Sonnetica said: Feeling conflicted. The ending wasn't really eventful; I guess the triumph was nice itself. I initially had sort of an interest in the characters and the background in this show as well, but it quickly went downhill from there. Pity the execution wasn't great. Same...I actually liked the three main characters and found them interesting in the beginning. Once they started to show all these other characters and didn't characterize them or anything, it just got worse and worse. Reminder to self that checking out an anime for the VAs is okay, but if it turns out to be bad, stop watching. I guess I kept watching just to see how bad it could get, lol. Like a lot of other people who did the same. anilandrot said: what the fuck was this show But yeah seriously, this is probably the worst thing I've seen in awhile in that it barely made any sense because it felt so rushed. At least Gokukoku no Brynhildr from spring 2014 made sense despite apparently rushing through 100+ chapters. But this. This is on another level. There was just too many damn things going on and too many character that no one cares about in this series.They could've fleshed out the main characters more so we can understand and connect with them better, but no, there was a plot and they had to rush through that. |
| what the fuck why didnt they resolve the brother situation wasnt that what this show was about in the first place -_-... and whats that cryptic hinting at the end |

| Oh god this was terrible I still don't know the story I'm lost. I hope this doesn't get a second season cause I'll shoot myself |
 |
| THis is the end ?! Feels like like unfinished story |
| Well, this anime was kinda decent. And it's gonna have a season 2? WTF!? Anyway, I'll rate it a 6 (or 7?) score overall. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| This is seriously the very first show that I found promising, but that turned out so bad afterwards, I had to give like a 3/10. The very first. The other one is "Bihada Ichizoku", but I only watched the first few minutes for fun and decided it is garbage for me. Never rated any anime this bad before. - So, what Deus Ex machina did revive or rescue everyone in the end? - What is with Midori's friend and Akane's father and especially Aoto's brother? - What happened to the robot girl Aoto took a selfie with a few episodes before? - What was that episode with the training and conflict with the animal people for? - What exactly does Loki want to pull off with Arthur? - Does he want to make him an evil god? And if yes, why didn't he use the the gate for that or his "might"? Does he just want Arthur as his "barbie"? - And just what were those Adapters for? Helping with criminals as in the first episode? - What usage had this "bon" thingy that sometimes was with them and sometimes just disappeared? I'm sure those are enough questions about the plot holes, but especially that they forgot that robot girl is hard to take. How can you simply "forget" a character? Oh well ... I read almost the half of the first page here, but I dunno if I want to read the rest of it or the next pages since I know what everyone will write. I really wanted to like this anime and even subbed it, and I liked Aoto and his change in the anime, but everything hardly made sense and the plot holes are bigger than any hole that made the titanic sink! So, I guess I will just stop thinking about this anime and be happy that at least "Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya o Mezasu" wasn't a full disappointment. I'm sure they could have pulled it off much better, especially with that handy game in mind, but well ... See you, second season of Divine Gate, if you will ever be created. I'll be sure to sub you again, no matter how bad you will be ...~ |

| wut? why shinji is suddenly acting like a cool character when he betrayed akane and the rest, Arthur is still with Loki. Are they really thinking of a chance of a second season D:? |
 |
| what a fucking joke LOL everyone is ALIVE!! I guess that was Arthur's doing? how does Dark Arthur collapse the tower in one sword swing? I guess Arthur and Loki are stuck in the God Realm until someone releases them. What fun it will be to be with a dickweed 24/7 I was half hoping Ginji wouldn't be able to convince the trio, just so another person would show up to do the same thing that girl at the end was so cute, no wonder Aoto's brother is the way he is edgy/10! |
 |
| Omg ... what a terrible last episode. They don't even go through the gate and EVERYONE'S ALIVE??? What a waste of 12 episodes ... oh my god OTL That was such a terrible conclusion :( Is there going to be a second season with that ending?! I guess there has to be ... why?! T_T Yeah so, this anime had really terrible characters and plot ... I actually liked the animation/character designs though! The music was OK too, I really like the OP. Too bad it was executed so poorly I feel like they could have made this a good show :( 5/10 |
| what a waste of a nice OP and ED and OST in general and it's clear that effort was put into the animation and voice acting, but the writers should end themselves. gladitsover/10 |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Yeah, this final episode was just honestly forgettable. Basically I couldn't give any f**ks to the fact that the main 3 refused to enter the Gate despite hyping it throughout the entire show. Whatever. Also, why is there no ending? At least it's conclusive, kind of, unlike Gangsta's, but seriously, WHY? At least the Knights of Round were alive, since their deaths all meant nothing anyways earlier. Basically them dying was pointless. I may be a little generous with this, but this anime is getting probably a 5.5/10, much like Dance with Devils. While that show just starting sucking in the last half, this was just underwhelming all around. |

