Takuan_Soho said: At that point she has no idea how strong the JSDF is, unlike Pina she hasn't seen them in battle yet. Also, the Rose Brigade had never actually fought a battle (as the king implied when he sent Pina out), so they really don't understand battles, and they have bought into the propaganda that the Empire is unbeatable. Remember how Pina reacted when she first heard about the JSDF winning, the blonde didn't even have that small amount of warning. But more importantly, honor is what the empire was about. People nowadays don't understand how totally important it used to be because a gun "equalizes" honor. But before guns, battles were fought by people who had to hack their way through their opponents, and those with courage and a sense of honor were far superior to those who lacked either. This is what Pina was talking about when she said that the JSDF were like Valkyries laughing at mortals, all that courage would bring to these soldiers is to be slaughtered (this goes back to the second episode when the alliance army continued to attack). Virtues are now vices. So the blonde had her honor at stake, and Itami inadvertently trampled on it. Again, he is lucky that is all she did to him. And she is lucky that her pride and ignorance didn't get her killed. Wow, loving the passion. But I do not think I will ever see it from that perspective, the whole performance of that scene felt aimed more at the audience than what was actually happening. These women might not have fought any real battles but they still endured years of training that should have ended up in them being tougher than how she reacted in that scene. So I stand by my first comment that in the end they sacrificed the integrity (or potential of integrity might be better suited) for a weak attempt of slapstick entertainment. |
| I knew this kind of episode just bound to happen, an episode where it's all about the fan service. Too bad. And I am afraid this anime is going to turn into something like this & less serious. As for the characters, it's been a long time since the last time we got a proper characterization for the main characters. It's been more of plot progression & less character. I hope we got some in the next episode. |
| I like anime. |
| Oh, those maids were cute. I loved the cat girl maid! >< I thought it was cute that the princess decided to use sex to stop an invasion. lol |
| I thought they gonna drag on with Itami capture but good thing they went straight back to the our world |
Mirality said: The blonde knight was just dumb. She didn't want to be there anyway, just barely opened the door and didn't announce herself, didn't think about different cultures (despite JUST being in trouble for her ignorance of the treaty as well) and just stood there at the door for a few seconds in a noisy room before "he didn't notice me! the nerve!" and marching up and slapping him. sorry, you dont understand - it's typical GATE "humor", another reason to slap MC its not blonde knight was just dumb - but the whole show itself |
| Goth loli can carry her weapon freely? The fuck... And Itami, fix your god dam hair when wearing a beret. |
| LOL Poor Itami First getting that hit in the face from Rory and then getting beaten up like crazy by the knights :D and another slap like he didn't have enough already xD Wow they actually gave permission to send Rory through the gate WITH that weapon? Seems like a really awful idea considering how uncontrollable she is. If she starts running around with that thing it might get funny. |
| Onwards to winter doujin events! Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that Tuka hasn't gotten that much development as a character? I do hope she gets some more screentime in the near future. That aside, I'm growing very fond of Lelei. |

Rory refuses to part with it. Really? I did not see it in this episode. |

| Kurebayashi's mind exploded. I laughed when the old man popped out saying he wanted to go after Rory invited herself. Was wondering where he went! I'm so hyped for the next episode. The "fantasy world people visit the modern world" concept really gets me stoked. I hope they visit a place where they can really get a sense for just how HUGE Tokyo is. I also hope they reveal that Tokyo is just a small part of Japan and that even Japan is just a small part of the modern world. I hope they see commercial airlines. The fact that you can travel to anywhere in the entire world in less than a day (not counting layovers) blows *my* mind and I LIVE in the modern world. They already experienced cars, but not highway driving. It's almost 9PM right now where I'm at, and I could get in my car right now and complete a journey that would have taken weeks or months only 150 years ago before the sun comes up. |
| Another great episode from Gate. Waking up to maid monster-girls are all otakus dream. The medusa is the best out of those 4. Pina's overreaction is really funny lol. Lelei's bad translation almost made things even messed up and funnier. Itami is building more and more of his harem... Starting from Rory and then the maid-girls and then Lelei.... Sadly Tuka is into yuri with that other JSDF girl... In the end that poor grandpa did not get to the other side lol. But yay for Rory getting to the other side. Edit: After rewatching the episode, I find Lelei's question about how Medusa's hair shed skins was really funny... because there was also an episode of Monmusu with Miia shedding her skins in a somewhat erotic way this week. Not to mention Medusa's reply about it being a secret lol. Coincidence? |

