Also known as Gate: Thus The JSDF Fought There!
What could be better than magically being teleported to foreign fantasy land? It truly is every otaku’s dream! Sadly, we can’t really go anywhere due to the pandemic, let alone a fantasy world.
If only there was a portal or a special gate that could bring supernatural beings from the fantasy land to our word… Worry not! There is a GATE like that (in the anime realm)!
1. Quick Review
GATE brings to you a unique story where humanity suddenly gets dragged into a serious and life-threatening situation. While the idea of fantastic beings teleporting to our world may seem awesome, it leads to a loss of civilian lives and a fight between humans and mystics.
Unlike every other isekai, the protagonist isn’t the typical high-school otaku. He is an otaku, but also a responsible adult who serves in the army. This mysterious situation is dealt with a sense of realism and makes the story very engaging.
The animation of the GATE is excellent and highly detailed and compliments its fast pacing. The action between modern army equipment and supernatural beings ensures that no moment is dull. Lovers of action and isekai anime, do not miss this masterpiece!
2. Release Order
- Season 1: Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! (2015)
- Season 2: Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! Fire Dragon Arc (2016)
3. Conclusion
The anime only has two seasons, and the release order is recommended for watching. None of the episodes are fillers, so do not skip any of them!
4. About GATE
GATE follows the story of Youji Itami, an off-duty JSDF (Japan Self Defence Forces) officer, who was on his way to an otaku event in Ginza, Tokyo, when the city is suddenly attacked by an army of supernatural creatures in medieval attire.
The source of these supernatural beings is a mysterious gate that opens up in the middle of the city. He saves as many civilians as he could, but the city is left shattered after the attack.
Three months after the accident, Itami is assigned as the leader of a task force. The mission of the force is to venture into the mysterious land through the gate in order to gather more information about the strange land and hopefully save the world from a devastating future.
