| Shino have to control her god damned jealousy towards Itami rank, just having the brawn doesn't mean shit. Rory spinning her halberd doesn't gets old lol, especially after witnessing 2 person who got injured trying to hold it. |
Your taste in Anime is shit. Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad. How sad. |
| Ugh, the poisoning of the knights is nigh. |

Takuan_Soho said: When you combine this scene with the fight at Italica, it's more likely that she is somewhat jealous. Her fantasy seems to be not so much to meet someone like that, as to be someone like that. She definitely is upset that someone like "him" has succeeded in reaching areas that she herself can't, especially because she sees herself as infinitely more suited. Though there is still the factor that her ideal is represented by "this guy," which is a let down either way.Grisaille said: Shino have to control her god damned jealousy towards Itami rank, just having the brawn doesn't mean shit.. Shino isn't really jealous, lets just say that she knows very well what personality type is usually required to be an Army elite, and she loves that type. Itami, as the animation stated, doesn't have that attitude. To use a simile: Shino fantasizes about special forces like a girl who fantasizes about meeting a prince and learns that the reality is Prince Charles. |
| Elf look good in business suit. Rory own this episode. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Rory rekting small sons. This show is getting better by the week. Includes action + light-hearted comedy + a tad bit of slice & life in both Japan and the other world. |

| This was excellent. Loved it every single time Rory said ojouchan :) |
| I can't get enough of the other world people getting amazed at modern day civilization. I hope they keep getting surprised by stuff that most people take for granted later on in the show. |
Rory and her natural lipstick! She is definitely the best character of this show. I'm curious about Itami's ex wife. A mangaka, huh? It will be interesting. |
 |
shoulda keep dat necklace xDD

| 🗿 I am easily entertained.  |
| Great episode, the plot changes from a serious moment for a moment comic quickly, I like this approach, several amazing things in the episode, as Itame's qualifications, the age of the girls, and know that Itame already was married, I am increasingly excited about the plot, I'm looking forward to the next episodes .. |

m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: but what kinda backwards politics is this? This japanese woman is crying that 150 random villagers from the other world died from an uncontrollable event. They didnt even know these people existed a few months ago, and she is ignorantly and apathetically criticizing soldiers who are representing her own country. Probably a member of the opposition party. For example, if the current Japanese government in Gate is LDP, then the woman most likely from Democratic Party of Japan. |

| Rory is the best character ever. |
DenjaX said: Wow! She looks really nice and her appearance seems to be the most faithful to the LN. Anyways, great episode, as usual. |
 |
| Don't worry folks, expect a lot more from Rory especially in the next couple of episodes. You will love her even more xD. And was I right in thinking that Rory was about to kill that bitch when her lips turned purple? Lol |
 |
| This episode had great Rori scenes!! :D |

 But you'll still take damage! |
salmon3669 said: skudoops said: I came to this conclusion as well, but I really hate that the anime didn't make this more clear. It was the first thing I've complained about here because I don't really see why they could have just stuck in her goal when she was having her inner monologue, most of the time I was thinking.. what is this woman's goal? Then I realized oh yeah, the opposition.. If I were to look at the author's POV, it has something to do with his hate for Japanese politicians and how they always get in the way of the JDSF. I mean this woman is based off an actual politician that existed when he wrote this. Interesting, did the author himself mention such thing in interview? |

| our best girl vanished at ~10:21 during tukas interview D: they were shown entering clearly and implied sitting there :S (we saw a glimpse when itami stood up to go to the pedestrial)  |
| What can I say? This episode was wonderful. Nothing to criticize. |
 If Evangelion were Rokka no Yuusha the seventh would be Shinji. |
SchwingBoner said: Ahahaha. Rory vs that Diet woman was the best. The ''little girl'' got wrecked by best girl.  Wow, so Itami was married. I wonder if his being an otaku had anything to do with their break-up.  Doubt it. From the way she talks, I'm pretty sure she's a mangaka herself. |
| "People die when they are killed" - Emiya Shirou |
As the intel guy is being taken away in the ambulance, he tells Itami to take everyone to the Ichigawa Assembly Hall. That's a strange destination. Ichigawa Assembly Hall. It's at JSDF headquarters, but it's more a museum than a working building. There are tours and a gift shop. It's famous because Yukio Mishima, in his nutty coup attempt in 1970, committed formal suicide there. There's a message here, but I don't get it. |
| Oh God that tsundere Rory impression XD That diet woman is so annoying!! I mean really, what's the point of putting down the soldiers when they are being watched by the president of US and China? trying to make your country look incompetent? stupid woman! Glad Rory put her in her place. I'm surprised Itami still has a good relationship with his ex-wife. Why did they divorce in the first place? |

Railtracks said: SchwingBoner said: Wow, so Itami was married. I wonder if his being an otaku had anything to do with their break-up. I have a feeling that was the reason for their marriage. Me too. It looks like she's a much bigger Otaku than he is. I actually suspect the reason for the breakup was that either Itami was not enough of an Otaku for her, and was in the SDF (not being at home a lot), or the Otakuship turned out to be the only thing that bonded them. Fiji said: Also really like the part where they revealed the age. Rory=961, Tuka=165... and Lelei... I am 15 years old. Hahaha. Am I the only one to have noted that Rory is thus almost at the end of her 'lifespan'? She has, give, or take, forty years left to go. I don't know how rigid/flexible the 1000 year mark is, I'm guessing 20 or 30 years more or less won't matter, but still.

