I honestly didn’t see this coming right after the second season was announced but I’m not complaining, it’s a small little sampler for us fans before the sequel comes out

it was nice hearing that old ED

Oof, that last half a minute of somberness from Tanya came as a harsh reminder that despite the enjoyment she and her company were able to create for themselves, these people are still front-line soldiers in a war where death is still an ever lurking presence behind them. And how such a tiny from our viewpoint can still be something extraordinary from theirs.

Damn, this was good.

And then the ironical ending of the difference between soldiers on the front and the top-brass who give them command. Voila!

Was pleasantly surprised to see this released today. I saw the second season was announced and added to MAL and then right after this aired?? Really awesome. Enjoyed the episode since we got to see such a silly reason for heading into battle but still maintained that subtle sense of seriousness and danger that is present throughout the series.

One of the best 1-episode specials I've seen!

Oh man I missed Tanya and the guys so much! Just about over 10 minutes but seeing the company how they made an incursion to steal enemy's supplies to make pasta was something funny.

That's how you announce a new season, more studios should do business like this. Still remember being stuck with that shoddy Re:Zero Memory Snow OVA for ages.

The visuals were surprisingly good and I enjoyed the comedy, overall a pretty fun OVA, no complaints from me. Watching them enjoy their pasta meal and the enemy thinking it was some sort of really well thought out strategy was funny as well.

This story was surprisingly funny. The soldiers in the series were lamenting their distaste for military cuisine for some time and it is satisfying to see them bend the rules of war just to satiate their need for some proper food.

Tanya is just fan to watch as she is just a great character and Ivanovna Serebrjakov was really funny.

For a simple ONA it was very enjoyable, if only other series had fillers this entertaining.

For an OVA it was freaking hilarious. I liked how the enemies freaked out about a genius plan when Tanya and co were just really raiding to have more stuff to go with their pasta.

Can't wait for S2.

Good fun episode, war continues where the prequel dropped off but is about the side story to solve camp morale. Reminds me there are just days nothing beats a comfort meal. Still waiting for a S2.

The republic thinking about strategy while Tanya actually just wanted good pasta.

And HQ is sending more pasta because they thought it helped raise their morale lol

"Operation Desert Pasta". A well named operation if you ask me.

It was funny how the enemy thought that Tanya and her group were using some strategy.

Really nice light hearted ONA for this series, missed this anime quite a bit, but this was definitely a great watch. Loved the topic this ONA had of ration problems, felt humorous yet some what fitting for the setting this anime is about. I could imagine that being on the front lines in desert and hot climates, would be peak breaking point, especially for me, and so the only thing giving me energy to continue would be what my next ration pack. But if it's going to be bread for a week straight, i might scream.

The idea that the enemy's precise targeted attacks as well, aren't for territory or munitions, but instead solely for our canned goods and tomato sauce, is definitely a next psychological warfare tactic that i dread to ever have to fight against.

Post credit scene was also class, good old command, pasta's only the menu now folks.

BAsically the higher ups forced the desert occupiers of their own force to hit the enemy bases all over...under the guise of looking for sauce and spices and other food stuffs to go with their plain pasta...wow...5.5/10 lol

It was entertaining, but honestly it didn’t bring anything new to the equation. If the position is important in the next work (anime or movie) it would be relevant, but by now, I’m not sure what was intended with developing this. Good to see Tanya and her crew. Also, that camps were attacked like they weren’t expecting a war, just being pulverized. A camp with poisoned food and they all would be dead.
