| very questionable first episode we will see. |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
| WOW this one is gold. I was planing on reading the manga/novel and then this happen. With the first episode, I already know I would love this series. I will still read the manga/novel either way. Glad this got turns into a series. |
 |
| LOVE IT. I didn't expect to be so hooked after the first episode. The main characters love for manga and how he got angry over it being cancelled reminded me of Saitama from One Punch man :D. I like the premise of the story, and when Itami killed that soldier with the knife HE WAS SOO BAD ASS, it would be interesting how he will hold himself in the world beyond the gate. Also the female characters looked pretty awesome, especially the Goth Loli like Itami said :D. |
| Looks like a (much) better Outbreak Company. |
| The mc is awesome I'm liking this anime so far The ending song is really catchy |
 |
| Hm I didn't really want to watch it at first because I'm not really a fan of military anime... but it seems fairly interesting. The protagonist actually kind of reminds me of Rider from Fate/Zero. He jokes around a lot and on the surface his priorities seem kind of off, but when it comes down to it he can take stuff seriously. |
| It's alright. They didn't f*ck up anything yet, but that could still happen. I don't trust A-1 with such a good series... but I do hope that they will change my way of thinking~ tommy9418 said: shichirin said: Question for the LN readers; Will this become a harem? Well, think about it: there are 3 main Girls in the cover and 1 MC.. so the answer to the million dollar question is? Ehem, jk aside, yep harem to go please |
| Not impressed. This show sure isnt brimming with creativity. it takes less than a minute to come up with a setting and a premise like this. Also the violence just looks funny. i Saw a guy cut half of his body open and he barely lost some blood. this was strange at best. 2/5 |

| First episode was interesting and not bad. Enjoyed it. Liking the OP, and ED is catchy, not sure if ED fits though. Looking forward to how this anime will be and looking forward to next episode. |

Tokoya said: oldskoolpunk said: It's adapting the LN not the manga From the manga, but not in the anime. One scene in the anime is completely different from the manga, and changes the whole tone of the story. In the manga, the invading Empire, briefly thinking they've triumphed, raises their flag in Ginza on a pile of Japanese bodies. That's why the JSDF goes in with a massive invasion force. In the anime, we instead have the Empire's general showing doubts about the invasion. There's not much different between the two except for the LN has more political BS. |
| We got a really good mc and a promising first episode i just hope it doesn't go for some harem with the girl in the opening |

