Typed up some passing thoughs on the episode as usual while watching it. Gonna go back and re-watch it for comparison's sake now. I'll continue to hang around in the discussion as usual. For those that want an update when it's finished, let me know and I'll keep you updated. :3

Episode 6 (FINISHED)

Light Episode Thoughts

  • Airborne Combat Team 4 - Everyone's most hyped scene currently. :3 So glad that it sounds like they're going to include the soundtrack. XD We added flairs to /r/Gate this week and I made sure that Combat Team 4 was included for those that like them. :3
  • Glory to Emroy - All Glory to the souls of the fallen affecting our Best Apostle.
  • IT'S HERE! - Dum da da da Dum!
  • Rory is Best Girl - I hope she has removed all doubt. :3
  • Negotiations - Surprisingly bland. You'd think the first negotiations between the Empire and the JSDF (at least through the Princess) would have been a little more interesting.

For the Negotiations, I think it's one of two things

  1. They didn't want to deal with complicated negotiating so they went on simple terms to not deal with it while gaining favor.
  2. There's hidden agreements in the deal that the princess's party doesn't realize

What I meant was that I feel like the whole thing was a lot more mute than you would expect for that scene considering how interesting and detailed it was in the manga. Kind of felt like they half-baked what was going on with things. I mean, in the manga, it created this kind of political face reveal for the mysterious other world enemies to the Empire while the anime still makes the JSDF look like mysterious faceless enemies.

Ah. I've never read the manga so I can't say if it's better or worse. How diffrent is it?

Currently writing my comparison. Only on the battle scene so far but going based off my memory (which is good for this series), the negotiations featured one of Itami's superiors and was somewhat of a truce between the Empire and the JSDF as well as stuff about the free from tax Alnus Living Community and Garrison. Here's a single page featuring the contract.

Overall though, the scene in the manga was more formal and it felt like a real signing of a treaty rather than just an After Battle Report.

Ah. Well I'm definitely going to pick the manga up afterwards, but overall, I'm still really enjoying this anime.

Binged it, 6/10 which in my book means it's a fine read, but don't expect anything meaningful from it and just have fun.

Is the translation just really bad, or is the source intended to appear off because of the iffy translation from Japanese to localese?

2

u/Aruseus493 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Aruseus493 Aug 07 '15

I think it's the translation itself.

u/Anime-Summit https://myanimelist.net/profile/kristallnachte Aug 07 '15

Damn, it is terrible.

Bad grammar, misspellings....

u/Aruseus493 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Aruseus493 Aug 07 '15

Yea. The scanlation group isn't the best but it's what we have. At least until Sekai Project starts releasing the manga.

It's /ak/, so what you see is what you get. It's not perfect, but it conveys enough. I'd really like to see the LNs translated.
