I think I watched the 1st season ? The concept is fun (modern arms vs medival forces) but I agree that the politics behind it are really bad.
It doesn't sound super interesting to me, only because it sounds very one-sided.
Sounds like the concept would be far more fun if the fantasy world started rapidly developing its own modern military industry from captured tech or whatever and you get all kinds of wacky stuff
Magically invisible stealth bomber dragons, burrowing tanks built around giant badgers, warlocks cursing you with Havana syndrome
warlocks cursing you with Havanah syndrome
Bards that deviously coax you into Havana few too many drinks the night before a major battle.
Getting me to magic missile my own JSDF CO is a very low charisma check in the first place
Wtf, why who wanted this lmfao. I watched about half the first season and it was an entertaining enough gun-jerk, but I had to tap out when the MC started gaslighting the elf girl character into thinking she was her dead elf father. I wouldn't call it terrible, but what can you do with "and then the modern military utterly washes the huge midieval military state in minutes" and keep it actually interesting?
I guess there was that hilarious scene where the spec ops squads of all the big nations were tricked into killing each other by the JSDF spec ops, over possession of the obligatory loli 500 year old goddess, who was a diplomatic guest of Japan at the time.
but what can you do with "and then the modern military utterly washes the huge midieval military state in minutes"
Nothing lol it will be more of that but also with significantly more age of consent crap I suspect.
Oh this sounds so much worse than what I imagined from the OP
hey lets see what would happen if a modern military fought against a fantasy military that has dragons and orcs
NOT WITHOUT AN UNDERAGE SCHOOLGIRL HAREM YOU WON'T
Anime was a mistake. The Magicians did it much better, but was constrained by a live-action budget.
It's a military circle jerk anime that glorifies the JDF more or less and the original writer is a big time nationalist
Was this fun? I watched it back then but I barely remember it, later I found out it was huge jsdf propaganda which makes sense
Specific scenes were fun. The majority of the show is unhinged. Rory Mercury is the best gothic lolita character design and she belongs in a far better show.
You're better off watching some of the action scenes on YouTube and ignoring the rest. Not only is it problematic, it's also the most mid isekai shit you'll ever see. Everything wrong with the genre, you'll find it in Gate being done excessively.
I kept hoping it would get better, but it only got worse and worse as it dragged on.
A real sign of the times when this propaganda trash for Asia's biggest NATO bootlickers re-emerges
I don't like the fact that I knew what Anime was this
lol like 10 years later.
Gate and The Irregular at Magic High School are two most fascist Anime ever. Also what is with fascists and their love of incest?
I think you're missing The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace from your list, though it has sexual content that is so abhorrent in parts of it I wouldn't recommend, unlike gate it's hard to watch in those parts.
Gene "purity" as well as not being able to imagine leaving their house for love/sex.
I just want a GATE or Summoning Japan/Nihonkoku Shoukan but with better politics.
I only vaguely recall this anime, and I remember it starting off with the main character ilcalling himself an “otaku” right off the bat.
Yup that's why he gets to go to Narnia: he's the nerdiest nerd who ever nerded and therefore is most qualified to meet with the queen, elves, etc. It's total wish fulfillment and self-insert slop.
Oh boy another season of "Allow us to repeal Article 9"
You guys could be watching Teogonia instead, where the MC is powered by the god of anti racism
As soon as a monk guy tells him he's gotta abandon the totally-not-kokiri people, the MC's god is in his head going "kill him. Kill him. Kill him. KILL HIM."
