Go To

1* AllStarCast: The Anime is full of well known Japanese voice actors.
2* BackedByThePentagon: The JSDF capitalized on the anime adaptation of ''Gate'' by incorporating it into their [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/06/27/summer-tv-anime-gate-featured-on-jsdf-recruitment-posters recruitment posters]]. Furthermore, the JSDF also provided technical assistance to anime so they could get information on the equipment they use. It helps that Takumi Yanai, the author of the original novels, is a former member of the JSDF himself.
3* ExecutiveMeddling:
4** A more reasonable example than most; the original WebSerialNovel had very right-wing nationalist views by the author. When Alphapolis published the series, they convinced the author to [[LighterAndSofter remove or tone down those views]] since Japanese right-wing politics are controversial and very sensitive in Japan.
5** Crunchyroll edited out the JGSDF flag in the 1st episode possibly due to avoid offending some viewers who might have mistaken it for the Imperial Japanese Army Rising Sun Flag.
6* NoExportForYou: Sekai Project has officially licensed and translated the manga in English but only for North American customers. However, they dropped the series after volume 2.
7* PlayingAgainstType: David Wald known for voicing badass characters like Duke Togo, as Itami.
8** Maaya Uchida and Stephanie Wittels as Kuribayashi, ActionGirl who doesn't hesitate to take the fight to the enemy.
9** Creator/BrittneyKarbowski voices Lelei, a ReiAyanamiExpy, which is a stark contrast to [[GenkiGirl most of the characters she normally voices]].
10* SeriesHiatus: After the first twelve episodes of Season 1 aired in 2015, the anime took a break and continued airing the next twelve episodes on January 2016.
11* WriteWhatYouKnow: The series focuses a lot on the Japanese Self Defense Force. Takumi Yanai, the author of the series, is a former member of the JSDF himself.
