Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri Episode 8 Discussion

Pat_To_Do-List said:

I have provided so many arguments, but yet some of the fans like you simply do not accept it as an argument because you say so. That's it. A shame. I thought we could have an informative & civilize discussion.

Well those anime show are not famous because of how subtle they convey their information. How about something like GitS: SAC? Or maybe Baccano? Or maybe Now and Then, Here and There?

Information that's not even there to begin with is not subtle, it's vague. That's a bad writing. Because that kind of vagueness could led to plot hole or incoherent plot/writing.

Well, I was not saying it was only one person that pursued Itami & Co. I was saying that there's no clear indication that it was the work of other nation official government.

Probably the opposition party? Or maybe some kind of traitors inside the Japanese government? But the indications/clues simply did not lead to other nation.

No, thank you. I am not interested in reading Sherlock Holmes.



When was it stated?

Actually it is quite easy. Just because there are multiple female characters doesn't make it a harem. People are shipping characters that have no romantic interest in Itami.

Pat_To_Do-List said:

I have said it many times, the axe was indeed too heavy for a normal human to lift, but not too heavy to be left somewhere herself in a safe place for a short period of time.

Yes, I agree that the pursuers might be a huge, strong, & influential group. And there were so many indications of that, but no indication about them being from other governments.

Indeed, she can leave it for a short period of time herself, however, you have to take into consideration that she still has to find that "safe place"

If she left it at the other side of the gate then there is the chance of the other demigods/goddesses doing something to it. If she left it somewhere in Japan there is no guarantee that it will be completely safe from outside forces who intend to "study" the object.

Second. There are plenty of indications both for and against my argument.

I will focus on the positive.

While it is completely for Large influential groups, for example, the Yakuza to do the same thing given connections to certain government officials it will take them significantly more time to gather information as compared to Foreign Intelligence agencies, in particular, America's CIA, Russia's FSB and SVR, and let's not forget Chinese hackers and Chinese SoF.

Also, although I am not entirely sure, it is less likely for non-government and criminal organizations to even try any of the measures we have seen simply because there is little profit for them.

This leaves us the 3 Big powers. The special region's value in terms of shifting political and economic power has been stated in an earlier episode (episode 4 if I'm not mistaken) with this in mind they will do anything in their power to make sure that shift goes to them. The "guest" from the other world just may be a source to grant that shift.

The series as a whole including all of it's adaptations require a bit of political understanding as well

"the more I see the "true colour" of this show, which is not that good."

Either you forget what you say or ignore it for the sake of it.




And no. Nitpicking is not an argument. I suggest you to read the definition of a nitpicking.

Nitpicking: Looking for small or unimportant errors or faults, esp. in order to criticize unnecessarily.

It may have reason behind it "Why is sky blue, it wasnt told to us!!!!" But it aint important and is only used to critisise for the sake of it.

The 2 people Pina was talking with supposedly had to learn "the other world's language" for political and diplomatic purposes.

Rory just suddenly learned Japanese because demigoddess.

Pat_To_Do-List said:

I would have to agree with you. Those are indeed the problems they might had if she left her axe, but that's not the point. What I have a problem with was how the anime did not even try to justify the fact that everyone let Rory brought her axe. Just show us at least one person ask her to leave her axe but then she refuses it. Or maybe show us how her being affectionate to the axe & Itami sees it. Something at least. For us to justifying what's happening with mere speculations/assumptions in an anime is unnecessary, let the anime justify itself. Because it's the anime's job to convey the information, to tell a story, to make us understand, & everything else.

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.

ScoomKun said:
With concern to the bolded part.

Yes, its is, but it is not their job or obligation to convey the information clearly and or directly. The studio reserves the right to do what they will with the adaptation, by that concern they obviously did not want to give clear information directly for whatever reason. There is also the fact that they cannot simply provide all information because they have to meet the 20 or so minute time constraint. In my view, the studio said, "This bit of information is not so important, but let's give the viewers some hints as to why this is so."

Now, with that in mind. If a viewer spot's these hints and makes a conclusion based on them fine if they can't fine for as long as it didn't affect the viewer's entertainment, if it did affect the viewer's entertainment then they may have a few problems. If, however, the viewer had any of the previous cases but then adds a question similar to the lines of " Why did they do this instead of that?" which is what I believe you are doing, then that is a different matter entirely.

I think she is based off a real politician the author hates (cause original WN he used this part to basically put a rant on everything he hated then proceeded to basically give it all the middle finger.
