Ok, I’ll tell how it can be improved. Seeing as how you can’t see the flaws in this cornucopia of wasted potential, Incompetence, and Otaku Self-Pandering.
1. Remove the Shounen elements from Gate (a Seinen), things like the Male JSDF members acting like horny teenagers when around Animal women, the childish dialogue, etc. you can’t have these types of manga blend together without it being a disaster.
2. Either Remove or tone down the Ultra Nationalistic Propaganda even further. It’s annoying to see other nations and their militaries hold the idiot and villain Balls just to make Japan look like saints in comparison (even if Japan is snatching the Special Regions resources from the natives without them knowing their true value. And taking away their land by stating that the entire special region is a part of Japan) The Empire are portrayed as Barbaric Savages who use poor tactics to win their wars besides the typical (Suicidal) Charges and treat all non-humans like shit.
The Three superpower nations, anyone who’s against the JSDF, or anyone who has a political stance different from the authors, are Shown to be Arrogant, Selfish, Malicious, Incompetent idiots. With the three Super power nations in particular are shown to be are willing to secretly invade Japan for hostages, even if causing a major political incident from it. While also at the same time, getting their asses kicked by the Japanese because “they didn’t think they had it in them” despite having highly trained soldiers. Which in this story? Don’t act like it.
3. Remove the Otaku and Harem elements. This and Number 2 is what made Gate to be bad despite its potential. Every time an animal girl appears, every male JSDF member runs over to them and starts fawning over them like Horny teenagers instead of acting like professional disciplined soldiers. All the main characters except for the Main MC are female so they can fill up the Harem, no other males are focused on. It’s all Otaku pandering to their fantasies with woman. It honestly saddens me that the author brushes aside the potential of his own work just to pander to a certain audience and leave the others in the dust. But hey, he’s an otaku himself, so it’s no surprise.
4. Remove Itami as a character, He only serves to be the Author’s and other Otaku’s Self-Insert. He has a heart of gold, an Otaku who can disobey orders and get away with it, Acquires a Harem who serve as the other MCs, gets everything and suffers little to no consequences of his actions, and is loved by almost everyone. That’s really all he is, the only other thing I can say about him is that he has the stock Otaku personality traits Otakus are portrayed as in media. Besides Itami, no other JSDF character gets as much extensive focus, because Itami and his Harem is hogging all the spotlight.
How about you tell us why this Manga is good and doesn’t deserve to be tossed in the garbage bin?
And to Kuokkanen: Except we don’t really see any of that happen in Gate. We don’t see the Empires soldiers reflecting and cutting the JSDF’s bullets, nor do we see them move at Supersonic or Hypersonic+ speeds. Even Itami, a normal human, can go toe to toe with an Empire soldier. Or even Yanagida, who took down a warrior bunny who was moving at superhuman speeds because of her races abilities, yet was still beaten despite having the superior psychical abilities. If normal earth humans can take on the natives by themselves, then clearly this was meant to be a realistic Novel. The only exceptions to this rule are the Apostles, and even then, they can only stop some bullets and get hit by others. And they can’t even do damage to a dragon, only knock it around.
I hope one day people would see this manga has flaws and drop the rating to a 7.
