I like that "showing of japanese military power."
They should be glad they don't have to see the USA... or say back in WW2 era, Britain, Nazi, USSR... Even modern day Russia, China... And be fortunate to not face a nuke or orbital bombardments... They could 1-shot that dragon if they brought some big gnarly howitzer or a railgun in lol. Though if they wanted to go for the most style, it'd be A-10's and/or AC-130.

Nice to see this show back on air, though i didn't expect to see a rape scene.
Yes, more Rory.

Episode not boring, given the good of many events, but certain contexts clash with the atmosphere of the narrative of a different thickness, narrative it picks up where it ended the first part of the anime, so there are many problems in the latch on history. The drawings and the animations are good, but some dips should not happen, because in the end the animation studio does not make a good impression, oh well!Now produce a thousand thousand anime each season, it has become a routine. ^^ "
The characters grow in number, the main plot is only hinted at, oh well!

That bunny rape was very unexpected... and I was watching with my big sister... awkward lol.

The lack of Rory screen time disturbs me. Despite being main characters, the 3 of them only did cameo role this episode like Gate episode 1.

I hope it goes well and we might get a season 3 ^^ the sales on season 1 is not that awful. 5k-6k is quite well for BD sales.

I like the ending animation here than the last season. It was funnier not to mention cuter with every Rory scenes. Like at the end where Rory make weird faces lol. Best girl <3

Eh, the animators right now are in "damned if you do, damned if you dont" situation.

If they become more dark people will bitch about how dark it is, be disturbed or just simply not like the dark aspects.

If they become more light people will bitch about it being not serious, not worth to watch.


Also a message for the manga readers. The animators CANNOT include everything from the mangas. These are two dcompletely different mediums with completely different wealth of content. They just cannot put everything in 12 episodes.

And again, instead of bitching about an anime just go back to reading the manga, its that simple.


As a peson who didnt read the original material i like gate very much, i find everything fitting. I find the anime serious enough but also light enough at the same time to not become one of the two extremes.
There is no "Good or "bad" anime. There is only different anime.

Without having read any source material, I've come up with a theory about why the rape scene was included. In most anime(s), when a dragon is destroying a village or people are getting killed or violated, then it's a setup for a hero to rescue them. Itami is obviously being charged with this task, much like Hercules was charged by Zeus to his tasks to become a hero. In Itami's case, he has to kill a dragon and rescue a damsel in distress. Either way, whether by creator choice or not, it boosted google searches rankings worldwide... The publicity imho was not needed or maybe it was?... Only the marketing department knows...

EDIT: I noticed some are getting their bunny girls wrong, the one that was violated was "Warrior Bunny Queen." Not the ones that work in a tavern or the one that works as a maid.

Only when it's the last episode of the series and has no resolution in the follow up.

Anyway, glad this is back, the pacing is fast, but it's not a problem really, just as intriguing as the first half already.

zorzal got a huge make-over eh. also the prostitutes became well dressed. haha.. let see how will they show us the next episode. pretty intriguing for the sake of censorship. Maybe they will rush this part up to 3eps but surely it was one of the best part of the manga so i hope they will not rush it that fast.

That report must have been quite harsh, given that no soldiers were willing to risk it.

i think you're mixing up what rory is for a what the child was.

rory is a loli.
the vip daughter is a child.

unless you mean that sugawara is trying to take the place of itami, then you should check the meaning of your words.

That's an unusual definition of loli you're using. Usually that daughter is considered a loli, and Rory is just permanently teenage.

it's simple, just think: what's the point of saying "loli" if you can say "child"? simple, because loli means a character with a childish body(rory, blanc from hdn, a lot of characters from disgaea and lucky star,etc...) that have passsed puberty, and not "child".

Because "loli" is a lot shorter than "female child character that is drawn in an attractive way and might get involved in romantic plots". Thus, Hanamaru Youchien's MC is not a loli, while Kodomo no Jikan's MC is a loli. (they are quite similar, but Hanamaru's MC doesn't have a chance)

Even though it was censored, the rape scene was still a bit intense.

