Rory never ceases to amaze me. Seeing her plans to seduce Itami was blocked by the new character Yao, who misunderstood her being too young to drink alcohol and Itami being close to her and all. Then Rory acted as a damsel in distress just to troll on Itami during the confrontation too!

I do wonder though, does she have any feelings for Itami as of now?

Overall, a pretty good and amusing episode. =D

From that very same scene in the manga (just before her "fantasy"):
(inner thoughts)

"How many centuries have passed since I last enjoyed being with a man?"
"Itami Youji. A man from another world."
"He may be bland, but there is something captivating about him."
"The few remaining decades until I ascend into godhood.."
"If it's with Youji-"

So, well..

Edit: oh, and after that "fantasy":
(inner thoughts)

"At least that was how it should have been."
"I was getting him drunk at a good pace."
"But you..you had to..."
"treat me, Rory Mercury, like a brat." (directed at the dark elf)

So the dark elf intervened in Rory's plan :P I was surprised that she starting acting like that.
It is sad to see Luna wandering the town, because she won't accept the fact that her farther is dead.

So... about the Pina part... she said that the imperial faction of the senate wanted to get all the army under the emperor's control in order to attack the JSDF again, and the senatorial faction wanted to get the army under the senate control and "persuade Japan to return beyond the gate peacefully". Did I miss something here? Because this makes no sense for me.

I mean, why would Sugawara agree with the plan to ally with the senatorial faction? Wouldn't the "return beyond the gate" thing make everything they did up until now pointless? I thought they wanted to "peacefully coexist" with the people of the new world. Japan could simply give back the imperial prisoners and leave for good instead of all that political effort if they wanted to follow that senatorial faction plan...

It is because the empire is a mixture of many groups of doves and hawks.
It is very important, or I have to say indispensable, to make the number of both the countries in the Special Region and their novels and common people being friendly, or at least unhostile, towards the SDF as large as you can before you start to make a deal with both of them (I mean doves and hawks).

Even though you have enough power to make a deal with the senatorial faction only and you can protect and/or support its members and their people to begin with, the consequences will make almost all matters about politics, economy, military and others in the empire become heavy burdens you must deal with for a long time. The forces far away from their homeland are now trapped by countless quagmires there and cannot return. If they stop supporting, or even worse, if the gate suddenly closed (who knows when it happens...), then it will cause a huge civil war inside and among the countries.


What exactly are the Doves and the Hawks? They just kept saying it throughout the episode but I still don't understand..
When you said "forces trapped by countless quagmires" were you refering to Japan or the empire?

How is it a harem when when there is only one girl that is showing interest in itami as a man?
large female cast /= a harem show.

I don't think it's a harem... The only one interested in Itami is only Rory and probably the ex-wife. There is no harem tag in this anime or the novel. So no, it's not a harem.

It was explicitly stated:
The Hawks are the ones who want to continue the war, believing they can somehow defeat Japan.

Doves are people who want to negotiate a peace with Japan, preferably with it withdrawing back beyond the gate and leaving them be.


Now, the Hawks are also royalists, and the doves anti-royalists, but that's not really important to the label, but rather a probable underlying reason for some individuals.

not even those, they're using type 64 which while still being present in the jsdf, they are getting replaced by the type 89 still today(disposable goods, given that japan doesn't fight much...)


Er, even the Phantom is still in active service, and as well as the Type 74. Oh and you mean Type 90 too (the Type 89 is an IFV that hasn't appeared in Gate)...the older ones are not completely being replaced since they're limiting production of the new ones (because most of them are made locally).


He was referring to their service rifles. They are using the old issue Howa Type 64 rifles instead of the current service rifle the Howa Type 89. It's actually a very big deal since one is a 7.62x51mm battle rifle and the other is is a 5.56x45mm. It would be like the US issuing soldiers M14s again instead of M16/M4s (Tho I'd personally prefer that lol)

Anyone else getting that Record of Lodoss War vibe? Especially with the Dark Elf being introduced. Not the storyline exactly, but the character appearances so far. Deedlit = Tuka, Pirotess = dark elf chick, Itami = Parn, and red dragon = as himself... lol plus that dwarf looking dude in this episode who looks like the dwarf from Lodoss too.

Yes, and no. But you'll see, and understand my "yes and no" response soon enough.


Wasn't thrilled with the Dalilah, bunny girl, intro this episode. She comes off as just a generic barmaid character. It makes me wonder if they're even going to use her side story in the anime series.

Are you sure? The LN novel is 10/16 (reprint) volumes, and the manga is 7 volumes and ongoing. We're currently at manga vol 3, ch 27 and thereabout.

I think the anime is supposed to be 2x12/13, not 2x24..so we're almost done with the
first season/split and not "less than half the season".
If it is longer..yay. :)

One can only hope.

If it is a tight fit to begin with (I don't know atm), then a couple of episodes is quite alot.

Rory has been stealing the spotlight all throughout the show and she does it again!! XD so guessing the harem factor has increased even more for Itami now :) The elf race are just so unlucky in this series, hope Dushi's race doesn't go extinct like Tuka, that would be depressing :(

I'm not sure how they plan to end the series though and I meant it as in after 24 episodes. I think they may present/bring closure to both worlds which could be the best way.

Pina has more guts than most of the other characters.

"Were you up all night again. It's not good to push yourself so hard."
"I know. But the Empire's survival rests on making peace with Japan. This is no time to worry about my health."

"Are you sure you're all right?"

"I couldn't, no."

Episode when a certain dynamism in the plot, an advancement of the latter is quite unusual, given the past. Narration that shows few jumps in the narrative context, quite linear in its exposure. Drawings average, ditto animations. I wonder if the dark elf's arrival is just an excuse to lengthen the stock and then not have a specific purpose in the main story. I go now to see the last episode, I'm quite curious how ends the first season of this anime.

Cockblocking ep 5: Rory Strikes Back. Ep 11.

Plot: Returning to Alnus, Pina and others help to bring negotiations between Japan and the Empire. Itami and co watch over the new town made for refugees but a new Dark Elf named Yao has come seeking their aid to kill a red dragon. While Itami heads off to the Imperial Capital, Yao meets with the JSDF.

Character: Itami's got a little gray in him during the talk of Tuka. I can't fault him for it but I do think they should get around to telling her the truth.

Yao is either gullible or clueless. Probably both. Rory is a poor dear who keeps getting blocked. If it happens again, she's gonna kill someone.

Animation/sound: It was a fun little thing.

4/5. The penultimate leaves enough that there is material for season 2. Let's see how this ends.
