wanted to go back to the front lines and wanted to fight, which was exactly the opposite of what she wanted.

Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 3
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 3. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again. So, this episode solved my question I had in the episode 1. It started that Tanya was about to move to the science department in a lab. But she was trying not to make bad impressions that she didn't want to come back to the front line to her boss, so she showed she reluctantly accepted it. Well, that obviously caused a miscommunication, I guess, because it was so indirect.
