I thought I would be watching this through the fall, I didn't know the 2 cour will be a spilt cour instead. Err.

Anyways, I really like how Lelei improved her magic drastically just by reading that chemistry book.

I can't comment because there is nothing to say.

Overall it was fine, 6/10 for me.

Hoping the second cour will surpass this!

Welcome to history. The only reason you think that is because you live in a post-WWII environment. That you are fortunate in this regard doesn't make your enemy stupid or you intelligent.

Haha that's a funny way to end it, but it's probably a good thing that it's a splitcour (I'd be sad in the quality dropped). I wonder if the Section 2 Intelligence will report that the Rose Knights are fujoshis.

I looked at this thread and see a lot of people actually rated this 4 or 5 or 6 out of 10, but the overall rating in MAL just keeps on growing. Now on 8.05, it was 8.02 last week and it was around 7.70 when it came out. So it is a really good anime.

The waiting game started... the most looked forward anime of this Summer ended in a not-so-cliffhanger. I really wanted to see Yao talked to Itami!!! I mean seriously, it's called WHAT WOULD ITAMI DO? Without Itami being really there for Yao... so yes it's a cliffhanger.

Not enough Rory. She appeared once as a cameo and the second one with one line.

That Pina co Lada is rotten to the core... she spread a weird BL hentai... translated too.

Clearly one of the best anime this Summer. Although the split cour is kind of understandable so that Gate won't die in a few months (it already ended on Novel so no more season 3).

10/10 for Rory, Itami, Dragon, and the fun stuff we go through every week. Haters gonna hate. Second season is already on my book, I need my 2016.

They are collecting information about Japan, which is a must for them. While they are really interested in the art, they aren't just fansubbers. They took the Japanese language class so as to comprehend Japan in the first place. Also, the intelligence officer of the SDF, who was wearing a butler's outfit and watching them, wouldn't like to read the rotten fansubs. So, it is the best place to hide the intelligence they found there. Possibly, they have been pretending to be just funny and naive girls. They know the officer sends reports to the head office regularly.
Remember that they are nobles and highly educated Imperial knights, not common otaku girls.

I can't believe we will have to wait for January to see the supposed "2nd" season of this great anime :/
I still can't get why have they done this...
Pina Co Lada was so cute in this episode :3
Itami will surely find a way to kill that dragon and help the Dark Elf :D
I'm kinda confused because i don't know how i'm supposed to rate this show now,should i rate it when the 2nd season will air since it was supposed to end there so rating noww this "1st" season isn't "correct" since we only saw half but i'm already loving it,i was planning to give this 8 or 9 of 10,but since it ended this way i don't know but still as i see it was unexpected for them to "end" it in 12 eps so i can understand this ending and i will wait for the 2nd seasons and probably at the end of it i will rate it.
Can't wait for January!

Three things to remember about ratings:

First, the MAL user who comes on a thread to comment, particularly when they are talking about how low they rate a show, may be from an entirely different population than the much larger number of MAL users who simply rate the show as they watch episodes.

Second, the general ratings and the breakdowns on the stats page are always the most accurate representation of what MAL users actually feel about the show.

Third, the general ratings are more a measure of how a show is received by the user-base, and certainly don't necessarily measure the quality of a show. Moreover, the best measure of central tendency for ordinal data (the data type that the MAL ratings actually should be classified as) is the median score. Gate's median score is comfortably an 8, with over 68% of respondents rating it 8 or above. That means it is well-received by the MAL user-base. In contrast less than 5% of respondents rate GATE as a 5 or lower. The comments you read from people in that category reflect a small minority of the user-base.

There's so much foreshadowing here. Lelei, who is a combat mage, has figured out how to make a magical shaped charge. The JSDF is preparing a diplomatic/military mission to the Imperial capital. Pina is trying to juggle the Imperial factions. Yao is trying to get help shooting down the fire dragon. The JSDF now has some jet fighters in the Special Area. This is all going somewhere.

This anime is based on a novel. There are lots of subplots advancing in parallel, rather than arcs.

That was pretty great. Each episode was entertaining and didn't feel too complicated or simple. Something about it was just relaxing xD It's a shame they're gonna go with a split cour after having it show 24 eps until last week but at least I'll have something to look forward to in the Winter season.

I expected so much based on the first two episodes but the show just went downhill after that. I hope the second season will be much better. Final score: 6/10.

Aah split cours I see. Got me worried for a second there.
What a weak finale for the ending the cour though. Itami this, Itami that, who cares about him?
7/10 for now.... Lelei made me picked this series up anyway. Thank god she lives up to my expectations.
Have to wait till next year for the next cour? Urgh...

that's just 1 of the many books she read and bought in the other world, also all military bases accessible to civilians have some sort of library if i'm not wrong.

