| Decent first episode, don't know what to make of it though. It does have potential but the mixture is a strange one. |

greed2 said: If possible, can someone explain to me that, during the chaos, they were hesitant to open the Caste's doors so that they can save the citizens sooner? It seems a bit common sense to do that quickly rather than wait for permission; of course, I could be wrong and they really do need permission in real life. It's the imperial palace where the Japanese Emperor resides... it's like asking "do they really have to ask permission to enter Buckingham palace?" |

|
| omg, actual Japanese army fights not high school girls or robotic demons :D Definitely watch this. Dragons vs Helicopters damn :D |
| j-just because I want to join the SDF.. doesn't mean I like you or anything! |
I'm a jazz number with no beat, tune, or direction. |
| Looks promising. I hope it doesn't go all "Look how awesome the JSDF is! JOIN TODAY" though. |
 |
| Seems like this could be interesting... One point I wasn't sure on, was he in the self-defense force before that or because he did good they just put him in there? |
giraffesyo said: Seems like this could be interesting... One point I wasn't sure on, was he in the self-defense force before that or because he did good they just put him in there? One of the newspaper called him "offduty SDF official", so yes, he was already part of it before it all happened. No mere civilian would simply get promoted to a military officer like that. Also there was a mistranslation. He was promoted to first Lt. instead of second Lt. actually. |
|
| Not bad first episode. Of course I expect the violence and ecchi from the manga to be toned down, but we'll see how it plays out in the first few episodes. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| How are you guys saying this episode was fine? It was ridiculously bad, I never seen an episode so rushed before, they didn't explain anything, everything came out of nowhere, at one moment the guy is an otaku and suddently, boom, he is from the military. I still think this series is gonna be good, but this episode was just garbage. |
| OP was awesome! as much as there are many hating comment...I actually like this! character art design seems same as SAO...well of course since its A-1. 4/5. |
 |
| This is closest to the reality what would happen if a portal to an another world is opened. Pretty good stuff so far. 4/5 |
 |
| Finally...have been waiting...this is damn interesting series...and damn Great. 1st Opening....Fits well and Song is good Too. Art looks great...tough Characters look different from their Manga Versions. ..Itami's Seyu (voice actor) fits him.. damn I am somewhat enjoying seeing how the freaking Empire is getting their Men Slaughtered by the Modern Weaponry..You do Not F**k with Earth...especially with JSDF!!! That Fantasy World just Bite More than They could Chew. But Itami....Doujinshi Sale...is more important that A Fact There Is Medieval Fantasy Army Invading and Killing? LOL!!! well all we at least know that You are 1 the Most Reliable Officers in Army...MC Hero! XD Adventure Begins!!!! XD Why is everyone pissed about Cliffhanger... we will know what will happen...JSDF will Slaughter the Army. |

| Oh man I love this anime I think I will complete it and than I'm going to read the manga and than that is that I give it 8 /10 awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😧 |
 |
| At least Tsundora Company was funny, this was pretty meh. Oh dragons? Well whatever nobody gives a shit. Better not think about it too much, will probably try some more before I decide. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This is a dumb question, but does anyone know the grammar rule or whatever for the last word of the title (戦えり tatakaeri)? Is it a form of "tatakau"? If so, which one/what does it mean? |
| Need to watch more episodes to know what to expect from this one... |
 |
| Awesome Anime |

| Why God why so many anime have to take this lighthearted silly approach. This will be good if it was actually mature like but NO we have to make the protagonist a little silly guy that cares about nothing other than going to conventions and put some moe girls there too. And the problem is that something doesn't fit. Is like it shouldn't be this silly or something. Basically another immature work. Whether they show more violence or not it won't make it a work to be taken seriously. Overlord seem to have a kind of non serious concept (RPG game turn reality thing) but it somehow manages to feel more serious work. Maybe is just the studio that makes everything feel like an SAO moe thing. I just don't know. -_Cloud_- said: I didn't like it , the fact that the MC is an otaku totally fucked up the background and, I mean, I thought that this anime was going to be a serious anime, but no, because it's A-1 Pictures we must fall with a SAO bis, so... Romance with cute catgirls, elf, and all these shit. And the MC is fucking pathetic, people died in this attack, and what does he think about it ? "Oh noo I couldn't buy the last doujinshi" Yeah, i wonder if A-1 is what makes everything seem so immature. |