| finally finished this senseless sh!t! in the end the three didn't proceed to the actual divine gate...and the Norse god didn't kill any of the kinghts of the round... Did Lancelot made a contract on that woman da who!?!? 4/5. 6/10. |
 |
| None of the knights died? WHAT????? |
| wow and here I thought that the final episode will at least be decent because the last episode was not that bad tbh but yeah I was wrong I guess. I hate how they changed their mind just because Ginji talked to them for like 30 seconds ??!! what the hell =/ And what's with Aotos brother now? Why didn't he go beyond the gate ??? The ending did not satisfy me at all. |
| I stopped caring about the characters or the plot after the first 3 episodes so it was easy to watch. I still can't believe I made it through without dropping it. But still it is a terrible show which was all over the place. I hope they don't make a sequel. 3/10 |
| That was poor beyond belief. I don't even think a 24-episode run would fix this. Nor would I have wanted a 24 episode run of it. This was just...bad. |
| Yawn...oh is it over already? Silly me, I shouldn't be sleeping in the episode discussion. This last episode was such a snore fest, it's like they were so caught up in their pseudo-enigma narrative that they forgot it was the last episode and decided "Zoinks Scoob, let's just wrap up the conflict in 3 minutes and then tease for a second season!" And considering there was no announcement, this reminds me of one of those open ended "go read the manga/LN!" oh wait this is an original series so thank goodness that can't be done! Divine Gate felt like it took a bunch of concepts and scrambled them together with no rhyme or reason. It always felt like the plot was being moved forward whimsically and behind all of the overly ambiguous dialogues were fairly shallow motives. It's not like the narrative style was bad, I liked it at some points. But it just didn't make up for the lack of focus or consistency and often beat around the bush. "The boy didn't like the rain because the rain was disliked." Well uhh no kidding? With that said, I liked the initial idea and was starting to feel it after about 5 episodes. As soon as they started the expedition for the gate, however, that's when it felt like the threads were coming undone at the seams. I would have preferred a greater focus on Aoto and his brother, I wasn't really feeling Arthur's side of things. Which, speaking of, lol @ how all of the knights survived fatal wounds. The mythology references just felt so random and crammed in for the sake of it as well. Jumping from Shakespeare to Cinderella to The Wizard of Oz to Scandinavia to Santa Clause. Ay yai yai... Going back though, the high point of this series was definitely Aoto and Ariton. Often times characters exhibit self sacrifice, believing that they are taking the brunt of the damage for the sake of the one they're protecting. It was very fascinating how Ariton was more tormented by being protected than sharing the pain. Actually everything involving Ariton kept me glued to the show. 5.5/10, it's hard to say at this point. I was feeling 6 vibes until the last episode and now I just don't know what to say. |

| THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH? - Santa but not Santa - Arthur want the world peace but grab the cursed sword shit - the knights died but not dead - the only thing that actually meet their death are Akane's father and midori's friend (?) - human and gods can easily enter the divine gate that it is so hard in the beginning (?) - WHO THE FUCK IS METABON? - hikari become the queen of heaven, and yukari become the queen of hell with no reason? what? - ginji the messenger - undine easily beaten with just one stab? I thought she's in gods class which takes so much effort when human try to kill them. I AM SO CONFUSED. 4/10 |
| I knew it would be a clusterfuck and nothing got resolved. Knights of Round are alive? LOL Yukari looking fine though. Best part of the episode. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| While this anime started off good, it went really down hill along the way and became a very generic and meh anime in the end. While the animation and art were still pretty good the overall story and characters just lacked. So all in all it was pretty meh. |

| when I want to watch the other 'GATE' anime, this anime came out at the search too so I just randomly picked it. I didn't know this anime is for advertising the game. in that case I think this is quite successful, many people are talking about it and maybe will be remembered for long time.

Still doesn't explain the unknown blonde girl lol |
| This is the a fucking shitty time-wasting anime! Fuck! Thank god that I finally completed it. |
| LOL |
| Dafuq was wrong with this anime, from beginning to end it made no sense whatsoever 😕 Can't say I disliked the character designs, well Imll end this with a 4/10. |
 |
| First episode was great, I was wondering what did this series do to deserve the low score. Up until the half way point, the series was decent. From then on, it was a lot less than ideal. On top of that, it didn't even end well, if you could even call that an ending. -.- Very disappointed because it could have been pretty cool. |

| It's true, humans are not perfect. But they are not better or worse in making decisions or choosing their fate than stupid and selfish gods. Leaving everything to the gods or the World Council is not a good idea. We have seen how this turned out. I'm glad that the trio was able to overcome their obstacles and made the right decision in the end. It was great to see the Knights again. I expected, that they aren't dead. Oz paid a price for taking away the gods powers by accelerated aging. I feel sorry for him. Not everything was resolved, but I'm satisfied with the conclusion. Also Loki understood exactly nothing until the end. The comments give the impression, that most viewers just threw in the towel and did go deaf. The plot was very basic and simple in my opinion. |

Modo942000 said: i wonder why the anime is getting too much hate. personally, i enjoyed it a lot. it had a lot of deep thought to it and a great concept. i agree with you that some stuff didn't make sense especially in the last episode but it doesn't make the anime bad. with that last episode, though, i expect a second season for it. At least one reasonable comment. I almost thought, that I was alone in enjoying it. |

| Final score: 1.5/10 In detail They finally arrived at the "Divine Gate". We therefore expect Aoto, Akane and Midori to ask their wishes because this is the only logical objective of the series. But ... no, actually, unnecessary Ginji arrives at random and made them a "little lesson" of morality and told them not to be selfish. The three eventually renounce reveal their wish. The other spirit of the "key" tells them that it doesn't matter (WTF after eliminating all the gods xD) The Knights have all been saved by ... no idea, a miracle xD In the end, this series is an infamous shit, with false psychology that makes the anime only pretentious and not intelligent. |
 |
| Idk if it is just me but I loved all character designs. Sadly the story was all over the place and somewhat awkward but far from worst I have seen |
 ►"The deeper the darkness the more dazzling the light shines." ◄ ►"As you live you lose reasons and hope. But as you keep on going, you pick up new reasons and hope."◄ ►"If I don’t stand up here… If I don’t reach higher here… When am I ever going to do it?"◄ |
| It wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but it was another generic fantasy anime that was easily forgettable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
