GATE -- and in our next episode...

This scene from the manga should be in the next episode. It will be interesting to see what the art looks like. Will the cloth be less sheer? Will there be fortuitous sprays of flowers obscuring the view? We'll find out tomorrow.

UPDATE: Speculations about the rest of the anime below the fold. (HUGE SPOILERS!!!)


The last event of episode 6 (Itami's capture) takes place near the end of chapter 13 of the manga. If they continue this pace, and if it's 1 cour, then they'll run up to about chapter 26.

In that case it will end just after we return from visiting Japan (manga chapter 24). Possibly we'll introduce Yao (the dark elf) in the last episode as a teaser. She's introduced in chapter 25 but isn't a big player for a while. More likely it's going to end with the establishment of the trading community and its growing success.

I'm sure we won't meet Zorzal (the Empire's crown prince), who first appears in chapter 29. And we definitely won't get Yao's main arc, which begins in chapter 38 and ends in chapter 46. If there's a second series, that's probably how it ends.

1 The anime has been understandably reluctant to include all of the dead female bodies in the story, so I suspect she'll be wearing a bathrobe instead of that little gauze.

I do believe you will not be much disappointed by how the anime studio chose to handle this...
