After watching the first season, I realized something.
That this anime has taught me that as an an us citizen we are MORALLY OBLIGATED to help Japan in it's endeavors. I mean, think about it. They're honorable, only use force in self defense, they save innocent lives.
Other nations want to bring them down, even out political system, but they continue to do justice.
They stand for what it right. Japan truly is the greatest nation in the world, next to us of course.

>>139461771
Cute.
GATE is interesting from a nationalist perspective for two reasons. The first is that Japan is the only country involved within the zone and the second is that the nations within the zone have their own culture protected (for the most part).
I for one see nothing wrong with the people inside the zone celebrating their culture, religions, and heritage. If that's nationalism, sign me the fuck up.
>>139464973
It's nationalistic because the nips are exclusively portrayed as noble heroes who just want to help people while everyone else is a retard trying to keep stronk Nihon down for their own selfish reasons. At no point does it even attempt to be anything other than one-sided.
>>139464658
>>139464797
And what's so funny about this is, with the special region in their clutches, Japan is essentially the most powerful and richest nation in the world.
Think about it. Japan has access to resources, money, AND magic?
Not to mention all the moolah and prestige the region brings with elves, immortal loli gods and furfag shit.
>>139461701
Fuck off /pol/
>>139465145
>AND magic?
Except they never even attempted to learn about magic for some reason, at least in the anime anyway. I don't know about the LN.
>>139465248
I heard from LN fags that magic is genetic so it's no good. Also, if you look at it, magic in GATE world is pretty shit. They could probably do some Lelei type magic/science mixing for some cool shit though.
>>139465397
>Lelei type magic/science mixing
See, all they need is to mix their magic blood with nip blood. Now you have a magic weilding nation with all the advancements in military.
Not even a filthy American or Chink can beat them.

Because Mages in the special zone were ignorant of modern physics and chemistry. To make fire, they thought it was an element and were basically willing pure flame into existence from nothing through sheer power. After reading up on things from Earth, Lelei figures out you just need to manipulate the air a little to make a flame for much less effort.

Just like in the original novels, that idea that US have to help Japan is bad. Basically, to have an FOB in the Special Region, US would basically occupy the whole capital of Tokyo and the nearest bay for logistics and keeping the men in the Special Region supplied. Basically, US will be kicking the Japanese out of their own soil.
The webnovel pointed it out, but the bunko, LN and manga removed it.
>>139470283
actually, Emroy decided that advancement of magic is detriment to the special region. Emroy possesed Leilei to tell her that, and Rory confirmed that if she attempted to teach the earth chemistry and physics in the presentation, Rory will kill Leilei.
Thats why Leilei switched her presentation to the Special Region is round, not flat.
also in the original novels, the diet only approved of 10000 men and 70s equipment save from some vehicles and super miniscule budget.
This is because the liberals in the diet wanted the JSDF to die. Then they can vote for no confidence and dissolve JSDF and Jad. The novels were written in the time that JSDF still answers to the Diet and doesnt have its own Ministry
>>139473490
>>139473211
When was the novel written anyway?
This sounds drastically different.
>>139473211
Just like in the original novels, that idea that US have to help Japan is bad. Basically, to have an FOB in the Special Region, US would basically occupy the whole capital of Tokyo and the nearest bay for logistics and keeping the men in the Special Region supplied.
What? The story made it clear that the US helps with the understanding that they would get benefits when the peace treaty is signed. There is no way to militarily occupy Tokyo without the civilians revolt. Just as America would never let British forces occupy New York no matter how much of an ally they are. The entire argument is absurd, and is only believable if you already think America is an evil empire.
Why the hell does America need bases in Tokyo? For what purpose?
>>139474722
started at 2006.
Thats why the three countries tried to kidnap the girls. because when that arc was written, it was the height of the global recession and the countries are looking at the Special Region as new untapped resources that could lift the economy.
and the original webnovels are more critical of the government, which is a no-no when you are going on print. so they edited it but at the same time, it looked more nationalistic
>>139474904
>Just like in the original novels, that idea that US have to help Japan is bad. Basically, to have an FOB in the Special Region, US would basically occupy the whole capital of Tokyo and the nearest bay for logistics and keeping the men in the Special Region supplied.
the Japanese constitution says that US will help in any conflict Japan has. this also involves the SR. Which means US will go into the SR instead of JSDF. which the scenario stated above will happen. and the civilians and the liberal politicians want it to happen.
In a move by the first prime minister in the story, he stated that the SR is part of Japan, so JSDF would handle it itself. The US role diminish to supplying Japan instead.
>>139474904
The first and second prime minister outright stated that the civilian and liberal politicians are simple minded and not thinking of the sovereignity issues.
Just look at the episode 2, its a blink youll miss it moment. the civilians want the JSDF out. They dont want JSDF going there, and want US to do it instead. this was glossed over in bunko, LN and manga
>>139475059
>the Japanese constitution says that US will help in any conflict Japan has. this also involves the SR. Which means US will go into the SR instead of JSDF.
You again?
The guy who keeps insisting that "America is obligated to help Japan" translated to "America is allowed to invade and occupy Japan against Japan's interests"?
>>139475195
not that guy, but you forgot that Japan has Japan-US security Treaty
The U.S.-Japan Security Treaty
In 1952 the United States Congress ratified the peace treaty that formally ended the American occupation of Japan. Simultaneously it ratified the "U.S.-Japan Security Treaty." This treaty allowed the American military to continue to use important bases in Japan for the defense of the Far East and to intervene in Japan to put down internal disturbances should the Japanese government request such assistance. While the Japanese government and a majority of the public supported the ratification of the new treaty, a sizable portion of the public did not. Even many pro-American conservative Japanese felt that the treaty compromised Japan's independence. Having negotiated this security treaty while under American occupation, however, Japan had little influence over its terms.
>>139467499
Even though I'm no american, I still think GAYT is too cringey, even for mainstream anime.

