‘The New Gate’ is a well-known isekai light novel that follows a fairly predictable storyline featuring an overpowered protagonist. It may seem like an interesting read, but in all honesty, it’s just another online game-turned-reality trope.
Despite this, the series manages to keep things fresh by introducing new stakes with each battle. This twist has been well-received by readers and has led to the series’ success. Now, it’s even inspiring an anime adaptation, and if you’re interested, we’ve got all the details for you!
The first promotional video for ‘The New Gate’ anime series has been revealed. The anime is scheduled for April 2024.
The trailer opens with the protagonist, Shinya Kiritani, revealing his entrapment inside the game. As the storyline unfolds, we see how the game has transformed into a survival challenge for him.
The promotional video also introduces various supporting characters, providing a glimpse of Shinya’s encounters with them.
Interestingly, the trailer features the voice of Kensho Ono, who plays Shinya “Shin” Kiritani. In addition, the PV reveals the latest additions to the cast and the expected release window.

The light novel series has garnered mixed reviews, with some lauding its intricate world-building, gripping action scenes, and well-crafted character interactions. Conversely, some critics have panned it for its lack of originality, plodding pace, and overpowered protagonist.
On the whole, the trailer for the upcoming anime adaptation looks promising, evoking a similar vibe to ‘Sword Art Online.’ If you’re a fan of isekai, it might be worth giving it a shot.
