Synopsis

One day in the 21st century, a gate opened in the middle of the Ginza district of Tokyo. Out of the gate poured soldiers and strange creatures, and they soon made Ginza look like an image of hell. The gate apparently connected Japan to another world, a world with a militant empire and many supernatural creatures. The Japanese Self-Defense Force decided to send a small group, led by a soldier who's also an otaku, into the other world on a reconnaissance mission. They're meant to learn what they can about the empire (and its plans), the world, and the people.

They're hardly in the world yet, though, when they come across a village destroyed by a giant fire-breathing dragon. The only survivor is an unconscious elven girl they find hidden in a well. Now they feel like they must warn the nearby towns about the dragon, and do what they can to help. On the way, they'll meet more magical, female companions, and learn more about this dangerous new world.

Preliminary (129/? eps)

Synopsis:
One day as the MC (Itami Youji - an Otakou), was making his way to the Doujinshi festival in Tokyo in the Akihabara district of Japan, a gate opened in the middle of the Ginza district of Tokyo. Out of the gate poured soldiers and strange creatures (typical of monsters from a Dungeons and Dragons game), and began acting the Japanese citizens. Itami soon found himself trying to defend the Japanese citizens from this threat in an attempt to keep the Doujinshi festival from being canceled. After some investigation, it was found that the gate connected Japan to another world, where swords and sorcery were ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (87/? eps)

This is a manga version of Gate: Jieitai Konichi nite, which also has an anime and light novel. I watched the 1st and 2nd season of the anime, loved the first and hated the second.

Reading this particular work left me with mixed feelings.

First here's a quality of art which is not on berserk level, but fairly high, and mature themes. However, with time it sorta degrades, and in places it becomes obvious that photos were used for backgrounds (the quality still remains quite high). On other hand, the series smell strongly of nationalism and leaves bad taste at some point. On occasion it reads as ...

Preliminary (Unknown/? eps)

Oh boy, oh boy, where do I even begin?

First of all, people love the fact that the modern army curbstomps the fantasy army. Logical? Perhaps. You can easily make it logical by downplaying the magic element the fantasy side has, like this series do. Magic is fiction after all.

However, we have a problem if we're going down that route. First of all, the modern army is the good guys here. It's fine if the modern army is the bad guys. It can be a story about the fantasy side losing and then slowly finding ways to hit back by researching new magic. Finding ways to ... creatively use the magic they have. Unfortunately, it's the opposite. The fantasy side is bad guy, full of slavers (the most overused method in fantasy LNs to portray fantasy folks as bad guys) and bloodthirsty conquerors. And thus we have the modern side playing heroes as they gun down the inferior medieval era barbarians. And for some reason, for some people this is a really riveting thing. But for me, it's just sad.

Fine, perhaps the evul fantasy folks are outgunned. But surely, they can compete in the match of wits, right? Well, nope. Their wits are only there to feel awed against the overwhelming might of the modern army. The villains are all SAO-tier bad. Heck, I take that back. SAO actually has Quinella, which was decent with her evilness. This? Just a bunch of caricatures to be punched down by our heroes.

You know what this lopsided situation reminds me of? Those terrible Naruto fanfics at FF.net where Naruto gains OP powers out of nowhere and steamrolls his enemies. And what a surprise, those have their own audience too.

Fine, perhaps the conflict isn't interesting at all. But surely the characters will carry the show, right? Ahahahahaha, no. They're written terribly too. No interesting inter-character conflict and no likeable character. They're your generic harem tier characters.

So, what else is there? Well, some folks argue this show is about the "culture clash". Well, sure, they are some "culture clash", but it consists of the modern folks complaining about the fantasy folks being jerks and the fantasy folks being awed at the modern folks. Truly a riveting societal tale.

Oh, and about the portrayal of foreigners in this? Cute. Japan still got a long way to go until it lost its xenophobia. There's also the negative portrayal of Japan politicians as bumbling idiots, which eerily reminds me on how the military usurped control from the government in WW2 before they went on their crusade to "liberate" their supposed Asian brothers from Western colonialism.

Overall, this is a disappointing story. The more I read the manga, the more I realized the story isn't going to get any better.

I might as well read something that is already good from the beginning.
