| It was an average episode, opening was average too. Many possibilities are still open, we will have to watch a few more episodes to determine where this is heading to. |

Rayzer said: What the Hell I just watched? Is this Outbreak Company 2.0 with heavy(?) violence? And a soldier who's just working to support his hobby being an otaku was been promoted due to his heroic action? How bad it could be? He' totally fucked screwed. With that he couldn't get time-offs now. Okay the episode as a whole was just fine. The OP was a bit lame and the ED was just fine. I'll stick watching it till episode 8, If it's terribly bad I'll drop it. But if not so bad I'll watch till the End. (Episode 24) Vooo said: Was average at best.....Outbreak Companyish Sokah said: Looks like a (much) better Outbreak Company. sirflimflam said: I watched this without reading anything about it like I do for all new season anime to give it a fair shot... At first I was unimpressed. "Oh boy, looks like we have a clone of Outbreak Company on our hands here." And then I see him dispatch a guy with a knife. I knew right then and there we were in new territory. I really liked this one and look forward to the next episode. Jamsch101 said: Not bad... Not bad at all! Looking forward to see what roles the girls play, and what happens when one pits modern military to a fantasy one. To me, the pacing blended nicely, knowing that he was in the military beforehand, and still managed to become the hero. I also got a very light Outbreak Company-ish feel from the episode. Very nice. L-Ryoshi said: Dude, I'm comparing the situations that pop up in this show to those from Outbreak Company. If you have issues with that then please be my guest and state your points. magji said: interesting first episode reminded me of outbreak company(which i still got to get back into and finish) though only by a bit was funny that the main mc only saved the people so the doujinshi exhibit wasn't canceled XD. will give a few more episodes to see if i want to continue it or not. ThreePointer said: Hey guys I found where gunslinger stratos and denpa kyoushi's budget went! Some people may say that this is just like Outbreak Company. And they are right but... idk how to defend this anime. I guess the MC took the situation in a unique way I guess. MoeGod said: Jesus Christ...how come so many people actually thinks this anime is a copy of Outbreak Company when it's actually the other way around?Damn that totally exceeded my expectation. I expected another Outbreak Company and instead got all those violence and deaths (poor girl). Still I can't see how they're going to mix this kind of action with moe elf girls and gothic lolita without actually turning into Outbreak Company. Oh well OC rather lacked in action so this may make up for it. Gate Jietai came out first and Outbreak Company tried to copy it and rip it off. It just so happens that Outbreak Company was lucky enough to have anime adaptation first. Hell, the very first Outbreak Company thread on MAL is about the OP complaining how it's an incredibly stupid version of Gate Jieitai. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=671171 Also, aside from Outbreak Company copying and ripping off the concept behind Gate Jieitai. They are nothing alike, Outbreak Company is some wish fulfillment bullshit that tried to make diplomacy in the fantasy world by turning them into otakus or some ridiculous beyond stupid reasons like that while Gate Jieitai tried to solve diplomacy through war and politics. tl;dr Outbreak Company is pretty much a poor man's Gate Jieitai and not the other way around. |
| Was onboard til’ the show tried to hammer down the fact that Itami is both soldier and otaku, with the latter being emphasized more than i was comfortable of. It makes the seriousness of the situation feel so awkward, and end up being a serious hiccup in a otherwise decent millitary-themed anime. |

 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
| This was okay, nothing too spectacular or interesting yet. Still gonna continue watching until something major happens story wise and decide then what to exactly do with this show. I wonder how much of political stuff will there be though. |
  |
| Have a mixed feeling picking this since A-1 and all. Also, why the visual in this one is much better while visuals for Denpa Kyoushi is ugly as heck!? As expected of A-1! Average otaku just turned into Lieutenant of soldiers in several days! Screw logic! Like, what did he do anyway? He's only screaming for other people to run, and just randomly and somehow skilled in stabbing one random enemy soldier! Pretty sure there are other soldiers did more than that in that incident! Why did he get so much recognition? Urgh, whatever. If there is any reason for keep watching this, is because of the 3 main girls, that's it. |
 |
| Youji sure adapted quickly to the flying dragons and mounted soldiers killing people in the streets. Barely even a 'wtf' moment. But i guess, being an Otaku and loving that sort of shit, he was right in his element. Will be interesting to see how far those tanks go in the new land, since they will take an enormous amount of fuel to keep running. They better have a great supply line, or at least several fuel trucks following. The violence of the battle was a little too toned down for my liking, but i can live with it, as long as the plot keeps me coming back. Decent start anyways. |

| Holy shit the main guy just shanked the attacker in the throat, even when he got the perpetrator in a lock and weapon out of his hand. There's even a police officer with a gun two meters away, flabbergasted of what he just saw. Jesus christ that's stone cold. Why wasn't he arrested? |

