If you can't appreciate GATE then you're probably too busy crying into your tie-dye shirts over Bernie Sanders losing to articulate your complaints.

It's kind of funny to see a competent SDF since they are a bunch of terrible jobbers in pretty much all Japanese media I see.

And they only needed to use helicopter gunships and main battle tanks against medieval infantry to do it.

To be honest, I'd say hovering an AH1 within throwing distance of anything before pulling the trigger might be considered pretty loving negligent.

Now I'm seeing where the right wing stuff is kicking in. The whole world wants a piece of japan's catgirl pie.



[e] I'm no geopolitican but with japan being in the UN wouldn't a bunch of counties have a legitimate reason to send teams to investigate a whole other world? I don't think you can go "naw dog, this portal and literally every thing in it is ours forever" without the entire world cutting you off. You can't Bogart all the elves japan.

I want to write a sequel set in America where we get a gate to a sci-fi world filled with different colored ladies and japan doesn't get any.

So, was that soldier getting hit by an arrow the first japanese casualty in this war or what?

It's a shame, because they are not really fighting a medieval army; they are fighting a medieval fantasy army. Having weaponized magic on the empire's side would have leveled the playing field, but the show refuses to be interesting.

I am so glad that I watched Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There!: The Anime so that I could experience with my own eyes those faux-romans getting totally owned by superior modern technology and superior magic and superior having a loving demigod on your side. Hopefully that was just an anime original ending so that I can keep getting low-effort anachronistic poo poo delivered straight into my gaping mouth.

Okay, the series is over for the time being. Please shut the thread down again so we don't have to watch a bunch of people pretend that they're too good for the show they won't stop watching.

There's 5 novels and my limited knowledge of them suggests that the anime has only covered 3.

There's also like 5 more gaiden novels and a new series of books coming out later this year which this anime was made to promote. No word yet on a second season though.

Apparently, according to the /a/ Gate threads, a large chunk of the second half of the episode was anime original poo poo, and they're blaming A1 Pictures for rushing the ending and leaving out a ton of details and poo poo.

Just because we're all literal trash that watches literal garbage doesn't mean we can't have an opinion on the flavor of our garbage.