You are forgetting that the occupation is over. And that if you want to carry out this threat, you would have to do so by forcwe, and murder Japanese defending forces to do it. Because the JSDF isn't going to let you into their boarders without a fight. And if you think that stupid treaty give you the moral highground to invade Japan, you are either evil or retarded.

are you fucking mental or high on drugs or just plain psychopath?
the liberal politicians and civilians wanted no Japan participation in the SR and wanted US to do it instead, since its covered in the treaty.
The prime minister says that the politicians and civilians are too simple minded on the issue.
Thats why he announced that the SR is part of Japan and the empire terrorist so Japan should handle it itself.
are you even fucking paying attention you fucking dunderhead?
>>139468191
Japan armed forces have been cruel as it is more of the other see see China and Korea not to mention pearl harbor
>>139468145
Fun fact, thats actually an Australian
Their corporations are so greedy they neglect basic safety other nations do so they had Fukushima Diachi disaster and many other nuclear accidents including workers making a critical mass in a bucket with lethal explosion. Japanese execs, politicians and salarymen are the scum of the earth. The good ones do things like make anime manga and LN
gate is a Japanese anime series made by Japanese, it is obvious that the good guys are the Japanese as well as in wester films the villains were the Indians and the settlers good, old story
So, third season when?
>>139476562
I mean, it sold pretty well, so what could possibly derail S3 from happening?
>>139461701
See how it works is you paint the military as a great humanitarian and force for good in the media. People watch or read said media and sign up with their eyes filled with stars.
Reality is, you are just an asset to be used to achieve whatever purpose the government needs. You have no conscious will to oppose the military, you are under contract with severe penalty for failing to comply with orders. This is re-enforced during your training so you understand to fear your superiors more than a fictional (at this time) enemy.
In the end you are an automaton that pretty much must do as told whether you like it or not. If you're lucky like I was, nothing much happens or the mission is a moral and just one. If not, well that's why there were such treats like operation stop loss.
The real result is you are part of the weapon used to force people to comply with your governments will.
>>139469212
I wouldn't, seems like a very mature 12 year old to me.

Tell that to the show's author.
>>139467499

Either this author is a complete moron or he utterly gives no care about his own country's constitution, its treaty with the US and international laws.
>>139461701
And then Japan realised it's no longer a great power and went back to making increasingly overpriced and shitty electronic goods that nobody buys.
Also the director was found to have died of an overdose. In his suicide letter it was written 'I, no longer have the will to live now that Love Live is over. My career is dead.'
>>139473211
Nigga, there used to be half of a million US soldiers operating in 'Nam and the gooks were still in their own country without being kicked out. They also had no complain and practically begged the army to stay as long as possible.

>>139475195

Seriously, do you truly believe there is only one person here thinks like that? It's a fact every body would know after reading the mutual treaty between the US and Japan.

