| They added so much useless crap to the first episode. If they'd just stuck to the source material or the manga, it would have been much better. Especially if they'd actually shown him doing anything during the crisis. I get the feeling that this will be absolutely nothing like the original :( I was so looking forward to this too :( Oh well, if I try really hard not to think of the original, this might be okay. |
| Why do they even need to use the otaku concept here? gosh... just makes me so tired. It was a cool episode and all with the military, but Im constantly getting reminded of his otaku shit. He seems like a decent guy who knows his ways around martial arts and not afraid to kill a monster. But ofc hes an otaku also. How else would you start a story? |
| I enjoy the concept of modern military vs. a fantasy world & I'm excited to see how they'll go expanding on that. I like how they didn't pussyfoot around and went straight into the action. I was almost starting to think they'd be building up the whole "going across the gate" bit for an episode or two. Looks great, and again.. Japan, so for the character to show some odd qualities (Being an Otaku) was expected. It's called fan pandering and a shit ton of anime do it. At least in this case, he doesn't seem too out there and is an older guy with his life already kind of set in place. Makes it a bit more interesting versus stuff where we've got your typical High School student involved with military and is some sort of hardcore soldier. Looking forward to the next eppy. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Damn, I could tell that OP was Kishida Kyoudan before the vocals even started. |
 |
| I watching this for the voice role of Haruka Tomatsu, Yoko Hikasa, and Maaya Uchida (based wikipedia). |
| Came here for the Gothic loli... only appeared as a cameo... *dissapointed* The story is great I suppose. Kind of confusing at first, but explained quite well. So the Gate that connects between two worlds. The MC is an otaku who cared more of his hobby than his job. Interesting how the story would go. An otaku, which some people can relate, that save the world from monsters. I'll keep watching this to see the gothic loli lol. Also an interesting story line, combining military and monsters. Modern and traditional fight style (guns and swords). Oh I also just realized this is a 24 episodes anime. I'm glad that it wouldn't be too much rushed then. Too much anime is crammed into 12 episodes with lots of skipped content.... *cough cough* Yamada-kun. |

| lol the premise/first 10minutes of this episode were hilariously bad.. looks like I'll drop this in 2 weeks. |
 |
| So many good anime in this summer, and this is one of them And I'm surprised that this have 24 epsodes, I was expecting it to be 12 episodes like Outbreak Company |
| just pointing it to everyone who might not know: but there actually aren't plot hole for this first episode, specifically there is one that people think is though: "he stubbed a random guy and become a military wtf?!?!1?" he's a frikkin military on-rest, because you know, there are a good chunk of miltaries that are anime-otaku in the world. yes, i am serious. anyway i was waiting for an anime like this from a while, i was even proposed to translate the manga in my language from english, but my group decidded it was too much work for something they weren't even interested... |
| Long live Japan! Slaughter all those dam primitive being!. MC is hella cool, i got anxious when they were going through that gate. could be one of my tops of the season. |

| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Loved it. Felt intense when they were going through the gate, and I felt some thrill. Can't wait till next week. |
Holybond94 said: This guy, just sliced the throat of a human from a different world, and didn't even bat an eyelash. Blood splattered all over his chin, and clothes. Apparently that's not a problem for an Otaku that only cares about his hobbies of murder, and waifu loving. well, i guess that they trained him well when he was a military, because you know, they mention multiple times that he was taking some time off from his work, which was being a member of the JSDF. |
| Hmm, this is pretty unique. Very interesting. 4/5 |
Holybond94 said: But wasn't this before he became apart of the JSDF? I don't know, it just seemed pretty weird that a civilian could instantly adapt to such a situation. Watch the episode again. Look at the subs when the newspapers are shown: "Offduty SDF official saves civilians..." Who could that "offduty SDF offical" be? Obviously it's Itami. It seems incredible how so many people didn't notice the fact that he was already part of the military just because they missed that line... I can understand when people don't realize that 'that person' who gave the order to evacuate the civilians was the Japanese Emperor himself, as many people don't know that the Japanense still have their Emperor (and it's easy to miss that they were at the royal palace), but to miss that Itami was just on vacation from the military... |

ryuixyui said: Another crappy Harem anime... Sigh... To make it special, let's add violence... while it may be a harem anime given the characters we've seen in the op, we don't know for sure, and violence is a needed element as the main elements here are "classic fantasy" and "pseudo-realistic military", and i like that, the military part i mean. |
| Well... this was interesting. GOOOOO OTAKUU SAN!!!!!! 5/5 nice start. Caught my attention for sure. |

| This anime is very pushed so far. Things just happened, just cause. And yet once again Maaya is in this anime as well. She is becoming the next kamihanazawa. I don't mind her as much as kamihanazawa, since she's not a one trick pony. The anime seems interesting so far, is this the junketsu no maria for modern warfare? |

Jean_Claymore said: [/quote][spoiler] LOL, at first I thought it was faked, it sort of looked photoshopped in, but a few seconds before when the showed the entire unit, you can see they had flags in front of them, so there should be a flag there. But that isn't the rising sun flag (the rising sun is the naval flag with the 16 rays). That is the JSDF ground flag which has 8 rays and only dates back to 1954. So the censor is not only an ass, but an idiot. As for the need for rays, sort of obvious. Red dot in the middle of a white field, when the wind isn't blowing it would look like the flag of surrender. |
| Someone asked me to describe this anime, so I said "Evil Lord of the Rings vs. modern day Band of Brothers. They meet through the Star Gate". Yeah, this anime is really promising and I'm very eager for the next episode. There looks to be several interesting plot lines. I'm betting that the orphan girl will be back, as a cameo if nothing else, but I hope they do something with her. It would be something new from the manga's story (haven't read the novel yet). From some of the previous commentary looks like I'm one of the few manga's fans that actually like this anime. Watched the Preview for Ep 2 on YouTube. Looking good! |

Most of them either seem to dislike changes just because there are "changes" (though the manga isn't even the source material in the first place), while others are angry that they don't get "edgy" gore with one-dimensional barbaric villainous Roman invaders.

| This is actually interesting, I expected a lot worse. My only qualm is the otaku protagonist. |

Redhead_Tsundere said: This is actually interesting, I expected a lot worse. My only qualm is the otaku protagonist. well, it actually makes sense, a random military would have been there with a good reason only if he was an otaku(and rest assured i've known a good chunk of otaku militaries), so i don't see a problem with it. |
| I was skeptic of this at first and even after the first few minutes, but it grew on me and I really like the MC. I hope to see that it doesn't degrade. |
 |
| It was okay, I mean it certainly has potential and I like the idea of a war between a modern and a fantasy army, but the MC's constant fixation on events being cancelled and otaku shit throughout the whole invasion was just really jarring and hard to watch. I guess I'll check out the manga, but I'm going to keep my expectation low on this one. |

The problem with that definition is it downplays the comedy of this series (which I think is it's main selling point). So, a comedy with serious overtones, which accurately portrays a modern military, as well as the brutality of war, and a country discovering a "new world" where every fantastical element thought of by man is realized, in an accurate geopolitical context, but while never losing sight that the human touch is most important. Reminds me of O'Neill from Stargate. |

| Well, it looks promising... But the way the LN/manga readers are complaining already.. I wont get my hopes up. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Pretty much as expected so far - a more serious version of Outbreak Company. |
 |
| This is very similar to Outbreak Company, but this one is a bit more realistic as it uses the warfare more instead of communicating first to the other world people at the start. |
