Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri Fanservice Review Episodes 13 – 13

gate eps 13 - 13 img 01 cover 01

Gate is back!  And wastes no time jumping into sex slaves, prostitutes and lolis.  Beast girls and human girls alike.  Just what is going on over there on the other side of the dimensional gate???

Manga

Once again, if you want nudity, the manga is your best option.  You can check out Wizard’s most excellent Gate – Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku Tatakeri manga fanservice compilation.

Official Art (Satoru SAO)

For nudity in artwork from the official artist of the manga, Satoru SAO, you can check out his official gallery and his pixiv gallery.  The galleries do include artwork from his other series but there is a good amount of artwork with characters from Gate.

Here is a another small sample of his Gate related artwork.  This seems to be as much fanservice of Lelei as we are going to get.  I don’t recall any Lelei nudity even in the manga.

Anime

Gate wastes no time in getting off to fast start in it’s split-cour second season.  The second cour covers the “Flame Dragon Arc” and let’s just say things are going to get dicier and racier in season two than they were in season one.

I’m not expecting any nudity in season two just like in season one (so far), but what’s interesting is that there is almost nudity in the new OP and ED not once but thrice…

Episode 13

The first episode of season two sure felt like a Type A show.  But when I went back and made materials for this review, there was more ecchi than I had originally thought.

First bit of almost nudity from the new OP.  Bit blurry though.

There’s a new loli in town.  Her name is Sherry Tyueri.  Let’s just say that loli’s thought and acted differently in medieval times than they do in modern times (although it’s toned down).   She sure is cute though.

Second bit  of almost nudity in the OP.  Rory Mercury FTW!

They went there in the anime.  Bunny warrior sex torture.  But only in shadow play.  Still for a TV show that’s gone mainstream, I was wondering if they would skip over this scene entirely.  But she is an important part of the plot for season two.

If you look closely, you can see a wee bit of bunny girl hair where the nipples should be…

Boy, Sherry isn’t bashful about an elbow plant is she???

Princess Pina Co Lada losing it was a bit amusing…  Nice legs!

Welcome to a medieval red light district.  Gate season two went there too…  And if you look closely, you should see another bit of almost nudity…

Still think Mari is the prettiest girl in the show.  And she’s a soldier woman too…

Her name is Misery.  She’s a whore (prostitute) in the red light district.  She says so herself.  She’s not hard to like even if she is a bird girl and a bit of an Amazon at that.  Really nice bosom too…

Not to spoil too much but Yao is already up to no good.  She has her reasons…

Dang it Mari.  What a face.  And tight ass and tummy…  Really nice to see Mari get more screen time too…

Don’t mess with Mari, she’s still a soldier girl at the end of the day…

The  one and only almost nude scene from the ED (and third one between OP and ED of new season).  I would really like to see this one without steam…

And the three main girls are just so kawaii.  They may not be a real harem, but don’t ever forget they are powerful enough to take on a small army by themselves…

Promo Art

Nice promo poster!  Dark Elf X Light Elf.  Who’s shipping Yao X Tuka for this show???

Fan Art

Fan art for Gate anime really seems to be picking up.  For now, these are holdovers from last season but new fan art is on the way for future Gate TV fanservice reviews!

Overall

The bad news is that none of the Gate BDs from season one that have been released so far have had any nudity.  Unfortunately, I called it in my earlier reviews.  It’s A-1 Pictures after all.  Not impossible, just improbable and only in small amounts (Magi and Vividred Operation) .  So there’s still a chance.

The good news is that Gate season two has upped the ante a little bit when it comes to ecchi.  I was not expecting almost nudity in both in the OP and the ED and four times total at that.  Plus they went there with both the sex torture and red light district.  Still much tamer than in the manga though…

Long story short is that Gate has gone mainstream on us.  And it seems to be successful as a mainstream anime so don’t expect them to feel any pressure to add nudity in the future.  But you never know.  The odds are not zero with A-1 Pictures.

Still I’m very much enjoying watching Gate again.  It’s still a good show and I’m still partial to military SF.  I’m glad Gate is back for a second season and  I am curious to see just how far they will go on the ecchi front.  Stayed tuned…
