| This is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Definitely didn't think this would come back, I'm gonna have to revisit S1 before this drops. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| wow.... people been asking for more of this for a long ass time now |
   |
| it has never been more back |
 |
| THIS IS CRAZY, I always wanted a season2 of gate omg |
My Candies:  |
| They really just woke up and announced it, just like that lol. Been a decade... |
| HOLY SHIT IT'S LEGIT !!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FAV GIRL RORY !!!! . but they changed the studio huh, i hope it's worth to wait. |

| @NiaAlexandria it has different story and MC, I doubt Rory would appeared in this |
 |
| Just woke up and saw this news, what a way to start the day. |

So happy we are getting another season but sad it won't be A-1 again animating it.
| @PhainonHSR Just be grateful that Queen Bee is not animating it |
 |
| One one hand I am happy to see us getting more of Gate. I enjoyed the previous entry despite all the haters it had. On the other I'm sad we don't get to follow the previous cast of characters. |
 |
| Crazy that this is getting another season after all this time, but apparently with completely new characters? At some point I feel like we have to get another NGNL season soon as well. |
| Is the sequel as ridiculously jingoistic as the original story? While Youjo Senki had a better reputation due to the author's leftist views and supposed satire, Gate is literally a fan fiction of a former Japanese military man. @StewedBeefHaunch Never thought I'd see references to hentai studios here, lmao. |
 |
| Surprised it is M2 animating it. It does not look like a project Maruyama would pick for his own interest. |
 |
| I was always sad the original never got a sequel, it was a fun show to watch. Studio M2 tho, I'll be looking at it cautiously... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |

| @joe_g7 Yeah, there is a big chance the design will not survive from S1. (still, this studio animated PLUTO, so it could be a good adaptation) Still I looked towards the OG LN many times, and there was NEVER a sequel to the LN, so now suddently it existed? Maybe MAL added it only in the last few years? It is nice to see a new entry on this, but I would like to see the old cast returning too... |
 |
| Yvan Eht Nioj Hurry! The JSDF needs more recruits! |
 |
| Good news! I plan to watch the first season, it looks interesting for me. |

Reply to Suprr
So there's a chance for No Game No Life S2... This is a new protagonist but still, it bodes well for abandoned S1 onlys.
| @Suprr My exact thoughts as well whenever I see a random sequel after like a decade or so lol But I guess this is different since it's basically like a different story |

| @RobertBobert Queen Bee's notoriety has risen to the point where it has transcended the hentai-verse and now become a universal constant |
|
| Took so long I'm old enough now to relate to the mthetrucker lol |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| damn ... always those garbage harems are the ones getting sequels |
 |
| @justnermal10000 i just prefer one to one romcoms over seeing a bunch of girls getting rejected its not about execution i hate the harem genre itself anway ,i gave up on that genre years ago i bash it from time to time because its fun :> enjoy |
|
| @justnermal10000 imagine making alt accounts and following someone to hate him for years you are the most subhuman psychopath i have ever seen in my life ... your life must be empty as hell i feel bad for you |
|
| If they had made it like five years ago I would've jump in joy but now I welcome it but not that excited |
| Ha I streamed this back then, it seems like ages ago. I doubt the current crop of MAL users has ever watched it, probably never heard of it since it's from before 2020. It's about the Japanese army using overwhelming force against a fantasy world, so if you are one of those people who has buzzed hair and wears camouflage and goes to target practice 3-4 times per week this is right up your alley. I liked it for being unique but found myself empathizing with the fantasy Empire. |
| This is a direct sequel right? It feels more like spin-off since this is look like having a whole brand new characters and plot based on the synopsis. |

| @RobertBobert No, I mean like their reputation is so well known you can use them as a comparison for things outside hentai that are of poor quality. Like Epic Games Launcher is the Queen Bee of game launchers. |

| @StewedBeefHaunch The main thing is that it’s not EA Game Launcher, remembering how they literally took away 5-6 games I bought. |
|
| I liked the first Gate anime and was hoping this was a sequel. Might still be worth it. |
