On one hand, the series is a mixture of military showoff, bleak drama, and general socio-political commentary on a scenario in which a country has initiated war against a foe which dwarfs its military might a hundred times over. GATE puts me distinctly at odds with my intuitions: is this series decent or is it good? As an odd conglomerate of several different genres and topics, pinning down its scope is rather difficult. As my quality compass has honed a bit over the years, I am fairly apt at picking out “decent” series these days, and on occasion stumble across the good or the great. Usually the synopsis, title, cover image, and average user ratings are the extent of what I expose myself to upfront, leaving my expectations completely open to whatever gets thrown my way. Story: When deciding to watch a show, I generally aim to have as little information going in as possible.
