Gate does characterisation of the characters by giving a bit of back story later in the series with just overall good character development and design. What I found most unique about Gate is that the story is very orriginal and leans away from other types of military anime and appropriately situates any comedy so that it is not to ruin the overall atmosphere and feel created by the story. The art style wasn't very disinguishable from other anime titles but Gate still looked very pretty. The setting of the anime is used in other types of anime but what makes Gate different from them is that it's a mix. You have the modern world of today and the medieval RPG styled world, and A-1 Pictures mixes them together flawlessly to give you the best of both worlds.
Final thoughts: this anime was extremely enjoyable to me and I would highly recomend this anime to anyone who is into the Military Genre or who would just enjoy a unique type of anime once in a while. I would definitly recommend it to my friends and it will definitly be worth a rewatch after some time. I have high hopes for the seconds season.
