Plots(1)
When a mysterious gate suddenly appears in Tokyo's Ginza district and begins spewing armed warriors and flying monsters, the world is thrown into turmoil. Although the deadly attack is thrown back by Japan's Self Defense Force, there's now a new and entirely unknown land on the other side of the portal, and Japan is effectively at war with a nation on the other side. Determined to secure peace, the JSDF must send an armed force into the Gate, but ogres, dragons and a ruthless Empire populated by elves, humans, and half-animal warriors aren't the only dangers they'll face. With the resources of two worlds at stake, the balance of power on both sides of the Gate is destabilizing, and betrayal can come at any time, from any quarter. Officer Youji Itami and the JSDF's Third Reconnaissance Team must find a way to persevere & bring peace to the two nations. (Sentai Filmworks)

Reviews (1)
Combining the military and fantasy adventure genres in one show is quite interesting. It also has a bit of politics and some pretty interesting subject matter. The main male protagonist is quite easy to watch, and of the other characters, I think Rory Mercury is probably the best. However, the rest of Itami's "harem" also has its charms. I did not find any significant problem with the soundtrack or animation, and I quite liked the dragon, for example. This show was very pleasant to watch even though it was very one-sided. As Mi Nü-Chai writes so brilliantly in their review on FilmBooster, it is all a "very cute Japanese wet dream about their greatness and power". I still liked this Japanese military fairy tale a lot, and I would love to watch the third season with the sub-heading "Zolzal's Revenge", 8/10.