| The OP is real catchy and I cried (invisible) tears of joy on hearing Suwabe Junichi as the main character. i was getting sick of hearing Kajikaji and Matsuoka, heck I would say youthful voices in general. Hearing him as the MC is just so refreshing. Even the ED is pretty catchy esp. the instrumental. As for the episode itself, alright. Nothing impressive so far. The concept is interesting so it can actually become decent. Have some expectations. |
 |
The anime skips over the aftermath of the attack on Ginza. In a flashback in the manga, we get to see what it looked like from the Empire's side.The military has won, and the Tokyo riot cops are cleaning up, with water cannons and non-lethal weapons. Here's the endgame. This should have been in the anime. |

| Ugh, not that into it yet as I don't like military, fantasy nor action. I like the OP/ED though. Having Suwabe as the MC makes a bit more bearable. Nice visuals too! |
| Welp I guess I'm just watching cause it's rated 17+. Im not into neko girls.. |
| Well not a bad start I'd say.. It'd be nice if they showed more massacre of the civilians instead of just those goblin mobs. They even skipped mc dealing the killing stab huh.. I hope for rated 17+ it's not all just the usual fun filled fantasy. |
| Kinda like a more serious Outbreak Company. Not sure what to think of this yet since they haven't really shown the fantasy side of the story yet. |
 |
| Huh. Military otaku the anime. Ep 1. Plot: A magic gate opens in Japan and an army attacks. A SDF officer named Itami is on hand to help and the SFD to repel the forces but not without mass casualties. Sometime later and many changes to the world, the SDF dispatches a recon group to investigate the other side. CHaracter: Itami seems like a bit of dazed otaku but it was a good shock to see him kill an enemy albeit off screen. It was good to see actually. The fact that he was accidently promoted for his heroism despite not wanting it was good for a chuckle but meh. His reaction to seeing that little girl he tried to help does make things curiouser though I don't think he'll become a gung ho killer or anything. That general of the Enemy in the beginning was odd. His words and the way the animation made it seem that there should be something more to it but he's not scene after the 10 min mark. ANimation/sound: OP was okay. ED was okay. The designs were varied though Itami does seem like a stoner. The beastmen designs were simplistic but I'm guessing there saving that major money for later and the tank. 4/5. I liked it but I did wanna see more first 10 minutes take up more of the episode. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |

| This was some strange mix of being both too slowly paced in some parts and too fast paced in other parts. Some things weren't explained that probably should've been. MC reminds me of myself (and everyone else on this site probably). Most likely the only reason this show will end up being good is because of the MC being an otaku. |

| Wow, enemy forces make all the show of lighting themselves up with torches and clearly displaying their build but couldn't be fucked to even secure the immediate Gate zone. "Yeah we got fukked like scrubs last time I don't even know what is on the other side of the gate since no one survived but I guess it's fine to just sit here and wait for something to come out" I wasn't sure if they toned down on the violence because it just didn't fit with the series' overall theme or because of some other reason- Sadly I will unconsciously keep comparing the violence it to Overlord. |
| Woohoo, episode 1. Is this shit gonna turn into a harem that revolves around a 33-year-old otaku? Oh great. Everyone aboard the fucking rainbow Humvee. OP confirms that one of these girls is gonna start calling this dude Onii-chan. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |

| Quite interesting setting and concept! Looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| crazy start no idea what is happening ,the hero is an otaku i hope this is not reason why this anime is high rated |
 |
| Hahaha, when that girl just took the main character's hand, I was screaming STRANGER DANGER. Is that just me? |
 |
| Just started watching it and it's really good. The animation is well done. Of course a massive cliffhangger at the end but that's how every episode of an anime should end :) I can't wait to watch the next episode |

| Lol at the otaku MC. Sh*t hit the fan real fast in this episode. 4/5 |
 |
| I didn't even consider watching it because of the MC but I got really, really bored. And I was right. Fine concept with a possibility for some interesting or at least action packed development, people are actually dying, good graphics and BGM and all that ruined by another otaku insert cretin MC. Why? Just why? Why can't he be a normal person (soldier). Why make him a fucking otaku. It's not funny in the slightest, goes horribly with violence and only ruins the chance for a more serious tone. For fucks sake, you don't need a retard or social outcast to give a man a harem or have some humour in the series. Why use of the shittiest character tropes in the anime... |

Itami honestly is not a social outcast: he talks about the military just being his source of income for his hobby, but he is a very natural military leader: otaku is his hobby. Granted its a huge part of his life but its still just a hobby, going by how he really acts. He is a very competent professional combat arms officer. I wouldn't have minded having him as a commander. The otaku stuff has only shown up in maybe 4 or 5 episodes, and just as a little window dressing. It certainly is not the focus of the show, and its never part of the plot. |
