opinion on Gate? can it be defined as JSDF recruitment propaganda?
>>18340I guess it's kind of like a Japanese version of 1632 then.
Actually on second thought that series didn't even deliver on the power fantasy wank, and the pace was glacially slow to the extent that nothing ever happens, so never mind.
>>18337Wish this thread was talked about more so will bump it and talk. I saw the first season and ragged on it with a few of my friends. To note the anime is the least nationalistic out of all the adaptions. The webcomic and manga are more nationalist. The author himself is a JSDF guy and made it retarded for that reason. The shit gets more retarded the longer it goes on. IT takes steps to try and get the Americans not involved (author says the Americans are too busy in the Middle East not knowing how much manpower U.S has) let alone the U.N itself.
The show is crap in general since even as a nationalistic show its kinda stupid as its the JSDF shooting at age of antiquity not-roman empire. Hard to show you are the big strong guy when your enemies are unarmed. Russia, China, U.S all appear as rivals and send in their specops at some point to capture the murder loli the MC got in isekai world. I forget what America and Russia want but China wants gateworld to fill it with Chinese and take its shit.
MC is a gary-sue who is some Jap ranger which I am told via the anime is a high rank and super cool. He's also a lazy otaku but can be serious and fight in the army anytime he wants. He promises.
The funniest part though is later in the series. The funny thing with nationalists is sometimes you can see their national traumas or insecurities about their nations. For a lot of Japanese for some reason its whaling. As its not too common but I've seen the Japs insert whaling for some reason as a plot point. In Gate the Chinese use anti-whaling activists as a psy-op and try to kidnap the one mage loli in the MC's harem to blackmail the Japanese government.