| I didn't like it , the fact that the MC is an otaku totally fucked up the background and, I mean, I thought that this anime was going to be a serious anime, but no, because it's A-1 Pictures we must fall with a SAO bis, so... Romance with cute catgirls, elf, and all these shit. And the MC is fucking pathetic, people died in this attack, and what does he think about it ? "Oh noo I couldn't buy the last doujinshi" Well, it begins with a 3/10 for me, because the animation was not bad, and I liked the moment where the MC notice that the little girl lost his father in this attack. |
| Interesting first episode. It wasn't bad, let's just wait for more to come. |
 |
| It felt rushed with some poor moments in directing and scene transition. But other than that, it was kinda nice. The MC is somewhat funny, capable, and can actually do shit right from episode 1 which is a plus. I think I'll stick to this. I'm kinda interested on where they're gonna go with this. |
| 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. |
| Felt really boring imo. Nothing really stood out to me that much. Felt like I was watching mkx the anime. |
 |
| I actually thought it's going to be more rushed than what it is right now. I'm sad that they toned down the violence though. But I'll still hope that won't be the case since it'll get more "fun" later on. oldskoolpunk said: Sweanime said: And the MC is already a soldier from the beginning. That's not clear at all in the anime. He's a serving JSDF military officer, off duty. In the manga, when he tells the police to start an evacuation to the Imperial Palace, he flashes a military ID. "Off-duty SDF..." in the newspaper isn't clear enough? |
julyanJul 3, 2015 4:21 PM
| "Off-duty SDF official saves citizens in the chaos of the attack on Ginza" "Celebrated SDF official saves citizen with quick thinking" I am surprised so many people missed those lines or thought that it doesn't refer to Itami... I mean some people give me the impression that they think that Itami was just a part-time working civilist and got "forced to join the JSDF" without any real military experience... |
 |
| Good episode. The comedy was out of place, but the comedy was incredibly funny so it didn't bother me much. The MC is pretty out of place too, but it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to living into the world he pretty much lives for. He's a really likeable guy, and can get shit done, which is ironic considering he's an otaku, but his whole mentality of work doesn't make sense. If you work to pay for your hobby, why in the hell did you decide to join the military? I get that he's probably gonna get development to change that mentality, as foreshadowed with the little girl's father getting killed and how he reacted to it, but it's still silly. |
| 1/10 complete trash |
| I really liked this first episode, it was interesting and made me want to watch the next episode. I hope they explain the things a bit more, it felt a bit fast paced, but since it's only the first episode I'm not that worried. |
| Nothing too special of course, but not bad too.I think it's going to be a nice watch without any fireworks. |
 |
| Great start! I really liked it, hopefully it will continue to be just as gooood :P |
 |
| Nice episode, still pissed with Rori art = (what they did to my goth Loli T-T ) And that old Japanese military equipment pron *Q* |
 |
| 1. Japan has a junk military, the US, Russia, China, along with Europe would definitely go before Japan if this ever happened. 2. Monsters just invaded my effin backyard, and your telling me it takes 4 months after successful scouting trips to send a squadron of soldiers against creatures who may activate more "gates" or could attack at anytime, possibly with magic or better weapons!? Just because you add fantasy to an anime, doesnt mean it has to be unrealistic. Note: Japan has 767 active tanks in there national millitary. America has over 8,000 and we have WARheads. We also have over 3x times more planes and Japan is 10th in Military power :/ Sorry Japan :/ but your not going to be heroes anytime soon in a world crisis like "Gate" XD Still I like the character, I like the idea of Military vs Nature, and I'm a fan of a good old fashioned Journey into unknown territory. 7.5/10 |
| 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. |
 |
| only issue so far is i don't like how they draw main character when compare more realistic manga. ok pacing for first episode 7.5/10 |
Kerozinn said: Not impressed. This show sure isnt brimming with creativity. it takes less than a minute to come up with a setting and a premise like this. LOL, originality in anime? I think you're expecting FAR too much. Of the 150+ anime a year maybe 5 have even the smallest thing about them be original and fewer anything significant. I'm just happy this isn't a bunch of kids. Dear god I'm happy about that. It could have just as easily been some moronic whiny middle school boy who accidentally finds a mecha and saves Japan with his natural inborn piloting skills and sulking. |
| This anime came off with a good start. I liked the pace, and the main character is tolerable. |
 |
| Very nice beginning, I have high expectations for this anime hopefully I won't be disappointed. |
| That was a weird first ep... |
| Oh Japan, you and your naive concept of military never change. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| The violence was really toned down considering it was supposed to be like a massacre. I really hope there isn't this amount of censorship in the rest of the anime. I did like the main character and this is a pretty interesting concept. I'm gonna continue to watch. |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| a decent start...a little bit different from the manga but it's okay 6/10 for the first episode [spoiler]can't wait to see Main Mc's[spoiler]wife |
 |
| ooo this looks promising! a 33 y/o protagonist instead of another angsty high school kid? yes please |
Tokoya said: Going by what Stark said, my worries for this first episode has gone down a lot since it seems that it was adapted well and the violence wasn't censored, but the real violence happens later so hopefully it'll be okay Nah, I think this will get it's share of censor... we didn't even saw a dragon eat a single person, only implied(not that is a reason). The blood the violence that appeared only seemed like "eye candy"... Hope I'm just being cynical. |
SnaitaJul 3, 2015 7:10 PM
| I thought this was a joke until people actually started dying. This was... strange. Entertaining, but strange. I like the MC he's pretty funny, I actually laughed out loud instead of internally "heh that was kinda funny"-ing. If you're trying to fund your hobby, I really don't think the military is the best job though. I haven't read the source material so I don't know if the pacing is too fast or if it's that way in the source too. Highlights: Is that a...? No... it can't be. A BLACK GUY. Sold. 'MURICA 3/5 I guess |

| its a1 dont expect much uncensored things i rather things be impled than a jarring censor bar |
MaxXZoe said: a decent start...a little bit different from the manga but it's okay 6/10 for the first episode That won't happen until the MC meets up with all three girls AND the Japanese Government deciding on reporting to the public just what is beyond that gate. Don't expect see it happening until at least 9-10 episodes in. Also, for those likening this to Outbreak Company, trust me, this is not some crappy Shounen comedy like that show. The situations dealt with in this show are more relateable to real world logic and politics. They won't do idiotically ridiculous "Soccer matches" and other shit like that. If anything, this is suppose to be a Sennin fantasy battle manga, just one that goes by the hypothesis of "what happens if one side is using Age of Empire units, whilst the other side is using Red Alert units". All the above stand true, so long as they don't tone down the R-Rated stuff. To be honest, from just the changes they made in the character designs being that much more childish (Lelei's design makes her practically look like a child), so I'm actually expecting tone-downs on the sex, gore and violence front. However, those elements necessary for the story to run properly and realistically. We are talking about a Military Unit exploring a new frontier after all, where the existing population that live there had been living a Roman-esque lifestyle (ie sex and violence being a part of their daily lives) before the JSDF invaded. It was suppose to be meant as a justification of the way the soldiers from the other side acted when coming through the Gate (them being from a more barbaric/less civilized society and all that). I'll be plenty disappointed if they tone down the sex and violence too much, because that would truly make this Outbreak Company 2.0 without the comedy. Going by the manga though, apart from the appearance of the Gate and the soldiers coming out through the Gate, trying to slaughter everyone, everything else was filler and/or flashback moments. The manga starts off with the JSDF already having established a base of operations in the "Special Region" (which I'm sure we'll see next episode anyway) and you just meet Itami from there. For the most part though, the filler was good as an introduction to who Itami is, and to show the progression without just dropping viewers into the "Special Region" from the off. Disappointed in the toned down R-Rated elements, but still have hopes for this show to be good. Cannot wait until Rory's first appearance (Cute Loli Death God :P), it's sure to be gory. |

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. |
HESTIA APPROVES |
| Not bad. This looks like a combination of SAO and Kekkai Sensen. Glad to hear Suwabe Junichi's voice from another airing anime this season ♡ The only thing I'm hoping for this show is: PLEASE DON'T BE A HAREM! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! (⇀‸↼‶) |
