They really played the real-live catastrophe card just a few years after the big earthquake, to make their beloved JSDF look even better? That's just grim and inapropriate...

And I have to agree with the previous poster, that attacking a prince in a medieval world right in front of his father the king, may be a very stupid idea, even if they touched one of your precious citizens. Because that may just have caused an outright war, which - and I have to disagree there with the previous poster - the modern weapons will very likely win, but that's not the issue right here. The issue is, that it would almost turn the kingdom into a mix of Nanjing and the imperial japanese army, or in short a bloodbath without any reason.
But sadly, realistic politics or reason are overshadowed in this anime by heroism and survival of the one with the better weapons (not even of the fittest, because soldiers in medieval times were actually pretty tough; that iron armour isn't paper mache after all)

Another incredible show, the earthquake was just a warmup, but when Prince Hunter shows up with a Japanese slave things fall apart pretty quick and Prince Hunter got his men killed and got himself beat up by a LITTLE GIRL!

I enjoyed seeing an F-4 Phantom II drop a Mk-82 with a laser guidance package and take out an important but empty building, but it brings me to the one complaint I have about Gate - why such ancient aircraft? Although it looks cool, but I have no love for the F-4, never did, it was a cool looking plane but it's time came in 1966 and went in 1976. Japan is flying some awesome aircraft, including F-15's and F-16, and were flying them long before Gate became an anime.

And what's with the Huey's? Another aircraft that the SDF retired for Blackhawks and V-22 ospreys. There's a scene from season 1 plucked straight from Apocalypse Now where the Huey crewman sits on his helmet, why would you worry about that when striking a target with no AA capability?

And what's with the Cobra gunships when the SDF has the MUCH cooler Apache's

I love the Chinooks however. Great plane!

Speaking of Apache helicopters, here's the happiest attack helicopter in the SDF, the good ship Wakana Kisarazu

If I remind myself of how useless I was, I'll refer back to the Emperor being a dumbass.

He'll pay the price obviously.

Definitely this was the most graphic episode. What a disgusting guy that Zorzal is, when Itami gave the order to shoot I got excited thinking that they would shoot that bastard.

Poor little Noriko, I am sincerely against peace with the Empire, JSDF should have bombed the entire capital

There's a small part of me that wonders if modern day soldiers would actually act so honourably even with all the policies. I'm sure there will be some, but deep in enemy territory in a meeting that's supposed to be diplomatic? Especially in a medieval court of a king/emperor, it could have led to a bloodbath.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Fuck yeah that prince asshole got beat!  The bunny defended him though :(, I hope she finds better than that dirtbag.  I mean sure, instead of being used by multiple guys she is the prince's whatever but he's still an asshole that treated her like shit >:(.  Not cool man, NOT cool.

Not sure if bombing that senate building was the correct course of action if you're trying to complete peace talks, since it only increased tensions between these two worlds. I do, however, get that the JSDF aren't messing around regarding captured civilians.

Looks like bunny girl is either embodiment of Stockholm syndrome, or has ulterior motives.

Who is Hiroki anyway? Noriko mentioned him, but it didn't explain his relation to her.
