| Good episode. The comedy was out of place, but the comedy was incredibly funny so it didn't bother me much. The MC is pretty out of place too, but it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to living into the world he pretty much lives for. He's a really likeable guy, and can get shit done, which is ironic considering he's an otaku, but his whole mentality of work doesn't make sense. If you work to pay for your hobby, why in the hell did you decide to join the military? I get that he's probably gonna get development to change that mentality, as foreshadowed with the little girl's father getting killed and how he reacted to it, but it's still silly. |
| 1/10 complete trash |
| I really liked this first episode, it was interesting and made me want to watch the next episode. I hope they explain the things a bit more, it felt a bit fast paced, but since it's only the first episode I'm not that worried. |
| Nothing too special of course, but not bad too.I think it's going to be a nice watch without any fireworks. |
 |
| Great start! I really liked it, hopefully it will continue to be just as gooood :P |
 |
| Nice episode, still pissed with Rori art = (what they did to my goth Loli T-T ) And that old Japanese military equipment pron *Q* |
 |
| 1. Japan has a junk military, the US, Russia, China, along with Europe would definitely go before Japan if this ever happened. 2. Monsters just invaded my effin backyard, and your telling me it takes 4 months after successful scouting trips to send a squadron of soldiers against creatures who may activate more "gates" or could attack at anytime, possibly with magic or better weapons!? Just because you add fantasy to an anime, doesnt mean it has to be unrealistic. Note: Japan has 767 active tanks in there national millitary. America has over 8,000 and we have WARheads. We also have over 3x times more planes and Japan is 10th in Military power :/ Sorry Japan :/ but your not going to be heroes anytime soon in a world crisis like "Gate" XD Still I like the character, I like the idea of Military vs Nature, and I'm a fan of a good old fashioned Journey into unknown territory. 7.5/10 |
| Not bad... Not bad at all! Looking forward to see what roles the girls play, and what happens when one pits modern military to a fantasy one. To me, the pacing blended nicely, knowing that he was in the military beforehand, and still managed to become the hero. I also got a very light Outbreak Company-ish feel from the episode. Very nice. |
 |
| only issue so far is i don't like how they draw main character when compare more realistic manga. ok pacing for first episode 7.5/10 |
Kerozinn said: Not impressed. This show sure isnt brimming with creativity. it takes less than a minute to come up with a setting and a premise like this. LOL, originality in anime? I think you're expecting FAR too much. Of the 150+ anime a year maybe 5 have even the smallest thing about them be original and fewer anything significant. I'm just happy this isn't a bunch of kids. Dear god I'm happy about that. It could have just as easily been some moronic whiny middle school boy who accidentally finds a mecha and saves Japan with his natural inborn piloting skills and sulking. |
| This anime came off with a good start. I liked the pace, and the main character is tolerable. |
 |
| Very nice beginning, I have high expectations for this anime hopefully I won't be disappointed. |
| That was a weird first ep... |
| Oh Japan, you and your naive concept of military never change. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| The violence was really toned down considering it was supposed to be like a massacre. I really hope there isn't this amount of censorship in the rest of the anime. I did like the main character and this is a pretty interesting concept. I'm gonna continue to watch. |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| a decent start...a little bit different from the manga but it's okay 6/10 for the first episode [spoiler]can't wait to see Main Mc's[spoiler]wife |
 |
| ooo this looks promising! a 33 y/o protagonist instead of another angsty high school kid? yes please |
Tokoya said: Going by what Stark said, my worries for this first episode has gone down a lot since it seems that it was adapted well and the violence wasn't censored, but the real violence happens later so hopefully it'll be okay Nah, I think this will get it's share of censor... we didn't even saw a dragon eat a single person, only implied(not that is a reason). The blood the violence that appeared only seemed like "eye candy"... Hope I'm just being cynical. |

| I thought this was a joke until people actually started dying. This was... strange. Entertaining, but strange. I like the MC he's pretty funny, I actually laughed out loud instead of internally "heh that was kinda funny"-ing. If you're trying to fund your hobby, I really don't think the military is the best job though. I haven't read the source material so I don't know if the pacing is too fast or if it's that way in the source too. Highlights: Is that a...? No... it can't be. A BLACK GUY. Sold. 'MURICA 3/5 I guess |

