In anticipation of the Gate anime second season airing on the 9th, I'm going to be dumping the manga chapters leading up to everything covered so far. Because I want to .
Starting with the first volume.
And here we go
this is a little different from the anime isn't it?
I dig the armor designs
Make me wonder. Did they really just pile everyone up like that to just plant the flag? I guess that's one way to do it.
Good to see Itami has his priorities straight.
Although it's kind of glossed over in the manga and the anime, the whole battle here takes place over a couple of weeks. At least two.
Anyone even here? I'm by myself aren't I?
I believe mister nose is supposed to be a mage. Though it's not really important to anything.
Ok, I know what the Emperor is doing here, but these guys just lost an army of 100k+. And nobody is doing to bother and find out why? Can't the Senate just deny the Emperor if there's enough votes or something?
Watching Indiana Jones. I think.
Should I even bother continuing? Seems dead in here.
I think this American President knows too much about Japanese history.
Enter the lovely Pina Co Lada.
Welp. On page 10. Guess nobody was interested.
Somebody say something.
Guess I'll end it here
>>135672205
Eh, thanks anyway. It wasn't much, but it was interesting to see how the manga was infinitely better than the anime SERIOUSLY A-1 FUCK YOU THE CHARACTERS AREN'T IN SWORD ART FUCKING ONLINE
>>135673066
I can keep going if someone is interested.
Eh, might as well.
>>135670677
this is glorious
the mangaka is a god
>>135673389
Why the hell did the anime decide to use that silly CGI dragon?
>>135673435
not just the dragon
Tank, APC, LAV, everything
today animator cann't drawn
>>135673545
it's a shame
donk
So, they find an elf, and they first thing they do is strip it naked and kidnapped it. I'll never understand what japan has against elfs.
Suddenly best girl
Jhiiii~
Meanwhile, something they glossed over in the anime is happening.
This part bugged me in the anime. Rori just shows up with very little reason and kills all these dudes. Made her look like she was just some crazy girl.
and scene transition
It's never actually explained why she's just chilling out in the middle of the road here. I suppose it's just coincidence that the refugees just happen upon her, but I'unno.
You guys still interested? Please advise?
>>135675520
>>135675520
Tighten your damn chinstraps. They shouldn't be dangling like that.
Yeah see. She's just chilling here for no real reason. I get the feeling she was waiting for them.
Welp, on page 10 again. Maybe I should have started after work hours. If the thread kills, I'll restart later where it ends.
>>135675956
I like how much more muscular the manga dragon is.
>>135676155
It's almost looks like a dragon doesn't it? As opposed to that chubby looking thing in the anime.
>muffled JSDF music intensifies
>>135676192
A fat dragon doesn't make sense in the setting either; it was supposed to have been hibernating for years; so it should have lost body mass over time.
If anything, it should have been lean and extremely mean, to help explain why it's been aggressively huntingbesides being woken up early to mate and hunt to feed offspring.
>>135676339
The anime is just a mess
I wonder if there's anything rifle sized that could shoot through it's armor. Aside from RPGs.
It's funny how this comes back later
>>135676373
It's going to be a horrific nightmare of a mess once we get to blue skinned wyvern girl and the two little dragons.
They already massacred all the other races.
>>135676435
Probably one of those older and experimental or limited-production anti-tank rifles?
Would be heavy as hell though.
Hmm, I'm surprised the dragon didn't bleed out. But then again, it is a dragon.
>>135676721
Oh shit I forgot about the other two dragons and the dragon girl. They're going to butcher her.
And yeah, maybe one of those rifles would be good. Although they're a bit unwieldy.
Suddenly Pina
What the hell character is that? I don't recognize it.
>one was a foreign beauty
>the other was a cute girl
>neither of these will be in the anime
I can't help but wonder if there was another translation for The Rod of Steel.
Sorry guys. You're Hamilton is already engaged.
>>135677212
*your
shit
What the hell is your job Yanagida? Never figured that out.
Why did they turn Yanagida into a pretty boy? Literally turned him into a character from Free.
Why are japanese radishes so fucking huge
Does Rori even need money?
Although it's only vaguely mentioned, later in the story someone from the Gate world finds one of Itami's cosplay fashion magazines lying around. And all the tailors start using it as references for new designs when the high ladies want new dresses. It's some holy book to them.
On page 10 again? What the hell people?
>>135676761
Assuming that part of the wound was cauterized in the explosion, and the usual expected healing level of a dragon of that size, it's not likely to bleed out.
What's more amazing though is that it wasn't disoriented by the explosion, and thus could still fly away.
>>135678163
Dragons are tough.
>>135677399
Intelligence with some liasion/communications, I'm guessing.
On one end, he's trying to get Itami to use his influence to gain advantages for Japan, like more land for resources.
On the other, he's handling reporting and managing the shit that results from Itami's actions, including things like letting Pina and Bozes visit the other side of the GATE, and giving Itami a stipend to use on their guests.
>Boss had a hard life
>>135678312
Dude really has his hand in a lot of things.
>>135670572
So what, the second season is going to dragons and ending there?
Sounds pretty boring to be honest.
>>135678352
Yeah pretty much. But at least we can have fun complaining about it and watching elfs kill themselves.
>>135678151
/a/ is one of the boards where the same poster can't bump the thread after 1 or 2 posts, right?
>>135678394
Nah, when someone else but me posts it bumps the thread, it's just that /a/ goes fast and everyone is quiet here.
>>135678376
>We will never get to the revolution and civil war resulting from Tyuule's actions.
>We will never get Japan countering mind-control with drones.
>We will never get Itami's misadventures while the GATE isclosed.
Then again, I'm not sure I'd want another season with the massacred designs. God forbid they massacre the mermaids and centaurs too.
wouldn't this kind of be considered a war crime? This is so one sided it's stupid.
>Iron Thorns
you don't fuck with Concertina wire.
>>135678626
