I really enjoyed it. Especially seeing an entire trained and fully equipped soldiers get destroyed by machine guns and seeing the awe and terror in everyone's faces. Where was that helicopter scene from?
>Where was that helicopter scene from?
Apocalypse Now.
Americans just hate being villified without getting some kind of advantage even in a Japanese harem show.
season 3 never ever
It was fine.
People objected to the part where Delta Force and Spetsnaz and PLA special forces were all made out to be bumbling morons who have never heard of night vision goggles, so that the JGSDF could look awesome.
Like you said a complete and utter domination of another world with no good set up or conflict
MC is an Otaku but is classified as a good solider
Nothing in the series feels like it has weight in what's happening lowering the drive of attention
Character designs in the anime were shit.
That's why I love it
Japan hasn't been able to be proud or strong militarily in decades.
Give them a chance to indulge, the way things are going they might get some more toys and money from Uncle Sam in the coming months
Agreed on every point
It's so absurdly puerile. It's wanking so hard that the dick has come off.
B-but america
Sounds like you might be too smart for anime my man, might I suggest books, travel and language study
"""People""" like these anons get so assblasted they make their own subreddit and rewrite the series with their fanfiction

Why can't Americans handle being stupid villains that didn't prepare enough for the otherworld visitors?
Why write Gate fanfics without elements that make Gate like it is?
There's lots of other military novels out there with the white man as the leader, why force it in a Japanese one?
Do I spy a motherfucking GATE thread?
>Do you guys hate fun or something?
just butthurt Amerifats
>Otaku MC
>shitty version of mixing modern shit and fantasy shit
>JSDF masturbation
but please, go ahead and do your 'it's just fun' defense because that's all that you have
it was stupid but look at every rambo movie where helicopters get blown up by goddamn bows and arrows
who gives a fuck its a cartoon
rory also a best
>MC is an Otaku but is classified as a good solider
Ins't that part of the joke? Most of the characters react the same. You may not find it funny but it is an anti-trope executed pretty well.
>military masturbation is bad
>saying that while living in a country where video games fellate the military
okay steve
I didn't think it was bad I just didn't think it was intresting or was able to successfully keep my attention very well
It's just incredibly average all around and having fanservice be a focal point of a incentive to watch is just retarded when I just watch porn
Prime minister is an otaku too. Japan invented human rights and won WWII with one samurai.
I mean, 'murrica is pretty frequently the bad guy in anime. I just smile and nod.
"Love thy country but hate thine government"
Waiting to get v@
I can hear her voice.
>having fanservice be a focal point of a incentive
I never thought this once. Fanservice being a main incentive is the point of school battle harems like IS or DXD. The anime has like one bath scene.
*just can watch porn
Also finding all of these things in this post is pure autism >actually visiting Reddit
>actively reading fanfiction.com
For shame user
Meh at least American game devs bother to give the virtual arabs aks Gate flat out gives the jsdf a 2000 year tech advantage of course they curb stomp
And that's why Battle Harems have almost always been the lowest form of anime entertainment
examples? besides gate of course
just a simple google search to set proof
I enjoyed the show a lot but never dipped into the manga/ln until after the show.
Unless you are a /k/ fag or really strict about adaptations the show is fine.
merrican here, it wasn't so much that aside from every /k/omrade was a fucking aussie tier shitposter in the threads
Instead of making it anti-trope, why just make a good version of the trope? Why not just have an actual band-of-brothers-esque military adventure without the necessary crap like isekai/mixing with fantasy shit/ having the need to put cute girls?
best VA
best party member
best waifu
best demigod
here is the thing, from the original webnovel, the americans are actually badly equipped for the mission. the guys they have are mostly former soldier mercs hired by the CIA, who only just saw 1 tour of duty in Afghanistan. the only legit operator in the American team is the leader who is ambidextrous. you can see this in the anime, where the men are young as hell, while the leader is the only gruff guy, but this little detail is lost in transition from the WN to LN to anime.
Then why the fuck do you care what Reddit thinks?
Enjoy what you want to enjoy and I'll state what I dislike about it. That doesn't make either of us wrong
this isn't a detriment to the series
gate isn't even a harem.
would that even sell in japan?
