Gate has been described as what happens when another country portrays it's military the way American media like to portray the U.S. military. It's not an inaccurate description. But yeah, the whole, "our most overtly sexualized character is a 900 year old demi-god, she only looks like a child" trope? Gate actually does that.

And apparently, it gets less obnoxious/nationalistic/creepy with each iteration. Light novel < Manga < Anime.

IIRC that anime had a line where the JSDF soldiers were appalled at the atrocities that were commonplace on the other side of the gate, like taking comfort women and slaughtering prisoners, and remarked something to the effect of “Imagine if We Japanese ever did something so heinous. We would be no better than… the Americans!” with a completely straight delivery

The Gate JSDF anime series was apparently also partially financed by the actual JSDF, used in recruitment ads, and led to some measurable uptick in enlistment

Pick up chicks in another world, bring em back to Japan and have to crash at your ex-wife's apartment, then whine about missing Comiket the whole time while reminding everyone that you are JSDF And in true military fashion - Get arrested at the end of the anime for bringing your otherworldly harem to Comiket by accident and causing an uproar. Ex wife witnesses your arrest. Also be the laziest man in the military while also the most effective. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jul 15, 2024 |

The "good news" for Russia I guess is that multiply examples of those models have probably been captured by various Ukrainian farmers so I doubt theres too much NATO doesn't already know.
