| holly cow they make a freaking amazing anime !! ive been waiting for this kind of anime !! bawhaha sugoi !! (just share my feelings lmao ! ) |
| Now if only they didn't censor it from the manga adaptation . . . |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| i dunno the manga so i like what i see so far but since its totally unrealistic for Japanese Military to go on their own ... even if its to another world ... impossible ^^ that would be political suicide but if the manga is gore it explains a lot xD gorefans ... u dont have to think about such stuff with them i guess ^^if the manga would be a bit more thought thru they would wear blue helmets :P |

| Bro, I’m really enjoying this as well. I only wish either the novels or light novels were translated for me to get hold of them and read them, instead of the manga (I’m only reading the manga because that’s the only thing available at this time...... which it’s kinda disappointing to be honest). I also love the fact that they’re using the LN character designs rather than the ones from the manga; I find the designs in the manga not of my liking at all, especially Itami.

Seriously, I don't understand why people nowadays seems infatuated to see more obscenity and adult content. You badly wanted brutality and sex? Go and search for Guro then. +1 First of all, I can’t stand rape, so I could care less about seeing that. If it were to happen, then I’ll deal with it, but I’d preferred not to. Quickly looking and reading a single panel about it isn’t the same as hearing and watching it, so no thanks. Regarding the lack of gore (compare to the manga), it does not bother one bit. Believe it or not, I did not start reading and watching this to see extreme and explicit gore and violence. I did because I thought the concept of the story was interesting and worth exploring. One last thing, I’d suggest to anyone that keeps whining and complaining about that lack of gore and violence to drop the anime version already and watch something else then. It gets tiresome hearing people whine nonstop (like a broken record) in every singe episode discussion about the same damn thing. You know what, I bet if the series had kept its gore, then others would be complaining about that as well, calling it “unnecessarily edgy and violent just for shock value; gore for the sake of gore”. |

I wholefully agree. The main selling point of this show isn't violence but the clash of two distinct worlds' culture and their military forces. And it's shit at doing that. |
| The anime is indeed very good. I've been following the manga since I found it two years ago, and greatly enjoy it. Even so I think the anime definitely implies sufficient violence without needing to shove it in our faces. I don't miss the abundance of gore from the manga. I've noticed this show striking a chord with anime fans across the spectrum, even those who don't normally watch military tagged shows. I think its because this show if different in several ways: its showing a realistic, every day military I can vouch for that!). It doesn't have a main character motivated by angst, rage, revenge or guilt: he's doing a job that he does well for motivations you can get behind. There's no sea of high school protagonists, amazing gifted children, or murderous psychopathic main character. There are no vampires, no mechs, no beautiful pastoral slice of life, no teenager left on his/her own by a parent who has left the country. There's no love triangle, harem (not yet anyway) nor any overpowering Evil Dark Lord bent on destroying the Galaxy. And yet this show is doing quite well, its episodes have been engaging and make you look forward to the next. That means they are doing it right. The animation for the characters is Ok to good, while the equipment animation is outstanding. The voice actors are doing a great job, as are the writers. I think they are doing a very good job in how they are bringing the story to an anime depiction, and showing us the characters and their individual stories without overwhelming the viewer with a ton of information. The direction seem good, but the subtitles need work (look, whatever the translation might say, Itami is wearing First Lieutenant rank insignia on his collar.) So, overall, yes a really good show. I'm hooked for the duration. |

However, they threw away the last 6 (40-45) by wasting them on a side plot that had little or no bearing on the first 39, For example: its as if Peter Jackson had gotten Frodo and Sam to Mordor, and after the victory at Minas Tirith, instead of showing the final battle at the Black Gate and Frodo at Mount Doom destroying the Ring, Jackson went off on a tangent about Strider's early years as a Ranger with the last 30 minutes and then ended the movie. Such a pointless use of those last 6 eps. That's why I gave Twelve Kingdoms a 5. |

Don't make me laugh. That's the best use of those remaining episodes, adapting a side novel that's not of the lengthy side, rather than stretching the story and worsening the pacing. |
| Honestly, when people complain about censorship in ecchi series it makes perfect sense since it's kind of the main point of the anime more often then not, but when people complain about lack of gore? I mean... would that really make the anime any better? Like okay; it might make it look more grimdark and realistic but it's not like I'd find much enjoyment in exaggerated violence and blood everywhere exactly. That's the kind of thing that's better off merely implied than actually shown I'd say. As long as you actually know that there are a lot more brutal things going on, that should be enough. You don't actually have to force it into the camera all the time |

No, that is a bullshit statement. Adding the realities of war into an Anime does not make it more real or better. All it would do s add a wanking factor for the people who have a gore fetish. With the current amount of blood and gore that is shown, the show already gets the point across that people die in wars. No need to overkill. |

