Great start to the second season!

Really liked the new OP/ED!

Pina's bro is a real jerk and I hope he gets what he deserves!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Well I certainly wasn't expecting that scene at the beginning with the bunny girl. Not a bad start, even if it was rushed like others are saying. Lets see how they deal with this earthquake.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

The emperor was awfully calm for a ruler of an empire who could be easily destroyed.

Pina's reaction, those another world people never experienced earthquake before?

Very slight spoiler of ep 2:

Spoiler for the Bunny Queen:


I feel like S2 will let people down for a bit because the dark elve arc is not on par with the rest going on. It gets more interesting the more the whole diplomatic game gets underway with Sugawara on top of his game.

Zorzal (cocky prince brother) wasn't enough of a douchebag in this episode for my liking. Yeah, he has rough sex with the bunny queen and they can't show him doing what he really did. It's just his core personality wasn't enough" self centered ego with a complete lack of education and a grasp of the situation" enough for me.

I actually liked that they down played that, as well as drawing him more like a traditional prince, because the manga made it too easy to dismiss the person instead of the title, whereas in history, the title, not the person needs to be demeaned.

Great that Gate's back but did not expect it to start this way. The asshole prince earned my hate after the beginning scene.

The OP was good(Although I noticed they re-used scenes from S1). Gotta watch the ED seperate to decide if I liked it or not.

All in all good episode and gonna have to mentally prepare myself since I heard it gets darker.
Oh yeah and wanted to see more of Rory.

I hate the scene where Prince rape and mistreats the poor "usagi girl"...

It was a wonderful first chapter. Epic super new season is coming! I have nothing more to say, but ... DIE YOUNG PRINCE FOR MISTREARING THE POOR USAGI GIRL.

Anyway, good night!

Well ok, kind of a mellow episode compared to the majority of last season, but i like the direction of where the anime is heading towards - you can tell that they're dropping the comedy/quirkiness slightly and opting for the more serious, dark sorta vibe coming into season 2. Which kinda makes sense since they're going to plunge into the Empire's politics etc.

Also ... Rory, Lelei and Tuka in JSDF uniforms and being recruits? That was a pretty amazing ED i would say.

What? Why did they change the interaction between Itami and Pina?? In the manga, it showed that Pina has an affection (to a degree ) or a crush on Itami during the Garden Party. Anyways, it was kind of great that they sticked to the adaption somewhat(Especially with the Bunny Rape), but they did cut some interactions which could have made the viewers go "kyaa!!"

Can someone please explain to me, why the English subtitles say "Sugawara-dono", when the character clearly says "Sugawara-sama"? I know this question has actually nothing to do with anime per se, but I am simply confused as per why would sub group change one Japanese title into the other. So weird.

I'm still watching the ep, I'll write something more about it once I'm done.
This is just my speculation, but I'm guessing there were at least 2 people working on the subtitles. The first maybe translated "Sugawara-dono" and "Sugawara-sama" as the same thing (for example "Sir Sugawara").

Then a second person saw the first line with his name and heard "Sugawara-dono", so did a "Find & Replace" of all instances of the translation to "Sugawara-dono". But they didn't notice the dialogue in later instances was "-sama" instead of "-dono".

I would say this was a pretty good episode to get us back into the gate universe by showing us the poltics of what is going down, introducing new characters like that ass prince that I think we can all agree we want dead after seeing that brutal scene with the bunny warrior chief. It was also interesting that they didnt really show much about the dark elf even though that was the big thing in the last episode of season 1 and I thought would be the main thing in the first episodes of this season to which it was not plus they hardly even showed Rory, Lelei, and Tuka which was weird as well. Still I think it was a good episode that got me glad this is back and I can't wait to see what will happen with this whole earthquake incident.

Knew the anime only fanbase would be thrown off with the rape scene in this episode. First cour was very PG compared to the manga. Good episode. Now I'm really interested in how they are going to pull of the next episode.

Haha nice, they had to get Kishida Kyoudan and the Akeboshi Rockets to do the OP again. Wouldn't have felt right if they didn't.
And one of my favorite shows from last year is back! This is awesome. Looking forward to see what happens in this arc.

Good first episode. As usual they do a great job leaving you off on a good part.

Welcome back. The prince is an asshole. No Rory.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

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.

The bunny girls remind me of Panne in Fire Emblem



Can't blame the prince for that honestly


Still, I'm pretty excited for this cour, I hated the first until at least almost halfway through it. Judging by how the series is going then this one will be even more absurd that the last.

"Caution - Princess at Work". Many of Pina's interactions are politically motivated. At Italica, she threw Bozes at Itami to try to fix up the political disaster of his encounter with her knights. At Alnus, she tried to throw herself at Itami because she was worried he'd report to his general that the Empire had breached the treaty. After seeing what the JSDF can do, she's determined to cut some kind of a deal. She meets the commanding general, and he's coldly polite to her, as befits a meeting with a representative of the enemy.

From her perspective, the trip to Japan didn't go all that well. She was sent to Japan's Foreign Ministry for a rather cold meeting. "This is not a peace conference", she's told. She's given a list of thousands of prisoners Japan has on an island somewhere, and told she can name fifteen to be returned. Then they ship her back, along with an ambassador from Japan.

So now she's working a vote in the Imperial Senate. She's a competent politician, knows who to talk to and how to work them. She helps Itami and Sugawara move things in the direction she wants them to go. She socializes with themi when it's politically useful.

But look what happens when she gets back to her own palace. She tells the people from Japan they can stay there, and dumps them on her large house staff to get them settled. She goes off alone, perhaps to relax, more likely to meet with her own advisors, as we've seen her do twice before.

Pina is a working princess in a political capital. Those are rare in anime and popular literature, but have a solid backing in history. This is the real deal, not a fairy-tale princess.