The victors write the conditions and get to name the crimes. It also helps that the JSDF has the excuse of "they invaded first".
I wanna join recon III
>>135678772
There's better pictures of that
Manga Grey is so based.
>>135678823
I know but my phone is shitty when it comes to pictures
I wonder if they're going to skip the Akusho girls side-plot entirely.
Or massacre that entire side-plot with brown pillowcase-wearing facsimiles.
>>135679066
I doubt they'll skip it, but I'll be surprised if they actually call them prostitutes. And we already know the designs will be butchered to hell and back.
By the way that's a cameo of the mangaka.
>>135679156
I learned something new.
Grey is a beast
The Dragons are all very tough; it's safe to say that nothing short of a direct hit from an antitank missile will hurt them. Later on, when the JSDF intercepts the two younger Dragons, the 20mm from their M61A1 Vulcans can only wind them, and their hides are resistant to fragmentation from the 155mm arty rounds. Only the TOW missiles can hurt them, and you still need to hit them in the right place.
I'm going to marry Rory.
>>135679713
I'll take Pina or Hardy's blue-skinned dragon girl servant.
>Robocop on the ballista
>>135679754
That ain't gonna fly. The dragon girls are mine.
>>135679803
All of them? Even the Akusho one?
>>135679835
Especially the Akusho one.
>>135679876
Oh fine. I'll take Pina then.
>>135680040
It really looks like her nipples are poking through her breastplate.
Oh yeah, I forgot there's supposed to be hobbits in this world.
And that's all for volume 1. I'll stop here for today and continue tomorrow. Also might split tomorrow's too. That took a long ass time.
I hope all 8 of you enjoyed this.
>>135680177
I did, thanks.
>>135680177
Thanks for this.
>>135680177
Thanks friendo.
>>135680177
wow didn't see this thread at all today, thanks lad, I forget how gruesome the introduction to this epic is
Raining hellfire on zombie or raining hellfire on medieval savages. Which one is more satisfying i wonder?
>>135681159
Medieval savages. Zombies don't have a clue what they're doing.
>>135681159
savages.
At least you can later befriend them, or if you were a little less moral, use their own customs against them.
Heck, Pina was expecting herself and other females to be raped and used as a cumdumpster while the men would be taken away to be used in hard labor.
Oh god the dragon CGI is horrible
Please god people read the manga
>>135680177
Thanks
>>135680177
Again a good GATE Thread
Is it possible to download all these images at once ? I´ll have a long trip the next day, so a little bit of offline reading would be splendid.
>>135684088
you could just go to /ak/ and download the volumes there.
>>135679713
Fuck off my waifu
>>135676672
This part confuses me.
Did Rory use some kind of power to steer the rocket into the dragon or something? It's kinda unclear in the anime as well.
>>135684292
It's more obvious in the anime, but she chunks her ax at the dragon's foot and makes it stumble.
>>135684248
Fuck you, you little shit. She's mine and mine alone. Do you think you're really worthy of her? A pathetic little uninteresting bitch like you. Yeah, nah. Fuck off, she's mine. MINE! I'LL FIGHT YOU RIGHT FUCKING NOW I SWEAR IT
>>135684320
Ah I see the axe now.
>>135684368
Go fuckyourself. You can have the cum dumpster rabbit girl faglord
I want to love a catgirl tenderly~
>>135684534
Cum dumpsters seem to be more of your thing you cum guzzling faggot. You go and have your fun with the rabbit, me and MY waifu Rory will be happy at home cuddling.
Lurking.
>>135685680
The faggot fight is long done.
I guess I get to have the siren all for myself.
>>135686508
What? I'm still reading further up the page. I got here late, but I read OP's increasingly desperate pleas for people to confirm that they were reading.
>>135687250
You guys are super late
too furry for me, manga has the better design
>>135687427
The manga is pretty close furry too
>>135687213
I'll take the anime Myuute out of sympathy
>>135687329
Better late than never.
So far, I can definitely see a charm in the manga's art that people might find missing in the (admittedly more sterile) anime. Especially its panel layouts, though I did think the split-screen sequences in the anime were neat. I hope they keep that up.
>>135687427
>>135687558
>>135687645
you just had to remind us
>>135679412
That bird girl seems out of place.
I feel like a chick fighting among bandits like these wouldn't work out too well. What's stopping them from turning on her once they go into their rape frenzy?
>>135687427
U wot? The manga is way furrier on average, besides, it's hard to recreate the not-that-furry skin look when you have to colour digitally, and relatively flat. Cut them some slack.
>>135687645
Wait what animal is the bottom one even supposed to be?
>>135687764
apparently she was part of one of the armies that attacked Alnus Hill. Other than that I'unno.
>>135687764
She's a magician (no need to get into the frontlines) and probably a friend who protects them with wind magic. Either they don't see her as a rape target, or it's consensual with them.
God dammit, why the anime character design literally screams "WE WANT THE IDOL ANIME AUDIENCE"?
>>135687908
>we want the SAO audience
Fixed.
>>135687994
No that's literally "We want the Idol audience". SAO has nothing to do with it.
>>135687764
She's one of the few magic users, probably along with the few other girls among the former military-turned-bandit group (all of those girls only had battle exhaustion; none of them had slave collars or the like).
She has legitimate value; she's able to turn away enemy arrows and manipulate the wind to make her side's own arrows fly further and truer. Legitimately valuable if planning to siege and raid larger towns and cities.
>>135687830
A housecatgirl.
Persia's more of a wildcatgirl.
>>135688236
>housecat girl
w2c?
>>135688741
Intel man got real lucky with her.
>>135688741
is it racist?
>>135688236
Either one of them show up yet?
The one in pink did show up in the manga
>>135688741
This is the most ruined character design in the anime imo. In the manga, shes portrayed as this strong healthy female warrior, how they're gonna make her slender figure in the anime into a proper bunny warrior is beyond me.
>>135670572
Where can I read the Light Novel?
>>135689353
Sky's blog
>>135688857
Not really, considering that is her bunny warrior standard dress and warpaint.
Now if it was some other female character other than a bunny girl attempting to replicate the dress and paint, more likely. Just like all the racist comments when it comes to inaccurate portrayals of native americans.

