Another episode, another manga dump, enjoy.
Beginning of volume 5
It's going to take over two hours to dump all this, and I might have to go somewhere later. So please be kind and bump the thread.
>>136167607
I like the architecture.
Overall I think todays episode was fine. They rushed the hell out of it but it really didn't feel like it. They did well.
Appreciate it, as always.
>>136167759
No problem. I enjoy the conversations.
>>136167845
I think that's a joke that's lost in translation.
>>136168050
this implies they've opened Gates to other worlds before.
>>136168472
they should make a GATE game with a "Punch Zorzal into Hamburger" minigame.
>>136168707
hey superdick, you would be turned into a skid mark within seconds.
>>136167103
>It's going to take over two hours
That's fine, I'll be reading this during work when that happens.
>>136168747
>>136169014
>That fever blush
>Rock-hard nips
I kinda wish they'd kept Kuribayashi getting off on murder in the anime, but I guess they had to tone it down a little.
>>136170002
At least the anime finally managed to show the sheer terror Pina has at this scene finally. Normally it comes off as slightly scared in the anime. When Kuribayashi opens fire in the anime they finally show actual terror.
>>136170747
Anime could have done this better.
>>136170350
The smug teddybear grabbing for bunny tits. Hah.
So, am I the only one that noticed the sudden drop in quality since the dragon fight chapter of this manga? And what the actual fuck was that cringeworthy plotskip after finding the medicine in the ruins? It was fucking godawfull, fuck, I love this manga, enjoy the adaptation, but I wonder what the actual fuck went wrong with the manga there.
>>136170982
This arc was for baka Yao.
Reading about peoples thoughts on Tyuule right now is interesting
>>136170982
I feel the same way with the recent arc but since it's being released monthly it take a while for a final verdict. It's just been one arc after all, I'm looking forward to more empire-and-modern age interactions.
>>136171641
Diabo's the weakest link, he overthinks things and doesn't even have a ongoing plan unlike his impulsive brother who's aware of what's actually being practiced
>>136171639
I'm with you on the part of waiting for how the new arc unfolds. Although, I'm strongly feel that the author should be ashamed about the quality drop. It's a real pity and I wonder if anything actually happened there.
>>136171958
I'm not seeing what you guys are talking about. But oh well.
>>136171951
/a/ why didn't you protect her smile?
>>136171958
It felt like the direction was changed, maybe the editor didn't like where it was heading and decided the arc should end asap. I haven't read the LN but I'm assuming a lot was cut off since it ended pretty abruptly
>>136171641
I want a pet wabbit

