Obviously, he is in the show to be an everyguy anyone can relate to, but also admire. Itami might come across as a bit of a slacker at first, but for all his complaints, he does not shirk his duty. You can probably lay a lot of things at GATE's feet, but to the show's credit, you'll never be confused about where it stands. And even if it did, it's been easy enough to just ignore its angle and take it for what it is.Īs such, GATE isn't the first anime I've watched that puts national politics on its program, but it's definitely one with the strongest sense of a political angle, easily recognizable due to its blatant, almost hilarious lack of subtlety. For the most part, keeping to that standard have been easy, as anime in general tends to stay away from politics as well.
I usually make it a habit of not getting very political in my reviews, mostly because I carry very little interest in politics in general, but also because I don't think it's my place to lecture or argue. During the crisis, Itami saves many lives and keeps the troops somewhat up to date, and for his actions, he is given a promotion and a place in the forces tasked with entering the gates and surveying the area on the other side, as well as setting up a defense perimeter. Youji Itami is a self-professed otaku who'd gladly prioritize his hobbies over his work, though his dedication is put to the test when a gate appears in the middle of Tokyo, from where an army of orcs, goblins and other fantastical beings pour out and start attacking the people.
