Tbf, the series started off being mainly based in WWI. That being said, they’ve slowly been bringing in more tech and figures from WWII.

I was really uninterested in the fascist is the protag anime, but y’all enjoy.

I want to preface this by saying it’s perfectly fine for anyone to not enjoy this series. I just want to mention this in case anyone is silently judging viewers:
It’s fine to enjoy shows with flawed/evil protagonists so long as both the creators and viewers recognize that fact. That style of protagonist can make for some brilliant writing.
Seeing as the title refers to Tanya as evil, and the fact she repeatedly horrifies and scares everyone else, I think it’s pretty hard for a viewer to see her as anything but a villain.

Yes, there are plenty of people mature enough to separate the atrocities committed by an MC and their enjoyment of said MC
The issue is the ones who aren’t. And there are a lot of them

The ones who aren’t were already lost causes, meaning they were already fascists.
The series isn’t sarcastic like Starship Troopers or Helldivers. And yes, sarcasm is problematic because it’s supposed to be subtle enough that psome people don’t get the joke.
Instead, this show is really in your face about how Tanya is the villain. You won’t have the same problem