Why wasn't he arrested? because he's a soldier :) oh and i don't agree with the comments above saying the OP sucks.... it's catchy and fits the theme perfectly... the OP has a military and fantasy feeling mixed in it... though the characters design are very different compared to manga... for example |

DesuTronic said: xkinn123 said: I'm mad at how they ended this episode, leaving a HUGE cliffhanger. Isn't that a good way to make you come back for the next episode? Irksome but effective lol Anyway, this anime turned out to be everything I expected to it to be. Also, judging by the fact that it's 24 episodes long, and that the source material ends in 5 volumes, you can expect a pretty good and faithful adaption out of it, without a makeshift impromptu endings to make a season finale, and, that is often the case, are crappy. Anyway, screw magic. Modern military might should curb-stomp them orcs and flying dragon knight squadrons! |
| It was interesting at least. And finally we have a MC that isn't a highschooler. How refreshing. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
Tobinami said: because he's a soldier :) I doubt any soldier has the right to murder someone who has already been subdued. |
| Liked the OP, ED was ok. Animation was good, especially the scenes involving the tanks. This season is shaping up to be amazing. :3 |
 |
| I like how the archers did not shoot all the helicopters down. Owari no seraph and Civilization 4 trauma. |
| Nice anime, this is as good as I expected! Gotta love this show, the MC is likable the ED is catchy as heck 8/10 |

| It was not very impressive, overall quite bad I'd say. The music was okay at times. GATE is basically the Imaginationland episodes of South Park in anime form. 2/5 I guess. |

xcess090 said: Badass adult MC is such a refreshing thing to see imo Well, he acted more like a 17 year old man child, but at least we know he can be more than that. Let's see where they go with his character. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| Pretty good for starter. Haven't check the LN yet, hope this will be good. |

| Keep moving forward |
| Seems bland but MC in his 30's is a plus for sure. Cool OP. |
| Nice first episode. I,m glad the MC were adult. I smell harem at the Opening ? |

| Nice first episode. Itami was great. Though, I do like the manga's art style a lot more. |
| It was a decent first episode, although I would prefer it the invasion segment was longer, just to show more of the invaders, so we could know what drove them to the invasion. Maybe this will be shown later. Who knows. The show has much potential, hope they won't waste it. As for the upcoming three heroines, I wouldn't worry. Like in countless movies or shows, they will be there to act bewildered at every aspect of human civilization, and then foster a dialogue between Earthlings and whatever their world is called. |
| Love the first ep!! The MC is not a useless person getting saved by somebody else! He is intelligent and resourceful from the start! The episode had everything I was looking for: action, comedy, fantasy, good animation... (I really hope this doesn't end up being an harem/ecchi anime) Can wait for ep 2! |

Anyway, screw magic. Modern military might should curb-stomp them orcs and flying dragon knight squadrons! so novel has 5 volumes or you refer to manga? |

| First 5 minutes I was like "boy, that escalated quickly." Promising first episode. I definitely like the premise of the anime though. OP and ED were solid. |

tehhead said: i doubt any soldier will let an unknown perpetrator go when there is no mean to disable or stop him & said perpetrator are hellbend on hurting un-armed civilian & unmilitarize social servant it was a good decision No means to disable? The guy was unarmed in a choke lock. The police could've cuffed him then and there, plus there were several people to potentially hold him down. EVEN if he got free, what? He's gonna do damage unarmed? The police got a gun. Nope, better gut him like a pig on the spot just to make sure. I don't even know why this is an argument. Killing a subdued person with street justice would not fly anywhere in a civilized country. Here he gets ranked up. The MC is a murderer and no amount of moe spirit is going to change that. |

And where exactly would they incarcarate the captured soldier while they are in the middle of a battlefield? You make it sound like they were in a safety zone at that time controlled by their own side, but they were clearly not. |
 |
| just saying, Youji you dork, my instant husbando. hahaha ♥ the bloody attack... that tension when the troops were entering the gate... and there's still comedy in the right moments. not so easy to manage. so far another summer anime that has left me with good impressions, this season is promising to heck and back! |
 |
| It was pretty slow in the beginning but once the enemies came from the gate...shit went bad and intense hella fast. |
 |
| That was pretty good. Can't wait for more. |