How the fuck do you people put up with this bullshit?
>>136172519
Welp, that's all for now folks. Naturally ill continue next week. I hope you enjoyed this.
>>136172626
Those gloves are no joke.
Will the anime be a complete adaptation of the source material? Or at least skip middle stuff to have an ending?
>>136172626
>Pampered prince who probably hasn't had to do anything strenuous or suffered a single day in his life
>VS an actual soldier with proper combat training and experience
Shocking, I know.
>>136172755
Anime will go to the dragon arc at this rate easily.
>>136167154
>The world is ending!
>Calm down, it will end in a moment!
>>136172723
Speaking as someone who actually uses them regularly, yes, they are.
>>136172788
Son, his neck was thicker than her waist.
He did not hit her back ONCE. Even Mike Tyson got knocked a little by weaker opponents. This is just more bullshit plot armor to make the JSDF beeg and stronk.
Surely the JSDF is beeg and stronk enough, fighting a medieval level opponent with fucking JDAMs, surely that's enough?
>>136172935
Eh, its a fictional story. Best not to worry about it.
>>136172935
>Son, his neck was thicker than her waist.
That's more of the manga art choices, in the LN he's clearly a bitch fuckboi. He's fairly skinny in the anime too, but then Kuribayashi is even tinnier and looks like a teenager, so it's kind of a wash.
>He did not hit her back ONCE. Even Mike Tyson got knocked a little by weaker opponents
a) he's come to the sudden and terrifying realisation of what guns can do and that Itami will shoot his fucking face off with the one he had pointed at him if he tries anything and b) Mike Tyson and his opponents were, you know, professional boxers who had been smashed in the face before as part of their job. This guy probably hadn't been so much as scratched before in his life, she could easily have broken his nose and concussed him in the first punch alone. She probably did, going by the anime.
>>136173064
I HATE IT ANON
I HATE IT
>>136173173
>That's more of the manga art choices,
Okay, but you gotta make these things sync up.
> she could easily have broken his nose and concussed him in the first punch alone. She probably did, going by the anime
She's a scrawny woman. He can literally stick his arm out, grab her neck and hold her away.
The manga should have
A) had some oni or something take her place
Or B) make it a battle of wits
Or C) just shoot him in the leg
This is just cringeworthy. Could you at least make this woman look AND act like rhanda rousey? I'd be alright with that...
>>136168707
This could be Volt if we just put him a beard
>>136171385
How do they make ice?
>>136173531
Ice Magic.
>>136173473
I bet you bitching about Sherman vs Tiger scene in Fury too. Go away snob.
>>136173473
>She's a scrawny woman.
And he's a bitch prince with zero combat experience. And again, see the art choice issue above. He's not supposed to be a chiseled adonis in the first place.
Regardless, you're being picky and taking it too seriously. Kuribayashi could've been a hulking oni or they could've had Tomita do the beatdown, but that would defeat the point, which is that an arrogant fuck getting his shit pushed in by a cute girl with massive tits is hot.
Personally I'd like it if Kuribayashi was a bit bigger and more muscular, but that's not to everyone's taste. You've got to consider your target audience here.
>>136173635
>logic is BAAAD!
Oh, so that's why this manga is shit. It's just got shitty people following it
>>136173729
>He's not supposed to be a chiseled adonis in the first place.
THEN DON'T MAKE HIM ONE
>rrogant fuck getting his shit pushed in by a cute girl with massive tits is hot.
Personally I'd like it if Kuribayashi was a bit bigger and more muscular, but that's not to everyone's taste. You've got to consider your target audience here
But this is my point- you can't have this sort of drama interwoven with "she did it because it makes the fuccbois in the audience hard!"
It's like shit, you either make this dead or alive or apocalypse now, you can't have both...
>>136173742
>logic
>there is only one way I said!
Average snob. If you wanna look cool among other kids, study science.
>>136173473
>>136173914
>you only have one way1!!1!!!111!1
I actually gave four. I just want consistency, alright?
I knew this was going to make trouble once I saw the anime designs.
>>136173830
>But this is my point- you can't have this sort of drama interwoven with "she did it because it makes the fuccbois in the audience hard!"
>It's like shit, you either make this dead or alive or apocalypse now, you can't have both...
Except you totally can. The series is consistently gritty drama taking place right next to goofy comedy, you have a princesses and nobles being complete idiots and acting like schoolgirls as the foreground to serious politics. Between Itami and main four girls, the series is a borderline harem anime. Why you were expecting perfectly gritty realism from it is beyond me, because that's clearly not what it's about.
>>136173974
Well to answer some of your points, Itami specifically said NOT to kill him. Shooting him even in the leg could easily lead to killing him, it's not like they could rush him to hospital in pseudo-Rome.
Battle of wits is out, because Zorzal is evidently and idiot and so is Kuribayashi.
Oni is pointless, it's supposed to be real world Japan vs fantasy Rome, bringing in fantasy Japan would defeat the point.
We've been arguing about these same things with the manga guys. There is no right answer guys. Just let it go. You should be asking why did Persia scratch Itami.
>>136174224
>Except you totally can. The series is consistently gritty drama taking place right next to goofy comedy, you have a princesses and nobles being complete idiots and acting like schoolgirls as the foreground to serious politics
And it doesn't work at all. It's constantly deviantart-fanfiction tier *unsheathes katana* bullshit that clashes blatantly with the fun and titties part.
>Shooting him even in the leg could easily lead to killing him
Shoot him in the meaty part of his thigh. Or just punch him once. Or better, not at all. This is seriously fucking over your abilities to get along with the inhabitants of this new world. Even a badly equipped group of people will organize and fight back properly if provoked enough- america and Russia learned this the hard way. And boy, there's now a lot of reasons to sympathize with this country aren't there? Can you imagine the reaction the world would have if they saw half of the shit these guys do?
>honorable JDSF flattens the equivlant of the Roman coliseum
>honorable JSDF kills 1000+ soldiers with napalm strike, soldiers armed only with swords
>JSDF allows soldiers to brutally attack royalty of new land
>JSDF bombs town, casualties high; mostly women and children
Sooner or later you have to realize these people have all kinds of reason to hate you, and your own country isn't going to support it after a while, even if they did shoot first.
>Battle of wits is out, because Zorzal is evidently and idiot and so is Kuribayashi
>JSDF diplomacy given to ground soldier with criminal record who failed her written exams twice instead of high brass official; soldier later attacked the prince until he was so wounded he needed to be hospitalized
This isn't "gritty realism" it's just... Terrible
>>136173830
>>136174224
You also ignored the whole 'he'll get shot if he tries anything and has probably never had to fight ever in his life and doesn't know how to take a hit'
Also:
>Just lost all of his palace friends in the blink of an eye
>To some kind of demented foreigner with weapons he's never seen before
>Realising you too could be killed the same way in a second if you make a false move
>The same demented foreigner gets sicced on you
>They can't hurt you! You're the crown prince! Surely they can't- oh fuck
This is probably what went through Zorzal's mind. It probably never even occured to him to try and defend himself. It didn't even occur to him to defend himself from Itami when he first hit him.
>>136173473
Give any logical explanation to how he would be able to resist in that situation in the first place, with a fking gun pointing at him? Even if he is stronger he is still in a shitty situation
Its not MUH PLOT CONVENIENCE, you are just a whiny bitch
>>136174642
>And it doesn't work at all. It's constantly deviantart-fanfiction tier *unsheathes katana* bullshit that clashes blatantly with the fun and titties part.
Well you may not like it, but it's what makes it sell. That's the modern otaku market for you, I'm afraid.
>Shoot him in the meaty part of his thigh
Still a bad idea.
>Or better, not at all. This is seriously fucking over your abilities to get along with the inhabitants of this new world
Not really going to disagree with you on this one, but it's kind of beside the point I was talking about.
>JSDF bombs town, casualties high; mostly women and children
This is actually straight up wrong, it specifically states that they went out of their way to make sure there'd be no civilian casualties.
>This isn't "gritty realism" it's just... Terrible
Fair enough.
>>136174668
Then see here.
>>136174642
You remember when the author criticized america for being sloppy with its affairs? I didn't really mind that at the time, made sense to me. But this is seeming less and less legitimate with time. This isn't diplomacy, this is random thuggery. Why the FUCK are any of these grunts even in the same room as the crown Prince of a nation? So you not understand how utterly fucking unacceptable it is to even TOUCH someone like that in a political setting? This would be like one of the okinowan rape scandals, except instead of the marine raping some random woman he rapes the fucking princess.
>>136174642
Being snob is suffering. Why are you watching anime? Read non-fiction. Go fuckin away with your realism mambo jambo in /pol/ or youtube comments.
>>136174890
>This is actually straight up wrong, it specifically states that they went out of their way to make sure there'd be no civilian casualties
America tried doing that in Korea and we all know how bloody well that went. Smart bombs aren't actually all that smart.
>>136172935
>This is just more bullshit plot armor to make the JSDF beeg and stronk.
i love it when murrikeks get upset at this.
>>136175015
I don't really have an opinion on the political perspective. It's dumb, but people want to see an arrogant pampered shit who rapes slaves get fucked up. Not every manga can get by on assholes getting away from it because they're politically fireproof like in something like Wulfsmund, sometimes you've got to give the audience what they want.
>>136175059
They bombed the Senate building when there was literally no one near it in the middle of the night. Even the Empire confirmed that no one was actually hurt.
It's happening again. Where's that pic.
>>136175204
>Wulfsmund
I'm still mad as fuck
>>136175204
>Even the Empire confirmed that no one was actually hurt
Which they would obviously never do in a real situation. Also, by the way, I don't know if you've ever seen what a building like that getting knocked over looks like, but I have, and I assure you in any realistic situation the concrete flying away from that explosion had more than enough power behind it to kill people. And that's a lot of stuff flying around, so that's a lot of dead and injured people. Would you like to see a webm file of a Syrian soldier getting his fucking head taken off his shoulders by a flyig brick that came from a building 300 yards away from him? Because I can.
To be concise, I've been arguing this entire time that quote, "you can either have dead or alive or apocalypse now, you can't mix them" and I think I've been doing that pretty well. The numerous absurdities contained within this story are so blatant and unacceptable to any military operation I could literally write an essay about how utterly fucked this whole thing is. And I think you know that too.
I suppose I can see the appeal of all this despite the cringe. I am here after all too. i like titties and explosions as much as the next guy. My favorite rape slave is the dragon girl, I'd "pass" through her "gateway" if you know what I mean. In fact I generally hate "serious" war movies- Dr strangelove is my favorite of all time, saving Private Ryan the least. And there is a way to merge "gritty realism and humor" and have it work. I used Apocalypse now as my "realistic" movie and I can say that I was laughing my ass off throughout the first half of the movie. It just doesn't work here because apocalypse now has characters that while exaggerated (colonel Kilgore being roughly comparable to Mrs fists) are still believeable.
I won't critisize your ability to tolerate more bullshit than me, but I hope you can at least understand why I cringe.
>>136172935
What's so special about those gloves? I figured they were just protection/grip.
>>136175740

