The pacing is quite good as well considering this is confirmed for 24 eps.\rbr\rbrEpisode 1:\rbrA-1 BACK TO THEIR NORMAL STANDARD! -Gate has a great deal of potential.if it delves into the politicaleconomicmilitaristic aspects heavily itll be beast - YOUJIS OTAKU LEVEL IS MAD HIGH (I like this dude.although realistically hes kinda ridiculous.but hes hilarious and goes in)\rbrGOTH LOLI GODDES MERCURY IS BEST GIRL CALLING IT NOW!\rbrDef similar scenario to outbreak company but I think this has the potential to be better for sure\rbrlooking forward to Episode 2\rbr\rbrSummary:\rbrIn August of 20XX, a portal to a parallel world, known as the Gate, suddenly appeared in Ginza, Tokyo. Monsters and troops poured out of the portal, turning the shopping district into a bloody inferno.\rbrThe Japan Ground-Self Defence Force immediately took action and pushed the fantasy creatures back to the Gate. To facilitate negotiations and prepare for future fights, the JGSDF dispatched the Third Reconnaissance Team to the Special Region at the other side of the Gate.\rbrYouji Itami, a JSDF officer as well as a 33-year-old otaku, was appointed as the leader of the Team. Amid attacks from enemy troops the team visited a variety of places and learnt a lot about the local culture and geography.\rbrThanks to their efforts in humanitarian relief, although with some difficulties they were gradually able to reach out to the locals. They even had a cute elf, a sorceress and a demigoddess in their circle of new friends. On the other hand, the major powers outside the Gate such as the United States, China, and Russia were extremely interested in the abundant resources available in the Special Region. They began to exert diplomatic pressure over Japan.\rbrA suddenly appearing portal to an unknown world—to the major powers it may be no more than a mere asset for toppling the international order.
