This anime is amazing. I've always wanted to see what it would be like if a modern military force went back in time against medieval forces. This anime satisfies something that I've wanted for a very long time.

Gate has a very interesting premise, and its also one of the only anime based off a modern military I've seen around, most military themed anime are all about mechas or medieval warfare. Gate brings something fresh to the table, something that hasn't been seen before, and it satisfy a certain niche when it comes to anime for me. Combines my two favorite things: all things modern military, ... and cute anime girls. Hell, it even gives a homage to Apocalypse Now with a scene where a whole squadron of helicopters arrive while blasting The Ride of The Valkyries. At this point, after watching a fair share of anime, I can definitely say that this has now become my number one favorite anime of all time, and I really hope more anime comes out with a focus around a modern military.

In short, watch this anime if you like cute girls, watch this if you like fantasy, watch this if you like an interesting new story, watch this if you like anime with main characters that are not oblivious and dense as a brick, or watch this for the same reason I watched it: the military porn. Oh yes, this anime packs a decent amount of military porn.

I can't say enough praise for GATE, I think it just happens to satisfy the perfect niche for me. Hell it's the first anime thus far that I've written a review for, but that's only because I love it so much.

Sorry if the review is a bit terrible, it's my first written review of a anime.

How do I say this, this anime could only be described as "meh". Everything just wasn't great. The story was all over the place, and when there was advancement in the plot, it just led to nothing. Its like it shows you a plot, and then out of nowhere they go HEY, just joking, its not really important. And even in the end all it did was left you hanging, there was no closure what so ever. The only reason I even stayed was cause Ookami reminded me of Aisaka Taiga. That is it. Nothing else.