>>136175700
>Would you like to see a webm file of a Syrian soldier getting his fucking head taken off his shoulders by a flyig brick that came from a building 300 yards away from him? Because I can.
No, I wouldn't. I'm not into this sort of thing as much as you are, and I'm not sure anyone else reading this series is either.
>I won't critisize your ability to tolerate more bullshit than me, but I hope you can at least understand why I cringe.
Sort of, but I still feel that you take this shit way too seriously. Having said that, I take shit like Haganai seriously and get angry over it, so I'm not really any position to judge.
>>136175740
Bit of that, bit of >>136175828
They really aren't all that impressive. They help, but they're a force multiplier, not compensator
>>136172935
It's not even tthat difficult to beat down an opponent bigger than you.
1.Hit him in the face
2 If he didn't fall with the first punch, just keep punching, wait for him to stagger and then push him down
3. Once he's down just beat the crap out of him.
>>136175365
>this taste of justice
>>136176103
Zorzal was already on the ground in the first place. In the manga, anyway.
>>136175931
>I'm not into this sort of thing as much as you are, and I'm not sure anyone else reading this series is either
Milfags like me are drawn to the idea of shit getting smashed, either in a humorous context or a serious one. Come to think about it, cowboy bebop is a pretty good example of mixing the two and it working... Anyway.
>Sort of, but I still feel that you take this shit way too seriously.
A little. I'm very picky. Also I don't particularly like the whole otaku crowd or pandering to the otaku method. It feels like George Lucas selling out.
Whatever. Dragongirls. Tits. Explosions. Wharrrrrg.