Thank you.

On the other side of the GATE. Just find a family of domestic catpeople and pick one of their children.
If none are to your liking, show the father the GATE equivalent of pre-2016 Playboy magazine. He will soon go forth and multiply with his wife.
>>135690172
In the latest volume he's giving Persia a message. It's pretty sexy.
>>135684778
Spoken like a true cummguzzling cucklord.Go fuck your second hand whore rabbit along with your slut harpy you faggot.I'll sit back and watch as Rory cucks you with me cockgobbler.
>>135690325
>>135684778
What are you sluts even saying anymore?
>>135690325
>taking that long to respond
Too busy fucking your used up rabbit slut, fuccboi? I hope you can hear me and Rory laughing at how pathetic you look.
>>135680177
Thanks, OP.
>>135670742
>this is a little different from the anime isn't it?
The anime obeyed self censorship concerning gore. Japan is afraid of gore almost as much as America is afraid of sex.
I can't believe how much of Gate I've read. It's the dumbest series I've ever seen.
>>135695768
You clearly haven't read many manga or watched enough anime, kiddo.
>>135680177
thanks OP
>>135678351I thought this guy was the dragon for the longest time.
>>135671466
People like to read, also bump limit is a thing
>>135673795
Maybe this is the reason that she get dad issues with Itami
>>135674797

Damn that Rory is so hardcore
Lelei is so cute
Tuka is just adorable

You don't marry Rory
SHE marries you
>>135673435
>Why the hell did the anime decide to use that silly CGI dragon?
It's a 2 cour show. That's rather expensive and they need to save money where possible.

Demigods are require to walk the Earth for the entire duration of their 1000 year apprenticeship. This means they are not allowed to just live in a temple and have their needs taken care of. They have to travel and be a public figure and representative of their god. And since gods rarely answer prayers the demigods end up being the ones you might ask for help. Rory is around the area because of the recent battles
>>135678626
>wouldn't this kind of be considered a war crime?
Why? Standard artillery barrage, every major military has them.
>>135702286
I think What he mean is the slaughtering people with bombs is a warcrime part and its not, killing innoncent civilian is
Good morning brothers
