GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

[Kraco]

Yeah, this was very much a very partial victory for Tyuule if anything. There was some harm done to the empire, no doubt, but they live in an old world where a human life is only so valuable, so in the bigger picture it's no big deal. Zolzal suffered a miserable fate, being reduced to a paranoid weakling with high infamy, so that's at least something for Tyuule. In that sense maybe I'll have to take back my earlier words: It could be more cruel to leave him alive. Unless there's a critical situation where he comes again for her for advice and then she could betray him in a grand fashion (if you can even talk about betraying considering everything she has done so far is to hurt the empire).

Yeah, I don´t believe you when you say you don´t like hurting random people. You sound an awful lot like one of my younger brothers, who keeps hurting people around because of his perception of "justice", only resulting in making everybody feel uncomfortable.

Hurting random people is pointless. I hate doing pointless things. Also, revenge is different from justice. I enjoy hurting people who hurt me, but playing the hero is the last thing in my to do list.

Bad last episode for a rather good series overall.

That ending was horrible and forced... meh.

The first season was far more enjoyable.

[shinta|hikari]

I think my main gripe with this show is all the potential it wasted. It could've been awesome but dove right into mediocrity instead.

To those who want to know what happens to Gate after the anime.

To those who want to know what happens to Gate after the anime.

That was an interesting read. I'd watch more of this if they don't screw it up and make it boring.

[NeoCybercoin]

I'd definitely watch it if it stays true to that source.

But Aliens... Really?

I read the Manga before season 2 came out (which was somewhere near the point where they killed the dragon at that point) and found it to be much darker than the anime too, the sad part about the manga is however that the characters arn't as beautiful as in the anime, with the exception of Pina, which I found to be much better and realistic looking in there.

I was actually suprised that they didn't hesitate to show gore and rape. I assumed it to be shounen stuff after watching the first season, more or less.

@shinta:

The possibility was heavily hinted at in this season when they spent almost a third of an episode on it (and we even discussed it here), but again, another important plot point completely forgotten. A pattern this season. Hint at good stuff, forget about it in 5 minutes.

All we got in the end was sanitized, bland, frivolous drama.

The main three girls barely have any appeal. What they do have, is consistently wasted (give Tuka a change of modern clothing or three ffs!). Perhaps it is different in the LNs, and they're more interesting.

[shinta|hikari]

Yeah, but it certainly isn't the direction I expected this story to take. And I don't mean that in a good way.

[MFauli]

DEAR GOD @those spoilers. Please tell me there won´t be more seasons of this shit. Basically, bad guys keep losing, although they´re kept alive for no reason, and Itami and his harem never suffer any kind of defeat, just other no-name JSDF members die eventually.

Is there such a lack of good manga to animate or what did this piece of shit get that privilege?

[KrayZ33]

Says the one with the Zorzal avatar.

"It's not like the story I had in mind, boohooo"

Show wasn't perfect, but it wasn't shit either, the last few episodes (and with that the 2nd season in general) were clearly weaker than the rest of it.
