Season 2 should have been a direct sequel not the navy spinoff
>>287757595I have no familiarity with the series beyond existing anime adaptation (so my opinion should be disregarded, as I'm retarded) but there's a multitude of ways to make a navy adaptation cool. Take that scene in GitS 2nd GIG where they buzz an American submarine. Still gives me goosebumps every time I see it
NavalBROS RISE UP
>>287757931Fuck yeah
>>287757595Judging by YouTube shorts this whole anime is about 45 year old JSDF boomers rizzing up girls young enough to be their granddaughters huh
>>287757595And with some actual military professionals involved writing it.Japanese soldiers act ultra-retarded here, instead of spreading out and digging in, they set up a "military style camp".MC is even worse, as Otaku he should have known that the fact they were attacked by the ancient Rome style units, doesn't means that they are save.One Megumin like wizard could blow up the entire unit.Such behavior goes against the fundamentals of military tactics, the knowledge gleaned from anime, and common sense.Underestimating opponent is one of the biggest mistakes you can do in fight.
They should fight the way a real army would. With communications, a chain of command, reconnaissance, multi-layered defense, etc.Microbiological protection measures should be at the highest possible level; no decontamination or quarantine, once something gets in, it doesn’t come back out. Unless they’re tightly sealed samples that are confirmed safe.Maximum security on the other side as well, so we don’t drag any crap back from us to that other world.And so on until we’re sure it’s safe and there’s no need for mass vaccinations.Of course, evacuate the entire vast area around the gate and plant hydrogen bombs on both sides as a last line of defense.
>>287760106Before anyone says it would be boring, quite the opposite. We’d need scouting teams to go “at the forefront” to explore that world, establish relations with the inhabitants, identify potential threats, and so on.And that’s where the MC and other characters come in.
I read a novel back when I was in like middle school, where the premise was virtually identical to gate and in hindsight, I wonder who copied who. It even had the fantasy faction be hilariously, incompetent compared to the military faction, despite having dragons and wizards who could cast mountain sized fireballsI don’t really remember the name, but I remember the cover had some dragons flying over a fort armed with machine guns I think
how will they nipponwank then
>>287760050It is just JSDF propaganda. The faggots who use this to say that a modern military would curb stomp a fantasy setting are ignoring how painfully incompetent are the not-Romans. They don't even employ basic war formations or use scouts. Not to mention that magic is woefully underutilized. If you can't beat a modern army with prep time and DnD magic, it is your own damn fault.
Why do people hate the navy so much?
>>287760179Those “non-Romans” actually used formations, but their shields and armor were completely ineffective against modern weapons.And worst of all, as part of political infighting, that army was deliberately sent into the meat grinder.
I only care about Rori and her perfect VA.
>>287760185It’s not that they hate it; it’s just that depicting modern naval combat in an anime is something that’s hard to make both interesting and realistic.What are they supposed to show? Radar, sonar, and hydrophone readings, and then at most the effect of a missile or torpedo fired from a long distance?
>>287760179>>287760217Both sides here are woefully incompetent. The JSDF is even worse off, because they were under normal command, whereas the enemy’s behavior was largely the result of one “non-Roman” faction sabotaging another.
>>287757595Doesn't matter. It's going to be pic related in the end.
>>287760315The message of the show is that if you join the Japanese army you will get to bridal carry foreign teenagers
>>287760372>t. Chinese butthurt bot
>>287760179>If you can't beat a modern army with prep time and DnD magic, it is your own damn fault.If you still need horses and steel armour in your armies, your magic is not advanced enough, In worlds where magic IS strong enough to face modern armies, the equivalent foot soldiers are moving at sonic speeds and cleave mountains. Anywhere that still use regular men with weapons made by blacksmiths, are not going to resist a modern army.
>>287760315why are you so obsessed with that image?did some dbspic hurt your feelings in /co/?
>>287760050In many isekai, MC faces weak opponents at the start, fortunately, he’s not stupid enough to start fucking around and show everyone who he is and how strong he (think he) is.It could have been the same here, just because the gate appeared in a backward backwater doesn’t mean there isn’t an aggressive techno-magical empire a few thousand kilometers away that poses a deadly threat.
>Racism outside of /b/yikes!
This is the first I've heard of season 2 being a spinoff. I only read the manga. It's retarded not because the whole thing is JSDF boomer wank or the Navy is bad, it's because there is zero chance the first season wrapped up all the storylines of the manga or novels and it's fucking dumb as shit to just drop it all.
>>287761056I don't like it when MC wins a fight because it makes me feel inadequate as a man :(I hate MC
>>287761056In Tensura, we also saw the opposite scenario. What happens when you make a slew of mistakes, including underestimating your opponent? You end up losing a war you could have won.
>>287761312Exactly the same thing could have happened at GATE. A powerful enemy would have broken through and encountered an unprepared, unentrenched unit gathered in one place, with no idea what had attacked them or how to defend themselves. And then panic on the other side because the city wasn’t evacuated and some damn thing starts spreading through it, and no one knows what to do.I’m completely setting aside moral issues here, like who attacked whom, who deliberately exposed them, who committed war crimes, etc.I’m talking about the purely military aspect.
>navy spinpffqrd? I watched GATE a couple months ago
I hope we get to see best girl again in S3
Wait there's a new season?
>>287761507Is that a girl? I like girls
>>287758132Is this the missile that did a 180?
>>287761239There's a new manga too.
>>287757595Why do americans complain about this show being a JSDF wank when it's similiar to a typical Holywood style military glorification?An overpowered military curbstomps a technologically inferior enemy, impresses their women by being so based and cool while leaving the male population as seething cucks.
Nice timing, I'm currently reading through this. Quite fun shlock.>>287760241Arpeggio has the answers to your questions in quintessential eleven fashion.
>>287762846They're just not used to being in the potentially receiving end of such pompousness.
>>287762846Because it’s boring seeing the same side win every time. It becomes predictable.
>>287757595i liked the girls in the first one. the military stuff was just whatever and felt like they were crushing it too easily.
>>287762846Americans hate the japaneseWell actually they hate all asians
>>287763083thishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Teutoburg_Forestremembered precisely because an inferior tech army obliterated a superior enemy by exploiting a weakness. the show would be more interesting if it had real casualties on the japanese side.
The curse of liking military slop much like mecha is you'll accept anything handed to you because it's in such short supply but nothing will ever fully satisfy you.
>>287757893Why do they ever let him escape?
>>287760865When making a literal drop of water is considered advanced tier magic then the entire thing is just an excuse to make sure no one is hurt for the military side.>the equivalent foot soldiers are moving at sonic speeds and cleave mountains.Ever heard of resistance movements? any sentient thinking race destroys humanity just by being physically superior while having the minds to actually think and no, animals are nowhere near sentient like isekai beasts or demons.
>>287760050>Japanese soldiers act ultra-retarded hereconsistent with what i've heard from people who cross-trained with them desu
>>287763240I'm pretty sure Americans also hate everyone who looks to be competent.
>>287765353Always blame the editor, publisher, or both.
>>287767535If not for stopping something that should have happened, then for not making the original author do it when he didn't plan to.
>>287762846>An overpowered military curbstomps a technologically inferior enemylike what films? the typical hollywood military glorification almost always positions the americans as the underdogs, actually. transformers, superman, independence day, red dawn, battle for la, war of the worlds, etc.
>>287766458at least share some stories
>>287765353I’m fine with cockblocking but I guess the author and editor are too retarded to use it in the story
>>287769839I can be fine with it once or twice, but the girls should be successful after that.
