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 (a replacement for Japan's military) to the alternate world beyond the gate. Led by otaku soldier Youji, they find that the villages in the world are being attacked by a dragon. An elf girl who is a survivor from the dragon's rampage joins the group in their travels across the dangerous new world.

Where it came from
Gate was produced by A-1 Pictures and premiered in 2015, based on the light novel series written by Takumi Yanai. Originally published on the user-generated site Arcadia, the narrative follows a Japanese Self-Defense Force officer who leads a mission into a portal that suddenly opens in Tokyo, connecting contemporary Japan to a fantasy world. The series emerged during a period of rising interest in the portal fantasy genre, merging modern military procedural elements with classic high-fantasy tropes.
The animation design sought to juxtapose the stark realism of modern military equipment with the colorful, ornate aesthetic of the fantasy realm. Directed by Takahiko Kyōgoku, the production aimed to balance action-heavy sequences with character-driven world-building. While it gained attention for its premise, it also sparked significant discourse among audiences regarding its nationalistic themes and the depiction of diplomatic and military interventions, marking it as a polarizing entry in the mid-2010s anime landscape.
