| Not really a good adaptation. They left out many little scenes that are necessary for fluid storytelling and prolonged some meaningless scenes like the bath one or the one with Itami checking web novels. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| i like leilei's curiosity chuka does not seem to be able to cope well with the loss of her father |
Takuan_Soho said: shanimebib said: Anyone else noticed @4:45 the term "Tetsu no Ichimotsu", literally which can be translated as an "Excellent or Extremely 'Agile' Animal (made) of Iron" perhaps referring to a military weapon, has been translated as "Iron Cock". WTF with that, CR? Did commie become contagious in official scripts nowadays? No, it was a joke from the manga. In the manga it was "rod of iron", and when Piya asked what it looked like the waitress made a lewd joke about a certain male body part. Funny scene though, especially when the crowd reacted to the description of the two female JSDF soliders. The manga is a 18+ series, they are cutting it down to 12+ here. That is why a lot of the manga fans are disappointed. Though the series still works. Edit: should add that the characters 逸物 which were read "ichimotsu" has another rarer combination 一物 (normally read ichibutsu it can also be read ichimotsu when speaking of a certain body part). So they kept it in there, they just did a pun on the word to cover it up. Did not know that until now. I see. Thanks for the clarification. It didn't make any sense because there wasn't any indication. Now that you have clarified the actual scenario of the manga it makes sense. But they should have just completely changed it or left it out because it sounded really out of place for some reason. For someone like me who didn't read the manga, it meant zero sense given the context. |

| This is a cock, by the way: Still weird? Yes, "wtf does this even mean"? No. Should have just used "bird". |

| It's interesting to see these two worlds clash. Not just with the 1500-year difference in military technology, but also with culture, language, entertainment and those humble Japanese traditions. I don't think the gate could have landed in a better country. Haven't seen an anime like this since Outbreak Company. |

Not plot holes but inconsistencies. Like the people behind the gate understanding the military people and other times having no idea what they are talking about. |
| I guess I'll read the manga myself and try and figure out if it's better than the anime like everyone says. Right now I really like the anime, although I dislike the split-screening. It looks really low-budget. |
| The story was flowing pretty well. I like that, although she looks young, Rory sounds mature. And again, little things like soldiers at KP, the local inhabitants being fascinated by the big earth excavators, and their realistic approach to the world. Itami's characterization in the anime is really growing on me faster than it did in the manga. A1 is really doing a great job with this, especially presenting it to an audience who never read either of the previous three incarnations of the story. Its moving along pretty smoothly. These soldiers are acting like the real thing, A1 has got that pegged. I'm loving that most of all. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| I really like Chuka and rory |
| Hi there |
| Wow we learned a bit about Chuka. I feel like the men's clothing is supposed to be fore her father. The bath scene was cute, Rory is so cute and chuka has a nice figure but they put soap around her areas D;< Looking forward to the next episode!! |

| Good buildup episode. I like how the heroines are given time to shine at least enough for us to learn more about them. Youji's characterization is also much more endearing. Also, yeah, it's nice to finally see a bath episode that isn't filled to the brim with fanservice. I wonder how A-1 will handle the drama with Italica. |
 |
| Great Iron Cock XD China started eyeing the Gate. USA and Russia also will not stay silent. |
 |
| Found it slightly amusing that they just let Rory casually walk around the base with a giant halberd. She's definitely not dangerous... |
skudoops said: Does anyone else appreciate the writing in the show so far? I'm very glad they aren't taking an isolationist view on the GATE and are exploring some plausible real world implications if such a thing would happen. Agreed. It would create interesting events for the story. |
| Excellent episode! This anime is starting to get really good :D |
skudoops said: Does anyone else appreciate the writing in the show so far? No. It's been awful. skudoops said: I'm very glad they aren't taking an isolationist view on the GATE and are exploring some plausible real world implications if such a thing would happen. They floated the Japan isolationist idea this very episode. No way would the rest of the world be so comically evil if this happened irl, nor would they allow Japan to full on invade and conquer a foreign land. |
| Good to see Itami keeping up with his Otaku things even though his in another world XD. They gave us some fan service which i'm always open to :3. Can't wait to see them in Italica. Rory best girl <3 |

