Gate season 1 episode 1
Itami Youji is 33 years old and an otaku. He only works to support his hobby and will choose his hobby over work. Itami is going to a doujinshi exhibit and is looking for information using his phone when he hit a pole. He dreams of an elf, a mage and a goth loli. He wakes up and continue walking. A gate like structure appear in Ginza, Japan, and dragons appear from it. While walking Itami get a glimpse on it. At the same time an army with goblins, orc and human from old generation come out of the gate and start attacking civilians. I fear that the doujinshi exhibit might be cancel, Itami decide to act and goes to help the people. A police office shoots a soldier riding a dragon but the soldier is not dead and dashes towards the police officer, Itami subdue him and kills him with his own dagger, the pic is the one above. Itami goes to a police box near the Imperial Palace and tells the police officer there to let the people in the Imperial Palace and barricade them. While the two are arguing the police officer gets a call which tells him that the civilians take priority. Soon the police force and the JSDF arrive and defeat the enemy soldiers and captures them. Several days later, Itami, who was a JSDF soldier, gets a commendation from the Minister and is promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. At work Itami makes a new acquaintance, Kurata, also a JSDF soldier. Kurata was also at the doujinshi exhibit, so Itami befriends him immediately after knowing that he was there, at the exhibit I mean, and that he bought some stuff there. Itami and the unit he is in gets new uniforms and they must go beyond the GATE. Coming out of the gate it is a battle immediately.
Well, well, well. This episode is always fun to watch because you see Itami at his best. It does differs a bit from the manga but since we are talking about anime I will not compare them any further. The graphics is good and with quite some hairstyle. The story is a never seen for me as I will always imagine soldiers fighting with sword separate from soldier using gun. But I think I will find out the difference very soon. The vehicles graphic are really great and the facial expression are quite good. The story did lag a bit behind but the start with the little preview and the end where the fight is about to begin was great. Those three girl will spice things up am sure of.
Over and out for now