| a funny episode. so itami is a ranger huh? this explains everything, heheh |
| Japan.....eh? All of those girls will be surprised....lots of different otakus with different fetishes will swarm around them..especially the elf and rory. Everybody loves Psychotic/Sadistic Goth-Lolis!! (KURUMI!!! AAHHH! I know she ain't a Loli but she's still a goth!) I really wanna see Pina's reaction if they show her the cocktail that has the same name as her XD i would die from laughter. Next episode will be interesting! |
Takuan_Soho said: There is little doubt that the scene was used for comedic effect (which was actually downplayed this episode), I still think you are not appreciating that she acted naturally for her world. Maybe it is just me then, but with Itami getting slapped and Piñas reaction afterwards, it felt pretty comedic to me. |
| Somehow, not going too indepth with the main characters' abilities right off the bat with infodumping actually feels pretty refreshing. |
 |
| It's amazing that even without action, finished so fucking fast... Srly with this anime the time just flies. The next episode can be the best. :) |
 |
| Not enough Rory in this episode. |
ISKIJN said: Gate: A story about how some people from another world get to visit Japan before I do ¬¬ lol ik how you feel. |
 And I have to say, what the waist measurement is!" |
I know, thats why Im asking if what happened on the LN is different since the manga showed it in a different way, instead of belittling Itami she even thought of giving 2 of the girls to him and later said ''Itami seems like a special kind of man to fall for it''[/quote] Between Panache and Bozes how many of the girls in the manga that Pina "promised' to Itami actually did anything? or was the whole Pina-Bozes-Itami thing played out in the anime in a rather humorous way that much different than how it played out in the manga? Give it up man. |

| Took me a bit to get used to all dat purple but that's still one mighty fine neko~ So glad this anime is going to be 24 episodes instead of 12 :) |
 |
| This will probably the first time that the people from "the other world" actually visit our own, haven't seen that before in an anime. Looking forward to their reactions. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

[/quote] What? all Im asking is what happened in the LN since I just wanna know how the author truly wanted to portray it, if the manga part was more accurate or the anime part, get off your high horse if you dont know anything about the LN then dont even bother quoting me, I wasnt asking for your opinion rather I want answers on the LN part. |

Mormegil said: Not enough Rory in this episode. I think the princess became my favourite character of the series |
| This anime is truly amazing. Every moment is exciting, I'm glad I picked up. Cant wait for next episode, its gonna be awesome, I feel it! Princess is my favorite character by far. |
konatachan80 said: DarklordVor said: Itami is building more and more of his harem... Starting from Rory and then the maid-girls and then Lelei.... Sadly Tuka is into yuri with that other JSDF girl... Your definition of a harem is quite funny. I guess if you walk into a clothing store (or workplace, or whatever) where there are several females, then you have a harem too? I mean, if all thats required is for several females to be present then that would be the case, wouldn't it? :) Only Rory seem to be somewhat interested, but she's mostly just curious about him. And the blond haired elf, the army chick with brown hair and potentially the princess. |
| This anime lost its values in some aspects while gained on others. It's okay because it remains a fun series to follow. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
EP 8 PV is up. Princess Pina in the big city. |
| Itami was really enjoying all the attention haha Looking forward to see the elf girl fighting! |
 |
| I felt like this anime started out pretty lackluster, but it has seriously grown on me. I love it now! |
 |
| Hilarious episode. When the blonde girl walked in the room, lmfao! |
  |
| LOLed at Itami's face...pretty beaten-up badly! Piña Co Lada was very stressed and extremely worried about the situation that happened to Itami and decided to offer the 2nd daughter princess's body to Itami as a way of apology. And again Itami got a bit hurt again...by a slap from curly hair blondie...lol Piña Co Lada was amazed again on how fast the transport is and seen 1st had the power of Modern Military, infantry, tanks, air support...lol Whow that was pretty heavy! Piña Co Lada was invited personally to a Military General! lol at Lelei, very tired that she passed-out and slept on the floor! Next episode would be definitely great! because the gang is coming back to Japan with the other girls and princesses! 5/5. |
 |
| LOL. That was a hilarious episode. Enough with the killing.. time for some sight seeing. XD |