It's not being a gore addict, it's simply not being a wuss. The story should be like it is in the manga if they start cuting/censoring things then don't be naive and think they'll stop there. No wonder dumb people keep saying this is a rip-off of Outbreak Company even though Gate was released first... |

| Another thing this series is doing extremely well is how realistically they are depicting how soldiers act, especially between themselves. I've not seen another anime in which they show this as well as they do in Gate. There are a few live action movies that have done this good, or better, of a job, but very few. Its an aspect of the show that I'm thoroughly enjoying. |

| I have to say, when I first heard of Gate (Its Stargate, as an ANIME!) I was hyped. Then I read up on it and it said something about fantasy and stuff (I dont dislike it but it usually is disppointing) and I was like - meh.. Then I started watching it and it was literally the best decision in my life. I love this show. Its so unbelievably entertaining and satisfying. Also it has an pretty nice MC. MC himself dont has OP powers (well atleast we havent seen them, after all he is probably a capable fighter) but just this attitude towards live that makes him so likeable ^^ |

| i was feeling pretty meh about this anime up until the dragon fight and afterwards. just keeps getting better and better. Loving the plot, world, characters everything. |

lplayer19 said: I'm loving this show. It gets just enough realism with its dark and gory moments but doesn't overkill. The characters are well done and the MC is really likeable. Plus the gear and focus on the solders is perfect. This is expected since it was written by a JSDF veteran. My only worry is that this will turn into a harem. There are several females that are around our MC, but so far only one has even come anywhere close to acting like she might be interested in him, and even that has yet to be seen to actually be interest, and not just teasing. |

| Does anyone else get depressed at how there's 14 episodes to go, with 1 episode being released every week? Which means that's 14 weeks... ...And my exams begin in 8 >.< |
| Meh, I may be in the minority here,but all the gore, rape and all the edginess that you can think of won't save this show. Uninteresting characters and a plot that is boringly predictable - at least the character designs are nice. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |

strawhatman5 said: For all of you saying that GATE is good because its not 18+, well the anime IS supposed to be an R series. MAL has it even listed as one, so for all you saying its fine with out the extra blood, gore and rape if you actually pay attention IT BARELY even has it with the current adaptation. Its meant for and older audience and thats why the gore, blood and rape is supposed to be there to show the dark themes of this anime. And yes if it did show more gore and the rape scenes it would be better. But by saying that, i do not mean over the top gore but when people get shot up and sliced up blood is suppose to splatter everywhere and make a mess with out the gore it lacks the realism and then all you have left is a fairy tale anime. For me its just fine as is, thus far. Personally I have no need to have gore splashed across my screen to understand a crap ton of people just got killed. Its very clear in the episodes what is going on. Massive amounts of bloody entrails and scores of screaming, pleading girls being raped is not anything I would call entertainment. Princess Pinya's speculation about what would happen to the women in Italica if the deserters won makes a very crystal clear mental image. I found it quite effective. I didn't need to be shown it. If someone actually wants true "realism", then someone needs to figure out how to add the smell to movies and TV. Carpet cleaning services will experience a boom in business cleaning up all the vomit stains. |

| Good show. I liked it. I didn't recognize much violence. Only the usual stuff. There is rape and splatter in the manga? They must have censored it. I know the princess talked already about the citizens of Italica being raped if the bandits would have succeeded. But this did not happen. Also I'm not against splatter and rape. Makes it more realistic and authentic. I could understand if soldiers that are constantly facing death need to let off steam and go to rape some villagers because they are far away from their family (wife) at home (and might die and never see them again to have regular sex). So I don't think it's useless and only to attract splatter/rape fans. (They could always watch pure splatter shows or rape hentai without any plot.) (What I don't like is zombie splatter ... without plot - there usually isn't much plot. This stuff really is made only for zombie and splatter fans.) Here I liked the main character. And it is important for me to like at least some of the characters to like a show. (Usually I hate mains and only like minor chars.) He was a bit older. Even had an ex-wife. And it was nice to see that otaku still being a nice guy that is interested in helping others. Sure ... they might have exaggerated a bit by making him a super ranger special forces guy - probably to make it interesting for otakus to watch (they maybe think they could get super strong themselves then). But that added to comedy (the other soldier girl that could not believe it). Politics and stuff was interesting. I like such things. It was okay enough for a fantasy anime. Maybe we'll see more soon. More interested in the empire's political affairs than in the japanese stuff. (But that guy from public affairs that arrested all the CIA agents was fun ha ha.) |
| The story is kinda ehh.. dumb. But ok, dumb fun is still fun. The characters are... well, they could have been better. The split screens they do every god damned time are god awful. But seeing modern military in action worths watching the entire series. |
