GATE

One thing that irks me is that these guys never even tried to gain more intelligence as to where they are in the universe. They just rolled with "oh, we're in another world", and did not check with the stars as to where they are located in the universe. Or is it just lazy writing?

Shit writing. The shittest. No interest of humans in magic and other supernatural phenomena is another part of this.

Getting high enough quality data about surrounding space around planet takes lots of good astronomical equipment.

They just don't consider it a good payoff for the cost.

because it builds on the ridiculous premise that incompetent nipp seifu can miraculously hold back whole global access to the other world.

>no USA steamrolled over jap to gain access
>no access for investigation purpose civilian
>no systematical study of the world, other than STD research that benefit jar head

i mean, even lelei gained worldly physical knowledge thru japs, how can the japs be soo oblivious to deconstruct the nature of magic in this world

Rory sure looks tall in that pic.

To check constellations? Are you serious? They just need a goddamn telescope.

Pretty sure they would have had scientist doing that off camera

What constelations? You also need distance to stars. No plain telescope for that.
Even worse, just stars might not be enough. Best way to pinpoint your location in space are pulsars.
This all also assumes that they are in the same galaxy.

This is just from quick googling, but the farthest our telescopes can reach is around 15 billion light years away. The universe is 13.8 billion years old, so that means the farthest light we could see is from 13.8 billion years ago. But because of the constant expansion of the universe, the light source's actual distance is now 46 billion light years. In 13.8 billion years, an object 13.8 billion light years away is now 46 billion light years away. Who knows what could have happened in those 13.8 billion years. Maybe a star or a couple isn't there anymore in GATE's perspective. Their planet could be 46 billion light years away now. And these numbers are just from the "observable" part of the universe, I don't wanna read up further than that. Experts welcome to prove me wrong.

There's also the fact that high-tech equipment such as rockets and satellites turn to shit on their planet, according to LNfags. This topic was also discussed in older threads. They were saying something like the gods were fucking with their tech, allowing only some.

I knew Gate writing was bad. But for it to be THIS bad?

I dunno man. Ask the LNfags. I think it was to limit their power. Me, I just love the modern tech fucking up NotRomans.

Its not "modern" if it is limited to stuff 50 years old.

Most "modern" stuff is limited to 50-20 years old anyway. Look at F-4s.

They actually do send some science personnel in, when it starts to be obvious the Gate's long continuous presence begin to fuck over both worlds.
But thats all in Book 4 and anime simply didnt get that far.

Because JAPAN STRONK and this is totally not a whitewash of the occupation of Asian states during WW2

ps: Tojo did nothing wrong

the truth exists beyond the gate

It's just a nip wanking to their fantasies, muh good nippon and somehow not ireelevant lackey of Yankees.
>nips somehow become savior of the new brave world
>going against Murrica
>thinking they are relevant somehow against other countries
In reality this would be a clash between Russia/China etc and USA, Japan would be nothing more ireelavant sack of shit, they don't even have armies, let alone this whole MUH GLORIOUS NIPPON BEING SO HONORABARU and totally don't have imperial ambition and totally did not commit genocide.
Anything else is irrelevant to even bother thinking about it.

This
I just started watching it after hearing someone complain about colonialism and was impressed by a MC who isn't a faggot, but it's a fantasy for nips to pretend they're not a puppet state. It tries just hard enough to lampshade geopolitical reality and nods at it while ignoring it that it's very grating. It tries to play it straight and take the premise seriously and then it doesn't. It has refugees who don't hate the foreign army they could blame for their troubles and don't want handouts? No state department bs, it really is a fantasy world. Elf who's more interested in new husbando than the fact that everyone she ever knew just died. No mention of biological contamination, if there are humans then there's some kind of common origin point and the world closer to that origin is going to have diseases that will wreak the other one (why natives in America got wreaked by European diseases while Europeans got wreaked by African diseases), if a separate origin then both sides will get wreaked by each others diseases.

I could just accept gunsnwaifus but they wave the geopolitics in my face and then say jk we're doing it retard style.

japland is only good for being a naval base for the americans to attack china. that's all america colonized them for anyway.

what a shitty thread.

no u

the same old pasta every thread gets boring.

To be fair they don't have imperial ambition and wouldn't commit genocide, because after their genocidal imperialist expansion America neutered them completely, brainwashed them, rewrote their history, and keep them on a short leash. But yes, it would a be a international nuclear standoff with nips having zero say in the matter.

>Nippon nationalist wanking in their media
It's become so annoying lately and it seems it's not going to stop, fuck off you island hobbits, other then making porn, you are totally worthless as a nation in all terms.

>America neutered them completely, brainwashed them, rewrote their history
>implying

They textbooks say that they "didn't do nuffin" during WW2"
And they still deny what happened in Nanking

is that rwby?

are you fucking retarted?

i dont think so
