The climactic conclusion of Gate has woefully arrived, delivering one final action scene of epic proportions before parting with viewers in a particularly cheesy fashion, and of course causing many to wonder about the possibility of a 3rd season…
Omake:
i think the studio just want to move on to something new
last few episode was sorta half-assed
I dont care how much ypu want that doushinji, or whatever, if your freind is being made queen, you go to the ceremony
I didn’t think it was possible to ruin Rory, but they did. In the first season she was a badass with hilarious quirks but this season they made her stupid moe. Hell in the latest episode, they got her horny for the sake of making her erotic instead of just making her the blood thirsty Demi god she is.
I don’t know about a season 3 but I think a couple of OVA’s and possibly a movie maybe coming. They tied up some loose ends but still have some unfinished business (Bunny Queen, the idiot Prince and his 3 generals, and the Dark Gate chapters). Plus rumor has it that the author of the light novel maybe doing a part 2 to the novel. Hopefully the popularity of the anime, light novel and manga will be enough to keep it going. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the next couple of months. Keep your fingers crossed.
there is also the pied piper as well as the whole BS involving the underworld goddess hardy. dont forget them.
Didn’t read the manga this far nor the novels but the anime was simply TERRIBLE at portraiting Zolzal, Tyule, bunny girl from Alnus or basically anyone. There were so many plot points that were started and then dropped, it is ridiculous. Whoever wrote the storyboard this season needs to be banned from ever doing this job again. If you run into time constraints, cut unnecessary scenes. That bunny girl assassination attempt? Went nowhere, results in falling in love, what? That scene with Zolzal and little brother discussing how Zolzal is actually pretty clever and only acts like a buffoon? Forgotten, Zolzal now believes his own act. Little brother never seen again. It feels like all the characters were rewritten in the last 8 episodes just to make this ending possible. Begs the question why would they even make a second season so soon after the first, of course, the answer is money. They even end the show with the first opening as if to say “Remember when this show was good?”.
One more thing: Yao. After the dragon chapters her voiced lines could be counted on one hand, same for Tuka. Can’t kill them off but at least give them one line per episode, director-san!
They tried to cram about 1000 pages of novels in about 5 hours. Of course, if you squeeze that hard you kill it.
