----------------------------------------
I think I like the new OP song, previous one was catchier at the end but this one has its own style. Quite similar in a few ways though.

There's some awkward scenes with that one bunny girl. (lewd even)
I like how refreshing the episode is considering the revisit of the Imperial Empire. Good to see the focus on the military aspects too with the mortar.

Quite a welcoming return for the show, nice. Lol'd @ Pina this episode.
Mm, the character design

Gosh, that awful proportion RIGHT after her appearance.
Gee, no wonder why you shouldn't expect anything with A-1 when they always produce 4 other shows every sesason.

So the asshole prince makes his appearance tho i didn't think they would adopt that scene even if it was censored with a curtain.
And next week should be very interesting, i wonder how far they will go.

I also have to say that i like the party adoption but they could have done a better job on the slums but i guess it was to violent to adopt.

And above all i am so glad this is back it was worth the wait.

Good first episode, showed the bunny scene more than I thought they would. Overall effective and efficient in moving the story forward, looking forward to the next episode where the fun begins.

Nexxkinn: I think the proportion was purposeful. Showed the dominance and submission of the situation well; which I believe was the point.

I actually wasn't expecting that scene straight up from the beginning. They censored it quite a lot but it's still brutal.

Got to see a glimpse of Rori. I am satisfied.

Apart from Misery's beyond butchered character design I found this episode to be quite good and decently adapted

Still I was shocked to see that they kept the bunny girl scene (I wonder if the BD will uncensor it) albeit it being censored the way it was

Good start to the second season and I'm really liking the OP too

Wow, they actually did a good job with the Warrior rabbit and the prick prince.

Sugawara making Sherry's pantsu wet was lol He's destined to end up with a loli now XD The path of no return

Loved the The faces of the council when they realized their fucked if they resist watching the guns and cannons XD

Earthquake incoming and more importantly KUREBAYASHI BEAT DOWN INCOMING!!!! Can't friggin wait! Hope they can adapt at least half the brutality of it from the manga

A lot of People were worried how the bunny girl part was going to be adapted but considering all things...it was done a lot better than expected.

Still the pacing was fine but i can't believe how much they already adapted in this first part they already reached the part involving the earthquake...which makes me wonder if at this pace if they can also adapt the upheaveal arc.

Of that is true i wonder if they intend to adpat all of it as all they would need is another 2 cour to finish the rest of the adaptation i really hope it comes true.

GATE is back baby and in full GLory HAHAHAHAHA XD

A cliffhanger in the first episode? Really? Saying that, it's not a bad start to the second season but I can't exactly say it was up to the quality of the first season either.

At least the OP is amazing, though I guess that's to be expected from Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets.

The opening was great. I literally felt a chill of excitement when it started.

And I didn't suspect that they would have a scene like with the prince and the warrior bunny. And I want that prince to die and the warrior bunny to get saved by the Itami gang.

I'm so hyped for the rest of the season.

Can someone please explain to me, why the English subtitles say "Sugawara-dono", when the character clearly says "Sugawara-sama"? I know this question has actually nothing to do with anime per se, but I am simply confused as per why would sub group change one Japanese title into the other. So weird.

I'm still watching the ep, I'll write something more about it once I'm done.

That's what happens when A1 tries to make a very seinen manga jnto a shinen one: people sayung "dafuq? Rape?" When in the manga is present since the dirst chapters, along with guts-gore and some resemblance of necrophilia.

Oh boy. That was certainly worth the wait. I really missed gate, and i'm more than a little happy it's finally back.

I guess the op was okay. It isn't on the same level as the first one, but it isn't bad either.
The ed is outright criminal. And I mean that as an absolutely positive thing. I didn't really like the first one, but this one is simply amazing.

Plotwise... interersting new characters, the beloved old characters, ... Man, I'm so happy they continued right where they left off, and even more happy they kept the same quality. Even if there are still some series this season that haven't been aired yet, I'm already certain that this is going to be my anime of the season

Yey, it's back.

Even though I already went ahead and read the manga after first season ended, I will still enjoy this one.

What is to come is slightly better than the story from S01.

Still it's true that Anime version is extremely tuned down in comparison to manga. Not that I will complain about it, everything has it's pluses and minuses. I don't mind killing but I didn't want to see the rape scene even when it's only shadows and sounds.

Good start of the anime but the ending was a little gayish for my taste ...

If I remember correctly they told them that their bombs went as far a 9 clicks while the Empire's archers and all can go max 1 click. So that's why that dude had that strange nightmare of his people dying.

Wow...they actually showed the rape scene. Censored, of course. I'm surprised considering the fact that first season was censored as fuck. Great first episode. Can't wait for next week.

Oh my god, that OP animation though. There's nothing wrong with the OP music itself. The OP animation are 90% recycled scenes from the first season and another 10% scenes that are ripped off from Asterisk OP (Another A-1 anime). A-1 Pictures are really bad when making 2nd OP

Yes, I love the new ED! And I love how Rory, Tuka and Leleli are wearing JSDF Uniform.

Sugawara making the loli his top priority, he knows what's up.

Pretty good start to the season, would really like to see the aftermath of the earthquake. Also enjoy whenever those plebs get rekt from technology.

Best girl Rory who had very little screen time, though Princess had some great moments again this ones dedicated to you.

"Poor little bunny girl"

Having read the source, I can't help but top lel.

And also that, I shouldn't be surprised at how much they cut and butchered stuff. Ignorance truly is bliss.

The ED was the best out of all this. Army dudes washing each other, oh yeah...

My God, this can become my AOTS easily. The opening and the ending were both really good. That prick prince (is he voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi, right?) scene with the rabbit woman was unexpected, I think they wouldn't animate scenes like that.

And now an Eartquake... things sure start strong!

I also have to say that I like the detail that despite being a fantasy world with mythology creatures and that, brutal elements like the dark side of the capital or having beautiful creatures like Missery being prostitues gave the series a nice element. Not every fantasy world can be idealized and pretty.

Btw, Piña in this episode showing again why she is best girl with the money scene was another highligh of the episode.

First I must say, great to see GATE back again. Just a continuation of where left off and honestly, I don't know why they split it and didn't let it just run for the whole Summer-Fall season.

Moving on, Love the opening and especially the ending animation. I must say, Rory sure was cute (ending animation). personally, I like her the best.

Now for the actually episode. Rushed is all there really is to be said about it. Alot of things was left out but I can understand. Its just too much to I would say but that's wrong. just going for the most out of place scene is where Yao is asking about Itami. I was like "Did she get rejected already?"....WTH.
It was the senates who were supposed to be testing the guns themselves and not just observing.

Tyuule(the bunny slave) looked better in the manga. that's for sure. not just her, but just about all the female in this series to boot.
Zorzal is the only one(yes he's a male) who looks better in the anime than the manga. Well him and Lelei's teacher that is.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.................................

That earthquake came too quick. I though it was supposed to be volume 3 and 4 being done in this season with maybe MAYBE part of volume 5. If so, then why the DAMN RUSH!!??

I lot I would of loved/liked to see in this first episode didn't happen.
