eeehhhh was alright. still think the whole itami getting beaten up is dumb but i guess the author needed a quick way to get pina to join them.


Beating their prisoners up shows one of the parallelisms between the world beyond the gate and our own ancient world, in particular, the Roman Empire. It was often standard procedure to beat up your prisoners regardless of rank and sometimes parade them on the streets (especially defeated kings and or generals).

Other parallelisms for those interested include
1. The Denarius (singular) Denarii (plural) for one of the Empire's silver coin currencies.
2.How they were dressed for battle in Episode 1
3.Many client or allied states instead of simply conquering and subsequently annexing the state

Lol Itami has it rough from time to time. And can the Harem grow any larger?

Plus I thought it was funny with Pina Co Lada's logic..."We need to make this go away!" "Go have sex with him!"

Mmmhmmm. I'd say that the few cuts and bruises that Itami received were worth it in the end in order to get served by animal girls. Bro 4 life.

I can't wait for next week's episode. Seeing Rory in Japan is going to be godly.
They didn't show it in the anime but the rose knights took him back to the city by dragging him on a rope by horseback.

It was apparently quite often the case..and marriages was also used for similar reasons.

It ended exactly at the point I guessed it would (in the previous episode thread).

Anyone else find the irony in Pina Co Lada when the bandits attacked Italica how she was talking about her training and tolerated her body being violated maybe 1-5 times, but going crazy if she got raped (100x). Then sends her knight out to make things right?

Lovely transition episode.
Pina finally got to see what she was up against, though her horror at the thought of facing the JSDF was more pronounced.
Itami living every Otaku's dream. I wish they kept his line when he woke up asking "How did I end up in a Maid Café in Akiba?", but it was still all good.

Next episode is gonna be major culture shock for the girls. Am gonna love seeing it.

Oh, and Tuka is a High Elf, even in their world, they're a rare breed.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

[spoiler]
Harem? There are a dark elf slave named Yao and Risa, his ex-wife.

Yes, Pina's logic is like politician in third world countries. She tried to bribe Itami.

Is it smart to allow Rory free roam on Earth with that giant scythe? She should be obviously oblivious to modern 1st world human culture. She could, say, easily slaughter a purse thief or something...

Makes one wonder if the JSDF actually have as overwhelming advantage as they think.

Also, Gate keeps bending time this episode too, I didn't even notice when 20 minutes passed.


Well, anything besides god class can be overpowered with our current level of technology. With ICBM's/Nukes. And yes, she can put people to sleep. But her ability probably has a limited area of effect, so therefore, it's useless without the element of surprise. Furthermore, the superior range of conventional Earth-weaponry can also kill her.
Case in point, a single fire-drake can raze a whole village of said elves with ease. While in turn, said dragon can be slaughtered with a bunch of hellfire missiles...

This episode was really entertaining as any of the 7 released to date. Except of the middling portrayal of Piña in anger and the astonishment and delight of Kurata and Itami when they saw the non-human maids, it was good. I also was hoping to see a talk between the head maid and Rory but they compressed it in just two sentences.
The emissary outfits of Bozes Co Palesti and Piña Co Lada were really nice. Hope to see interesting action in Japan when they cross they gate in episode 8.

I did not like that the blond got annoyed for being ignored. I mean she is supposed to be a Strong Warrior and yet she lost her composure so easily. They sacrifice the integrity of a character for some lame slapstick humour. Other than that it was an interesting episode. I did not know the Elf was that powerful, pretty neat.

That comment is more about his rank. She's lamenting that she thinks she has to give one of her subordinate noblewoman's chastity to the leader of a squadron instead of, say, a General or what they would consider a "Lord".

If you've been paying attention, the series began at the summer convention, and now they're going back to Japan during the winter convention. Several months have passed, most of Itami's squad can passably speak in the local language. The 3 main girls (Lelei especially, mage yo) can passably speak Japanese. It makes sense that the Commanders who don't leave Arnus don't speak the local language well and would need a translator.

Also, fantasy world bro, elves n' all that. :P

Right. They come from a culture where a daughter of a noble house might be given in marriage as part of a settlement to end a war.

Pina has been repeatedly forced to deal from a position of weakness. That's new to her, and she doesn't like it. Now she's headed for the enemy capital, and is rightfully worried.

Oh come now, that was exactly how she would have acted. Before being a strong warrior, she is a proud, arrogant noblewoman. For sake of country she is willing to sacrifice her virginity to seduce the barbarian, but then he doesn't even NOTICE her sacrifice. Of course she would lose her composure.

I know, thats why Im asking if what happened on the LN is different since the manga showed it in a different way, instead of belittling Itami she even thought of giving 2 of the girls to him and later said ''Itami seems like a special kind of man to fall for it''

You make some good arguments but the fear of being responsible for a possible war should have overwritten any overreaction. I can agree that she could lose her composure but dropping low enough to walk up to him and slap him feels a bit like a reach.

At that point she has no idea how strong the JSDF is, unlike Pina she hasn't seen them in battle yet. Also, the Rose Brigade had never actually fought a battle (as the king implied when he sent Pina out), so they really don't understand battles, and they have bought into the propaganda that the Empire is unbeatable. Remember how Pina reacted when she first heard about the JSDF winning, the blonde didn't even have that small amount of warning.

But more importantly, honor is what the empire was about. People nowadays don't understand how totally important it used to be because a gun "equalizes" honor. But before guns, battles were fought by people who had to hack their way through their opponents, and those with courage and a sense of honor were far superior to those who lacked either. This is what Pina was talking about when she said that the JSDF were like Valkyries laughing at mortals, all that courage would bring to these soldiers is to be slaughtered (this goes back to the second episode when the alliance army continued to attack). Virtues are now vices.

So the blonde had her honor at stake, and Itami inadvertently trampled on it. Again, he is lucky that is all she did to him. And she is lucky that her pride and ignorance didn't get her killed.
