Wow, there's a show I never expected another season for. Loved the first two, looking forward to this one.

So this is essentially a side story rather an a continuation of the main story?
That's disappointing, but at least we're finally getting something more from the franchise.

I am pleased. I wish there were more "modern military units in a fantasy / time travel setting" shows out there.

I bought Gate recently from Sentai when it was on sale, so I'll have to push up watching it so I'll be ready for a second season to drop, even if it is an unrelated story.

What an emotional roller coaster; "GATE is getting a second season? No, it must be that other Gate anime. No, it's the right one but it's named the Second Season? Oh, it's an adaptation of a series called GATE second season. It's a spin-off, not a continuation? Oh."
The original succeeded despite being an A-1 pictures production, with the writing outpacing dodgy animation. It's not what I would like but it does beat having another not GATE related Gate anime.

I would have preferred another season of the first, but why not? After all this time, I had already lost hope for another Gate.

JSDF propaganda returns! Now with the Navy!
In all seriousness though, never expected to see GATE come back, though I'm not sure if the new cast will win people over.

Excuse me but how many times in American Media has it portrayed the American military/people as saviours or the only hope for the world to be saved? like cmon mate. everyone has patriotism for their home nation.
Anyway in all seriousness, I am Glad this is getting made, While it is not following our main cast from the first book series it is still a continuation of the series just under a new military division and new characters.
Also don't Worry best Boy Itami and Rory do eventually make a comeback and also star in it around book 4 and Book 5 so you will see them again eventually.
The Original Novels ended Years ago as did the Light Novel Adaptations. The Manga Adaptation is in its final run with around 5-8 chapters left to cover more or less. So now they are shifting to this series instead.
Although i do wonder if the Author is planning to continue writing it as the sequel series has been on a hiatus since 2020 last i checked with Book 5 being the last published book.
Also i do hope that we got either an anime or at least a manga adaptation of The Gaiden Books that follow Itami's group in between series during the 4 year gap between the 2 series.

Hahaha same here... Truly a disappointment. I was hoping for a sequel of the second season of the original.

why call it season 2 if it's an all new story with all new characters? I was excited for 15 seconds and then I saw the image.

The LN series is called "Season 2", not the anime.
The World and setting is the same thus it is a sequel. And the original cast will also return at some point.

I think the section adapted in to anime was already the best bit of the original Gate, so I'm probably more interested in this than a continuation.

I don't always read every ANN article, so it may be more than just this one, but it's 2025.
Happy 4th.
