Reviews

Gate is interesting because of the fusion of modern world and fantasy/Roman/medieval world. I always like seeing guns and missiles rekt knights and traditional tactics and weapons and these makes Gate satisfying because it’s done right and we can see the difference between two world and unsatisfying because I still got to wait next year.

Gate’s cast isn’t anything special but at least the MC is kind of likable and most of the characters have different traits, personality and characteristics. Rory as a yandere, Lelei as the curious, cute mage, Tuka as you know…. I don’t know, traumatized because her father is dead? Then we got the MC Itami which not your usual otaku, because Itami is actually a human being who works in the military (although he seems a bit OP) , then Pina Co Lada (God, I love that song) who is what we expected as a princess, patriotic and will do anything to save her nation from getting rekt by Glorious Nippon.

Gate’s technical aspects aren’t bad either. We got nice and realistic animation of weapons and tanks and helicopters. It has a good music, a good OP and ED and most of all, Wagner. The censorship didn’t bother me at all since I haven’t read the manga and it wouldn’t make a difference even if I read it before.

Gate is a fun show and it has little problems especially the unrealistic politics. Nonetheless, it always gives me satisfaction every week.
