Mainly GATE fans got into the series by watching the anime that was just released but there surely people who like it not just because of the anime but by manga and/or light novel too. And this is what I want to know, which one do you prefer more the anime, the manga, or the light novel. And what's the reason behind that?

I've only watched the anime and I t was ok, it didn't make me feel like I should watch the manga/LN since I found it average.

The manga gives the anime justice to say the least. Having personally read the manga, I thought it was so dribble and void of meaning just like the anime, that I haven't even bothered to put it on my manga list.

I only watch Gate in anime form now though, because of Rory <3.

Ehh, I'm not a Manga/LN guy sooo, Anime all the way.
Seriously hope they make another season after finishing S2 (Dunno if they have enough source material).

i've read the manga and watch the anime
they're both great, but i'd take the anime over the manga any day since i hate reading and i don't personally find the lack of blood and nudity all that bothersome (though they could ramp up the blood a bit)

I'm not going to lie....I heard about this anime only because I wanted to find out who that delicious goth loli was....

And I kept watching it solely for her.

Well, the manga is pretty dark. I'd say the anime is better if you don't want to see "mature" things.

Manga and TV suck really hard, so I think LN is shit as well.

Manga by far, we see a lot more go on. Also makes for a much for "mature" experience as well regarding the battle scenes etc.

Then of course there's the art style, everyone got a younger look in the anime.

I have only just started watching the anime after reading the manga and I have to say I prefer the manga due to how much content is present currently and how the characters look part from Itama as the anime has a better design for him. I dislike the GATE anime made some of the female characters look younger (I'm talking about the JSDF members and Piña Colada's group)

Hmm.... Maybe I prefer two of three choices, Anime and manga.

After you watch the anime, try to force yourself to read the manga. In Manga series, You will find the 'SCENE' that you'll never find in Anime series.

But, in Anime, there are 'censors' of nudity and mature contents. Unfortunately, In Manga, there are 'many' mature contents (Like... Umm.. Like breasts that you can clearly see) and nudes.

And i don't know anything about the LN series *tee-hee*. I'm not interested of LN if it doesn't has many pictures (like manga).

Anyway...

Let's pray the Season 3 of GATE is release ^ω^

best summarization.



It is kinda sad, because the plot ideia is interesting, and at least original for a japanese work. "Army no Isekai".


But it has become nothing more than a escuse for plain stupid fan-service and even more stupid logic in SDF actions and interactions within the new world.

Disapointing. But as the common sense screans: "goth lolis! yay"

BTW, if the manga is also a piece of shit, but has no censorship, so it is be best choice.

Definitely the LN and Manga the anime skipped tons of chapters for some unknown reasons. They skipped two Arcs, the Minotaur Arc which acts as the character development for Yao and her relationship with Itami and their conversation with the Hardy which is extremely important later on in the story. Now they highly unlikely to make a third season since they definitely don't know where to start because of his idiotic mistake of skipping chapters