I liked the Manga better since it was drawn by a military Otaku with a retro artstyle.
And it's so much fun to watch.
also, for plausible deniability, they got equipments and clothes from local gunota store. the guns are the only ones they smuggled in, so the lack of nv equipment.
Of course a modern army would default a medieval army, with 100's of years of technological innovation and the evolution of military tactics and strategy. Along with a much larger natural resource availability and population to grow the forces, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I can't even find the fun you want me to not hate. I'd have fun if the reverse premise happened, with knights, wizards, orcs. and dragons or whatever opening a portal and using magic to overwhelm our military's armed forces and occupied a city or country, and earth had to unite against this much more powerful foe.
>Type 89, M9 Nip Uzi, FN Minimi, all prominently used
I can get the same from plenty of games. Sure, the M9 is a bit rare, but any anime that shows the JSDF will have 89's, and the Minami / M249 is quite popular as well.
>Solid character designs
>F a n s e r v i c e
From what Google is showing me, I'm not seeing anything special.
>JSDF actually gets to see action
>Recruiting propaganda
I admit, you got me there. I'd personally like the Americans to permanently withdraw from Japan, especially Okinawa, and we can't really well have that without Japan growing it's armed forces and their budget. Full steam ahead, GATE.
>Why not just have an actual band-of-brothers-esque military adventure without the necessary crap like isekai/mixing with fantasy shit/ having the need to put cute girls?
Because those already exist and nobody else has made isekai/mixing with fantasy military themed books.
>Japan hasn't been able to be proud or strong militarily in decades.
They are though, they're the 4th or 5th naval power. The population for the most part has 0 interest in projecting force however.
I know but that doesn't change the fact that Battle Harems aren't shit
I worded that part poorly:
You can list what you like and I can list what I dislike, but that doesn't make either of us wrong
why remove the things that make GATE, GATE?
Because Sup Forums is reddit central already. And I refuse to post in that shithole.
because every one in Japan, Tomino included will have a massive bitchfit "FEUDALISM AGAIN, BLARGH!!!"
>an actual band-of-brothers-esque military adventure
Right here.
To make a good product
I don't know, ask them If they wanted to write straight military novels with fantasy elements they're free to publish their own too. I don't understand the need to bash the author's writing, race, and preferences because you don't agree with it.
This user knows his shit.
>CIA
>Agency that decides to give one of the most important missions in its history to shit tier mercs.
Choose one. Even if SAD SOG was busy, they can easily divert Delta/DEVGRU, especially for something as important as that mission. Hell, pretty fucking sure the Green Berets and normal SEALs could've done it.
Just wait until you get to the bayonet outranges spears and cuts through armor scene.
>I admit, you got me there. I'd personally like the Americans to permanently withdraw from Japan, especially Okinawa,
why
I mean, you do have to remember that Japan is a nation where the Navy basically took over the country. That shit leaves a bit of a bad taste in everyone's mouths.
The navy is beefy, everything else seems crippled
How many of the youth do you think would be fit for service in the event of a draft?
It's because the anime is super watered down and changed the designs to shit.
We wanted the ultraviolence of the manga (which, incidentally, is what war is actually fucking like), not neutered trash.
You can buy NV for pretty fucking cheap at any outdoors store. And I have hard time to believe that the CIA couldn't find a way to bring in more military gear, considering that the US has literal bases in Japan.
The one page that started it all.
it wasn't even fun after the first two episodes as it turned into one dude in a jeep with his shitty harem
The Muhrines I know who've been stationed there hate it.
The people don't like them much and it's hot, a lot of the time.
If we leave, the Japs are gonna have to pull their weight and maybe the youth will give a shit again
>Cheap
>Wearable NV
And even then the novels it's based off are supposedly toned down from the original web novels.
just go rewatch band of brothers or make reddit-tier fanfiction where Americans win or something
>band of brothers
That's a gay boyband
>good product
Gate sells merch, got an anime, vol 11 is releasing this October so it's a good product
Meanwhile (((well written))) work such as Salvation War or Rome Sweet Rome don't got movies or push merch so they're shitty products
>JGSDF is crippled
>has a cutting edge MBT, an active stealth fighter project, 150k well trained personnel, and good domestic versions of most important equipment.