A little ridiculous that they decided to show that scene, yet fucked over so many other hardcore scenes in the first cour (cough cough, Rory killing the bandits). Seriously...why couldn't they do that for all of the scenes that they cut? I'd rather have a toned down version than none a all.

They even included the scene with the whore buying condoms and the STD report on the table.

More Kishida Kyoudan is always a plus.

This cour is already shaping up to be better than the first half.

By the way, that scene made me think "I've already seen this hentai somewhere. Dozens of times.". So it was easy for my imagination to fill in stuff and make the scene worse.

Dude, get yourself a copy of Lolita, a novel by a Russian author, Vladimir Nabokov. That's the very literary work that gave birth to the famous term, Lolita Complex. The people of Japan shortened that term into lolicon.

gonk, damn i am late...yeehaa it's now begun again. Finally.

*EDIT*
Opening is Good. don't know if 1st or this was better tough.

Bastard Prince has Arrived...Zorzal...One of the most hated Characters in this universe....true arrogant War Monger. Truly, Truly Hate this Guy...on top of that..he is utter Moron in politics.

But Tyuule...This Warrior Bunny Chief..is not any Better, Total Bitch. and traitor to her kind. Both of them are the most hated characters.

Ah, Sherry has arrived huh...Poor Suguwara...misunderstandings is future will be hilarious.

ah, basic tactics on Politics...even if I don't know nothing of them, on other hands show the Good side and gains the Empire will get from Peace, but in other Hands show them Might of the Modern weapons and fate of the Empire's soldiers if they fight against them.

"Does not look good"...still took 2 basket per rider with 4 meat each. And Pinã reaction to that amount of money because of misunderstanding was hilarious. Very nice start.

XD speak as you like Molt...it will be you how will bow down in the end...especially when you personally see their Might

ah sex education and sexual diseases treatment in slums, begin. and Now Earth Quake comes...beast people sense it first it seems.

Nice ending...ROry, Leilei and Tuka in Military Uniforms!! X3 Lol..looks like Kurebayashi has stopped wearing those weast that hide hers Chest..hey that Trims.

Rated a 3 out of 5

Explaining why in a few points.
1- I tend to dislike the type of antagonist written to make you hate them (Animal Human hybrid "toy" and his Barbaric nature). But he didn't get to much screen time so maybe it's to early to judge.
2- Also not a huge fan of rape scenes even if it was pretty mild for a "rape" sence.
3- Where is Rory?
4- Kind of lacking for a first episode of a season at least for me, however not a huge deal since the last season was in summer.


Yeah this pretty much. One of the reasons i disliked Sword art online so much was because the Alfheim arc introduced the rapey-forced-marriage-antagonist (besides the usual points why it wasn't so good). I have never been a huge fan of rape-scenes and i preferred the anime over the manga because i was hoping to avoid stuff like this D:
Schmecks and prostitution and bdsm are okay as long as it is willingly and i have no problem with gore whatsoever but slaves and forced-stuff always crossed the line for me.

About the "first episode stuff". Yeah it kind of felt weirdly paced together and rushed. Typical "here are the bad guys and here are the good guys. Look how good the good guys are and how bad the bad guys are." Plus if they want to stay true to the manga showing a rape-scene seems okay, while leaving out way more stuff that could have made the episode interesting? Judging by the other comments it is a major plot point but if it is not i'm really gonna get salty.

Oh! And once again- fucked up body proportions.

I can see it now, stuka dive bombers delivering ordnance from above (jericho trumpet wailing on the dive), with panzers and halftracks tearing through the weak Empire faster than they did to France.

Is the ending sang by the three main girls? Nice touch.

Didn't expect a rape scene since this struck me as a not too serious show. Guess I was wrong. Good start to the series, could have been a bit better, but they did pick up immediately where S1 ended which is why it felt like a normal episode. Still enjoyed it.

OP visuals packed with hype, very nice. ED trio cute, Rory faces.
S1 so heavily censored, surprised this starts more serious issues like prostitution & class difference.
So many names mentioned in the party, totally confused all the country/district alliances. Seems 2 senators secretly came to get in peace talks, and can't be known to the capital. But the king doesn't care about negotiations, yet doesn't want to lose?
Dark elf has some plan, but talking to birdbrain hardly works lol.
