Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri Story
The military fantasy series begins when a gate appears in Tokyo’s Ginza district sometime in the 21st century. From the gate pours out monsters, knights from middle-age Europe, and other fantasy-like beings, and they kill many of the citizens of Tokyo. This event is known as the Ginza Incident.
The government sends a small group of soldiers from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the alternate world beyond the gate. Led by otaku soldier Yōji (voiced by Junichi Suwabe), they find that the villages in the world are being attacked by a dragon. An elf girl (Hisako Kanemoto) who is a survivor from the dragon’s rampage joins the group in their travels across the dangerous new world.
GATE anime season 2 will cover the Flame Dragon Arc of the original light novel series by Takumi Yanai. The main staff and cast of the show will return to reprise their respective jobs and roles in the series. The anime will have a new opening theme song and it is titled “GATE II ~Sekai wo Koete~” (GATE II ~Surpass the World~) performed by Kishida Kyōdan & The Akeboshi Rockets.