I think the only part that really triggered people was the hot springs visit.
HO-LEE-FUK
The manga looks 100x better
Definitely dropping the anime and reading the manga for the duration
A few thousand dollars is nothing for the CIA.
>people
please exclude the ruskies and the chinks
only one country was autistic enough to get personally insulted
>with knights, wizards, orcs. and dragons or whatever opening a portal and using magic to overwhelm our military's armed forces and occupied a city or country, and earth had to unite against this much more powerful foe.
There's that one clip of a bunch of archers shooting a hail of arrows against a bunch of apaches. I think it was from a video game, but it was anime.
>Gate sells merch, got an anime, vol 11 is releasing this October so it's a good product
By that reasoning, the Bay Transformers movies are some of the best films ever.
this story takes place in 2006, where america is occupied in ME. even the president admits he can't meddle too much because they are spread too thin.
the only available people they have is some CIA SAD in Japan. and they dont want to use the people in okinawa, because they needed more plausible deniability.
You said good product, not best film or best written
A good product is something that sells
Stop moving goalposts you mong
>Otakushit masquerading as 'muh military'
This one?
A BEST
I don't think there are that many Russians or Chinks posting on Sup Forums, and Chinks will never stop being butthurt at Japan anyways.
>is occupied in ME
Not all SOF teams are deployed at once you know. They rotate deployments.
>CIA SAD
Which draw from Delta and DEVGRU, so they should be more than enough capable to subdue the nips.
I'm a different fag, user.
Gate shows how truly pitiful and inferior the Japanese consider themselves to be. America makes movies about the US military defeating alien civilizations that have vastly superior technology. By contrast, the Japanese in their popular media portray themselves defeating primitive civilizations having vastly inferior technology. It's like Japan lost all its confidence and national pride after WW2 or something.
>couldn't use the WMD excuse
>couldn't use the chemical weapons excuse
>couldn't use the Bin Laden excuse
Americans should really have had an excuse ready so they could use the Okinawan detachment
>It's because the anime is super watered down and changed the designs to shit.
>We wanted the ultraviolence of the manga (which, incidentally, is what war is actually fucking like), not neutered trash.
You do realize the manga is itself an adaptation yes? The anime designs are based on the light novel designs.
Rory always made things more exciting.
This is just kind of depressing.
What's exciting about watching such a one-sided fight?
>If we leave, the Japs are gonna have to pull their weight and maybe the youth will give a shit again
They have one of the biggest military forces out of any developed nation.
I believe Chinks are banned from posting unless they have a pass, but I get the feeling there are plenty of slavs running around.
>What's exciting about watching such a one-sided fight?
Americans seem to enjoy it when it happens irl though
Well, they got beat pretty badly. Don't worry. Shows like GATE show they're ramping up the nihongo nationalism in preparation for the 2nd Korean War and a Sino-Americna War.
None of this bullshit would've happened if the author actually put some thought into how the nips could've actually won against three tier 1 SOF teams. Depriving the Rusians, Chinese, and Americans of basic equipment was not a good excuse.
dragons are spooky
Kinda always assumed that every country hired mercs with no ties to them outside word of mouth and with no documentation leading back to them. Not to mention they were also trying to focus on killing someone who was obviously not caring about their bullets.
Not everything goes so well.
Hrmm... Summer wars off the top of my head. The Guild in that Detective anime. Erm, that one with the powers tattoos... Mostly it's a theme of American companies/Government backing an antagonist. There actually aren't that many examples of America directly being the big bad.
There's a certain satisfaction in seeing the life drain and the determination get flushed from a human face when they thought they had an absolute advantage only to be completely and unequivocally slaughtered.
Its just... I dunno. They could have done SO MUCH MORE with the setting. Like some real threats. I don't think i've ever felt so let down by an anime.
Im american, I can confirm
I miss the fun we had in these threads.
This pic remains and excellent meme.
The KGB and the SEAL Team got blown the fuck out without killing one Jap.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to make a show about time traveling legionaries going up against modern day special forces?
I'd watch the heck out of that.
none because they want to be with their waifus and at lest more than half of them are otakus
We don't enjoy it, just sorta got used to it.
Don't mess with Rory.