| its a1 dont expect much uncensored things i rather things be impled than a jarring censor bar |
MaxXZoe said: a decent start...a little bit different from the manga but it's okay 6/10 for the first episode That won't happen until the MC meets up with all three girls AND the Japanese Government deciding on reporting to the public just what is beyond that gate. Don't expect see it happening until at least 9-10 episodes in. Also, for those likening this to Outbreak Company, trust me, this is not some crappy Shounen comedy like that show. The situations dealt with in this show are more relateable to real world logic and politics. They won't do idiotically ridiculous "Soccer matches" and other shit like that. If anything, this is suppose to be a Sennin fantasy battle manga, just one that goes by the hypothesis of "what happens if one side is using Age of Empire units, whilst the other side is using Red Alert units". All the above stand true, so long as they don't tone down the R-Rated stuff. To be honest, from just the changes they made in the character designs being that much more childish (Lelei's design makes her practically look like a child), so I'm actually expecting tone-downs on the sex, gore and violence front. However, those elements necessary for the story to run properly and realistically. We are talking about a Military Unit exploring a new frontier after all, where the existing population that live there had been living a Roman-esque lifestyle (ie sex and violence being a part of their daily lives) before the JSDF invaded. It was suppose to be meant as a justification of the way the soldiers from the other side acted when coming through the Gate (them being from a more barbaric/less civilized society and all that). I'll be plenty disappointed if they tone down the sex and violence too much, because that would truly make this Outbreak Company 2.0 without the comedy. Going by the manga though, apart from the appearance of the Gate and the soldiers coming out through the Gate, trying to slaughter everyone, everything else was filler and/or flashback moments. The manga starts off with the JSDF already having established a base of operations in the "Special Region" (which I'm sure we'll see next episode anyway) and you just meet Itami from there. For the most part though, the filler was good as an introduction to who Itami is, and to show the progression without just dropping viewers into the "Special Region" from the off. Disappointed in the toned down R-Rated elements, but still have hopes for this show to be good. Cannot wait until Rory's first appearance (Cute Loli Death God :P), it's sure to be gory. |

| Not bad. This looks like a combination of SAO and Kekkai Sensen. Glad to hear Suwabe Junichi's voice from another airing anime this season ♡ The only thing I'm hoping for this show is: PLEASE DON'T BE A HAREM! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! (⇀‸↼‶) |

| Just because there are some elements that fits your taste doesn't automatically make the story less crappy or ridiculous. Otaku MC (should I say self-projection? Let's skip that here) stood up to save Comic Market, he leads and orders to the police (and they follow orders from a stranger, lol). I know Japanese (otaku writers without much social experience, to be specific) doesn't really know much about how society works, but I can bear it with "it's a product of otaku culture" mindset. Just How people try to defend their beloved fantasy fiction with "it's so realistic!", "it's not your generic [whatever]" is pretty pathetic. |

| Shame thought they would upgrade the Type 74 into a Type 90 (which would also mean 105mm to 120mm, and 38t to 50t). lol I doubt the F-4s get upgraded into F-15s/F-2s then...lol |

He's not a NEET cooped up in his apartment, he is a genuine former JSDF officer. Itami literally is a self-insert character. |
| interesting first episode reminded me of outbreak company(which i still got to get back into and finish) though only by a bit was funny that the main mc only saved the people so the doujinshi exhibit wasn't canceled XD. will give a few more episodes to see if i want to continue it or not. |
m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: Sending a whole fucking army with jeeps and tanks to a land you just discovered REALLY doesnt look very diplomatic. They were attacked and thousands of people died. 9/11 killed a pathetically small number of people (only 3,000 Americans) and the good ol' US of A lost its fucking shit and sent half its entire military might across the globe on an orgy of death that is still ongoing to this day. |