Something about her just looks off. I think it's how shiny she seems to be making her look like the reflection off of a car or something. Maybe it's just the blue that's screwing with me.I still want to fuck all of her holes though.
>>136176350
> dragongirl
I just realized anime hasn't shown one. And the one we should see will only be for a minute. Watch the anime turn her purple or some shIt.
>>136176452
If they go through the end of the dragon arc you should see her for more than a minute, She should have at least 10 minutes of screentime with all of the monologuing about the dragon's food breeding it etc. not to mention the fight with rory and the apology.
>>136176450
It's probably the skin. She looks like the blueberry bitch from Charlie and the chocolate factory
>>136176452
They're probably going to make gilesle or whatever her name is, Mrs blueboobs just another cosplay-tier forgettable moeblob.

>>136166993
In about a month these threads will cease to exist, as anime will catch up with the manga.
By end of this season the anime will be about half a book ahead of the manga too.
>>136170982
That was an "extra" gaiden chapter from Gaiden+ novel, and not actually part of the book 3. That's why it felt out of place.
It's chronologically correct in place, but out of place in story telling.

>they were this mad
>>136177773
I doubt the anime will pass the Dragon arc. There's only like six episodes right?
>>136178682
Yes it will, this isn't speculation, it's fact.
Their official webpage shows episodes 18-24 as book 3.

Those are literally the same name as the novels.

It's not so much the blue I have an issue with it's how fucking glossy she looks. I guess it might be trying to show scales or something but the bitch looks like a waxed car. This is what it comes off looking like to me Skin, even scales shouldn't look like that. I guess she must be really oily or something.
>>136179096
Eh I dunno. We'll find out with time.
>>136178977
Actually military the United States with it's Southern Vietnamese allies fulfilled it's objectives. The Vietcong got utterly annihilated and had to be incorporated into the Northern Vietnamese army due to literally none of them being alive. The United States and South Vietnam only lost the war because of the public backlash against the war on the mainland.
>>136179148
... She is rather glossy isn't she?
I wonder if I could fix that with photoshop

you could possibly argue that she's based off of like a some kind of skink which are amphibious and rather glossy, but Giselle looks like she polishes her scales on top of that. Who knows, maybe that's a part of her daily routine. She's still hot and I bet she'll be lightly blue with just wings and maybe a little silver scales in the anime.

Nigger could you at least shitpost with the whole truth?
>>136180907
You do realize that most aces from the North Vietnamese military only scored kills because the United States military decided to restrict the F-4 to only air-to-air missiles? After seeing it's disastrous combat ratio they decided to allow machine guns once again in the F-4 and they easily dealt with the enemies MiG supplied by the Soviets and Chinese.

>>136181512
I just wanted my thread to be peaceful.
>>136181478
It's the complete truth that the United States only lost the Vietnam war was because the public was cancerous shit.
>>136181586
That probably won't happen, unfortunately. The old thread is about to die and the shitposters will probably migrate to this thread too.
>>136181478
As was typical for America, the brass massively misunderstood the situation.
They thought the F4 was going to usher in a period of air combat where guns were irrelevant and missiles made all the kills.
As a testament to how wrong they were, the abysmal F4 combat record before the inclusion of guns and the fact that guns are still relevant to this day.
>>136181723
It's the public's fault fool. American military can do nothing wrong.

>SDF soldiers are trained in the military self-defence art of toshu kakuto (徒手格闘), developed in 1952 by Major Chiba Sansu from a synthesis of jujutsu, karate, aikijujutsu, boxing and wrestling. The techniques of toshu kakuto are simplified and direct, to allow for their application whilst in combat dress and carrying field kit. There is an emphasis on the rapid transmission of maximum force in strikes, and for this reason toshu kakuto eschews the fully rotated punches and instep kicks of most karate forms in favour of vertical thrust punches and straight heel kicks
Probably that
