Divine Gate Final thoughts

Divine Gate is the best comedy of the winter season. What's that? "But Divine Gate isn't a comedy its a ACTION anime" you say? Let me explain why this piece of shit is the best comedy of the winter season but to do that let me go back and explain what this show was "SUPPOSE"  to be.

Divine gate was suppose to be a action anime revolving around three people the main characters Alto, midori and Akane trying to get to the gate. Each has their own personal reason as to why they want to reach the gate and as each episode progress it is made clear. The first few episode were solid footing as to what this show COULD have been. Then episode seven happen and from then on out it became a FUCKING DISASTER!


Side note Underline Alto water bending teacher COULD see that charlie st cloud ghost child thing that has been following Alto since the first episode.

So Alto Finally meets up with his brother who we find out or i find out is his twin but to be honest any one of male charters of the Knight of the Round with the exception of the old guy could have been alto brother i mean most of the males of the Knight had BLOND HAIR for fuck sakes.  Their meeting was so weird but it ends with his brother somehow making a water version of AOT 3D maneuvering gear to fight Alto and alto trying to kill him before he escapes.

So the gang reach the gate which turn out to be a big ol scale  measuring human subconscious and conscious and grants the person wish. Did they use it? FUCKING NOPE! All because Ginki aka foruth child (that is literally what the counsel called him) came gave some long speech about how they needed the counsel and all of a sudden everyone decided to NOT use the gate.


At the end lancelot who we though was dead(and we seen get stab) is now some what immortal along with the other knight as he informs the gang that they are all alive.  The last episode ends with clips of what each characters is presently doing and it ends with the most bullshit cliff hanger ever!


Plot-3
Art-2
Characters- 1.2
Most of the characters who had blond hair blue eyes look like FF7 Cloud rejects
Overall 2.5

If you go into watching this thinking its a comedy it way more enjoyable than trying to take it seriously because god knows it didn't or stop near the end.

Divine Gate episode 7

Ok seriously what the fuck?!  This week episode took a sharp turn to the left. From the pass episode while it was vaguely mention the main focus of this whole anime was to get to the gate and that each main character has a reason to get to the gate, APPARENTLY somewhere along this week episode somebody at HQ must have said "Fuck it" because we got  this train wreck  mess of a episode.


We start this weeks episode off with Alto and his friends with the Knights of the round table now apparently dressed in all white. I say this because the Knight spend the pass episode dressed in all black are somehow now magically dressed in all white for what reason i do not know but all of them are standing in front of the area that lead them to where the  gate is. Before they are able to get to the gate they have to fight some "gods" that protect the gate  so the knights decide that it would be best to let their leader, Arther, and Alto and his friends go on head to the gate while they engage in the most useless battle scene since this show has aired.

So the four are at the gate and somehow during the bloodbath that ended with all but one of the knights dead the gods ended up merging together for some reason and attack Arther into the gate. Alto and his friends start to bang on the close door of the gate for it to open but that when the only survivor of the knights show up and tell them to relax. Beaten and almost on his last leg  Arther is almost finished but that when his good old dick of a pal Loki shows up and offer him a deal,  stop trying to destroy the gate and be his or just die right there.

Side note -while the other knights was fighting and dying it was reviled to the only survivor  that Arther doesn't want the gate he wants to DESTROY  the gate and restore the world to what it was before the gate existed. Why? who care.

The gate opens and

I guessed he chosed the first option because he stab the last surviving Meyerbeer of the knights before accepting the dark power from the sword loki gave him in the gate.


This episode was a hot mess. Animation aside it was like this was ment to be somewhere near the ending episode not episode 7. It nwas like someone took a page from Madoka Magica episode 3 and change the story pacing. The Knight fight scene was a mess and kinda not really needed. Arther turning evil was predictable but the way they chose to portray it was kinda awkward to me  this whole episode could be summed up with a big old what and why?

The episode end with alto and friends falling through the floor along with the dead body of the guy Arther stab.

Winter Anime 2016 honorable mentions

These are the anime i will be checking out if i remember of i found not interesting enough to watch weekly.

Side not HaruChika is now on this list because it really gotten to boring for me to want to check out weekly or bi-weekly. Anyway let get into this review.

Schwarzesmarken

While this is a very good show and one of my favorite artist did the character designs for this show im really not a fan of the Muv-luv game or anime. What makes this different from the original Muv-luv series is that it takes place in 1983 Germany. With it's historical and military elements its a good show but im not a muv-luv fan and Schwarzesmarken takes place in the Muv-luv universe.


 Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai kakkei/ Active  Raid: Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Eighth Unit

If you like Tiger and bunny but wish it was mix with the excitement of rail wars and had the clone main girl  from psycho pass then this is the anime for you. All jokes aside while the show plot looks good it took me three time to watch the first episode because it is kinda boring. I am giving this show a chance though.

 Oshiete! Galko-chan/ Please tell me! Galko-chan

 Really not much to say about this show. It a three minuet short about three high school girls. Glako a outspoken blond hair girl with big breast. Otako is a short hair, short girl who is shy yet ends up being friends with Glako and Ojyo the tall airhead of the group. 


 Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara.

Another three minunt short. This one is about a middle school girl who discover a bird ball thing who grants her the power of becoming a magical girl. Only problem is her outfit is a swimsuit. it pretty funny to watch each episode.


Sekkou Boys 

  The anime is about a new idol unit called the Sekkou Boys and it features Saint Giorgio,Hermes,Medici and Mars the only problem (besides the fact of them being either dead or not really real) is that the idol unit is made up of bust of the historical figures. Miki Ishimoto after dropping out of a art school due to frustration from drawing to many bust figures was put in charge of managing the newly form unit. Apparently this is also a game as well. It a short but its funny to see the frustration Miki goes through while managing the Unit 



Divine Gate

 Divine Gate from the start has huge flaws but it is a very interesting anime. I can see why alot of people will or have ended up dropping this.  I saw two games and two anime similarities from this anime but Divine gate is it own thing in Japan which has made its cross over with a few anime and game series. 


Kokaku No Pandora/ Pandora of the Crimson Shell Ghost Urn

 Well i really do not know if this is suppose to be a yuri? or a shoujo-ai but for the most part it follows a girl name Nene who is cyborg who plans to live with her aunt on cenancle island and on the way meet a inventor and her neko maid assistant Clarion who is also a cyborg. For the most part whenever Uzal get involved in some mess, Nene and Clarion has to team up and use to pandora code which equate to nene putting her hand into Clarion and her gaining some new weird power up. I like the show so far but i can't figure out if it was suppose to be a yuri or a shoujo ai.


Ooya-san wa Shinhunki !/ The landlord is in Puberty!

well we have another three minute short.  Its about a guy who moves into a apartment and well his landlord is a middleschool girl named Chie.  The show is cute but it could have been longer to be me.

 

That is it. if you want to read part one   or  part two 

They will be right there to read. See ya next time.