Naa, they really are into those "arts" themselves as well, you would know if you remember ep 9. Plus the JSDF knows they are being surveyed, they actually want them to see and let them know the JSDF's capabilities in hopes that the Empire will stop the war in a peaceful manner.

Well, that definitely didn't feel like an ending in an arc, this anime should be 24 episodes straight, but oh well, just be glad the sequel would definitely be aired.

Overall this is very enjoyable show, I was hoping there would be a lot of battles like at the 2nd episode.

Hope that unattractive Dark Elf wouldn't follow Itami permanently, just three girls from another world is enough.

8/10

Rory will forever be in the top of the dominance category but Ducy Yao Ha has got to be at the pinnacle of the sexy hot one, even Luna got nothing on her :D so Itami will only meet Ducy in the second half but the show got me laughing every episode even with the lamest of dialogues and thats a good thing :) Thie series is pretty much all about the ladies :D Lelei la for her maturity, Luna for her cheerful aura and Pina for her curiosity :)

I gave the show 6/10 when it started but I end it with an 8/10, totally deserve it :D

The split cour announcement had me disappointed. If you never thought you could manage 24 episodes straight, then don't announce it like so from the beginning.

Now we gotta wait another three months before we get back to Yao's story, the conclusion of the red dragon, the politics within the Empire, as well as Shino's much anticipated "badass" moment....

So much rot....


For those not complaining like a mofo, see y'all in 3 months.

Shame that the show will be a split-cour. Considering there's a lot of sequel titles this autumn/fall, this will limit my choices a bit more. -_-

Nevertheless, the show was really fascinating from start to finish. Good homour, mixed with an enjoyable cast and great art & consistent animation.

Overall, an 8/10 and Rory remains the best character of this show. =3

Sounds like Itami is getting quite a reputation...

Also, the generals refuse to help, but "Itami might"? That's not how chain of command works. Although I suppose the general just said that he wouldn't order his men to do it, but perhaps if a squad volunteered, then that might be ok. And I think we all know that he will.

Odd place to split the season, although maybe it will make more sense when we see the next ep. But still, sad to hiatus because this was quite an interesting show.

It was skipped in the anime, however, that Piña in the original novel tried to pick up some weapons from the blood bath at Hakone to get them back to the Empire. I know Piña and her girls love the art. But they are soldiers at the same time. I'm not saying they are malicious at all but I just mean it is natural and how they should be to begin with.

True, but what the General is trying to do is to find a way out of a potential political, not a military, situation. He could send forces without violating any orders, but he is worried about is the political fallout back home should something go wrong (if violating borders restarted the war, or if there were too many casualties). Itami is the perfect way out of this situation, his personal connections with the Gate People could help mitigate any problems violating borders could have, and he has a history with the dragon that people back home can sympathize. The General wants to help, but he has to mitigate downside risk; Itami does this the best, which is why he is the "only one who could do it".

I was wondering where they would stop since there really isn't a good place to stop for quite a while in the story. I actually liked that they ended this way rather than doing a cliffhanger.

As for a split cour, this is just the nature of Japanese animation right now with so many individual shows and the need to keep everyone busy. Because of this lead times for animation shrinks, so animation is actually occurring while the show is airing; this gives them a breather. Plus I wonder if the new "Silver Week" (a national three day holiday occurring Sept 21st - 23rd) has something to do with this. Losing a week of production time is something that really cannot be caught up on, split cours deals with this problem. It would be interesting to see if split cours occur more when a show is a winter (ending in March with Golden Week being in April/May) or summer (ending in Sept) show than when a Spring or Fall show.

The Princess and Knights are using the BL to move Intel without being caught by Intel section. Yes the Military wants the empire to make peace by showing how powerful it is.. But does that mean everyone in the Government does? No, because you have outside geopolitical elements involved who don't want peace in this series. How could China move Billions of ppl into the special region without just cause? Or the good old USA getting hands on the available resources.. and Russia waiting patiently to scoop it all up.. Peace is not what they want. Remember our world episodes and what happened, the military knew what was happening. OK my rant is done... ugh.. have to wait until winter season.. ugh.. rerun time.

Yeah, good show. I was definitely expecting some kind of mindless ecchi-harem and I was so damn wrong. The political and government issues were very well handled. Not too much action but the battle with the red dragon was just fine. And the one with Rory and the soldiers! damn. I liked this passive girl, Lelei. I didn't care too much about Tuka, she wasn't very relevant this season. My favorite of course was Rory. Such a badass!
Fine and entertaining show overall. Amazing ending song.

I read the manga as well. So am aware of the "deleted" scenes from the manga. The novel has even more details of the story.