| One of the things I really wanted to see is a portrayal of a modern professional military. We didn't see much this week, but from the clips I've seen and tonight's show I think I'll be happy. Japan has a solid professional military and it looks like the creators know it. Looking forward to how Itami's platoon members interact with each other. I always preferred an officer who wasn't stuck on himself and so I think I'll really like Itami; he seems laid back but knows his job, as we saw at Ginza where he immediately assessed the fastest way to save civilians was to get them into the Imperial Palace. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| You had a guy murder another guy with a shortsword across the throat, a guy almost cut in half on screen, a few shots of bodies in the streets and lots of shots of people being cut down by machine gun fire and everyone is pissed off there isn't enough violence? Seriously? WTF people? Most full length R-rated Hollywood movies don't have this kind of body count. There has to be time for things like story and character development. You just saw a dragon get ripped apart by a minigun, which was totally awesome and how it should go, rather than the far too common and cheesy everything bounces off the dragon because magic. |
RoninXV said: 1. Japan has a junk military, the US, Russia, China, along with Europe would definitely go before Japan if this ever happened. Yup, could totally see the USA invade Japan and conquer it in order to be first through the gate. What a bunch of jerks. RoninXV said: 2. Monsters just invaded my effin backyard, and your telling me it takes 4 months after successful scouting trips to send a squadron of soldiers against creatures who may activate more "gates" or could attack at anytime, possibly with magic or better weapons!? Just because you add fantasy to an anime, doesnt mean it has to be unrealistic. Took about a year to prepare to invade Iraq, which is, you know, on this planet, so satellite imagery, satellite phones and GPS work there. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2002/07/iraq-j10.html Also, as was mentioned in the anime, they were worried about other portals appearing so have to defend themselves. Last I checked Iraq couldn't teleport people from another planet directly into the White House, so defensive measures would make preparation time much longer. But yeah, keep believing your retarded Hollywood movies on how easy it is to FedEX an army and it's support anywhere overnight. RoninXV said: Note: Japan has 767 active tanks in there national millitary. America has over 8,000 and we have WARheads.

The number of tanks the US has is an embarrassment, and despite the military begging the politicians to stop making them because most are sitting unused, senators don't want factories in their districts to stop production because it will make job numbers look bad. The US has so much military crap they're practically giving it to police and security forces so now you have schools with military equipment. What a joke. |

| I thought it was a pretty solid first episode. I needed another fantasy anime since Danmachi is finished. |
| This was so good. I love the concept and everything about it. This is going to be one of those shows that I watch the second I can every week. Here's to hoping it doesn't turn to crap! |
 |
| Very nice start looking forward to this anime. Soooo many Summer animes to watch D; I enjoyed the op and Ed. The main character is nice but wish is was you get like at least the mid to early 20s. Looking forward for him tk build his harem lol jk |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| No problems so far, I liked the tone quite a bit. Somewhere in between in your face chaotic and gritty, somber military adventure. I just hope it stays toned down to an extent and focuses on Itami and a minimal cast. I don't think the impending harem and/or moe automatically spells its doom, but with A-1 I'm going to stay hesitantly looking forward to this. But wow, probably gonna stay out of the episode discussions before it turns into a weekly "my country's dick is bigger than yours'' fest. |
 |
| > Fantasy vs Military, Dragon vs Chopper, Monsters vs Tanks.. Looks amazing.. Glad they do 2 cour show.. :D |
 read from right to left |
| I guess I might be one of those people who didn't look at the source material before the anime is out. But I am liking the protagonist a lot and I am glad that he was able to help the civilains and not go with his selfish desires (which I don't have a problem). The opening theme is good though it is not one of the greatest things I get to listen to. But for the ending theme, I like it. It sounds really nice and a little catchy. But I will keep watching and might even check out the source material when I have the chance to do so. |
| I just want to see that Gothic Lolita, she seems interesting |
| Hey guys I found where gunslinger stratos and denpa kyoushi's budget went! Some people may say that this is just like Outbreak Company. And they are right but... idk how to defend this anime. I guess the MC took the situation in a unique way I guess. |