| Japan was also shrewd when they declared it a special region and part of Japan. Since Japan's constitution doesn't allow them to field a foreign military force, they're only able to deploy because they've considered it "inside Japan". It helps them avoid international intervention. skudoops said: The second thing is, if the nations of the world were to get aggressive they could easily supply themselves from beyond the GATE and move their manufacturing over there, the implication of this being that they cannot stop the production of military weapons and vehicles. Basically Japan would become the most powerful nation overnight if they wanted to. I could see them supplying themselves through the gate, but you also have to consider that the gate can only accommodate a finite amount of cargo at any given time. Judging by it's size, they might be able to run two parallel rail lines (the only way to move goods at the scale needed) through the gate with enough room for some vehicle traffic left, but that's it. Moving their manufacturing there would keep the factories safe, but it would also guarantee that your enemies know your supply chain and logistics route. All they need to do is bomb the rail lines and all of a sudden all your supplies are trapped on the other side. But anyway. I understand the bath scene wasn't in the source material, but I really liked how the bath made an impression on the girls, and how they used it as a point of contrast between their societies. It's a temporary structure? And it has a heated BATH? Who ARE these people? |
skudoops said: They weighed up the pros and cons of an isolationist stance, No they didn't. They literally said about one sentence about it. Hardly an in depth discussion of the pros and cons. skudoops said: You know what this situation reminds me of? A currently land dispute that Japan has with china over the Senkaku Islands. Well Japan should just send in their elite JSDF forces then (going by what I've heard is going to happen later in the series they're clearly the best soldiers in the entire world) and once they've secured the islands for Japan they can then move onto to invade and conquer all of China. skudoops said: As for nations not allowing them to conquer a foreign land, you have to realize the new world was the aggressor and japan was merely defending itself. At that moment Japan was given a free pass to retaliate, especially since everyone was interested in what was beyond the GATE but not willing to risk their own soldiers. I absolutely understand Japan initial incursion beyond the gate was to secure it and thus protect themselves from future attacks. But now they're talking about basically a full on invasion and conquering of a foreign land for Japan's profit, hardly defending themselves anymore. The series is comically written nationalistic propaganda Japanese self-wank. |

| Glad to see the pacing being rather slow. They do need to fill those 24 episodes and I'd rather see them adapt half of the novels than trying to do all of them. The rating is supposedly R17+ so why did they cut out that dick joke. :( No innocent Pina blushing, y u do dis to me A1. I also really like Rory's new design and her VA. Sounds like how an apostle of the god of death should sound like. |

| I'm really liking this show. I think Leilei is my favorite so far. |
| Rory is awesome!!! Hopefully Tuka will be able to recover well from this. And I hope Rory stays as an ally throughout. |
 |
| I'm really liking Rory and Tuka! Lelei is cool also since she's the smart one, but the other 2 really interests me. Does Tuka have the hots for Itami or is she just very grateful? Hopefully both. Lol :P |

salmon3669 said: ANyway this didn't sound like your type of show anyway, so yeah. Just don't start forcing it down everyone's throats that it's bad. Cause there are some shows this seasons I think are way worse than this *cough* Chaos;Dragon *cough*. *cough* 'Monster Musume *cough*. Obviously people can and will like what they like and this is all just my opinion. Oh I agree that this is far from the worst show this season. |
| Hell yeah. Politics on Earth were touched upon again. Once the rest of the earth fully realizes what a gold mine Japan has with the sole possession of the Gate, what would happen then? Imagine. If they (Japan) wanted... They could form an alliance with the magic side (in exchange with technology) and take over the two worlds :p What I don't understand full well is what's the deal with the other world. Like, is it a world on the same universe of Earth? Is it part of an alternate reality (so same universe, but different reality)? Or, is it part of a totally different new universe? The reason I'm confused there is because of Rori's name. Mercury? That smells of an alternate reality. ThreePointer said: When picking best girl in a series is like picking a starter in a new pokemon game Hmm. I'd pick the Elf, Demigod and Magician, in that order. Why settle for one when you can have all three as best girls? :) |
ThreePointer said: When picking best girl in a series is like picking a starter in a new pokemon game Rory, I choose you. |

| Great episode! Lelena is really great so far, liking the focus on her this episode. And now we also have China getting involved. Wonder how it all will turn out. |
  |
| It's going to be some trouble in the next coming episodes. |

| I love this anime, should be rated higher. Don't like elf girl yet though. |