Oh, it did? That's cool.
>>139478332
>>139478332
basically, mages in the SR are smug and arrogant as fuck. did you see the sadistic Leilei. combat mages are like that.
Emroy said that while JSDF removes the honor in fighting, he approves that JSDF is on the defensive side.
Emroy states mages getting powered up will escalate the conflict and may up to the point that JSDF throws the kids gloves off or other nations butt in, which will completely destroy the stability of the world, so she showed Leilei a vision of mushroom cloud and people with melted faces, the point of conflict which Emroy doesnt want to happen
>>139479019
That Emroy sounds retarded and paranoid as fuck. History already proves that the moment mankind achieved the power to destroy themselves, they effectively abandoned their right to wage war on global scale. It's called Mutual Assured Destruction. What she told Leilei was basically "humans will immediately nuke each other off the face of earth once they get their hand on nuclear power". It's clearly the thinking of retards.
>>139478094
Every superhero movie?
>>139479488
you are applying earth ideology to the people living in SR.
the people in SR, in a way run by retards when compared to our values.
remember that this is the home of Diabo, who wants guns, tanks, helicopters and firearms traning in exchange of Leilei so he can overthrow Zorzal, squash Pina's empire in exile and take over the throne.
>>139478094
Red Dawn.
>>139479488
also, the SR is run by bitches and whores so of course, Emroy is looking out for the people in SR, Hardy just want the SR to burn for the lulz
>>139467499
While America has just as much war propaganda, it isn't immune to showing how shitty Americans can be. You ever watch a 'nam flick? Those ones are notorious for showing how shitty American soldiers acted.
Of course, there are movies like GATE that just stroke the US military's dick the entire time, but making such an incorrect generalization that most US war movie paints the US in a positive light is retarded. Hell, I didn't even watch American Sniper but isn't that one kind of notorious for showing how shitty America is? There's no shortage of negative portrayals of the US in Iraq/Afghanistan in the media. I'd say since the 70s at least most war movies take a neutral approach to representing the armies, except for poor Germany which is always the badguy.
>>139480559
God damn.
>>139478094
American Sniper
>>139480543
>the people in SR, in a way run by retards when compared to our values.
You see, throughout history, mankind were usually ruled by retarded, that's why our history is so bloody. We didn't have this modern mentally from day zero. Ancient humans killed each other without thinking anything about it at the beginning of humanity, just like beasts. It's only until someone realized doing that would make themselves extinct, they made murder the forbidden sin that one would receive severe punishment if committing. We learns to behave as we become more and more effective at killing each other. The final push is nuclear weapon, which gave us this "modern" mentality. Those Gate people will be the same. once they understand that mindlessly killing their own kind will lead to extinction, they will become more civilized.

>>139481250
Well, i found it once now.
>>139481442
exactly, we already used atomic bombs multiple times (on japan). WMD's only have an effect once they've been deployed to prove they are more than just idle barking and threats.
SR people managing to get ahold of something of similar destructive power would undoubtedly cause mass destruction, though maybe not wipe out all life, but enough to possibly render some species extinct with the rest barely better off.
>>139481187
don't diss the JSDF too much, while they haven't seen any wars lately, they are still in the Top Ten Military Firepower in the world.
I'm going to marry Rory.
>>139481837
shut up Hardy
>>139481703
War is all about humans, not weapons, you see. When you give cowards and idiots advanced weapons, you only strengthens their enemy's power. That's basically what happen in South Vietnam and Iraq. The South Vietnam Army was also in that Top Ten. And then they collapsed in a few weeks, gave all the weapons the US gave them to the Vietcong, just like how the Iraqi empowered the ISIS.
Is it lewd time?
>>139481606
>SR people managing to get ahold of something of similar destructive power would undoubtedly cause mass destruction, though maybe not wipe out all life, but enough to possibly render some species extinct with the rest barely better off.
Yeah, but then the survivors will understand the terror of those powers and rebuild a peaceful civilization. Emroy then can open the gate to get more species. Everything is ok.
>>139479488
I have a question. Does Emroy even know the full situation on Planet Earth?
>History already proves that the moment mankind achieved the power to destroy themselves, they effectively abandoned their right to wage war on global scale.
I think it depends on the nation's beliefs and principles. If the Romans had the military might of nukes I'm sure they would have done something to destroy parts of the world by now.
>>139482079
we call this a major setback, while it may not be an issue to a god that may or may not be immortal, i'm sure they have some sort of plan or reason for what they are doing. If the plan was to, say, preserve all these species that would eventually kill themselves off......then they would effectively have failed if the SR species don't have any originals left to take from
>>139481703
They're in the top ten - at ninth or tenth (ignoring nuclear arsenals). Yet ranking alone will obfuscate the true power difference, eg Japan has 3 carriers to USA's 19. There's at least two major power gaps in military strength between USA and Japan.
>>139481703
Firepower does not equal quality.
I dont get what are you guys all freaking out about
I liked the show very much because I enjoy watching jsdf steamrolling everything in sr with ease and smug faces

Handwaving all the serious scientific issues does.
SR is identical to Terra - and all the other worlds SR connected to - when it comes to protein structure, elements, gravity (thus identical geology and circumference), atmospheric pressure, atmospheric composition, natural satellites, size and type of star orbited, etc.
That military ventures take precedence over scientific research is a goddamn embarrassment. There's fucking magic and nobody is taking the time to figure out how it works.