 Rory pawned that Diet member's head with her answers. Awesome! I wonder what kind of a person Itami's ex-wife is |
 |
walldotfm said: That's the big question everyone's making a fuss about. A large majority of replies include ex-wife on this topic so everyone's ecstatic to learn more about his ex-wife for sure. What kind of woman would marry someone like Itami? Clearly, she is into the anime/manga industry. From the clues given thus far, I conclude she's a hikikomori mangaka. The bills piling up and the way she lays around the house make her appear a hikikomori. How she speaks, the poster behind her computer, and the magazines/manga laying around her apartment appear to be fair evidence of being a mangaka.I wonder what kind of a person Itami's ex-wife is Because I already concluded for myself that his ex-wife is likely a hiki-mangaka, I'm not interested in that angle much at all. I'm quite excited for the next episode for the real cliffhanger this episode left us with. The four girls (Rory, Tuka, Lelei, Shino[Soldier Girl]) plus the two empire girls(but not as much as the other four) left us with "EHHHH!?" before it immediately skipped to the ending theme. How will the react to Itami having an ex-wife as prospective partners for his love? I can understand why people would dismiss Shino but it's important to keep in mind she's likely a military nut. All the prized positions she seems to dream of and revere, Itami seems to belong to. I can't get enough of her faces and reactions to him being a ranger and a special-op. Shino isn't as likely an option as Rory, Tuka, or Lelei, however she has been seen too much throughout the series to dismiss, excluding the first episode. Shino appears a more likely partner than the princess or noble as well. |

| It's amazing how good this show is, and how well they're adapting this arc. Though I wished they put a bit more emphasis on the girls amazement when shopping around town, as well as more netizen reactions for when they were broadcasting the Senate assembly, but overall this episode still did the show justice. I mean... it has to be if I can grab as many gifs for an SoL episode as for the Italica episode, no? Itami? Rangers? Special Forces? Imposhibiruuuuu!!!!  Girls enjoying 500 yen Yoshinoya XD The Tuka section Rory Bozes and Tomita... first signs of a new ship And of course, Mangaka Risa (she looks way cuter in the anime) Cannot wait until next week when we have a total free-for-all |

She seems much more mature than Shino, and had a fair bit of screen time (with Itami) the first few episodes. |

| They made a mistake in this episode the goddess of the underworld Hardy is actually female rather than male, probably just a translation error. |
Laionidas said: I respect the though of Mari Kurokawa(Medic) but she didn't seem all that interested in Itami. She did respect Itami's choices quite heavily, but at the same time she appeared to denounce him as an otaku as if it were a bad thing. If she is to become a wife-candidate, I believe she would need more airtime that doesn't include following him around as just-a-medic.We shouldn't forget about 'that medic girl whats-her-name-again either. She seems much more mature than Shino, and had a fair bit of screen time (with Itami) the first few episodes. Shino's different; she is only around him because she is a soldier. The difference in role of a healer needed for mid/last-bosses and a easily replaceable DPS that isn't being replaced is quite a large gap. The positions she idolizes being shattered is no different than Rune Soldier's Louie shattering Priestess Melissa's image of a Hero. More on Melissa [Rune Soldier]: |
|
| Wow, 900+ yrs old.... Loli Mercury. XD I wonder what would have happened if Itami did not intervene... Hehehhehehe Need more Tuka though... :) |

| Epic Rory is Epic. Now on to the real topic. I was completely flabbergasted at how well... quite pretty the diet member was. She was a hag in the manga and i hated her guts, now i just feel sorry for her. Some people going after the group well we all know who, no offense but lol. But the real shocker to me was how FREAKING CUTE RISA is! my gosh i knew i was in for some surprises when the art was different but man it hit me like a wrecking ball. That "what?" in English completed it for me. The MC girls ain't got nothing on her y'all. Sad I won't get to see her much. Oh yeah nice ep 5/5. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
| It's funny that people trying to compare anime with manga. Not even with LN. I know it's hard to get it but a lot of things in the manga are more different from novel and LN than anime. Especially designs. For example, anime version of Shino is quite close to LN one while in manga she looks like some brute |

| Rory totally destroyed the diet woman. When it happened, I was saying the same thing to my brother : "They don't kill 1/4 of the people, they saved 3/4". Rory was awesome, she is definitely the best girl. Itami's ex-wife is also an otaku :). |
| I am not sure I like how the anime handles the comedy. It's not that the comedy is jarring or over the top, but I was expecting less comedy just like the earlier episodes. The more I watch this anime, the more I see the "true colour" of this show, which is not that good. I am still confused why they permitted Rory to brought her humongous axe. Kind of weird. And speaking of Rory, I do not understand why do so many people like Rori? Is it because she's a gothic loli? Because as a character, she's pretty shallow & pretty much like every other gothic loli character. For me, the better characters so far are Pina & Tuka. Pina with her naivety and conflict with her father(or even her own kingdom), & Tuka with her PTSD & how she acts like her father is still alive. |
| I like anime. |
