I've watched FMP but not the other two and just to make sure, is this the one you mean :
Gate
Drifters
I'll go check both out, iirc there a new Gate coming out, but it's a new timeline of something not related to this one, is that right or am I thinking of a different series?
Thank you for the suggestion !
The upcoming GATE season will follow a completely different set of characters, and the ones from season 1 only show up in cameo/guest roles. Its set a couple of years later (so, not a new timeline). Also, navy instead of army.
Ah, okay. Is the first season ends in cliffhanger ? Not that I mind, but read quite a few comments wanting them to just continue with the first ensemble.
No cliffhanger, but the story goes on in the source. So many people would rather see that continue than having a spin-off.
Yes, it's those two.
As for the new Gate, I don't know anything about it.
Man that first one was crazy. I loved the whole thing then was like: wait, did I just watch pro colonial propaganda?
Great show
Lol, which one did you referring to? Drifter or Gate?
I honestly didn't expect this many recs, the subs usually have very few comments.
Gate. It's honestly super good though. Id watch it again, but it was one of those things that sort of arrested me. It could have come out of 19th century England. Makes you remember some stuff lol
You asked a bunch of nerds about anime lol. Do you know how long I e wanted to talk about this?
You weren't kidding with the colonial propaganda. I genuinely upset of myself cuz I was cheering the JDSF when they rescued Italica lol.
By all means, talk about it even if it's unrelated to my request. I will still read all the replies, but the current recs I'm getting are pretty good, and there's still a lot to get through.
Nippon Sangoku just finished airing, and I'm on the fence whether to continue reading or not. I mainly read and usually didn't watch series I follow cuz it rarely enhances the experience. The show production is top notch, and I'm in a dilemma because on one hand I want more but on the other hand I kinda want to watch season 2 fresh if that ever happen.
Oh, that's interesting. How do you go about reading the series?
